@DefiantBaptist@JoelWebbon@piratechristian Why do I feel like we are in bizarro world in these times. How is it we've come so far that we've nuanced passages of the Bible so badly that we are arguing about things that have been understood as obvious. 2Tim.3:7
@jonharris1989 The Maternal incest view actually hinges on the Leviticus verses that directly apply the nakedness of the wife to the husband. Unfortunately you quoted the verses that do not do that. Look at Lev. 20:11, 20-21.
@jonharris1989 I think a lot of folks find it difficult to read that in light of those verses because so many have paired it with the curse of Ham theory about race and ethnicity. It has become a packaged argument, when the two should be separated.
@Protestia People all upset that @Protestia and others, are saying what they're saying by using Dolly's own words... it only reveals that they have touched an idol. There are a lot of professing Christians who are offended because the implications reveal something more about themselves.
@Protestia It's a lowkey response to Joel's statement on what their idea of what the great commission looks like, and then you compare that in response to ministries like a GTY (looking at @Phil_Johnson_). See Webbons response 47:09 mark
@jonharris1989 Adoption seems to be getting further and further outside of the Christian circles. I remember a lot of adoptions were being done by Christians, another trend also this side of woke, many have been bullied into the idea that you can no longer adopt outside of your race.
@Protestia At what point do you just become honest with yourself and admit that it is an appeal to the secular nature of your flesh. We don't like saying such things because it actually offends our ideas about our own self righteousness.
@Protestia Compromising?... who would you be separating from? Isn't the very idea of " Christian Rock" or Christian (insert name genre) a compromising or melding of what's supposed to be sacred with secular? Your just fighting over the degrees of that compromise.
@DefiantBaptist It's a control mechanism. You apologetically ask for context or elaboration but you are establishing that you are controlling the narrative without being the one originally asking the question. It shifts leverage and gives the impression that you are the authority.
