Side question, do you believe it’s fine to wear plant derived clothing or is that wrong in your eyes? I don't have a firm doctrine or position on that. However, I do see a few interesting things in Genesis and in the old law: - Clothes made from plants were insufficient and instead fresh leather fr...

Just seeing the similarities. My dogs would've certainly dived in to retrieve the stick and gotten clobbered while they fought over it. I would have had to tell them, "Don't blame me--I didn't ax you to do that." :lol: [Pardon my Southern accent.] :lol: Context is essential. :hi5 Memory: ...

Seems from the story that Delilah seduced Samson into telling her the secret of his strength which led to him losing his eyes. Delilah does not seem to have been an innocent bystander. Delilah was a Philistine and Samson's parents begged him to choose a wife who was a fellow Israelite and follower ...

I would add: perhaps I feel this way because I was never taught such nonsense as that women are responsible if I fell into lust. Instead, my parents taught me that it is important not to be a lustful or perverted person. The examples they used from scripture were Samson, Solomon, and King David, as...

Technically the Apostle John said (or wrote it), not Jesus. But I agree with your point. :? You think John was lying when he wrote that Jesus said these words? Not at all. If you read the Gospel of John, some of it is the writings and teachings of the Apostle John. And some of it is him directly qu...

Valerie, I think you were going to go to an evening service where Alistair was going to share more on his recommendation to this lady. Did I understand this correctly ? If so, did you go and what did he say that we don't already know ? https://www.parksidechurch.com/learn/resources/media-center/ser...

My grandchild would not want me there as I'd probably be weeping. You realize that weeping may be the best testimony in this case. It may not touch anyone who is fully hardened or one whom God has "given over" to a mind devoid of reason, but it still may reach someone. I don't think showi...

There were no "born again believers" at that point. Yes, I heard that point made somewhere. :) I think Sudsy you are basing your opinion on a lot of speculation vs facts. I do know God had allowed divorce & remarriage. He never allowed gay marriage or ge MN der changes. Bottom line fo...
