Re: Three Questions For You
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...

Re: Experts Confirm Genesis 19, Biblical City Destroyed by Explosion 1,000 Times Larger Than Atomic Bomb
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: ...

Re: Three Questions For You
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 ...

Re: Three Questions For You
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...

Re: Joining a church vs Actually obeying the rules
Now I would really be curious how the parents here of 14 year-olds would respond to a 14 year-old who says: "You know, I don't particularly agree with this one specific tenant of church teaching so I'm going to stop attending." Most parents would probably have rent their garments in respo...

Re: Alistair Begg: You should go to a transsexual wedding
You must be reading a different Bible? Here is the NIV Translation of John Chapter 3 which uses quote marks to indicate Jesus' actual words. I have highlighted in blue his actual words according to this particular translation: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%203&version=NIV If...

Re: Alistair Begg: You should go to a transsexual wedding
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...

Re: Alistair Begg: You should go to a transsexual wedding
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...

Re: Alistair Begg: You should go to a transsexual wedding
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...

Re: Alistair Begg: You should go to a transsexual wedding
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...
