Please advise the best scriptural defense against the teaching of polygamy as being sound doctrine?
I have four friends who are couples and they have a live-in arrangement with their respective partners. They are all not married. Can you please help me reprove their immoral behavior, using Scripture and sound advice, in a firm yet gentle manner? I am having a difficult time as I don't want to be meddling in their "business" (it is none of my business after all,) but what they are doing is immoral.
Can you please explain 1 John 5:16. This verse confuses me. I have heard several explanations, but they don't quite make sense. examples-do not pray for those unreceptive to the Gospel, but the wording of the last sentence implies that you don't have to, not don't. What do you think about it?
I would like to know when to celebrate Passover and what the real traditions are that the Lord requires?
Recently, I have been discussing man being made in the image of God. Some say that God's essence is spirit and, therefore, that image is mind, will, and emotions (or similar variations) and cannot include anything physical like a body.Some put forth that the image is spirit, soul, and body. But even most of those admit that the body is looking forward to Jesus as God in the flesh. My question for you is, why couldn't the Word have had a spiritual/physical body before the incarnation and, thus, man being made in God's image would be body, soul, and spirit?
