• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Marriage helps prevent fornication in the chapter. We see that in the opening verses.
It all depends on how we frame our reading. What I see in the opening verses is Paul trying to clear up a few misconceptions. I'm not going to go 'round and 'round with you, though.

Some of his teachings are on the Internet. Can you identify this specifically? Was his argument based on the grammar of the word or historical and cultural context?
Most of the stuff on the internet are his Foundation Series teaching (Excellent btw). I have not come across his teachings on this subject. AFAIK, it was not in any of his books either.

It was from the use of the words in other philosophical and secular writings.

If it is true, you'd expect to see it in other sources, at least in an internlear which parses out the part of speech for the word in question.
