I'm not really a mom. "Snackers" was a college art project. The challenge was to make something out of clay that conveyed personality. Somehow he came out with a sassy smirk that tells you he's clearly up to something, so I joked that he was my first child. I joined CC in my 20's, when the chat...

Alright. I definitely support ALL of God's intentions for His awesome invention called marriage, and I think I will leave it at that. 🤝

If you do not like my use of the word "purely", then "exclusively" works just as well. I was not implying that children are not a blessing. I love kids and devote a lot of time and resources to serving them in ministry. I WAS implying that God values the marriage covenant in and of itself, and...

Correction: I meant 1 Corinthians 6:16 not 6:17.

I kinda think that is the heart of the matter... Christians won't talk about those things, so people are stuck getting their info from worldly sources. I can't say too much because I probably wouldn't be super open about it either if I was married... I guess it would depend on what my hubby...

I don't think Paul was defending the sanctity of marriage purely to protect the children that could be produced from it; marriage alone is a holy union to be protected regardless of the possibility of offspring. But I do see your point, if the phrase "one flesh" pertained only to marriage vows...

You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but Ephesians 5:28 and 5:29 seems to indicate it has nothing to do with children.... but moreso that a husband and wife are to care for and respect each other's bodies as if they were their own flesh. So I would assume that a Christian marriage without...

So if they marry and find they are unable to have children, Ephesians 5:31 does not apply? 🤔

That's very kind of you, but we are all gifted differently and we certainly don't need 2 Snackers kicking around this pea patch! 😆. I admire your ability to say so much yet remain interesting and relevant, that is not a gift I have but it's a powerful one! Also, you are much more insightful...

Well on the bright side, @SirSolaScriptura is getting a great real-time illustration of why a sinner would be more comfortable talking about spiritual things to him rather than a random "righteous" church person! 😉

I seems very clear to me what is happening, and that is why I was kinda horrified when you allowed her to post on your account. You deserve your own voice and your own identity, but at this point regaining them will take some time and effort. 😕 Wrapping your hair, not dating, and only watching...

Hey, ran across an old post of yours and I remember you from back in the day. I see you haven't logged in lately but wanted to say hi in case you do! 😁

Alright. To be clear, I wasn't saying that your mom should not be posting, that is between her and God (though I do disagree with most of her assumptions about @Subhumanoidal ). However, allowing her to post on your account is confusing to other members, and (in my opinion) detrimental to your...

@Daisy2 your mom should probably get her own account if she intends to keep posting like this.

Lol I'd like to think so.... especially considering that I contacted the girl as well, warned she might have a bizarre message incoming and put in a few good words for the guy. Because I am WAY too good of a friend 🙄🤦‍♀️😂.

I always liked "I lost my number, can I borrow yours?" Cheesy, yes... but still cute. 😊

Ice- breakers usually work best when you know the person well enough to tailor it to them specifically. But a good generic one (by my estimation) is: "I see something special in you, and if its OK I would like to get to know you better" However, when I suggested the above line to a guyfriend...

I usually stay out of these discussions because I have never been married, so my "working knowledge" is somewhat limited. However..... I have been around the pea patch long enough to know that the husband's rendering of non-sexual "due benevolence" is CRUCIAL to the wife's desire to please him...

@SirSolaScriptura I agree with @Daisy2 that it would be good to poke into why you're drawn to these characters, it might help you learn more about yourself. Perhaps Gandalf reminds you of an authority figure who appeared "good" but did not always treat people right (of course we like our movie...

God was angry with Saul because He told him to destroy EVERYTHING, and Saul disobeyed. We cannot say that we are doing something unto The Lord if He specifically told us not to do it. 1 Samuel 15:22 ......obedience is better than sacrifice.
