Greetings! I find it very interresting how quickly and deeply we can get pulled into a discussion or debate on "the Law" from a question about where one gets ones quidance on morality. The bible makes it very clear that "the Law" was given to show men the standard which God requires and that...

Great point. So the rich do hoard away all the resources. I've covered that in my earlier post. They are no less guilty of the fact that these children have to steal to survive than the children that are doing the stealing. They are part of the problem. And that was part of my point. Greed...

It's wrong to steal. The bible says not to. But why would he have to steal what he needs? Doesn't the bible tell us to lend to those in need and not expect to be paid back interest? The bible tells us to give to those who are in need. I'm not saying to give all to all who are in need. The...

PS: This would be a good time to point out something Doc has been saying. God IS able to see the intents of our hearts. It's very clear that based on what happened in Genesis 3 that God saw no deceit intended in what Eve had said about the tree. In Mark 2 Jesus raises up a palsied man. There...

I don't think Eve said what she said with the intent to deceive. It looks more like she misspoke or more likely misunderstood what God had commanded them. She's only human after all. How often do we correctly quote EVERYTHING we are told? Have any of us NEVER misunderstood an order which we...

OK Doc. I don't what to argue either. But where did you get the idea that I had a selfish need to feel honest?!?! If I went with my "selfish needs" I'd LIE and say she wasn't there. And WHERE is my "unwilliingness to do something"? I think that if you re-read what I posted that I DO have...

Most unfortunate that funguy feels this way. Hopefully, he returns. Might I suggest one posts a specific belief followed by specific information/refrences which support such a belief. Then another posts contrary information of the same vein followed by a discussion. I've read through the posts...

I think that there is no grey area even in this situation. I believe that one can still be truthful in this matter. I'd tell him the truth, "Yes, your wife is hiding in my house...from you (it that is the case)." If he tries to force his way in, I'd have to take the appropriate action to...

Oh, one more thing. As for spanking for a messing room...no-go for young children like my 4 and 6 year olds. I don't spank for the state of the room. That comes when they fail to obey the order to pick it up or help me/my wife pick it up. Young children WILL mess up their rooms. BUT...they...

Excellent! But for spanking, I prefer not to use my hands. My children associate my hands as loving, comforting, and safe. I use something with a little more give that won't knock vertibae out of line but still gets the point across. Parents who spank, why and when do you spank? Is it...

Hola nada_te_turbe! I am not good with flashy languange and big words so I'll just get right to it. The bible tells us that God hates sin. The bible tells us that sin cannot dwell with God. Revelation 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it (Heaven) any thing that defileth, neither...

"...out of weakness and fear."? Is God weak? Who does God have to fear? Remember that the bible is God's Word. If it's not mentioned, it's not because of weakness and fear. People might shy away from discussing them, but NOT God. God gives us many examples of what a proper relationship is...

You're right. The thief was NOT dead before Christ. The soldiers had to break his legs to speed the process along. They didn't have to break Christ's because he was already dead. Good ref's by the way. What about Acts 8:26-38? Specifically vs 37. All indications here are that believing...

1 Know you are a sinner. Rom 3:23, Rom 5:12 2 Know there is a penalty for sin. Rom 6:23 3 Know you can't pay for it. Eph 2:8-9, Titus 3:5 4 Know the penalty is paid for you. Rom 5:8, Jn 3:16, 2 Cor 5:21, Titus 3:5 5 Know the Lord as your savior. Receive the free gift. Rom 10:13, Jn 3:16, 1 Jn...

I'll just throw this couple of cents in... In Genisis, God used water to kill everyone who had turned their backs on Him. In Numbers, God used Isreal to kill every Midianite who had turned their backs on Him. Just an observation...

Get a copy of the Hebrew and look up the same text to see where the phrase "and thy desire shall be for thy husband" came from. Check the definitions.

How is submitting to the authority of another being treated as a second class citizen???? In the Marine Corps, a Private is subject to the Private First Class, is subject to the Lance Corporal, is subject to the Corporal, is subject to the Sergeat, is subject to the Staff Sergeant, and so on...

Yes! Now we can all see that if we do not try to rationallize or add SELF into the equasion, it's easy to understand what God's Word is telling us. God bless you!

Well put! Remember what the Bible said? 1 John 4:19 We love him, because he first loved us. Same goes with our human relationships. It works like that. And yes, there were women who taught. There were none that led the church. None that had authority over the men in the church. Also, where...

[/font] Why would his "denomination" matter in an open-minded discussion? ...ANYWAY...moving on... Really? What about Romans 13:1-2 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: The powers that be are odained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the...
