No. Even thou I do think it is too close, and there are risks of genetic problems, the Bible does not forbid marriage between cousins. It is the closest family relationship that Scripture permits within the marriage laws given. Numbers 36:11: “Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah and Noah, the...

Here in Finland it is legal, but I do not know anyone who has married or even dated a cousin. Personally I think it is too close.

For me, closeness is romantic. It can be holding hands, resting our heads together, long hugs, and so on. Closeness is my love language, and I feel loved when someone wants to be close to me. Nagging, on the other hand, is a romance‑killer.

I actually added an "I am a man and just want to vote"-option to the poll. :LOL: Too bad I removed it before I submitted the poll.

I am curious of what females prefer regarding beard, so I decided to make a poll to get some statistics. :giggle:

I am a man who showers daily. For a date, I would be clean, well-groomed, have my clothes ironed, and wear a big smile. I would aim to dress appropriately for the activity we have planned. I currently maintain a trimmed beard and make sure it is even, though sometimes I wonder if being...

If God has a future wife for me, it will most likely begin as a long-distance relationship. I would never marry an unbeliever, and there is not even one believing single woman close to my age around here. They are all married. I am not joking nor exaggerating. I know a long-distance...

I’m really sorry you had to deal with that. It must have been frustrating and unpleasant to receive PMs like that. I think you do an excellent job creating threads here!

When I first read the title, my immediate question was whether it refers to romantic love or friendship. My second thought was whether that distinction even matters. And yes, in matters. But first, what are we ourselves called to do? Jesus tells us to love even our enemies. It is easy not to...

I am not a native English speaker, but when I read the Bible in English, I usually choose either the NASB or the (N)KJV. Choose a Bible translation that you find easy to read. Some people argue strongly in favor of a particular translation, but the reality is that the truth can be found in any...

It serves to show that the old serpent, the devil, was acting through him. In short, it indicates that he was evil. I needed a word that would rhyme with “this,” and “hiss” fit. People who betray those close to them are also often referred to as “snakes.”

The first one is Achan. The second one is Paul, as @AnOldLady already pointed out.

Correct answer: Joash. God had promised David that the throne would remain with his descendants. When Athaliah seized power, all the royal sons were killed, except for Joash. He was rescued and hidden in the temple. Joash was raised and protected by the priest Jehoiada and his wife, who took...

I tested this with two 18-year-old boys. They solved it very quickly, without using a computer nor a phone. It ultimately comes down to how well you know the Old Testament. I will give one more hint: it is a king found in the Books of Chronicles.

Nope, none of them. When you think about the right person, everything will fit exactly.

No, Mose did not turn into an ungrateful evil person. The hiss is there in the riddle to show who he was following.

Nope. It is a person who lived during OT times and is mentioned in the Bible.

I was spared because of a promise from above And received a lot of care and love. But was I thankful for this? No, I had a serpent’s hiss. My reign began faithfully, But it ended ungratefully.

I do believe in long-distance relationships. Right now, I feel a bit alone, and I would be open to a long-distance friendship. With messaging apps and free calls, it is possible to build a close friendship over long distances. A friendship maintained through calls and messages can sometimes...

I download F-Droid. All the apps there are opensource. From there I install apps like Andbible and NewPipe. From Google Play I install apps like the FMI weather app (for Finland), Whatsapp, Signal, bank apps, robot vacuum app, AI apps. I do have more apps installed, but those were the most...
