Most, 90% of people do not read the Bible, so have no idea about the "rules". Having studied the Bible for a very long time, I do not see it as punitive, at least in the OT and the four Gospels. In my opinion, Acts and the rest of the NT goes astray. I think that is where most of the...

Matt 5:32 is rather stern concerning divorce. I was married 38 years, and have no plans to marry again. Not judging anyone, this is just my preference.

Thank you.

Thank you

Sitting here near midnight my Divorce still hurts me so much at times. Is my continued life punishment for failing? Mark 10:8-9 I feel without excuse.

Probably just a Denominational difference thing. I see Jesus as the intermediary between us and God, with the Holy Spirit carrying the message.

Oh, but in our human ignorance it can feel like all is lost. I won't go into the full litany that bring me to that conclusion, and that took me more than a decade and a half. These days I feel that loss and suffering often carry a lesson though it may not be evident for a long time. There are...

Inshallah, God will lead me and all who will love and obey to a way that is pleasing to him.

I was divorced after 38 years. I didn't want it. According to Jesus' words, there is no divorce and I do not plan to marry again. It was painful and awful and still is. We must move on.

In my area in NW Oregon, USA, we've seen heat and drought not seen in my almost 70 years in the area. Wildfires are producing hazardous breathing conditions all over the West. My prayers to those who are suffering. Are we experiencing the approach of the End of Days?

Yes.

I won't be put in your little box!

I remember a Saudi friend of mine sharing "No Woman No Drive" (YouTube) years ago, before Women were allowed to drive there. He was a dear friend of mine. If I were 40 years younger, I would have married him. Blessings to him, where ever he is.

You have a point there. Almost all my contact with others is online due to avoiding Covid.

I've talked to Pastors and Priests about their experiences in Seminary. It was disillusioning.

I was instructed for years and especially after 9/11 it all began to fall apart. 25 years as a Christian and then it all began to fall apart. If you continue your present conduct, there is "Ignore".

I just rely on scripture. "This is my Son in whom I am well pleased". The meaning is clear.

I prefer the KJV, not because it is the best, but because I have used it so long that I am familiar with many of the errors in it.

I do not see the three as ONE. Matt 3:7 This is my Son in whom I am well pleased. For me, this clearly shows that they are two. The Holy Spirit is poorly defined, a point of confusion for me. 1 John 5:7 These three are one, for me simply shows that they agree on all things. That is the way I...

If it were not for Jesus the Christ, I would be Muslim. They believe in Jesus but just not the Son of God. I love the modesty, the way of praying but sadly most Muslims rely on Mullahs or Imams to council them, just like most Christians rely on a Pastor. I believe in Jesus the Christ as the Son...
