...in my mind, a woman's "place" should/can be understood as a mandate for them to be women. Feminine. Women were created to be a "Help Meet". Should the need arise requiring additional income then what is the alternative? Genesis 2:18 - And the LORD God said, [It is] not good that the man...

Those taken captive are done so at the will of God, not the devil. Those released from this captivity are done so at the will of God, not their own. kyredneck, that's how I see it. Those who become born again into the Family of God as He intended and then begin to add to..., with additional...

I see it as describing unsaved persons who by opposing the truth, oppose themselves. I suppose to the bigger extent, Iconoclast. I am also sure there are many applications that can be made here, especially that so many often get hung up in Religion..., Religious/Doctrinal...church practices...

It's amazing to me the various arguments regarding the Scriptures. 2nd Timothy 2 comes to mind. 24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them...

Yes, they are "most important". Just consider the 22nd Division of Psalms. Details of the Cross are specifically discussed.

A couple of years ago I was speaking with a "part-time practicing" Jew and I asked him "when & why" they stopped the practice of animal sacrifice. His response was he didn't know. At the same time he confessed that he felt Jesus was the Messiah but still considered the old teachings somewhat...

When did the Jewish practice of animal sacrifice cease?

Barabbas is referenced by Matthew as a "notorious prisoner". A riotous person by Mark and Luke. He was a "bandit". A robber. Anti-Rome. A revolutionary. Barabbas had been arrested by Rome and sentence was passed perhaps that he would die like so many others..., by crucifixion. We know...

It sho'-nuff is worth showing to the membership, brother. We don't have a clue what those folks went through during WW II and/or Korea. Vietnam was bad enough but at least it was the tropics so to speak. I was in Korea in 1968 an almost froze to death. I don't know how the troops survived...

...any insights? Yep, let her do it. She does need some type of "go-by" however but otherwise, the children are to important to be left to their own devices.

Officially..., no. Excommunication is usually left up to the family clique to run 'em off. In most Baptist Churches this works extremely well.

JonC, I am under the impression that no matter how down in the gutter one finds themselves they can be redeemed if they come to Jesus. As I understand this "gave them over to..." is exactly that. He gave them over to a "reprobate mind". Just as those will suffer with that coming "strong...

I don't understand the given up part. Romans 1:28 "And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;" JonC, it wouldn't be proper English to say..., "God (given) them over to a...." I...

Does the alcoholic continue to have desires to drink alcohol? Can the homosexual stop the habit of sleeping with the same gender? Yes to both. annsni, the difference being is the Bible doesn't speak of an alcoholic being "given up on". Yes, they can quit their lustful ways but are they still...

I certainly have no problem with being civil toward homosexuals but what do we do with Romans 1:28? "...God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;" What do we do with the God gave them over part? Can they come back? One can overcome alcohol by...

If we were to see heaven as we are now I think we'd just lose it all. Surprise? I don't know. Would you consider being so overwhelmed we'll be awe-struck..., and remain that way for eternity?

When I have a prayer request I petition the Lord and then leave it there. I'm not into this idea of "begging" as sometimes we might get exactly what we ask for.

It has been said that a picture is worth a thousand words. So it is with our Christian walk. Is our walk worth a thousand words? My pastor told of an experience early in his ministry wherein he ran upon a man "down town" who was obviously under the influence of alcohol. The man stopped...

All the veterans are "special" when you get right down to it. I do think God for my father who spent 20 years in the Marine Corps and survived WW II and Korea. My time came along during the Vietnam Era. === A U.S. Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that included Admirals from the...

The 20th Division of Psalms is often considered to be associated with the defense of a Nation. 1.The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee; 2. Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion; 3. Remember all thy offerings...
