Take another look at the 1 Timothy passage again. Paul isn't condemning science, but what is falsely called science. True science can't contradict the faith because God ordered the universe. True science merely studies that order.
I personally live by the belief that we cannot know what is in someone's heart, therefore, we cannot judge their soul. However, actions, in and of themselves, can be judged as right or wrong, good or bad, separately from the motivations of the person committing them.
Two things to take into consideration here (highlighting not just an understanding of translation, but of sociological issues involved).
In the times of the OT (and probably still today) among the Jews, adopted children were seen as equally a part of lineage as biological children.

Hello and blessings,
I am concerned about the reasoning behind the closing of a thread I started regarding the possibility of Mary being able to intercede for us. Nowhere in my post did I refer to or quote RCC doctrine. I even went so far as to quote scripture from a Bible translation that...

Fisscher,
I felt that same desperation for girlfriend/future wife when I was your age. I let that feeling drive me toward pursuing what I wanted and lose sight of what God wanted for me. I ended up getting married for all the wrong reasons to someone who also got married for all the wrong...

It does sound like he hasn't actually healed from his first marriage if he's pushing the relationship that fast right off the bat. You're right to break it off because his mindset, at this point, isn't where it would need to be for a healthy relationship let alone a marriage. As for...
I wouldn't let this part necessarily be a red flag. Having been through divorce, I've seen the system up close and personal. The mother automatically has preference for custody and the only time a father gets custody is if the mother willingly allows it or is deemed unfit (which is extremely...
