Yeah but only the east uses that great old word “anathema”!

Beautiful reasoning. But when golden calf was crafted at Mount Sinai Israel did not abandon their allegiance to Yehowah, they thought golden calf represented Him. They used their reasoning to arrive to the sin they have committed.

A common error used to argue against polygyny is that it "always causes problems, and nothing good ever came about through polygyny." Again, start with what is written; anchor your response to the Word of God, so that those anchored to the...

You might have to clarify what you mean by "rich." Where I spend the majority of my time "rich" means an income of anything more than 1k US a month to live on. Some of the local guys don't even make that and still manage to entertain more than...

Exodus 20:4-6, Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve...

Let's say one is rich hypothetically...other than being the sort of douche who drives around in flashy and impractical super cars and attending events with lots of other 3/4 retarded people with too many dollars and very little sense...how does...

I's not only the Orthodox church that will do it to you. Protestants and Roman Catholic will too 😉

I love how you phrased this!

I have found some want to use the words of Jesus quoting Genesis "For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife and they twain shall be one flesh" as a limiting thing (because wife is singular and twain is two)...

Regarding your reply right before this one, great mini history lesson! it’s interesting because the notion that many believers tend to have is that any polygyny that was occurring was *because of* the pagan influences, but it’s’ the opposite...

Learning about the nuances of Greek and the words being used is very helpful through all this. It was something I was attempting to explain to them, but one of the arguments in that case is, the Bible is meant to be understood as is, to which my...

There's a pretty simple answer to this. When we first start realizing the truth, we generally conisder the patriarchs and some of the kings. It seems like a rare, distant occurance. After studying more, we can clearly see that the vast...
