I would disagree with that. Doing right in their own eyes was the system God established when Israelites entered the land. It’s the he intended them to function.

You won't find answer here. This is aspect of old debate what starts marriage. Sex or something else? There is no definitive conclusion here.

I guess I'm just extremely careful with what I condemn as sinful.

I’m curious now. I don’t have his book. Without violating copyright, do you have a few lines of examples?

We have discussed this at length. The first thing I thought was Jesus on the cross asking the Father to forgive the people for crucifying Him because they didn’t know what they were doing Luke 23:24, which reminded me of the OT in Hosea 4:6...

This is an ideal. In the real world a wife has every authority to enforce a husband's vow by visiting consequences upon the husband who violates it. Paging Lorena Bobbit. ;) Understand that to me authority is not an entitlement, it is the...

You said, God does whatever He wills without asking you (or me) to give consent. The truth of Ephesians 1:13-14 is abundantly clear; the indwelling and sealing work of the Spirit is accomplished by God. If you think you've got big enough balls...

But to whom is the vow made? I have not seen in scripture where a man makes a vow TO the woman. The agreement or covenant that I have seen (Laban, et all.) is between the MEN, similar to a change of ownership ("stewardship" for those who reject...

A bird in hand is worth two in the bush. We’ve seen plenty of lives play out in disaster over the years on this site because men discovered a mature doctrine and pursued it with youthful reckless abandon.

Setterfield destroyed his credibility with his nonsensical c-decay hypothesis that the speed of light is not a constant and instead that C is constantly slowing. Which it is not. It has been repeatedly measured by numerous people across the...

12Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. 13For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

Hmmm... I suspect your description of salvation came the Book of Common Sense because I see there is no Bible reference given. Salvation is a gift from God where He rescues the sinner from His eternal wrath through the substitutionary sacrifice...

If the JW religion promotes childlessness, it's no wonder they have to be so active in their recruiting for new members! Makes me think of the cigarette companies making a product that kills off their customers or condom manufacturers ensuring...

I was always a lover of YHVH, from a super young age (8yo) I remember laying on my back under my dads workshop singing kingdom melodies and praying all by myself. I had 2 older sisters and a super feminist mom. My dad worked a lot, but always...
