@PrussianSouth @smashbaals Two things: 1. Yes, if one burns with passion then it’s better to get married (1 Cor 7:9). 2. God commanded Adam and Eve to fill the earth and multiply. However, it is clear from Jesus’ and Paul’s example that marriage i...

@M_Jensen23 @smashbaals Even Jesus speaks of those who call him “Lord, Lord” and cast out many demons and do many works in HIs name and He says that He never knew them. Casting out demons is not proof one is a Christian, but also is certainly not pr...

@M_Jensen23 @smashbaals I’m not going to disagree with you there. The more I’m digging into this ‘apostle’ and her testimony the more the concerns are growing. If this is all she is doing, it is not a church. I was reacting to the statement that i...

@TimHami97610674 @TheRhetorRick @smashbaals Nature doesn't teach that men should have short hair on the head because by nature, head hair continues to grow without stopping. This is unlike the hair on your arms, legs or your eyebrows. Nature tells ...

@Sentinel_VA @smashbaals @TheJaredian Yes, the laws related to clean and unclean foods do not apply to believers after the resurrection of Jesus. However, Paul took a Nazarite vow in the New Testament (Acts 18:18; 21:23-26). He did this post-resurr...

@antemodernist @JakobFel @BenZeisloft @smashbaals Well, it could also be that the bias of the rest of the translators is involved. The fact is that nature doesn’t teach us there is a difference between male and female head hair. And Paul says there...

@TheRhetorRick @smashbaals But you said people were disagreeing with the Bible.

@TheRhetorRick @smashbaals No, you guys are just misreading 1 Cor 11:14. Not go

@smashbaals How does “nature” teach you that long hair is a shame for men when if they didn’t cut it, it would grow just as long as women’s hair? Was Sampson a shame because he never cut his hair? Anyone who takes a Nazarite vow—or is a Nazarite fo...
