HeyThere

I LOVE Keith Green.

As a hard core pro lifer I do not have blinders on. My prayer is for the unborn, newborn and children in this world. I will fight for every unborn and newborn child to have a chance at life. The life that Christ would want for them.

You are right.

I would think the fact that God inspired it makes it more than a clarification of conversation. It certainly is a guidebook - for our walk with God. Well, I'm sorry, I though the original topic was asking what the bible was TO ME... I am assuming that you cant TELL ME WHAT THE BIBLE IS TO ME. Which is what I did... you dont have to agree, but dont try to clarify or imply that I am wring in my belief.

A guideline... a source book. A clarification of conversation.

I agree 100%!

Some people HAVE to drive the gas guzzling vehicles... We have no choice. I paid 4:05 at the pump yesterday.

Then you must be ok with this. Didn't God tell them to have sex with those little kids? Well luckily, I dont think we serve the same God. That didn't answer the question. Would you be ok with a 13 year old marrying a 40 year old man? I'm not talking about FLDS.....just your normal everyday christian. What are your thoughts on that? Something finally struck me so I have to say this in regard to the original post I really find this question very odd coming from a fully mature christian well grounded in the word.I know all about people in the old testament having wives and concubines and dozzens of kids but jesus addressed that. Now was it you that said YOU would or could never marry again if divorced, yet you have no problem with multipule marriage. I find that odd for a fully mature Christian. I'm not saying you are not, just VERY ODD. YOu asked a legitimate question but one very sensitive to a fully mature Christian so you must have been prepared for a negative response but you are not scripturally prepared to defend your position and resist most attempts to answere your post. Have you asked your pastor or elders this same question and what was their response? If not, please do so and inform us of the results, i Would be most interested to hear back. Hi... I dont know who you are talking to... but I was wondering, who said they didnt have a problem with polygamy? (Can you show me a quote, I think i may have missed it...)

I agree! God didnt say go forth and populate the earth until global warming. God coming back y'all!

Um, no, it doesnt. If my teenage daughter (15 or older) wanted to marry an older man and I felt that was what God was leading her to do, then I would sign a consent. Hypothetically. That does not make me FLDS. The only time I posted under Merins name, I said it was me. I am not doing any talking for him... his thoughts are his own. I know you will deny it but that is not what you said. You said if you were sure it was what god wanted you would agree whether you did or not. so if your pastor said that God told him your daughter was to marry his 40 year old brother then hyperthetically you would say yes. that hyperthetically makes you an FLDS believer. Hypethetically speaking, that is? IF GOD TOLD ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And you must not know what the FDLS believe, because its way more than that. Edited to add- I went back and read ALL of my posts and no where does it say what you said I said. Go read them. So, if God told me too, I would want what God wants. How would God tell you this? Prayer, fasting. I dont know about you (not snotty, I really dont know) but I have a relationship with God. I go to him with all of my decisions and get answers every time.

1 Timothy 4:14-- "Dont let others look down on you because you are young, but set an example in life, love, speech, purity and holiness."

Not suitable for a public library. Why would someone look at porn at the library anyway? Geez.

I think it should be 18. I dont like that there are a bunch of different ages for different things. A 18 year old can go off and die for this country, but cant have a beer with his friends? Nonsense.

Sorry I misunderstood! Actually, no, it's the age of consent that varies in different countries. Adulthood is a matter of physical and psychological maturity. I can cite many scientific studies which prove that children of the age of 15 do not have the psychological maturity required for understanding the complications of marriage and child-rearing. You're right... adulthood and age of consent are not the same. Nope, not Jewish, Muslim or any other eastern religion. My parents did not make any decision for me and no there was no family meeting. BUT my parents arent Christians either... so maybe there should have been. Umm, no. I dont like to share. I'm not Merin, but I dont think he would... at least his wife wouldnt.

Nobody said anything about 12 year olds... stay on topic man. We did. Is it in the TOS? Worthyboards doesnt like people posting on other people's accounts. Both you and your hubby have done that. Can you please log out and use your own accounts? we already did... Wife just got alittle excited there!! LOL I apologize..... Next time, dont log me out. Worthyboards doesnt like people posting on other people's accounts. Both you and your hubby have done that. Can you please log out and use your own accounts? we already did... Wife just got alittle excited there!! LOL I apologize..... We have other husbands and wives posting here, none of them post under each other's accounts. Posting under each other's accounts is a no-no. Thanks I think we clarified that... Being repetative is a no-no too. Oh hush!

I never said ANYTHING about an UNWILLING anyone. We were talking about if they wanted too... at least I thought we were. I wasnt arguing for the sake of arguing, I don think that everyone should be lumped into a category... What is good for you may not be good for someone else, but that doesnt mean we all need to fit some "standard"

So how do you determine the age of adulthood? Is it legal to marry at the age of 15? In some places with a parents sig I believe it is... I could be wrong. I married at 17... I could have married at 16. I was ready! I think it depends on how you were raised and what you are ready for. JMO. I wish the age of adulthood could be a case by case basis. I know people my age now that shouldnt be considered adults.

Either you are VERY young in the Lord, don't read much or need a great deal of bible study to ask a question like that. That is an opinion, not a biblical verse showing a reason... Heather, Do you agree that it is acceptable in our culture to wed children and bear children by them? Do you agree or disagree that Christians should be obedient to the laws of man? Your husband's post implies that all things are permissible that are not specifically addressed in the Bible. However, suicide is not addressed, drug usage is not addressed, pornography is not addressed, and prancing around in public in the nude is not addressed. So does that make it okay for Christians to do these things? I think that a reasonable, serious, and Scripturally versed Christian would not entertain such a ridiculous notion. CHILDREN? No, but I think the age of adulthood is different for everyone. As long as the laws of man do not go against the laws of God, then yes. Now to address the rest of your post... ALL of those things are addressed in the bible. Suicide is murdering yourslef, murder is in the bible. Drug use... well your body is a temple of God and you are to keep it holy. Pornography... looking lustfully at another person... Prancing around public nude would fall into the modesty category. I believe it is ALL in there... I also do not like you implying that I or my husband are not reasonable, serious, and scripturally versed. my daughters will marry who, when and how God tells us!!!! What do you mean by " when God tells US? Are you having a part in the decision? oh no I see where that could go....LOL of course I will be apart of the desition... Who better than their daddy? Will your children have any say? Absolutely!! But to think that your child will just run off and get married without any council is ridiculous, IMO. Our children will not be raised that way.

Either you are VERY young in the Lord, don't read much or need a great deal of bible study to ask a question like that. are those the only choices?

ty sir i belive that you should only marry once and if your spouse dies you can marry again...if you divorce i belive to remarry would be adultry....or if you marry someone divorced sorry i am logged in under my wife lol...this is merin

Why wouldnt you have a say in who your children marry? Who's children disregard their parents opinion and marrys whoever they want?! That is nuts! Our children will be raised to respect our opinion...
