    Are Children Natural-Born Sinners?

    First, neither answer in your pole presents a theologically sound response to the question. Like the question, "Have you stopped beating your wife?" The question suggests that certain conditions are true, without offering evidence. I've raised two kids. I've seen them transition from innocent...

    What sends a person to hell...?

    Simple answer: God sends a person to hell. Comment: It's an issue of Justice. God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked.

    Why is Slavery in the Bible?

    There are a lot of things "in the Bible" that are "not okay". Murder, rape, kidnapping to name a few. We know these are wrong because the Bible explicitly defines them. Further God makes no provision for such things. We don't found commands for instance that say: "If your going to murder do..."...

    OT Polygymy and NT Chastity

    *[[Mat 5:27-28]] WEB* "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery;' but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart. Frequently this verse is read with a strict webster dictionary approach. This makes...

    OT Polygymy and NT Chastity

    Man is created in the image of God. You may need to expound some. You are coming dangerously close to justifying sexual sin. Adam was commanded to be fruitful and multiply. God does not command sin, therefore sex itself is not sin. However, there are still commands and the potential of sin...

    OT Polygymy and NT Chastity

    I would take issue with that. Three million abortions suggest something entirely different. The divorce rate in the church says we do not care what God hates. Man is just as depraved as he has every been, perhaps more so. From my phone.... Rev 5:5 And one of the elders said to me, "Weep no...

    OT Polygymy and NT Chastity

    The question it's about authorial intent, not inference. From my phone.... Rev 5:5 And one of the elders said to me, "Weep no more; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals."

    looking for Scriptural references

    *[[Exo 21:10-11]] WEB* If he takes another wife to himself, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing, and her marital rights. If he doesn't do these three things for her, she may go free without paying any money. This is the only scripture I know of that specifies which provisions a...

    OT Polygymy and NT Chastity

    You mean the church, as in the assembly, the called out ones. You seem to concede polygyny in the OT, and suggest that it was done away with in subtle symbols. That just doesn't float...God just is not that coy. Consider circumcision. It starts in the OT and has a definitive end in the new...

    OT Polygymy and NT Chastity

    *[[1Ki 15:5]] WEB* because David did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, and didn't turn aside from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, except only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite. Lets be clear about what David's sin was, and was not. From my phone.... Rev 5:5...

    OT Polygymy and NT Chastity

    I love that the Monogamy Only Position has dissolved into attacking positions never taken with statements never made in the Bible. From my phone.... Rev 5:5 And one of the elders said to me, "Weep no more; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can...

    OT Polygymy and NT Chastity

    Your question presupposes that God allowed polygyny (not polygamy in general) not just in the past but throughout the Bible. So then, when did God change? The Bible tells us that God does not change(Mal 3:6), that his law is perfect(Psa 19:7), and his word is forever (Psa 119:89,160, Isaiah...

    OT Polygymy and NT Chastity

    Neat! Now we know what you believe. Nevertheless, none of that can subtract from what scripture actually says.

    OT Polygymy and NT Chastity

    I1prophetess Thanks for your obedience to God. I was certain that you would be back. You are correct, I am almost at a break though, and I have you to thank. Like I wrote before the biggest problem with your position is that it disqualifies Jesus as heir to David's throne, It denies that...

    OT Polygymy and NT Chastity

    *[[Exo 21:10]] WEB* If he takes another wife to himself, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing, and her marital rights. When discussing the obligation of a husband, can you skip this verse? Should you?
