Re: The Law

Everyone... It can't be this hard to figure all this out, can it ?
This is very dis-heartening, and kind of a faith crasher.

Re: Multiple wives in the bible, was that allowed ?

Yes, sorry for the barrage of questions. I just gave up 3 years ago and caved into the world. Now I have to pick up where I left off. Thanks for the support. I will definitely check out all the links. I'm so glad I found this forum. On the funnier side of things. I signed up for it about 2 weeks ago...

Re: Multiple wives in the bible, was that allowed ?

Yes, the OT laws confuse me a lot. This is part of the reason I question if the bible is inerrant , infallible , or if it was just written by men who were seeking [G], but written around their culture. The many laws, esp the one you mention about paying the father for what you have done to the Virgi...

Re: Multiple wives in the bible, was that allowed ?

Thanks for all the great examples, I haven't had time to check the links yet but I can't wait. When reading the bible ( the entire bible ) I find I difficult to discern between the old law and what is still considered sin. For example, there is a huge debate throughout out time, and even on this for...

Re: Multiple wives in the bible, was that allowed ?

Hey Thanks for the Deut 17:17 verse , I asked this same question years ago to a pastor and he told me kings were told not to take many wives but I couldn't find the verse. Can you please state some of the other examples you refer to. What really baffles me about David is several things. First , his ...

Re: The Law

As i have stated in other posts, i comsider this discussion about the Law very important. how else can christians disern what is and is not sin. Simply quoting the big ten doesn't cover it. For instance, is sex before marriage allowable ? The big 10 only covers adultery, adultery is sex with another...

Re: Are we still required to follow Mosaic law?

This is an extremely important question because Christians need to be able to discern what is sin and what is not. Simply quoting the big ten doesn't cover it. For instance, is sex before marriage allowable ? The big 10 only covers adultery, adultery is sex with another person's spouse. The big 10 d...

Tower of Babel , what's that story all about ?

The story of the Tower of Babel really baffles me. What the heck were they possibly building? Why would [G] not want them to finish some building ?? And it's hard to believe different languages came from 1 event like that. We all see how language changes over time , just try to read old Canterbury E...

Multiple wives in the bible, was that allowed ?

I have a question regarding multiple wives in the bible . I've read the entire bible, with an open heart and mind but certain issues baffle me. It does not seem to appear anywhere in scripture to be forbidden to have multiple wives. Not only do certain great characters in the bible have multiple wiv...
