    Christian Marriage

    I am going to only approach this one last time and then I will be quiet. Gen 2:24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. What does "be joined to his wife" mean? If marriage=wedding happens in the church, how...

    Is praying in public against a direct command from Jesus? Does this also include church and public meals?

    I know a lot of people have been bringing up "worth-ship." What does "shipping of worth" have to do with anything. John 4:22 You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. So, when Jesus said this, what was He "shipping of worth?" Therefore, worship, to...

    Christian Marriage

    To marry means to join together. If two strangers have a one night stand where they become one flesh, they are married. If she was a virgin, widow or divorced because her husband committed adultery, she would be his concubine. A concubine is a woman that the man is "married" to that is not "his...

    sporadic thoughts - need help

    Honey, I can relate to all that you are saying. Many of us have been there. I was in a horrible relationship for almost 20 years (Long story). In my ignorance and lust, I became husband to and married a divorce woman. But I prayed to God and asked Him why my relationship was so horrible. AND HE...

    Christian Marriage

    I will just leave this here. 1 Cor. 6:15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not! 16 Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For “the two,” He says...

    Not sure if I ever received the Holy Spirit

    If I may, I would like to address this a little bit. There are requirements to receive the Holy Ghost. 1. You must believe Jesus IS the Son of God, That Jesus came down from Heaven in the flesh and died for your sins on the cross, and on the third day rose again to sit on the right hand of...

    Is praying in public against a direct command from Jesus? Does this also include church and public meals?

    I don't see giving Thanksgiving to God as prayer (though it could be). I see it more as worship. David dancing in the sight of God was worship, IMHO.

    Any Gamers here?

    My favorite game is Far Cry 5. There you are fighting against and evil (even biblical) cult. And the graphics are probably the best in gaming. But in the game you will do a lot of hunting for money to buy and upgrade weapons. As far as the game being violent, it does not bother me spiritually...

    Can a Christian marry someone they are not physically attracted to if they are spiritually compatible?

    1 Peter 3:3 Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel— 4 rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. Of course I speak as...

    Is praying in public against a direct command from Jesus? Does this also include church and public meals?

    I know this is a problem for some. If you are in a restaurant full of people that do not know Christ and you pray, when you look up, there are many disfigured faces looking at you with judging/ condemning eyes. Do not think anything of it. It is not your problem, it's theirs. When you see this...

    John 4:21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true...

    Resolving Problematic Interpretations of Scripture

    Matthew 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. 9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. I must confess that I have not heard of this TULIP before. But...

    Christian Marriage

    Oh I don't know. This is what Jesus said. Mat 19:9 And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery.” So, according to you, this scripture is null and void except for the...

    Christian Marriage

    I'm not telling anyone to do anything. Again, I am clarifying what "marry" really means. Too many say marriage is the relationship. It is not according to God. The relationship is before the wedding and the reason for the wedding and marriage.
