RE: [TruthTalk]Billy T -- call me

Yes, call Bill so he can help you fortify this liberal line of theology.  “The Bible is culture-based and “inspired” in places, but not “Gods written Word.”  Everything liberal is a variation upon this theme.  It is so very predictable.  But it leaves you with no firm foundation; only shifting sand.  How much joy and peace has living this belief brought you, JD? Bill? Lance?  I’d be interested to know.  iz   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, November 06, 2005 9:44 PM To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Subject: Re: [TruthTalk]Billy T -- call me    Hey Bill  -  call me.     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: Sun, 06 Nov 2005 21:17:10 -0500 Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] What counsel would you offer? Why wasn't King David told to dump Bathsheba?   Do we not see that the rules of marriage were developed out of cultural considerations?    And who said that the "commandments"  in I Co 7:19 are the 613 of the old law?  He just got through saying that circumcision  is nothing one way or the other !!!   Yet it is commanded under The Law.   Why do we resist the obvious  --  that Paul is dealing with various  issues  previously questioned  (7:1) with his answers being drawn from either a point of wisdom or as a consideration of the revelation of Christ as he was being  prepared for the [Gentile] ministry.      The very fact that there are a number of difficult issues surrounding marriage is evidence of the fact that the New Testament scriptures were never to be considered as a legal document to any degree whatsoever.   Not a word about a father who sexually abuses his children.  Nothing about physical abuse. If fornication is intercourse and "sexual immorality" is everything else,  then only intercourse outside the marriage is prohibited as an action for divorce.   Is a wife stuck with her husband if he will not work, but supports the family through thievery.   What if he is basically absent from the home,  ala outside sales, but visits the home several times a year ........................  leaving the wife with all the home responsibilities but none of the joy of being married.     Jd         -----Original Message----- From: Terry Clifton <wabbits1234@earthlink.net> To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: Sun, 06 Nov 2005 18:23:55 -0600 Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] What counsel would you offer? Circumcision may be nothing Christine.You can only do it once. Adultery on the other hand , can be, and in this case is, continual sin. Those who live in continual sin when they know that it is wrong are not following Christ; they are living in rebellion to His command. There is no forgiveness unless they turn from their sin to Christ. There are no new creatures with old natures. I know that sounds harsh, and I wish I could find a loophole. I had to break fellowship with a brother I love over this same situation.  Terry    >  > >  >>[Original Message]  >>From: Christine Miller <verilysaid@yahoo.com>  >>To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED] org>  >>Date: 11/6/2005 1:13:28 PM  >>Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] What counsel would you offer?  >>  >>I was reading 1 Corinthians 7, not particularly  >>thinking of this topic, but I read this about  >>circumcision:  >>  >>1 Cor. 7:18 - Is any man called being circumcised? let  >>him not become uncircumcised.
