Says who? What’s your evidence? You cast stones with little or no evidence. Have you met him? Spoken to him? Did you visit this congregation? You are quite a lofty fellow judging a lot of folks.

May God still use this story for people to study what Bible truly says about patriarchy and polygyny. I have been told that this family was at last biblical family retreat. Whatever error they hold to, may God use our brothers and sisters to...

Thanks for the examples. This ministry is unabashedly patriarchal (according to biblical extracts in the order of chain of submission). It’s a feature, not a secondary afterthought around here. However, what that looks like in each house is up...

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...

Was it sinful? Forbidden? Permissible? He didn’t restate bestiality. Must something be restated to be followed? Let’s. What is it? He’s nothing new. Why do you revert to that Old Testament figure for your faith? Jesus didnt restate him. So...

I’m not defending them. I just want to see facts before aspersions. And by being a prophet, does that mean he’s prophecying (speaking truth) about God or putting himself in a position of divine authority ala Nathan, Samuel, etc. Have you asked...

Distressingly? That’s a pretty choice word.

So he sinned? He kind of judaízed? He’s a hypocrite? He did that which was righteous? You do realize that prophecies of the coming kingdom include…temple sacrifice. Likely not just Jewish converts but at least you concede that point. All...

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...

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...

Doctrinal deficiencies? In what way? Please explain. How do you know these women are teaching mixed multitudes? This video seemed to show a testimonial. Did I miss something? How do you read the admonition for women to be silent in the...

This thread is super derailed btw. Couple of thoughts: I always read “doing right in their own eyes” as a negative. They did things according to their own morality, not God’s. That was the whole purpose of instituting judges. I welcome other...

If any of that is silent, then making a definitive conclusion in opposition is misguided, isn’t it? As far as Torah keeping, Paul offered up sacrifices in the Temple. The historical and biblical evidence seems to indicate that NT believers...

Ah, McClintock. Love JW and that movie. Maureen O’Hara is one of my faves. Not as good a flick as Quiet Man, but still good.
