And I doubt that these strict,rigid,only the WORD OF GOD proponents live that way themselves.
WELL SAID.
THX.
Need to get another copy and finish that one. Mine got lent to someone some time ago!
THE COMMUNIST, GLOBALIST, SATANIST, liberal, hideous nonsense gets in the air, water and food.
Even normally sane people don't realize their mind has been co-opted by hogwash.
Sigh.
The Bible teaches,, in EPH chapter 5 verse 25 " Husbands, Love your wives as Christ loved the church and gave himself for it "
B) Judaism teaches that men and women have different obligations that are equally important.
YUP.
Alas, I don't think it will be until all evil has been done away with on the planet. . . . given that
that
seems scheduled for our era.
XIE XIE!
WO AI NI YE.
XAO XIN.
That's the most nothing,I've seen posted in a very long time. LOL
But let's talk about your "ad hoc clique",for the nonce. By your own definition,YOU are part of another CLIQUE. Better look to that beam in your own eye,before screaming about the wee mote in others'. And you should slowly put down those stones,oh you,who live in a house of glass.
Quite so.
None of us can live up to even our own paltry standards in our own strength. Which is back at the need for and essence of The Gospel, to begin with.
PTL FOR JESUS' BLOOD!
That's exactly what I was trying to get at in post #37.
It isn't legally being able to get a divorce that causes people to want a divorce. (although being financially rewarded for divorce in some cases does that, but family law is the cause of that, not the solution).
Even if divorce were completely outlawed, people will still get them, even if not legally. One simply walks out the door, and the marriage is over. Laws can never stop that.
The real issue here is: Why do people want to walk out the door to begin with?
The answer(s) are extremely complex and lengthy, and have deep seated roots that took a long time to come about. Fixing them will take even longer, if at all.
That said, you need to understand that not every is Christian therefore not everyone shares your view.

I don't think that anyone would disagree that, americans (men and women) are, generally, more selfish today than they used to be.
And that our society encourages such selfishness.
Many people today get married for what they can get out of it ... while true marriage is, ultimately, about serving one another (and one's children).
My parents have been married for 30 years. I Don't need any big government BS counseling by some bureaucrats.
taxed severely
Taxes are the solution of left wing big government socialists.
And while I'm not 'shacking up', any entity that forces my living arrangements will be considered a burgular in my castle and dealt with accordingly.
Chinese New Year is almost upon us...so HAPPY YEAR OF THE ROOSTER!
