And yet those persecuted Christians did not obey the Roman state by refusing to burn incense to the emperor, so clearly there was no compulsion to obey that power.

Correct, it's better to obey God rather than men whenever there's a contradiction.

You will also find some who would disagree with this too, for various reasons. If taken too far, selflessness could paralyze a husband and father into not wanting to upset the peace in his home and thereby not making big or bold decisions...

Uhhh, not so sure about that. Sin doesn’t necessarily require an antecedent. It’s inherent. Plenty of well meaning and agape filled spouses have found themselves mystified by the actions of their one flesh partner. Like @steve said, basic...

There is a Bell Curve for anything, with abuse on either side of the center. I wish that the term patriarchy meant a balanced, Biblical male leadership. But alas, it doesn’t. It simply means male leadership, so toxic patriarchy is simply a...

That's right, it needs to be talked about. I just finished Jacob Foulk's book "Exposing the Spirit of Ashtaroth". Really good, there was a ton that resonated with me. Granted, there was about 15% or so that I didn't totally agree with, but that...

This sort of think influenced the daughters in the family our daughter married into. They didn't know how they would feel about my husband's other wife when they came out for the wedding 2.5 years ago. They were surprised at how NORMAL it...

I had a similar, but quite different experience. My tail bone broke my senior year in college and the doc wanted to remove it. I asked him if it would help and he said no. I would have phantom pain the rest of my life. No thanks, so I went to...

Had a sisterwife over four years now. If wanting this had made me equipped I would have had no problems. There is really not much about monogamy that helps you with this. It changes pretty much everything. I have really never had a problem with...
