I do not disagree with you, it's entirely possible the Genesis reference was about the children of Seth and Cain. I do not feel 100% certain either way. It has also been postulated that (if they were indeed spirit beings), the fathers would have been among the fallen angels, which have no...

Great topic, @enril ! Most of my regrets have to do with things I didn't do but wished I had, rather than things I did but wish I hadn't. But thats just me, we are all different. I think my biggest single regret is waiting so long to figure out my gifts and God's unique calling for me. I'm...

Yes, that's definitely possible, though "Sons of God" was typically used to describe angelic/spirit beings in the OT. It's definitely a mysterious passage. 1 Corinthians 11:10 is mysterious as well. Of course we won't know until we get there, but I'm assuming no marriage in Heaven also means...

Hi Edith, basket case refers to a person who is anxious and often a little crazy. It can be a general condition (like, Sally is always such a basket case) or a temporary one...... like "planning my wedding turned me into a real basket case".

Genesis 6: 1 - 4 Seems to indicate that some angels did have reproductive capabilities at some point. Some contend the verse only refers to fallen angels. Perhaps. But having reproductive organs does not mean one is bound to use them. Maybe that was a choice the angels had, and some chose...

Yeah I'm debating if I should jump in the game or sit on the sidelines and watch what unfolds 😏

There is now! 😜

Oh, I totally agree and I'm comfortable with following the Biblical rules.... I've even asked God to give me firmer guidelines for things that are not clearly laid out in the Bible, but He said He'd rather I learned to follow the Spirit haha. 😂 I'm definitely inclined towards rule-following...

Oh, I definitely agree that it should apply to anyone (male OR female) within a marriage, or even just within a somewhat serious dating relationship. 👍 Perhaps a single person is technically "free" to pursue the attentions of multiple other available singles, but if that is their main focus...

Thank you Sir! 😊 It drives me nuts when people become obsessed with the letter of the law and ignore the spirit of it. Us church people do like our rules!

Lol I doubt the women were any better! 😜 Keep in mind that a lot of new converts were being added rapidly.... Paul knew Timothy would be fighting against ingrained mindsets and cultural norms that would wreck the church if not guarded against 😬

For whatever its worth.... the Greek text literally translates "a one-woman man". Polygamy wasn't common in Ephesus at the time, but divorce/remarriage/adultery/fornication were all very common. Polygamists would definitely be disqualified, but I'm guessing the instruction was speaking more...

Hi Beckworth, I'm not trying to drag you back into the thread but I figured an answer is in order. I completely agree that we are now living in the Last Days, and have been for about 2,000 years. But I disagree that 1 cor. 13: 10 has come to pass already. There is nothing in that passage...

So we are NOT currently living in the last days? I thought you said we are.....

Stand by, she "liked" the OP almost an hour ago so probly still typing 😜.
