Fair point. A wife is a woman who you sleep with on the understanding that she is committed to you for an indefinite period of time (even if you think divorce is permissible, that's not the plan, your understanding is that the two of you are a...

This is one of the values of good hymns too - they are memorable, so if they contain good theology you remember that. Which is also the danger of Christian music with bad theology...

I just listen to the narrator talking in such an emotive tone, clicking at a few random points, and it's the exact same voice and tone used in countless distorted or completely fabricated by AI "look how this lost kitten saved a family from...

Idk. It seems to me that liturgy was more a form of religion that we were released from. Then later, as the forms of worship that embraced the Spirit wore off, liturgy became the new normal. Because liturgy is easier than walking the Walk...

The proverbs introduce the strange woman in chapter 2. Pro 2:16 To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words; It then picks it back up in chapter 5 and then delves deeper into the topic of...

So your objection is emotional, about appearances, but with no actual scripture you can point to that shows it's wrong. Your objection is on the same footing as an objection to polygamy, "it's not what a Christian should be advocating, it can be...
