I will never know the relief that i provide to a single unemployed mom by buying diapers for her newborn, or the protective cover when i intercede in prayer, or the injuries i prevent by rebuilding a deck for a recent widow.

Yes, the early church required that single women join families rather than depend on the benevolence of the church. Nowadays they are abandoned to a willing Papa Government.

That is one that no one else can know. There is also no specified penalty for it. The irony that connects that to the subject of polygyny is that a man who knows it is lawful to take a second wife, and has the opportunity to, could be sinning if...

Ah the Romans, those never ending fount of schism and confusion. You for to love them, but only because we’re commanded to….

Thanks for the testimony, @Joleneakamama. Looking at the uses of the word abomination throughout Proverbs is quite insightful. During our Bible reading time in Proverbs this morning I highlighted the severity of the condemnation on those engaged...

You and I both brother!!!

I love Gods Word. The entire thing. I am taken by the sheer practicality of the Proverbs and the praise of the Psalms, the dejection of the Lamentations, the warnings of the Prophets, the poetry and desperation of the Songs, the societal...

I am doubtful that you will get a tax write off, but yes! Do donate to this ministry as the Lord lays it on your heart to do so!

Clarkes commentary sheds a little light on this. "...However, there is great difficulty in the text. The whole verse is wanting in the famous Vatican MS., one of the most ancient and most authentic perhaps in the world; and in another one of...

A number of bibles will put various verses as footnotes instead of actual text. I know that the NIV bible has done this for many years, though I don't know how many other bibles do this as well. I would check your footnotes, otherwise get a...

The moment translators move away from trying to do a word-for-word translation, the truth suffers. Those that intentionally go down the dynamic equivalence road are substituting their personal interpretation for what stands written, in reality...

The burden of proof is on the one making the assertion. I am always willing to challenge someone to show me where it says that polygyny is wrong, but when they come back with a verse that does not say so, I glady point i tout to them. The fallacy...

Okay, let’s end this. A number of men think that I am a terrible moderator and a worse person. They are partially right, but you get the moderator you deserve. We had a thoughtful, empathetic moderator and he was so stressed out that he had lead...
