We don't use cuss words here, son. If you want to use that kind of language, go to an atheist forum. There is only one acceptable version of the Bible, the 1611 King James Version authored by God Himself. Hardcover, paperback, or electronic are all valid, what matters is the Word. I'd advise you to read it.

What about later revisions? Revised Version for example or the New King James Version, usually listed as NKJV?

Re: Follow the Word of God, not your "conscience"

Thank you so much Paster I was wondering if there are other acceptable versions of the bible. I dont want that 5G electronic [NAUGHTY WORDS REMOVED BY MODERATOR] messing with my brain, you know. I prefer the traditional paper bible.

Re: Follow the Word of God, not your "conscience"

Who said that free speech should be forbidden? Jesus disagrees.

Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. Matthew 15:14


Everyone is free to state his/her opinion. Doesn't mean they are right. Everyone reaps what he sows.

And I will confess, I was born in Minneapolis, but sadly that is a rather blue country. My father is Czech. I moved there to teach them about the truth.

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Matthew 28:19

Amen!


I am Blessed to teach elementary school children in a committed Christian school. These are the very lessons our entire educational curriculum is inspired by. It does no child any favor to let them grow up thinking society's standards are important. Children are so easily led astray since they believe adults no matter what. God's standards are the only ones they need to worry about and we make sure that lesson sinks in deeply. No child in my school will ever hear that having two mommies is anything but dangerous to the mommies, the children, and the entire community in which that family lives. No child in my school will ever hear feminist agenda with its lies about being able to do anything she wants. We don't have to worry about offending the secular god of political correctness. We only need to concern ourselves with how we can serve God. We have a very Godly idea of what it means to have No Child Left Behind!

Good one sister, its important we raised our children the way of God both in school and at home. Perhaps children should be brought from all these godless orphanages and also taught about the truth of Jesus and made a great work man of Jesus, alleluia!
2 Timothy 2:15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Do you mean like the feelings we have for Stalin or bin-Laden?

Re: Follow the Word of God, not your "conscience"

And what about me? I have no family. My mother died in December 2018, my father already two months before that. So I cannot hate them

Who told you that you cannot have feelings towards people who are already dead?

[JakubDovac]

Re: Follow the Word of God, not your "conscience"

However, the Bible clearly states that I should hate my family if I want to follow Jesus. (Luke 14:26; Matthew 10:21, 35-37)

Re: Follow the Word of God, not your "conscience"

But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. (Matthew 5:28)...

That involves adultery, yes, but not divorce, which is the subject at hand.

...But I would not ignore 2nd Timothy 5:8:
But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel....

You safely could in this case because it's not relevant. Divorce is deciding whether she's part of the household you're responsible for.

...(1st Corinthians 7:12-14)

Paul summarizes himself more clearly in one sentence in 1 Corinthians 7:15, but that's still not relevant.

Why were you considering divorce? Was she unfaithful, to you or God? The Bible says you're allowed to divorce in those cases, and re-marry (if you're male).

[Diesel Stanford]

Re: Follow the Word of God, not your "conscience"

Read the whole Bible before you go telling others what it says, thanks.

Divorce =/= adultery (unless you're a woman).

Matthew 19:9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except [it be] for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

Romans 7:2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to [her] husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of [her] husband.

Mark 10:12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.



What food laws do you think Landover follows?

But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. (Matthew 5:28)


Thanks for your help, yours and Basilissa's, you both made me sound pretty legalistic. But I would not ignore 2nd Timothy 5:8:
But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

Do I want to be worse than unbeliever? Of course not.


But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. (1st Corinthians 7:12-14)

Re: Follow the Word of God, not your "conscience"

I felt like divorce for several years. But luckily I obeyed Exodus 20:14: Thou shalt not commit adultery...

You should read the Bible a bit more carefully, dear. Divorce is not adultery. In fact, adultery is the main reason why divorce is allowed.

...Marrying someone divorced, now, that's a totally different story:

Matthew 19:9 - And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except [it be] for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

While you do seem quite prolific, my suggestion is to do a little bit less of writing and video posting, and much more of Bible reading.

I hope this was helpful, dear.

(Mark 7:18-19)

Re: Follow the Word of God, not your "conscience"

Whenever I think that killing little children and babies is unconscionable, I remind myself how many times God did it, ordered it, or waxed poetic about it and that pesky little voice in the back of my brain shuts right up. Praise Jesus!

Re: Follow the Word of God, not your "conscience"

I am giving this thread another gentle bump because it is as relevant as when it was written over a decade ago. Indeed, Biblical morality often stands at odds with modern so-called "ethics" or even the modern-era notions of "common sense." Nonetheless, those who want to be Saved™ need to follow the Word of God 100%... because the alternative is Hell:

James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

Someone needs to remind Michael Steele, the former chair of the Republican National Committee, just why it's a good idea for him to mind his place in Jesus' World. He clearly doesn't understand faith and trust like we do, Sister Bas. Rather than trust God is in control, he's ranting like a lunatic about those who uncompromisingly preach God's Word:

“I have a very simple admonition at this point,” Steele said on “Hardball” on MSNBC. “Just shut the hell up and don’t ever preach to me about anything ever again. I don’t want to hear it.”

Steele added:

“After telling me how to live my life, who to love, what to believe, what not to believe, what to do and what not to do and now you sit back and the prostitutes don’t matter? The grabbing the you-know-what doesn’t matter? The outright behavior and lies don’t matter? Just shut up.”

That's pretty stupid if you ask me, to tell men of God to shut up because you don't like how they serve the LORD of Creation.
