21 | Was human propogation incestuous? | Bible general Archive 3 | rodent_tamer | 182191 | ||
When webster's dictionary defines incest as "unlawful" is it referring to God's law or man's law? I'm assuming the latter. Your answer explains what the negative genetic outcome of incest is, but doesn't God condemn incest in his law? Is this condemnation only because of the genetic defects? If he condemns incest after the fall, why would he condone it prefall? |

24 | DEPRESSION AND CHURCH ATTENDANCE | Bible general Archive 3 | rodent_tamer | 183237 | ||
When you said "it seems all the people in my group were not well", what do you mean? Are you still on meds and receiving treatment? I can understand what you feel regarding clinical depression and not wanting to be around people. Social withdrawal is one of the symptoms of clinical depression. I don't know what your experience has been, but I know, from my own experience, that unfortunately many christians are very ignorant regarding clinical depression and so often alienate those experiencing this terrible medical condition. I pray and hope that you find the support you need. I don't think it's a sin that you don't go to church, but I would also want to encourage you to find caring supportive christians who can help you with your condition because it is dangerous to disconnect yourself. The more disconnected or socially withdrawn you become, the worse your depressive condition will become. Have you considered perhaps finding group therapy? Perhaps you may want to find at least an online support group of other christians who struggle with clinical depression. I will pray for you and know God will open a way for you. Monica |

26 | How wer early church services structured | NT general Archive 1 | rodent_tamer | 180902 | ||
What were the functions of preachers,elders, deacons, teachers and pastors of the early church? Was there a hierarchy of these roles? I know the early church met in homes. Did they also gather in a larger assembly? Did one person preach a message like is done today? Do we have any documentation of the structure of these gatherings outside the bible? I know Paul would plant the church, but would he appoint one pastor to lead it? I guess I'm just trying to get an idea of how the early church gatherings were structured and how they evolved to today's traditions. -M |

Thanx for the link. In my readings there I found mention of deaconesses through one of the letters written by Pliny the younger. I then looked up the actual letter on line and found the exact quote. He writes: “These examinations made me think it necessary to inquire by torments what the truth was; which I did of two servant maids, who were called Deaconesses: but still I discovered no more than that they were addicted to a bad and to an extravagant superstition“. This letter must have been written in latin. I wonder what the latin for Deaconess was? It does seem to suggest it was an official title doesn't it? -M |

Thanx. It's so creepy how he calls tortures "exquisite". Very telling of the Roman brutality for those who didn't tow the company line. I remember reading somewhere that if any Roman soldier abandoned or even fell asleep at their post this was punishable by death. As told in the gospels, for fear of the body being stolen, the pharisees requested that the Roman soldiers guard the tomb right? If so, do you know if there is anything about this? Or any record that the soldiers abandoned their post? monica |

33 | did def. of marriage change over time? | Gen 2:24 | rodent_tamer | 181971 | ||
I'm having a hard time understanding how God could sanction polygamy in the bible. I'm referring to David, Solomon etc. Did the idea of marriage between one woman and one man change over time? According to the biblical definition of marriage, was not David an adulterer since he had multiple wives? Are there any verses in the bible that condone or condemn polygamy? | ||||||

35 | How did bible culture recognize marriage | Is 62:5 | rodent_tamer | 181975 | ||
In biblical times (both old and new) what constituted a marriage? What was the ceremony like? What made you married in the eyes of God? Our modern culture recognizes marriage very differently it seems i.e "common law marriage" etc. I just want to get a historical feel to how the biblical culture recognized marriage. |

36 | When is divorce recognized? On paper? | Matthew | rodent_tamer | 181966 | ||
My boyfriend once married a nonbeliever and when he married her he was a nonbeliever too. Sometime toward the end of the marriage he became a christian. Through out his marriage he was very faithful and tolerant of his wife. His wife struggled with alcohol and drug abuse through their marriage and he never considered leaving her because of this even when he wasn't a christian. One day his wife committed adultery with another woman, announced that she was now in love with this other woman and left him for this other woman.Now here's the situation. He is not legally divorced yet because he cannot yet afford to file for divorce. The only thing stopping him is the money. He fully intends to do so and wanted this the minute she breached her wedding covenant through adultery. Now here's my question, though he considers himself not bound to her any longer and has been physically separated from her for over a year, does God still consider him married because the divorce did not take place legally? Is he committing adultery if he is dating someone else and still legally married or did he become free from the marriage contract the minute she committed adultery? What does the bible say about this? Is this merely a technicality? Also once he gets divorced and since his divorce would be biblically justifiable, is he free to remarry? |

38 | Is marrying for citizenship real? | Matt 19:5 | rodent_tamer | 181968 | ||
I have 2 friends who got married before the justice of the peace, but their marriage was not real. By this I mean, one person married the other only so that the other could get their citizenship. Both parties said the words, but in their hearts, did not mean them. I know they did something illegal, but the person who did it did it because they wanted to help the other....to prevent the other person from getting deported. There was no monetary transaction or emotional commitment...they both faked it. Now even though it could be argued that was in poor judgment and deceptive to the state, do you think just because it was an outward public verbal commitment as opposed to a genuine inward commitment they are really married in the eyes of God? Did they really get married? They have since divorced after the citizenship was attained. One of the parties is a christian and is very concerned about this. She did it only to help the other person get their citizenship papers, but never meant it in her heart. | ||||||

40 | sexual intercourse makes one married? | Matt 19:5 | rodent_tamer | 181979 | ||
no they didn't consummate it. But since the vow they made with their mouths a lie, doesn't it make the marriage void? Are you saying that sexual intercourse with anyone outside of marriage makes one married in the eyes of God? |
