You stretch that to an unrealistic degree, given all the passages I've cited. There are numerous situations where Jesus having a wife would have been forced out of the silent background, if he had one, most notably at his crucifixion, burial, resurrection, the group praying in Acts 1, and 1...
I agree with you that infant baptism is entirely invalid. What I was saying is that the proponents of infant baptism use only 'in between the lines conjecture' to support their idea that infant baptism occurred in the New Testament Church. It is the same level of evidence that I've seen used to...
Ok. To me it's just like the equally absent infant baptism in scriptures. It exists only in the minds of men as conjecture, without evidence that it actually occurred. To me there would be no need to look for evidence that he wasn't, until someone showed me evidence that he was (evidence not...
So either this theoretical wife travelled with Jesus and the apostles and went through all that He went throu gh without so much as a blip on the radar. Or He left her home and treated her as though they weren't married, which would make Jesus a terrible person, and would have been called out...
I will not deny traumatic experiences you may have had. I understand you being angry. But there are also plenty of teachers and I would guess Bible Colleges that do not wish to control how one thinks. My cousin went to seminary and he told me that one actually helped him to break some...
I agree that we don't bear Adam's sin. There are as much scriptural references for this as there are that Jesus was married.
I'm sorry to hear you had those violations. I feel comfortable enough not deferring to any leaders in my conversations on this thread.
They brought up Peter's wife.
Matthew 8:14-15 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever. [15] And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.
I'm sure she lived in the same culture. You're saying that...
Big time!
in Jesus's case, if he was a nazar, there would be no need for him to end this temporary state, knowing that he was going to be the sacrifice for our sins.
Ms. Brown, after studying the Bible for the last 35 years or so, and a lot of church history in there, I do feel a fair amount of confidence in the things I say. But I don't know what specifically you are objecting to. Perhaps if you could tell me.
