What are your thoughts on Matthew 5:38-45: 38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: 39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40 And if any man will sue thee at the...

I think it's obvious what Paul is saying here. Look at the mercy shown to the one who sinned in the Corinthian church. But do we sin that grace may abound? God forbid. "Whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him." 1 John 3:6 b. Of course we as Christian will sin at times! God is rich...

It's sin. No fornicators will inherit the kingdom of God.

Her husband was known in the gates!

I love this book! She had so much wisdom. Granted, they weren't married long at all, (I think around 2 1/2 years? because of Jim's death) but yes they had a very godly relationship before they were married. I don't think you'd even call it a courtship or dating hardly, but they were in love 5...

Thanks for sharing, that was interesting. I do realize it's not uncommon to get cold feet when you're about to get married. But as much as I sought the Lord about it I'm quite sure He would have revealed to me if it was just me. Yes my dad would require the young man to come to him for...

It is better for a man not to touch a woman. -the Apostle Paul

To your first question, his family was heavily influenced by the Seventh Day Adventists, and although there were some doctrines I agreed with, some I definitely did not. What I mainly hope other young people can glean is to learn from my mistake of going ahead before really having peace about...

No I don't think so unless I was desperate lol. Or maybe if I lived in the Regency era and I was 27, no fortune, and frightened like Charlotte Lucas and a Mr. Collins came along lol.. No but seriously. If so many women aren't attracted to you there may be an underlying problem.

Yes I think it was the beginning of the Omer count. My point was that we can't assume every time the KJV says "First day of the week" that it is saying "First of the sabbaths" (people think the translators added the "day" in there to promote Sunday, when most of these references are "supposed...

I've looked into this (about the first day of the week meaning the first of the sabbaths) and I don't think it holds water because of places like this: John 20:1 "The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from...

I'd say the biggest thing is making sure I seek God and feel comfortable BEFORE I even get into another courtship. Actually I'd want my parents to know him pretty well and my dad to have plenty of conversations before anything starts. Another thing that I wish we would've done differently is...

So what is the reason you're not married Mr. John?

I'm sorry to hear that about your dad. That would be really hard to see that happen.
