Re: Covenant Family
After reading the whole chapter in eight translations (and peeking at the previous and next), I looked at Merrill Unger's "Hodder Bible Handbook". Yeah the Corinthians had behavioural problems - only a few of which were sexual! :) "Snap"! You are absolutely right, Wendy. If you r...

Re: Covenant Family
Okay my curiosity got the better of me... the old distortion-generator of "context" seems the problem here. Give me the opportunity to come back perhaps in a day or so with what my Tyndale 8-translation New Testament says that actual scripture's wording can mean, plus a very useful paraph...

Re: Covenant Family
Paul and Robo, agreed. You know I have never noticed any interpretation of that quite obscure (to me) verse. I wonder what REAL teachings have come from that verse. When I feel a bit better I might go and look and see what searches may provide us with. Paul, you are actually correct in your apologet...

Re: True Religion 26 June 2017

Re: Covenant Family
Wendy, there is an abbreviation used in chatrooms... "lol"... which means "laugh(ing) out loud"
I think you are spot on ma'am (assuming that you are a lady )
And Robo, well said

Re: The level of degradation that MCF reached 1994-2016
Thank you Paul for your support for my approach. Please, though, let EACH of us be "Our brother's keeper" and remember that ANY deviation we notice, we need to warn each other about. Interesting you mention the Lutheran Church. While in chatroom ministry in 2008, two locals, staunch Luther...

Re: The level of degradation that MCF reached 1994-2016
Indeed, Thanomere and Paul. I couldn't agree more :) :) BTW having been through another mob of "controllers" I have felt since streetcar Mk2 (this being streetcar mK3 if my maths is good enough!) I have felt a call to blow bits open that need blowing open because I have seen hurting people...

Re: The level of degradation that MCF reached 1994-2016
Good morning. Yes, and adding to Paul's valid question, there is an NT scripture (rather than an OT one which deals with prophets etc) which states categorically... in my paraphrase which is easier to read... "If your brother errs ... challenge him face-to-face... and take along another brother...

Re: The level of degradation that MCF reached 1994-2016
Charity, I'm sure we understand your motivation for that request, and sympathise. Just a small problem; this is the only known explanation for why his dad didn't say anything with teeth in it about Morag's questions. How then are hurting people reading this blog to understand the needed answer to &q...

Re: The level of degradation that MCF reached 1994-2016
nicely put all three of you. This is what I meant when I wrote that Paul NOW has a real calling from Almighty God, Paul, I believe you are demonstrating to all of us the gift that the Lord has given you for our benefit. meaning that Paul was not a "lackey" being thrown morsels from the tab...
