Address the issue.

I didn't "loose my patience". LOL I was poking fun at how quiet it got. Where'd y'all go?

Re: Polygamy in the Bible
 

You're dodging the points presented.

Now I invite you to answer the questions presented in post #495.

Re: Polygamy in the Bible
 

So “Old West” society is a model for biblical Christianity? So are you going to next claim that Rooster Cogburn was a good saintly example?

Please, tell me, do you know the difference between SPANKING and STONING? The former is intended to CORRECT. The latter is intended to KILL.

So, from your statement I guess you believe that killing a rebellious kid is NOT a sin, right??


I did not ask WHY God gave this Law; I asked if it should still be obeyed, and if so, is it a sin.

Now let’s see you answer the REAL question in CONTEXT with the same reasoning you have that’s pro-polygamy….

What’s with you and the “old west"? Are you the president of a Louis L'Amour fan club or something?

The old west is considered as the “wild west.” How is that connotation applicable with biblical Christianity?

Brother, these arguments are silly! AGAIN, we’re talking BIBLE. WHERE DOES IT SAY IT IN THE BIBLE?

So there is “NOTHING WRONG” with stoning rebellious kids to death or with killing your family or close friends if they speak against Truth?

Are you for real about this? I doubt it. What you’re suffering is called “cognitive dissonance.” That is why you will actually stand behind such ignorance so long as it seems to support your view. Brother that is contrary to what’s needed to interpret biblical Truth. “Study to show thyself approved unto God…RIGHTLY DIVIDING the Truth….”

Coming next....

Re: Polygamy in the Bible
 

I will be back tonight I have to get to a fellowship with some church folks.

The thing about the Old West was ridiculous and silly. Elder Burk asked about stoning to death, and you brought up brutal child abuse? Brutal child abuse is the same as stoning? You need to go find a church and get some ministry. All this self help Christianity you guys are into is not helping you.

Re: Polygamy in the Bible
 

Hey Aquila, so while the Christian "Old West" was beating their kids to death, how did the 'Older East' Church-folk handle rebellious kids?

Maybe that's where the phrase "GO West YOUNG man" came from?? :ursofunny

I'll bite....;)


Death for Cursing Parents

If one curses his father or mother, his lamp will go out at the coming of darkness. (Proverbs 20:20 )



All who curse their father or mother must be put to death. They are guilty of a capital offense. (Leviticus 20:9 )


Very!


In some parts of the world stoning someone to death is still practice and put into law. There are many biblical contradictions in fact there are 143 of them. The Bible was written over a period of 1400 to 1800 years by more than 40 different authors. The Bible is a compilation of 66 separate books, divided into two primary divisions, the Old Testament containing 39 books and the New Testament containing 27 books. It is believed that all of the books of the Bible were written under inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

I believe it comes down to this, seek out your own salvation, don't depend on others for answers.

Re: Polygamy in the Bible
 

What? So there you go; just go with whatever feels right to you. Brother, you REALLY need to study what the Bible says rather than what you think....

Who cares what CULTURES practice? Where talking about what's allowed for CHRISTIANS.

So killing children, spouses, and friends is acceptable practice for a Christian?? Are you for real?

You NEVER answered what I asked. Try going back and rereading what I actually posted....
