The Narrow Path Ministries

How can you know that? We are trying to look back at civilization 4000+ years ago. You are doing so through the lens of Jesus 2000 years ago. Jesus lived in a very specific time, so his teachings have context that cannot be so easily ripped out of wholesale and dropped into 2016. Also, his words in...

So if a man marries two wives and the 3 are now one. What happens when the husband dies but the two women remain alive? Are they still one? If not how were the one when the man was alive but not once he dies? If they aren't one then one could argue that the 3 were never one in the first place. That ...

I believe it was societies social welfare program not God's. Jesus established what God had intended. How can this be said of more than one spouse? Mathew 19: 4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,  5 And said, For ...

We all have joy in life (as well as sorrow). So the fact that we are alive matters, in order to maximize our joy while we are still alive. But what does joy matter if they are but chemical illusions to make the fittest survive? Why should the joy of a human matter more than that of a dog? If I can ...

Yes. I have heard atheist argue that we can define morality. It seems like they haven't thought through the equation deep enough. If we evolved out of a series of accidents and are feelings and emotions are just there to make us more likely to survive why would human life matter at all? Or even life...

Today I happened to read:  Timothy 10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. I myself am still undecided on this topic. I haven't yet read Steve's books. I hope to but don't think it would ...

So though God did give them to him it wasn't what God wanted but what David wanted and God allowed because of his faithfulness. It sounds like you are saying that, if you want more wives, God might allow it if you have been faithful? I have seen the scripture say, I believe in Deuteronomy, that a k...

Wouldn't a solution be to have individual bathrooms where the door can be locked? They can be simply called "bathrooms" and anyone can use them. Maybe i'm a bit cynical but it seems like all these enlightened edicts always attack traditional values and it's always the federal government or federal ...

I don't see this passage as changing your original understanding. To me it reads like, I already even allowed you to have extra wives and yet you had to go and steal your friends wife and kill him. Pointing out you were already far from where I wanted you to be and I still accepted you but now you h...

Jaydam, thank you for sharing. There is a lot in the bible on how our side of the fight works. I don't know much about how pagan, witch craft, etc. works but it seems to be effective too. It seems we get what we or others ask for good or bad even if there were good intentions on the part of the ther...
