I read it, but I am not certain I would agree. Respectfully Adelphos

Years ago, when I was a Pre-tribulational, Pre-Millennialist, I loved all the Science Fiction. "When I was a child..." lol

I think we are all guilty of hijacking threads from time to time...lol Your Welcome Adelphos

It seems to me if one merely uses the simple hermeneutical principle "Scripture interprets Scripture," that this truth rises to the top of all other views. However, the key to me is objectivity. Respectfully Adelphos

Getting back to the topic, mystery Babylon is Old Jerusalem. Respectfully Adelphos

Well, there are a many examples. I will give you one. The wife commited adultery against her husband. The husband, who was the innocent party, desired to have physical custody. The court chose the guilty party, thus, blessing her adultery (or, in reality, ignoring it). Even if the death penalty...

Well, unfortunately, the government laws in US are more than laws regarding property settlements, they meddle with a family contrary to God's very Word. For example, if one partner commits adultery, the innocent party may be punished. This, BTW, goes against Scripture that encourages to love...

Hi, Yes, it probably is unfair. However, I am talking about my experience, not necessarily what is exactly correct. I have been on many forums, and yes, it has absolutely been my experience that the most negative against other belief systems have been the Calvinists. If one were to do a study...

Double pre-destination is not hyper-calvinism. It is centric calvinism. In other words, Calvin taught it clearly and distinctly. Therefore, if one claims to follow the teachings of Calvin, by necessity, they believe in what he presents. If, on the other hand, one says I believe some things...

How far will the Calvinists go? Accusing Jesus of teaching double pre-destination. It is interesting, over the years, when I have had any kind of dialog with Calvinists, they always come to this position: "unbelievers fail to believe because they are not of God" as an accusation towards those...

This would be most admirable, for the doctrine of double pre-destination did not come from the Spirit of God!

No! A careful reading would not agree. For example, the only one in history that ever taught double pre-destination before Calvin was, exactly, NO ONE! Respectfully Adelphos

Hold on... I suggest that the Calvinists have redefined predestination to fit their philosophical position - which no believer ever held until Calvin defined it. Respectfully Adelphos

Define your understanding of the "Spirit of the Law" so I can unpack your question please. thanks Adelphos

Adelphos: This is terrible theology on many levels. Are you sure you want to teach this as Scripture truth!? Handy: And how is this "terrible theology"? The Old Testament is filled with examples of people doing things that are sinful. This doesn't mean that God sanctions or condones...

If one desires to get married to one who cannot bear a child, is it allowed? Can it be for pure love? Can one love more than one woman? What is a spiritual man? Can a spiritual man love more than one woman? Does loving more than one woman take away His love for Christ? I am assuming you...

Scripturally, one can center it on being fruitful and multiplying; love; desiring more sex (God forbid - Read 1 Cor. 7); enjoying larger families; caring for larger families; greater companship; taking care of the fatherless; etc... However, the main reason should be centered in God receiving...

The next few passages seem on the surface like they don't apply, but read the comments afterwards. Commenting on the same passages: Summary from book "Man and Woman in Biblical Law, Resurrecting the Biblical Family, Part one," pp 49-50, by Tom Shiplely 1. Genesis 1-2 institutes...

Some do want many children - monogamists and polygynists. I would venture to say that polygynists would be more "fruitful and multiplying" minded than those who are monogamous. Respectfully Adelphos

Too funny. I will have to go back and read what I wrote again. Yes, a person may just want another wife, which would be perfectly acceptable, noble and loving. Respectfully Adelphos
