Wow! I thought that Augustine was the originator of the premise of conversion by the sword. Seems like he gets the credit because he consolidated these premises.

This is too funny! We are the outside source! Looking into a foreign (Hebrew) culture and its literature, trying to reconcile it to our own (Roman) perspectives and preferences and cultural norms! Too funny!

The 9mm is a very practical round. The issues with stopping power initially were due to using a NATO spec ball ammunition, basically a copper jacketed bullet that would zip right thru the perp without expansion, resulting in the majority of its energy being expended beyond the intended target...

To your first point, that makes it even more pertinent to my point as a concubine didn’t have as many rights as a ketubahed wife. To your second point, nowhere does it say that she didnt have the authority to leave. In fact, his appeal would indicate that she did have the authority to leave or...

Small clarification. He went there to beg her to come back. Proving that she had the right to leave and return to her fathers house and he had no authority. Obviously her judgement was right the first time and she shouldn’t have given him a second chance

Welcome

IMO the dating sites that are available are as much a crucible to prove your readiness as the people you pass by on a day to day basis. Your decision making, discernment and interaction with potentials and their interaction with your wife will reveal much about your readiness to take the plunge...

MegaDittos.

I’ve said it before, and maybe I’ll say it again. This conversation is like a line of drunk guys pissing in the wind until you understand that in Hebrew culture there was a living death that mattered in this instance just as much as physical death. Obviously I’m not trying to get you to act...

Welcome

I’m not sure yet. I think so

I’d be damned before I left my house over their say so. Just my own .02

And therein lies the rub. The trust factor of every single major Bible translation today is completely dependent on what someone told them was the most accurate text. Check out the original introduction to the King James. Check out the issues Jerome had when attempting to translate the Old...

Oh my! That could so be used to compare modern marriage relationships. Just substitute love for faith, husband for God, and her for the other party that is using love as a long lever.

Do you have one with the eye holes. I’d wear that kind of mask

I’ve heard of a couple recently in South Georgia. Another in Florida. Our little home assembly has mostly accepted it though it is still a work in progress. One family is somewhat against it, though it hasn’t come up in a confrontational manner when they were attending. I know that the topic...

Just dropping a line to say FWIW, I’ve been honored to serve as a mod here the last few years. Ive enjoyed meeting most of you!:eek: And have made some lifetime friends as well. At the moment, I’ve just got too much on my plate and have been severely neglecting my duties here (as is evidenced...

Thank you all for your prayers. We did travel back to Asheville, NC area and are safely back home now in Tulsa. I still have so many to do’s on my plate, business is crazy, family is doing well, homestead projects are getting done slowly but surely. Hopefully soon I’ll be able to spend more...

Wow! Couldn’t have said it better myself. Another big nail in the Masoretic coffin for me. Think about what you just said Ish. When I study the Masoretics, I see all kinds of motive and opportunity, . . . And evidence. If the Masoretics are saying not to say “the name”, thats enough for me...
