Today? I don't think ...*Checks history* yeah nothing today. Yesterday I had inhaled fumes from sanitizer irritate my lungs and cause a cough or two and that reminded me of a previous job I had where the same thing happened. Hmm...so after a bit of searching I found an article where apparently...

How long ago did you go? I've been to that location to attend a DTS graduation and nothing really stuck out to me as "unscriptural" other than one of the songs being one of those controversial songs. I love the giant oak tree they have on the field...so cool. Then again though, I did come...

Well I can't say it's my "favorite" but one that has come up in my life from others? "Let God be God". Kind of rolls along with the verse about the creation not saying to the creator "what doest thou" But the verse doesn't say that you "should" not...it says that it "does not" which to me...

Sounds like you have probably crossed the line into idolatry in some fashion but did you intentionally set it up as an idol? No? Then reflect, spend some time in prayer, read some scripture and make some changes. I'm not saying it's no big deal but if it wasn't on purpose then don't overstress...

There is plenty of room...I'm not sure why you aren't even attempting to see the merits of this being about wisdom when the rest of the chapter is pretty clear. Like I said, I really can't go any further if you can't even attempt to see things from my perspective. I'll wait until someone else...

@Pilgrimshope is this just a collection of verses on baptism or are you suggesting something? I myself find how people can call into question baptisms done according to the end of Matthew because they didn't specifically include Jesus name disconcerting. Like how some people are so burdened...

Mk, your opinion is noted. Consider reading John 1:1-4 (which I am in agreement with as being specifically about Jesus). It is clear that we are not seeing eye to eye on what this passage is "proverbially" speaking about or how wisdom is personified here as an attribute of the Lord creatively...

Idk man, your main post is taking what I see as a personification of wisdom which you think is Jesus specifically. This isn't the best springboard for further discussion on the issue because you don't seem to want that to be up for debate and based off what I'm reading this is a minority view...

Well refer back to my post...I disagree that it is him "specifically" and even if it were "specifically" (like John 1:1-4) it still doesn't follow that he was talking about a pre-adamic man. Maybe the narrative continues until men began to call on the name of the Lord (Gen 4:26)? Though I feel...

Again, this is a proverb about wisdom as far as I can tell not Jesus "per se". I suppose because there is a delight in that wisdom can be understood by humankind unlike any other element of creation? It "can" be hearkened unto. Is it not a delight to be able to be known by a thing? Perhaps...

Uh I have not ever heard this before. Proverbs 8 is talking "proverbially" about wisdom. Here is what I have in the KJV "Then I was by him as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him; Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were...

Well, thinking back... There are a lot of things day to day that are "nothing to write home about". Sexual stuff that's all around you, language, secular culture, materialism, sometimes elitism, just "stuff" that could be at a christian school too but it's much more minimalized and less...

It's also influences though even "if" everything were more or less the status quo of the last 10-20 years. Tons of things to watch out for that a child is reasonably unlikely to mention but probably still affects them. I think it's pretty crazy how much private schools cost but there are other...

What do you mean by deliverance ministry? Something like Sozo? I'd be careful of anything like that...I did it and can give my thoughts if that'd be helpful but guided meditation and general psychology mixed together as a way to find healing/deliverance isn't what I would call deliverance...

Nice ideas. I think along these lines also and since that is so different from "regular church" it leads me to think that maybe some people serve a sort of more difficult to define niche within the body. Like someone that runs a retreat center or hosts a convention for "workshops" that sort of...

Why don't you answer? ;)

I "could" figure out how to be disciplined and regular with laundry but... Presuming ofc that a future wife didn't have the same problem but still doing laundry together and having something else to do in the same room seems like it we could help each other get through it regularly :) or...

Well I appreciate it. I feel even more constricted the more I focus on living according to Romans 13. In order to remain above reproach in the U.S means I have to basically almost "breath" the law. This legalism as well as the categories you have mentioned make it quite difficult to achieve...

Well thanks for the reply...It's given me some further questions to ponder. I'd like to get back to you at some point. Legal discussions are tricky because the enemy certainly operates within the law and since I'm trying to avoid that for myself I may have to pass further discussion. I certainly...
