i promise to be kind.

"Mr. J. Christ basically said the OT laws were no longer in effect"

i never heard him say that and i can't find it anywhere in any writings.

Rick - here's some food for thought.

I believe in God, and I believe that Jesus was God's son and he came here to pay for our sins. If I am wrong - "no tv".

You do not believe in God (or so I gathered from your last post). If YOU are wrong - You'll spend eternity in hell.

Cheers!

dont be so hard on Rick, he does know right from wrong. thats a start, Rick just knows there is a higher power he just hasn't met him yet. Please pray for my friend Maven, thanks.

rick, i'll be the first to step up and apologize when i'm wrong. the "to know" = "to have sex with" is NOT correct, though. it has become a popular saying ("let's just say i 'knew' her... in the biblical sense!" ba dum dum kind of thing), but it's linguistically untrue. not asking you to take my word for it, and i do hope you know that i respect your intelligence. 🙂 i'll get the "proof" for you. just having a rough day of it here ability-wise.

just as there are several words for "love" (eros, agape, philos, etc.), so there are several words for "know" that break down to mean various kinds of knowing. the "know them" in this case does NOT mean "to have sex with them."

again, i'll get you the evidence as soon as i can dig this all up again. ditto with Romans. this is something i researched and studied heavily a couple of years ago; just gotta find where i parked it. lol

Rick...Paul said these things.

Gal:3:15-20
Gal:3:23-25
Col:3:1-25

Think of Paul as the Clint Eastwood High Plains Drfter character of the Bible. That image should help a little when you're reading about his life.

... in reading all the above ... my mind could not help but wander upon some interesting topics to say the least ... and, from Jim's perspective on this whole thing ... if a guy were to have the opportunity to share an evening with two women at the same time ....






... the worst thing that could happen is that he'd end up disappointing two women instead of just one ... right?

Rick,

That's what I had always believed. Cavallo just brought an interesting point that I was trying to clarify.
