Well if you do not feel you will burn with lust, I think you are free to do as you like. Which I feel is OK anyway. I think he is just saying, he feels it best to stay single, but if you feel you need a spouse and would be unhappy if you don't have one. Go ahead and find someone you feel...
I feel it is both, some is literal some allegory ( the parables for sure). But, no matter whether literal or allegory, I think a large amount of it is misunderstood.
I think the New Testament supports single persons, as much as it supports married people. If you go up one verse and read verse 8 along with verse 9, it seems to me he prefers you to be single. Only if you are going to burn with lust does he feel you should be married.
"But I say to the...
Wow! 223,926 posts, you know if you just wrote just 4 words per post, that would be 895,704 words. There are only 700,000 to 800,000 in the whole bible (KJV). You must have a lot to say, or are planning a new following.
I feel we all do, even those who answered that they don't. They are answering to the last part, 'being'. But the question is 'higher power/being'. I think most everyone would agree that the laws of the universe are a higher power than Mankind. We have to live by those laws, and if we find a way...
My exact thought. The picture is from one point in time, and gives no back story. Only one picture making the one person on the left as the bad guy. At least he shoveled his snow, the one on the right so far has done nothing. We need more information to say anything about this.
According to scientists speculation, we do not have much time left. 90 seconds to midnight!
The Doomsday Clock Has Moved: How Close Are We to Armageddon in 2023?
In a more scientific prediction that only predicts one end of earth event, we have a bit more time. In the Expansion of the Sun, we...
Yes it was pretty hard keeping all the rules straight. You had Federal, State, County, and City Rules; sometimes organizations would have rules you would need to follow also. Then you had the problem that sometimes the rules contradicted others.
But, I am getting off topic on that last part It...
Sorry, I didn't mean to be a tease. Does that mean I am young and pretty? I just don't know where to start.
The reason I did quit using them was during covid, so I guess I will go with that. During Covid Hand Sanitizer was very hard to get. Amazon had it at a very inflated price, (I am OK with...
I only have one child, a daughter. As such being her Dad makes me very proud. Not only did she graduate #1 and Valedictorian in her class with Honors. She played Boys tackle football since 2nd grade. Probably because I liked football and she wanted to make me happy.
When she was in High School...
See you get the Zero paradox too.
If 0 is zero, and zero is nothing; how can it be nothing, it has a name and a symbol. How can something with a name be nothing.
See if I write 0 0 or 1 2. They are something, the blank space in between is nothing. 1 space 2 would confuse people, they would...
Very good, but the guy waiting to take a step still needed to wait until Calculus was developed for the mathematician to tell him he could take the step because he can calculate it now.
Or the guy waiting to take a step, could take his step and another and another until he gets to where he...
Saw your post on being made an Admin on a Math Server. Congratulations, that is a very great achievement.:) I always liked math, it is so logical and elegant. So always glad to see someone into math and doing something with it. Just making me a bit envious.:(
But this is where math can get in...
