    Polygamy?

    (Hugh McBryde;45691) Make the points yourself. I won't play "cut and paste" wars with authors that will not defend their own views. If "Glenn Miller" would show up and debate me, but he will not, I would pay attention, but even Glenn Miller is plagiarizing Matthew Henry. well, you're not the...

    Polygamy?

    (Hugh McBryde;45567) The example was about how someone could be one flesh without being one flesh with another wife. You equivocate. Besides, Rachel and Leah had separate tents, Gideon apparently rode the circuit and other kings had their wives spread out in the kingdom.I love it when people...

    Polygamy?

    http://www.christian-thinktank.com/polygame.html:"The clearest verse comes from Jesus in His teaching on divorce: Jesus replied, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. 9 I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife...

    Polygamy?

    (Hugh McBryde;45457) Interesting, because you seem to conceed that if God gave a man another wife, who already had one, that would be ok. Is the number then five and no more?No. An arm on a turnstile would be one with the hub. That does not mean it is one with another arm on the turnstile. A...

    Polygamy?

    (BeforeThereWas;28546) Are you sure that such a singular exists within the Hebrew from which that passage was translated? You appear to place much emphasis upon our English translations, which I've found to be quite problematic in most cases when it comes to various obscure particulars such as...

    School: No Jesus / Devil an Witches O.K.

    Wow this is an interesting thread. When I was a junior in highschool (2002) I dressed up as a Catholic Nun... but no one stopped me... I think I was one of 8 people who dressed up... I wonder why no one did stop me? It was an overtly religious costume... but in my school religious tolerance was...

    All sins are not equal!!

    (forgivenWretch;43672) As I have said numerous times, the Bible can not be used to dispute itself! And you sir are only trying your best to start something. Please grow up. You may have given 100 scriptures but you still have not proven anything, except that that your opinion is infallible, in...

    Is age a problem?

    (marksman;43460) I don't think that this is a consideration when it comes to leadership in the local assembly for the simple reason that the scripture makes it quite clear that eldership is the province of older men chronologically. There is no indication of any kind in scripture that says you...

    I don't want to be an Atheist

    (its_victoria08;43365) I haven't gone through and read every single reply here because... well, there's a lot, so I apologize in advance if this is a repeat of someone else's response.I was in your shoes about 6 months ago. Now, I believe more strongly than ever, and I know that God is there...

    How can we know that god exists?

    (Cybella;42583) I would like very much to believe that God exists, but I cannot seem to prove it to myself. Is there any proof for his existence, besides the Bible or "just faith"? I was brought up to be a Christian, but now that I am older I am more convinced by science than a preacher's words...

    Faith Gone?

    Faith is more than just feelings- it comes from the Father... every good and perfect thing does. I had a horrible bout of it where I had no faith... it really just ripped me apart- it ate at me... because it seemed like every minute was agony- but Two our Faith is more than just feeling...

    Is age a problem?

    There are a lot of seriously un-wise people running around who are far older than 20... I would take everything that ANYONE says with a grain of salt and always consult the scripture to see if what they are saying is accurate, Truth. A young person could quickly prove himself to be wise in the...

    I don't want to be an Atheist

    (His By Grace;41580) Thanks for those words, stlizzy. They are filled with so many truths. Hi, Remagoen. I'm just now back, checking out what you posted from the other day to me. I really do appreciate your taking time to truly read every word that a writer writes to you. That is a considerate...

    I don't want to be an Atheist

    Here is a note to... anyone who is reading it: This is not meant to persuade you of a yes or no- because only God can change a heart- and it's only a heart that is willing to be changed. So, this is just something to think about...God is real- and He exists in and of Himself. That is to say...

    I don't want to be an Atheist

    (forgivenWretch;40887) It is not hard to see that the quoted statement is nothing more than a mere taunt in seeking opinions or better yet seeking to attempt in making fools of others. It is quite obvious that you do not truly desire to be any thing but, even though you constantly tell us all...

    Can an evolutionist also be a Christian?

    (kalixx;39437) Hi Stlizzy! Yes, I also think that the argument here condenses down to the questions of what is nature of sin and what is the nature of the penalty for sin. If we are to take the 6 day creation literally then there is little reason to doubt the reality of Adam and Eve and the rest...
