Sorry I fail to see the pattern.
One man full of lust rapes his sister and a telly evangelist lust after a women but has sex with another!
The only moral I see is we should live according to Jesus's command and show we love him by keeping the ten commandments.
Including the No sex outside of one's marriage.
Well the way i saw it is BOTH acted based on advice from people close to them which ended up ruining their lives. Sowe have to carefully discern what advice we listen to

What was the sin in the story? So many things you might think are a sin, but in the story the sin was Judah's refusal to allow his dead sons wife to marry her husbands brother.
And sleeping with a prostitute.

I read something of a theory that said that polygamy was not God's perfect will but he allowed it because of the circumstances of the time.
Israel would constantly be at war and whod go to war- men. So there could be at times (due to men being killed in battle) a massive female to male imbalance. Polygamy allowed for women who would normally have no means for support (since they didnt work) to get into a family as well as be able to build back up the population.

That was nice of you mechanic, to point out that the Duke was only flesh and blood......like us.
Youre welcome. Was just clarifying it. You said it was cause his of his tough western comments on film . Just showing these may be more.
Tbh. I don't think all statues should come down. IMHO Some should (e.g Columbus definately ) but people are taking it a bit too far. My fear is People are getting too aggressive with what they dislike. One day it may be statues of Jesus or any religious figure

I remember that.
I read he kept his airplane there before the noise got bad.
Recently heard they're going to take his bronze statue down there because of his
tough western comments on film are hurting sensitive feelings.
(remember, California, not so ironic!)He had a great love of our country, not like today's Hollywood crowd.
copy paste below, the tube. (7 min, cool)John Wayne & Celebrity Ensemble - God Bless America
Or maybe it was because in interviews he said he believed in white supremacy until blacks were educated a the point of responsibility and that nothing was wrong with taking land fron the native Americans.

I guess he'd be glad

I had a debate a few weeks ago with 2 older relatives. Basically they were saying flour naturally spout weevils if it's left alone for too long. I pointed out that the weevils can't just magically appear like that. What really happens is female weevils bore into the packaging and lay eggs which eventually hatch into the ones seen in the flour.
Cue loud debate ( my family is like that) of how silly my explanation is and how the bible talks about spontaneous generation (where God everything from nothing ) which is how the weevils appear in the flour and that we were here (alive) before you.
When the topic was Googled and the explanation given ( same as mine) that explanation was rejected saying " You're listening to the scientists " It was all very hilarious.
But theres an application here. Sometimes we can be the same way.Sometimes we can get so comfortable with the beliefs and doctrines we grew up with or were taught that we refuse to let them go and use snything to defend them,even if they were proven to be unbiblical. It happened with Jesus and the Pharisees with their traditions and we see it today. Eg i got screamed at by an Anglican for saying confirmation and salvation aren't the same. They literally said what I said was evil and of the devil.
So we need to be more open minded and remember that the word truth doesn't neccessarily mean- What we've always heard

And once again the original post is ignored as so many would rather defend when their balloon gets popped. Look at the original post and reply not to the sentence about masks but in regards to light and darkness. Please.... try.
Maybe cause of the fact that the not wearing masks could actually spread the disease and kill people. So people are concerned about others lives

What do you suggest that I do then? Allow you to spout off your misinformation and I am simply suppose to agree with it? I have come to the point in my life where I call things for the way I see them. When I see someone spouting off foolishness I will say so!
Maybe you should ask the 120 thousands + people who are dead from covid about the severity of this virus ! You can go ahead and live in denial if you want. But I will not sit back and let you post your misleading, foolish nonsense on these forums without point it out !
Remember the story of Jesus and the Pharisees. They asked him to show them a sign from heaven and prove that he was who he said he was. Jesus basically pointed out that whatever he showed them theyd explain away and not change their mind. And then left them.
Same principle here. This person's mind is made up and isn't changing regardless of what facts or evidence you show. So it's a waste of this frustrating your self trying to make him change his mind

What this whole thing keeps bringing to my mind, is something a wise black man said back in the mid-19th Century: "There is only one race--the human race."
Unfortunately the man's name escapes me now. Can anyone help with that?
Couldn't find them. Unfortunately society doesn't often act like it. Thats whay the b.l.m. movement is about.

I respectfully disagree.
Look no further than revisionist history being taught in public schools and universities. The personal letter Thomas Jefferson wrote to a friend pertaining to the separation of church and state taken out of context and used today; and so many other things...
Not to mention ISIS and radical Islam; why do you suppose they have and are destroying so many historic religious sites, tombs of the patriarchs, prophets and people in the Bible? Erasure of history and rewriting their own version.
Well ok

Yes he's a bank robber and is only doing his job, or a phone scam operator only doing there job scamming people out of there savings.
While I applaud your courage in raising these issues I would also ask whether they get to talking about the gospel?
Good point. Thanks

people want to destroy American culture & rewrite history, that's all this is is the destruction of America & the rewriting of history, by socialists & yes they want to take down statues & burn buildings until they get their way, they will not stop unless everybody confirms to what they
While they are going about it the wrong way, destroying a statue isn't rewriting history . The records and story remain unchanged.
For examples noones erasing the fact that that Columbus didn't land in the caribbean by wanting the statue down.
What they are saying considering what he's done-
(Enslaved a local population, committed genocide on different islands, sold women and girls inso sexual slavery
and how much it offends people- the descendants of those people are very offended by his statues. It's basically the same as the descendant of a Jewish holocaust survivor seeing a statue of Hitler erected.)
he doesn't deserve this honor. Remember alot of these statues were erected at different times under different administrations which weren't as racially senstive as they say they are are now.
So . Should we keep up something that offends other people and reminds them of a awful time in their history just because others want it to stay up

I've been in discussions with unsaved people about stories or topics which shocked me at the way some people's morals or standards have plummeted. Namely, when a Christian comments on something done, they becoe a villain and the majority support the immoral act. Not the regular homosexuality transrights either but things society society general would frown on.
Case in point
1. Some people frown in cheating but support polyamory. To say they're basically the same thing just that polyamory has permission is to get an angry lecture about the difference with all sorts of high sounding verbatim.
2. Once commented on the ridiculouness of a man who dated an adult film star getting shocked when she cheated on him. This sparked several people swarming me with criticisms saying it's just her job, can't apply moral judgment to her occupation, what does doing that for a living have to do with a relationship etc.
It opened my eyes to something. THANK GOD FOR HIS WORD. The bible never changes it's standards while the world constantly does. So the Christian will always have a set standard to live by and just situations. So as the world sinks more and more the Christians (ideally)have a rock to anchor them.

When folks went to riotin', all they're doin' is servin' their own personal evil intentions! No good will come of it!
Just my two bits, JJ
Yep. Some people are using the cause to just steal and cause destruction. Some protests started out peaceful and then break into anarchy as trouble makers join in. There's a video of a BLM organiser shouting over a megaphone to rioters looting a store to stop. This isn't what we are about.

How do you feel about the statue of Thomas Jefferson being torn down?
Glad. Any man who is quoted as saying blacks are inferior to whites while getting 6 kids from a teenaged black slave ehike being married doesn't deserve a statue

What i find funny is that it seems some of the offensive things that people peacefully complained about for years and were ignored are the things being now removed due to the protests- confederate flag got banned from NASCAR, statues of slave owners pulled down etc.

Does anyone think the riots and protesting is going to help anything ? I think it's just going to bring worse division. Dont get me wrong. I was very sad of what happen to the man murdered by the officer. God does not want us destroying our country over anything. I had a brother who was murdered so I know how injustice feels. But it his to apply . I think the left is using this against Trump. So he is not reelected . And dont forget demon powers are at work to use things like this. Satan is behind a lot of political attacks. If this is so bad now. What will happen in November.
Honestly, i dont think its political. People were probably frustrated at the confinement of the pandemic, losing their jobs, then years of these incidents with officers getting wrist slaps. So i think that last death just made people explode and lash out. They are helping because look at all these great legal changes that had been dragged on for years. Sometimes God allows bad things to happen because they have positive results

You do realise that vaccinations dont cause autism right? the only reason autism numbers have skyrocketed is because of more awareness of its presence. So more autistic children are being diagnosed whereas once theyd have been thought of as being slow or mentally challenged. It as always there, were just more aware of it.
In any case, which would you prefer? A increased chance of a vaccinated child getting autism or a raging pandemic which may kill said child and many others? What also hilarious is that alot of these people who are lobbying for anti vax themselves are vaccinated and are safe but are putting their own children or telling people to put their children at risk.
No matter how you doll it up, stubbornness and ignorance are.... stubborness and ignorance.
