it is nOT this commlicated normally. everyone can make excuses for whatever they please.

again, assuming culture dictates morality.

if things change, and we are to go with the change that everyone is doing, that is pretty much the same thing, whether you acknowledge it or not. and so that excuses us to dress however we want, even if it is indeed sexual in the culture that we live in? That's not what my Bible says. and to...

over and over again we find in the Old Testament God instructing His people "Do not do as they (the people they are driving out ) do. Do not defile the land by so doing" That included this sacrificing of HUMANS. and again, keeping his vow to his own hurt-would NEVER have included his daughter...

umm... people sin. and they did so in that time very greatly. that does not prove that these things that happened after Jeptha's lifetime that HE SINNED.

it is not found in Scripture that Jephtha (can we please use his real name? i too find it disrespectful to joke about scripture in such a crass manner) acted in a sinful way. it says he was a judge who led God's people. it gives an example of a foolish vow. but nowhere does it say he sinned...

that's not found in Scripture though. oOPS.:P

sooo... the culture in which we live, the kosmos spoken of in Scripture accepts more and more; more and more sin; more and more lust; more and more nudity; more and more sex outside of marriage; more and more promiscuity; Therefore as Christians we should do the same?live like the world we have...

ok. those verses are about not having sex outside of marriage. not sharing what is to belong to your spouse alone with others. period!! when we dress in a way that both shares part of that (body parts that should only be seen by a spouse) with whoever may have a lingering eye, and by so doing...

insultes and accusations. as ya'll LOVE TO SAY : BACK IT UP!! There is a very big difference between accusing of things , and having a different perspective. There is a very big difference between name calling (which I am one of the few regulars who have not participated in) and saying that...

I have already stated that I will not get into a contentious conversation or cat fights

LOL Adam was human and was indeed deceived..this thread is just getting worse and worse.

culture does not dictate morality in either sense. it may be used to excuse such though.

nice cut and paste job-thumbs up for leaving out the context! the context of those complaining that the same things were being discussed and so on and so forth. they said there was nothing else to say, so i answered with so bow out. cute though. btw, name calling is a civil matter? and no...

:amen: :thumbsup:

actually, if anyone ignored such a thing, God said that His face was set against them as well, so that argument does not fly either. 4 If the people of the community close their eyes when that man gives one of his children to Molech and they fail to put him to death, 5 I will set my face against...

i think we've all had times when CIRCUMSTANCES have caused us to feel very sad... that is not the same as clinical depression, and i don't think we should presume such a thing

God had not yet out-lawed such, nor given detailed instructions on sacrifices and offerings. in fact, He goes into great details of what will happen to those who disobey and offer their children. (they were killed by stoning) and that, in fact, did not happen: 7 Jephthah led Israel six...

I find it more than amusing that I am told unless I have something real to add from scripture to not participate, when the fact of the matter is that is all I have done...just because the thread is now full of scrambled together scriptures that do not truly belong together, twisted beyond...

Paul specifically addresses that this idea applies elsewhere (not to mention, how do you justify causing a brother to lust either way?): 1 Cor 10: 23"Everything is permissible"—but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible"—but not everything is constructive. 24Nobody should seek...
