I am getting tired of people just making assertions without any arguments. It's why I sometimes just have to step away for a few days or weeks. I strive to engage in good faith with arguments and points... if someone disagrees, that's okay... put poke at my argument/point before trying to make...

Yes, to be fair, I have known many families with similar relationships too. Would you say from your experience, those types of marriages correlate with older, middle-aged, or younger couples?

I've met numerous Christian women who claim to be submissive (married) and claim to be willing to submit to their future husband, but in reality, they will only submit provided they agree with whatever the husband decides. That defeats the whole definition and point of being submissive. I'm...

Dish washers seem like way more work than simply washing a dish after you use it. Food typically comes off a lot easier immediately after using it too. I mean, prerinsing the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher is doing 85% of the cleaning already.... May as well do the last 15% instead...

Firstly, listen to what most people are saying about finding a woman who fears and loves the Lord. Secondly, hitting the gym certainly won't hurt. :unsure:

Fair point. Even drinking too much water could cause hyponatremia which could be deadly. But then this sounds like an argument for "moderation in all things", perhaps including, extracurricular sexual activities? I guess I'm still unconvinced it's morally wrong, but an argument has been made it...

I could be a man or woman too! :D

How do we know definitively that Adam and Eve DIDN'T do other sexual acts? I agree that often times we get things put in our head by society (be it good or bad), but your point has a huge presupposition, doesn't it? So far, I think the most compelling case is that other activities could cause...

I'm not one to shy away from criticizing Trump when he does something worth criticizing, but I think left-leaning people would attack Trump regardless of his position. If Trump "was tough on Putin" and didn't want to negotiate a peace deal with Russia, then he would be called a warmonger. If he...

I read that it was around $350 billion, but not all of it was in the form of arms/financial aid. It took billions to update/fix/repair arms to then send them. So even though they didn't receive $350 billion, the hit to the tax payors was around that figure. I am by no means an expert on the...

This is where I go in circular arguments with myself trying to sort it out. I think it's perfectly reasonable for Zelensky to want security agreements prior to signing a minerals deal especially since the world didn't do anything in 2014 when Russia invaded... however, this would make us all-in...

1.) Did any NATO nation assure Ukraine that Putin would not invade prior to 2014 as Zelensky stated? If they did, what did the NATO nation(s) do to stop the annexation of Crimea and the Donbas region? 2.) Do assurances by a nation's leader expire once the leader is no longer in office or are...

I appreciate your response brother. I agree with most of what you wrote but with a few disagreements. If I grant that it's a "very low percentage of men" that are ready/equipped to be godly husbands, we still see the same "independent" mindset within marriages (inside and outside the church)...

You bring up an interesting stat. While women have many suiters in their youth, it starts to almost balance out for men as they age (especially for widowers). As women hit about middle-age, they don't require nearly as many check marks as they did in their youth and men aren't quite at the...

There are a lot of insightful responses that answered your question, and I'm sure there are some elements of truth in your succinct description. For me personally, I believe feminism has infected the church and is poisoning the mindset that women need to be in a perpetual state of independence...

I can only imagine how the families feel. I pray for their healing, mentally, physicially, spiritually, etc... What's really shocking is how anyone could celebrate the death of these innocent children. I agree with the OP about how we should be "outraged" when children die unnecessarily... I...

I've not done a biblical examination of the term "sodomy" as it hasn't interested me much, however, secularly, it's been defined by our legal system to include oral sex. My knowledge, biblically, has the term isolated to a reference of anal sex. I am unfamiliar (lack of research on my part) if...

Do studies indicate that the cause for oral cancers is due to oral sex with people in general or exclusively oral sex with people who have STDs? If it's due to STDs, then it wouldn't really be any different as many STDs, like HPV for example, can lead to cancer in other areas of the body. Looks...

"Only sodomy is sinful." I'm quite ignorant as I learned as recent as the last 6 months that oral sex is considered "sodomy".

The entailment of the bolded above is that it ISN'T holy for a man and wife to enjoy each other's bodies. There is a school of thought that God blesses physical intimacy which includes oral sex but within the bounds of marriage. If this is true, how then can a blessed act then be unholy? What is...
