Choice implies being at liberty to pick from a range of options. Adam had no choice to make. God didn't choose from a range of women, He just made the first one and that was that. It could have been any woman before sin entered the equation. Eve, once she sinned was only as unworthy as any...

As a female, no... I personally didn't have that blessing :D Arranged marriages certainly exist, but they have nothing to do with God creating a wife for Adam from his rib, a one off circumstance that man had no hand in arranging. That is the point in question that I was commenting on, not the...

To be very clear about this, the first verse you quoted here, is what describes the method Adam was provided with a wife. And the act of choice does not come into the equation by any party. Despite this, testing your understanding with the rest of scripture, to see if that is the way anyone...

That is a great testimony to self restraint. I am glad you never fell by the wayside or led others into sexual sin. Not sure I would really want a husband that had a history of kissing lots of women - but that is besides the point. Some people naturally have more self control than others, but...

Hi, not a teen but just wanted to say, in case you were not aware, that kissing transfers testosterone from the male to the female, so the males body is telling her body sex is on the cards. Wether you know it or not consciously, your body is designed to look for these alerts as a spouse, and...

ah sorry, really should have been a bit more clear. Praying is simply talking to God. All you have to remember isa though you can tell Him everything, and nothing is too small to talk to Him about, God is still Holy, and far above us in every way. He doesn't want any falseness, special way of...

You will have heaps of advice here! Best place to start is outright just daily asking God to help you with what you are seeking, and He sure will. Then all any of us can advise is put your faith in Jesus, by believing God sent Him to die on the cross for the sins of everyone, including yours...

Hello and a warm Welcome to you Pete. Hope you find a lot of good fellowship here :) Looking forward to having your input on the forum .

I was hoping someone could help me. I know this is a long shot, but I found a book that was self-published, (www.lulu.com)in a second hand shop. (No IBSN etc.) It was called Women in the Heart of God and was by William McNicol. He was in Glasgow Bible College and wrote an essay, which he then...

I remember hearing the gospel and rolling my eyes. I remember Lauging at street preachers. I thought street preachers were just madmen. I thought televangelists were all robbers. I thought tracts were useless trash. I remember being given tracts and reading half and throwing it in the bin. I...

Hi, its a horrible situation to be in, i really feel for you. I believe 2 things are important to remember in this situation. 1. As a parent you are to bring your children up in the way they should go. Modern society says your kids should be free tondo what they want as soon as they are...

I don't think many people"want to be a punching bag", anymore than Jesus wanted to go to the cross.

This is very true. Other such examples that seem pretty unpopular today are... If anyone hits you on the cheek, offer the other also. if anyone takes away your coat, don’t hold back your shirt either. if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. It seems the UK at least, that...

Thanks for your response.

Thank you for the time and effort you took to explain this, and to include all the verses etc to make it easier for us to check the references. I really appreciate it. :) You have given us a lot of food for thought. There do seem a lot more clear scriptures, that say on face value, without...

Thank you Becky, lots of food for thought. It depends as to where a person lives, as to what is permissible by law. There are sadly still many places were women have no rights at all, but are seen as possessions owned by men, who "buy" them from their parents. In many places, there are some...

I haven't come across that in the OT laws, but that would be a very relative thing to study, it would be helpful to have the reference please. And thanks for reminding me about your comment, which I went back and re-read, and also for clarifying why you gave the verse you alluded to in it (y).

Okay well thanks for clarifying.

Me, and others like me…. Not sure what that phrase meant, or why it was necessary. I already took the time to ponder what you said, and also to share my findings. It would be nice if you just shared what you expexted “me and otherss like me” to learn from pomdering your question, and how that...

Hi, I felt it would be rude not to answer, but do feel its a bit unfair... I mean you are asking me to go down a road that may be entirely pointless, if it isn't what you were getting at. But I will humor you this time. :) Are you are perhaps thinking that because... men could legally have...
