The strong reactions are I think because people prefer their own opinions. Yes, it changes how we see His system....we see different reasons, different details in it. It changes our perception of family...and marriage too to one reflecting a...

After thinking more about it, I am led to think that my friends wife set him up to it. This may be my assumption, but now I just feel bad for him. He used to go on and on about how Trump was the best thing in the world after Jesus but his wife...

I’m thinking this might deserve its own thread, but what the heck. Let’s see how far this takes us past Trump. What is your dividing line between legalism and relativism? How do you know you’ve gone too far to one side?

Agreed. Laziness is the default. “My pastor says…so why study it out?”

Are we getting lost in translation? My reading of scripture says, "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor." Others will say "Don't lie". Is that the same thing? Dare we parse this commandment from God and look contextually at this...
