Any Christian knows to not marry one who is "unequally yoked". In other words, you don't marry an unbeliever, period. I have yet to see the day that a Christian marrys an Atheist. It just doesn't happen. Sure it does. I know three or four HAPPILY married couples where one is a Christian and the other is not. In fact my father in law was not a Christian until about 10 years into their marriage, in fact he was growin weed in their backyard, and drank alot, now he's turned around. Don't say that it doesn't happen, cause it does, and it works quite well sometimes too
Members Super_Donut_Man Posted November 4, 2005 Members Posted November 4, 2005 Originally posted by Mudbass You should read the Bible, it's pretty interesting...well, once you get through the Book of Genesis anyway (all those "begats" put me to sleep). There's stuff in there that'll have you really scratching your head. Yeah, and then all the laws. but yeah, the OT is just brutal. Judges especially.
Members King Kashue Posted November 4, 2005 Members Posted November 4, 2005 Originally posted by PrestiaRules this is why I come to you with history/translation related questions...and history was my minor in university...makes me feel shame.... MIJ basses rule! Yes...yes they do... As for me, I'm now in my 10th year of studying history, I ought to be decent at it by now As for the idea of a Christian that doesn't believe Christ is God, you can call yourself whatever you want, but that word means "Little Christ", and explicitly refers to an acceptance of Christ as God...Using it in conjunction with the idea that Christ is not God is just misuing language... I can can myself a refridgerator, but I'm not going to do a good job of keeping your beer cold (and you don't even want to know where the crisper drawer is)...

Don't say that it doesn't happen, cause it does, and it works quite well sometimes too Indeed, there are those who don't read 2 Corinthians 6:14 as prohibiting marriage with unbelivers, though I think it pretty clearly does...However, from a purely pragmatic point of view (ignoring scripture) marrying someone who has a vastly different world view is likely to cause some issues... Though the point you make is a very good one, when one member of a marriage becomes a Christian, it's not as if the "holy" thing to do is leave the marriage or something...There are specific biblical commands about winnning over your partner through your loving Christ like behavior, which includes (among other things) understanding them for who they are and where they are...

Members mrcrow Posted November 4, 2005 Members Posted November 4, 2005 Originally posted by RobRoy Read "Mere Christianity" By C. S. Lewis to get a good understanding of how Christianity fits into Life, the Universe, and Everything. The Bible is divided into two parts - 1) the revelation of God and his law in the Old testament; 2) The revelation of Gods plan for eternal salvation through the Death and Resurrection of Jesus the Christ - the New Testament. Regarding the events, the flood happens in the first book of the Old Testament, thousands of years before the birth of Christ. +3:thu: the bible may not appear to be true but contains truths... it teaches faith obedience and sacrifice.. the problem for many lie in the judeo concepts used to portray these to us abraham..a gentile and a heathen the davidic covenant the sacrificial system in place at the time of the coming of the messiah and the roman prescence...all prophetically used and practically as well.. the old testament is the prophetic pointing towards an event to take place the crucifiction/resurrection is the event the remainder of the new testaments after the synoptic gospels and the gospel of john are the acts..luke 2..of the disciples and then the letters and theology of paul with the lesser letters concurring.. the letters of paul were written before the gospels several gospels are not included in the new testament corpus...being thought not apostolic in nature.. RobRoy i like you

Don't forget to tip your waitresses. anything taken out of context becomes a pretext... now if you read ezekiel you will see some pertinent issues related to the mans {censored} fire and the cow dung which replaced it.. ezekiel is under instruction and is being shown the type of consideration god has for a dissident and wayward people who prefer mans {censored} to the proper {censored}.. its allegorical and typology rolled into one

Members Perfessor Posted November 4, 2005 Members Posted November 4, 2005 Yep, the world sure has changed since Noah's time. People aren't just partying and having loose sex and not caring about each other. Yessir, things have really changed. That's why we need Christ as an anchor and a church home to recharge And like minded Christians to be around to help get the load off.
