    Is it Biblically permissive to beat one's wife?

    i think the explanation to this is all rather simple getting turned on by spanking is within the realm of consensual relations and according to our philosophy would disappear in the presence of truth when some greater revelation is on the table. So the pre-revelation spanking isn't ideal but...

    The new Woke movement

    Woke fragility! Criticize it and they can't handle it lol If something is strong it can be attacked and smashed and it will won't break, it can be beaten and left for dead too on a cross. They might be woke but we have the name above all names

    JESUS DID NOT HAVE LONG HAIR

    i think this sounds like you really get it which means you probably won't be listened to it makes too much sense, after all when Jesus was shown the coin to pay tax with the image on it of the emperor he said give to Caesar what belongs to him and to God what belongs to God. He negated the power...

    Are WOMEN Pastors Biblical??

    i think this discussion highlights a problem with the 'pastor model' itself. all the gifts and authority end up on one person at the front which undermines the using of all these gifts i think. if one looks at the role of wisdom in proverbs, wisdom doesn't preach, wisdom proclaims and issues...

    JESUS DID NOT HAVE LONG HAIR

    there really isn't any difference between using words or using a pen to draw a picture when preacher's conform to the world and say that Christ only wants them to have 'goods things' (like wealth and prosperity) they usually don't use images of Christ handing you a suitcase full of money which...

    Total depravity ? Or ' Singular depravity?

    God also talks about people being righteous, so Calvinism must somehow have an answer to that Jesus said "You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good?" (Matt 12) But he was talking to the Pharisees who had just accused him of being possessed and sinned against Him and the...

    love songs. Human reciprocal adoration?

    Amen to that ! these are the best loves songs, from the 1st Christian song book the Odes "He has caused to dwell in me His immortal life, and permitted me to proclaim the fruit of His peace " "And His circumcising became my salvation, and I ran in the Way, in His peace, in the way of truth "...

    Taking a verse beyond what it says .

    I think it means - when the world see's the Christians are righteous and filled with Spirit they will realise their own sin and they will repent. Check out this quote from the church fathers: Hope this is "good news"

    Taking a verse beyond what it says .

    well ok, it doesn't really say it but if the world did believe there'd be no sin to reprove. i recon it's not quite right to think of 'the world's sin' meaning all people it's more like personifying 'the world' and giving it a sin or reason for it's sin of unbelief... so the believers are...

    Taking a verse beyond what it says .

    Instead of unbelief being the sin being reproved I think it means the cause of all sin is unbelief in Jesus

    Are WOMEN Pastors Biblical??

    Choir, but they can pray and prophecy in church, that's almost preaching. i mean prophetically speaking about a word of scripture is kind of like preaching. it reminds me of the time I complained about the preacher Joyce Mayer to a female Christian, my complaint was that she drones on and on...

    love songs. Human reciprocal adoration?

    i think i get what your saying over time more and more of the pieces of things i was looking for in a human relationship have been replaced by Jesus. especially after actually being in some relationships that process accelerated even faster, it's not funny. (actually it's not funny but i do...

    meaning of MAKE EVERY EFFORT (or strive) to enter in through the narrow gate.

    2nd T, once the laws are become of no effect the new reality is it's between you and the enemy, he wanting the believer to take the wrong action in grace. Us discerning what grace is comfortable with in the relationship! What i'm saying is discernment and awareness of the enemy is essential to...

    Jesus Is Our Truth, Reward, And Faithfulness So We Can Lie, Steal, and Fornicate?

    how come Jesus used the symbol of someone persistently knocking on a door to be allowed in, and he praises the persistence? That's Luke 11:8 it's almost as if He anticipated this debate "Persistence" isn't a work, nor is it faith? It's just trying to get in I don't see the difference between...

    Why did the Most High God create sin?

    It may be that God, as perfect and without knowing evil, originally shared much power, and complete free will. Thus the enemy in falling away is powerful as a result of God's goodness not by design. One can then attribute the origin of evil to good
