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: Theo-Minor, Can you show me one case ? |
Bible Note: You wrote: [How about the example of David, with his wives AND his concubines? I guess this wasn't okay, seeing that David was a man after God's own heart. ... God didn't say it so okay. God did send Nathan to rebuke him for having sex with Bathsheba (2 Sam 11-12). ... I think God announced Adam and Eve as husband and wife. We will rebuke you, as long as you pronounce error. Admit you are wrong.] You are right on one score, and have not refuted me. "God did not say it, so okay," in regard to concubines. In fact, he gave them to David. Many of them were the wives of Saul. Bath-Sheba he rebuked David for because she was another man's wife. This is adultery, not sex outside of marriage, and this does not address the issue of whether or not sex makes two people one flesh in covenant. "I think God announced" is an opinion (I think being the key words here), not a scriptural fact. So again, you've proven nothing. I will admit I'm wrong, and gladly, when you prove it. Theo-Minor |
