I did not miss it. I only wanted to point out the aspect of the story that stuck out to me at the moment. Yeah I know all about Ebola, and there has been some speculation that the Black Death was in fact the Ebola virus.

Biblical Families is not a dating website. It is a forum to discuss issues relating to marriage and the Bible, and to offer guidance and support, not to find a wife. Click here for more information.
Yeah you should have never said to stop reading the Bible though!
Once again you contradict what is written by your logic. It is written in Psalms 119:9, How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word. In verse 11, Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You.
In Psalms 138:2, ...For You have magnified Your word above all Your name.
The Berean saints searched the Scriptures daily (Acts 17:11) to determine the accuracy of the teaching of Paul and Silas.
The claim that experience trumps the written Word is the hallmark of every cult leader. You are digging yourself into a deeper and deeper hole. Quit digging and throw the shovel out while you still can.
You would dismiss Paul’s admonition?
Again, arrogance comes to mind.
No.
You misunderstand/misrepresent, seemingly willfully, salvation.
When you stand in the last judgment, He will tell you: “That’s not what I said!”
You need to study His Word more, you are way out of balance with your focus on relationship over Scripture.
I agree that most are out of balance with all of their focus on Scripture, but you have crossed the road and gotten in the opposite ditch.
The Black Death was later known as bubonic plague when the bacteria Yersinia pestis was carried by fleas. It was also known as pneumonic plague in its airborne state which was spread by people who were coughing in close proximity to others.
The worst form of Ebola is caused by the Bundibugyo virus, which is an orthoebolavirus.
Ebola symptoms are distinguished from plague because Ebola presents with catastrophic hemorrhaging (bleeding) whereas plague does not include the symptom of hemorrhaging.
Plague (Yersinia pestis) has been firmly established as the cause of the Black Death through forensic analysis of the graves of plague victims.
First evidence that medieval plague victims were buried individually with 'considerable care'
DNA analysis has revealed the presence of 'Yersinia Pestis' - the pathogen that causes plague - in skeletal remains from individual burials in medieval Cambridgeshire, confirming for the first time that not all plague victims were buried in mass graves. Compassion and care were shown to victims...

One of the cautions of exploring these graves is the risk of encountering live bacteria.

Gaston would have been a man's man, if he had just moved on from Belle and taken on the harem of the three lovely ladies that were fawning all over him!
Are you missing common sense?
This is precisely what I have written you read Bible too much. You run to Bible, instead of thinking.
From whom is best to learn theology? Bible or Jesus?
I consider it moronic to read about Lord when I can learn directly from Lord. Are you like Catholics who pray to saints, instead of directly to Lord.
Same stupid logic. Lord directly isn't enough, so I need some else to help.
There is no arrogance if I really on what Lord has promised. Yea, what is word usually used to describe that:
FAITH.
Spanking awaits you:
1 Titus 2:4
Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
John 12:30-32
Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.
Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
1 Timothy 4:10
For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.
Last two include what Lord will do. This is directly promise of salvation of all, including Hitler too. All means all, no exception possible.
Rev 20:15 my friend! Although God does desire all men to come to Him, they each must do so of their own accord!
Who will will in competition between stubborn Lord who want to save all and stubborn man who doesn't care? Timeline is eternity?
Somehow I don't believe man would win.
Your claim to have direct revelation from God is consistent with those who lead and/or belong to cults. Here, you are clearly rejecting Scripture in favour of your logic and reasoning and calling those who uphold the authority of Scripture "moronic." This ministry is called Biblical Families for a reason, and it isn't because we accept your personal religious experience above the authority of the Bible.
My friend, the Bible is where you build a foundation of understanding that helps you parse information in the world and in the Bible itself.
Reading about the Lord is a step towards understanding His actions in your life. It is the difference between understanding mercy and blessing as opposed to attributing the daily events of life to luck and random chance.
Starting with a Biblical understanding informs you as a person when encountering the bullshit the world feeds us on a daily basis.
Like this nonsense about trans-men and trans-women.
People of the world indulge in these expressions of mental illness and demonic possession while People of The Book know these lies for what they are.
"Lord directly isn't enough"
Some day I hope your journey in seeking truth leads you to realize that the Lord is indeed, enough.
Desiring to do something, isn't necessarily the same as actually doing it! That is where your logic completely fails!
If Lord Himself decides to do some teaching in local school, I assume you would rather stay home with your Bible? Bible is better than Lord, is neccesary implication of your post.
This is what I call moronic. Staying home with Bible instead of doing some activity with Lord.
What is so hard mentally to accept obviousness of truth of paragraf before? There is nothing unbiblical there.
You literally invented my claim of direct revelation.
You have totally lost it too.My friend, the Bible is where you build a foundation of understanding that helps you parse information in the world and in the Bible itself.

I didn't denied authority of Bible. I deny authority of Bible above Lord.
Why don't you get it?
Better learn directly from Lord as Mary than ever reading Bible. Who is author of Bible? Lord. So what can Bible contain/inform me than Lord can't.
Besides Lord doesn't suffer from lying translator.
I thought people here are Christians, not Biblicians. It's Christ who defines and is center of faith, not Bible.
You won't need Bible in New Jerusalem. Any theological issues can be solved just like in when Jesus was here on Earth. Just ask Him.
So Lord's plans will fail?
Let me ask you one simple question?
How can plan of being who can do anything fail? If he can do anything, he can achieve any plan, therefore no plan of his can fail.
Oh, look at Isaiah 55:11
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
So all that Lord needs to do is to send word and it's done.
Husband and I were reading last night, as is our new custom, and came across another thing we had never been exposed. This seems to be the norm these days! It certainly appears to be the days of “revelation.”
It is quite possible that 1-2 Timothy and Titus were not written by Paul. We read through many of the thoughts out there by scholars. It was quite intriguing.
In our family we focus most on Torah, the prophets, and the writings, and the words of Jesus, and of course our relationship with God via Holy Spirit. Translations are often influenced by the translators. We keep discovering how often they have picked words that better match the times in which they lived while translating. This of course has led people astray by tradition of man and doctrines of demons. It has sure done a number on us.
As a result, we have become more devout in our studies to search out original words, author’s intent for meaning, and historical context and customs of the day. It has certainly helped us to reach better understanding than we once did.
Lately we have been reading several books about polygyny. We want to make sure we understand accurately what the Bible says about it in original language. We have been looking at lexicons, dictionaries, historical references, and strongs to search these matters out. It is crazy how much distortion there is in translation! Knowing what words actually meant when the author used them matters a lot.
What we appreciate is how once we know the actual definition of the word the Holy Spirit seems to sweep in and connect dots and reveal patterns that just mere moments prior we could not see! It’s fun and amazing as it seems daily we are being more set free by truth!
