@LeeLoving : Isaiah 53 is a good passage, especially verse 5. I know it's in the O.T. but was referenced in the N.T. as a prophecy about Jesus' crucifixion.

Hey, welcome to the site! Your username amused me and I wanted to let ya know 😁.

Yeah..... I mean, a lot of Jesus' encounters with ladies stretched the accepted cultural "norm". He told Martha her place was not in the kitchen. He spoke privately with the Samaritan woman about her love life. He commended the woman with the issue of blood for her faith, though touching a...

K.... I mean, I get not wanting a goody-two-shoes kinda gal, but keep in mind that current church culture pretty much demands it of us... I'm sure it's tough on the guys too. I have female friends who are struggling with low self-worth, partly because the guys in their circle would sooner die...

Hi Sir..... yeah the 90% empath thing doesn't surprise me at all. Please don't take this as weird, but I had you pegged as a high-level empath by like the third post I saw after you joined. Dark girls always pick up on gifts like that, I think it's because a lack of empathy is often what pushes...

@SirSolaScriptura, There's likely multiple pieces to this puzzle but you might try looking up "super empath" and see if anything strikes a chord. 🙏

I know ya aren't judging goths.... I'm saying that ya DONT judge them, and that's why they're drawn to you. 😁 @seoulsearch pretty much said what I was thinking better than I did lol, so let me just say that her post is worth reading over a few times. And I think it's very key what she said...

OK all *THAT* I quoted above is part of your answer..... goths are sensitive to being judged and you're not the type to judge them for their appearance or offbeat interests. That's actually pretty rare, especially in the church. Another reason is that most dark/goth girls have been through...

I'm not a goth or into witchcraft (by the grace of God... I know how dangerous that stuff is), but my sense of humor is a bit dark and I've been compared to Wednesday Adams a time or three. 🤦‍♀️ I do have a few observations but I don't know you real well so I would have to speculate a bit...

For whatever its worth... 1 Corinthians tells us not to worry if the meat we are eating might have been sacrificed to idols. Abstain if you know that it was.... otherwise just eat and don't worry about it. Apparently in Corinth around that time, the majority of meat available was indeed killed...

Yet another side note..... I occasionally call a man "Sir". Not simply because he is male, and certainly not because he demands it of me. I reserve it for the rare men who earn my respect through their actions. These men are kind, observant, steadfast, and try to use their masculinity to make...

Well now, since Sarah existed in the Old Testament and most likely didn't speak Greek, we'll have to wait until we get to Heaven to ask her exactly what she meant 😊. But I think it's safe to assume she wasn't referring to him as Lord. The would be reserved for The Almighty 😊. However, if your...

As another side note, Sarah called Abraham "lord", not "Lord". There is a huge difference 😉.

Have you noticed that at least 6 women have replied to the post, and I make the seventh? As a side note, I find observant men who do not call me "masculine" much easier to submit to. 😉

Good illustration of how dangerous it is to determine edibility of a plant without and iron-clad identification! Apples are delicious. May-apples are toxic. Thorn-apples will send you into a 2-week psychotic episode wherein you will be shocked by tales of your outrageous behavior once you...

Yup that's true, African violets are not in the same plant family as true violets. Better substitutes are pansies and violas, which are cousins to the violet and completely edible. 🤓👍 Greenhouse management is a tough job! 😵 I'm happy to provide advice but without being there for a hands-on I.D...

No worries! Plant identification and classification were my main focuses in college. 🤓 Valerian root has medicinal properties and is often taken in small doses to improve sleep. Elderberries are packed with cancer-fighting antioxidants and often taken to boost the immune system. Giant...

Hi miss Mem, just to clarify, (with all due respect to The Homesteading Hippy); Giant Hogweed is not the same plant as Valerian. The flowers are somewhat similar but taxonomically they are not closely related.

Hi Edith, unless I am mistaken the Bible only mentions angels in the masculine form. So I would tend to assume they are all "male" in whatever sense that means. I just didn't want to rule out the possibility of female angels since the Bible doesn't specifically say there aren't any. Jesus...

I do not disagree with you, it's entirely possible the Genesis reference was about the children of Seth and Cain. I do not feel 100% certain either way. It has also been postulated that (if they were indeed spirit beings), the fathers would have been among the fallen angels, which have no...
