Why apologize? Just answer the question. Did he qualify as a prophet? King? Anointed one? a son of God? Yes or no? Why do you keep avoiding questions lol

Did David have the Spirit? IF he lived by a higher "step" does that mean he never kept all those different laws which we don't have to keep? Kinda strange you would say that

"I many as well wear jewelry". It was her decision.

Get your fact straight.

Here are the facts

I don't want her to be lost.

You connected her being lost with wearing shiny stuff lol

Prax I promise I didn't mean it as an apology.What I posted though is truth.Sorry if it doesn't play into your theology but if David were to live on this side of Calvary the way he lived on that side of it he would die lost and I am not avoiding the question by any means.Go back and read my posts again.

I was speaking of Abraham, He is the father of faith, we are Abramham's seed because of Christ.

It can be except that with investing in the market you are actually buying and selling something such as a commodity. The idea is to buy low and sell high.
Whereas with gambling you are attempting to beat the odds of some set of cards or a machine or other device with no potential to back out without a loss. In this, your loss could never be regained .

Sis, in all honesty, what does this have to do with my question? Are you keeping holiness standards that originated with Jewish orthodoxy? If your answer is yes, then the question applies to those that adhere to the strictness of dress that came from the school of Jewish conservatism. I could ask you the same question and then depending on your answer, I could give you the same answer that you would inherently give me.

"I disagree. I have a friend who doesn't wear a wedding band. She is a licensed minister and goes places without her husband, as he has to work. She's been approached numerous times by other single preachers who offer to buy her lunch.

Now, she wasn't flirting, but that ring would have saved some embarrassment!"


I prefer not to wear a wedding band and I am fine with it. ....As far as someone asking someone to buy a lunch, a person can JUST REFUSE. I've worked as a professional for over 30 years (and yes, I'm over 50 - and yes I've been "hit on" recently - if you want to call it that)....Does that make me want to go against what I've been taught and what I believe is right for ME?....No, ma'am.

Blessings to you Heavenly One,
Talk Lady.......I wish I had more time to respond but I don't.

So, why were you "hit on" recently? Did the person not know you were married by your actions?
