AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 18:6 but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble and sin [by leading him away from My teaching], it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone [as large as one turned by a donkey] hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea. [Mark 9:42; Luke 17:2] |
Subject: should I avoid the appearance of evil? |
Bible Note: I gave good examples. I backed it up with examples. I expected opinions. No one has refuted anything. A man and a woman come together and they are one flesh. This is a covenant. No one has demonstrated that such a union does NOT constitute a marriage. No one has demonstrated that I am wrong. This has been even more nasty than I ever expected from Christians. I have been ridiculed, insulted, called names, rebuked, and otherwise ostracized ... and without a shred of substantiation to support any of this behavior. Ban the topic. That's what you do with all the others. I expect it of you. We wouldn't want to discuss the credibility of an alternate point of view. This is more like an opinion forum. Well heap another slab of pride on my plate, thank you very much. I've never been treated so poorly, and every one of you that insulted me the way you did, I have grave doubts of your true Christianity. Try reading the scriptures. And while you're at it, explain why David had both wives AND concubines, and why God would have given him many more things "like these" to have prevented the one act of adultery. You people are a disgrace to treat another the way you have. And I forgive you. Theo-Minor |
