Why is my older sister so mean to me as if I was her enemy?

There were Male Shrine Prostitutes in the OT book of Kings, that practice was old in Paul’s time. Many dismiss the idea based what seem to be personal or sociological reasons, not archaeological ones.

Christ bringing up Genesis is not Him being exclusionary, it is Him reminding these lecherous men that their wives are bound to their hearts.

I told my 13-year-old daughter that she should never start a fight, but has my permission to end it. She got suspended for ending a fight that some other girl picked with her by hitting her then retreating. How do I handle the school’s response?

What? It’s okay for David to be both a man after God’s own heart and a Bloody Bipolar Adulterer who even desecrated what was holy, as long as he wasn’t Bisexual, right? Lol

The truth is, the Old Testament and New Testaments say next to nothing and sexual orientation is a relatively new concept.

If anything, Paul was writing about male prostitutes, not LGBT.

Christ bore that, so, hard pass, thanks.

(What do you think he would write a line or two about?)

Today we have Divorce courts, protections, child custody, child and spousal support.

I am not a Jewish man. I’m am not under any part of the Law for my righteousness. To place myself under the Law for my righteous standing with God would be to put myself under the curse of the Law listed in Dt 28.

No. Rape is violence, not sex. The story is about kidnapping into slavery and the abuse of strangers.

Why do some people prefer watching movies than reading novels even if they are both based on the same source material (book)?
