@jettypbok@MinotaurMouth@five2thefifth@scaryhourspdcst This was the age for statutory rape (carnal knowledge of a child treated as rape regardless of claimed “consent”), not the minimum age for marriage. Under common law (which Delaware followed), the marriageable age remained around 12 for girls and 14 for boys.
On "VOTING FOR THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS"
If godly people refuse to vote for the LESSER of 2 evils, godless people will vote to ensure you, your children, and your grandchildren get the GREATER of 2 evils.
NEWSFLASH: You will be voting for a "lesser of two evils" until Jesus returns.
Wise Christians can differentiate between a FALLEN candidate and an EVIL candidate.
FALLEN CANDIDATE: Has personal sin in his / her life.
EVIL CANDIDATE: Leads entire communities, states, and nations to sin.
@KristinNap95@HealthyMama23@SamaHoole Ever get checked for H Pylori? That will cause acid issues as it depletes your acid. If not that, check for dysbiosis. That was my issue, I had daily severe acid issues constantly coming up my throat.
@5SolasMissy Calvinist: God only saves a small select amount of his creatures. The rest he refuses to save. This brings him glory.
Bible: "He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love."
@DrFrankTurek Maybe the earth dates or looks older because it was created aged/mature on day 1?
When the animals, trees, etc were made, were they fully mature? Adam was, so why can't the earth appear mature too yet technically be young?
@Psychobobicus@god_came_down@Soteriology101@DineshDSouza You already know how I view John 6 and how there is another way outside of monergism to rightly divide it.
The Bible clearly teaches God is love, just, kind, mercy, gracious and tells man to humble himself. These all contradict monergism, no idea how you think it's the truth.
@Psychobobicus@god_came_down@Soteriology101@DineshDSouza The point is not salvation here, the point is the ability for someone to humble themselves without regeneration or God intervening in them.
National Israel are unregenerate humans, told to be humble. There is no way around this.
@David051661@Soteriology101 Yes, He came to His own, but they received Him not (John 1:11), so He used Israel, "marred" and partially hardened them, as He did Pharaoh, to bring salvation to the Gentiles (see Romans 11).

This is what repentance is, in the Greek it means to "change ones mind". God doesn't do this. The sinner must do this, this is why Jesus commanded them in Mrk 1:15 to "repent" and then what? "believe" both in the "active" voice.

This was the whole point of John the baptist, the forerunner to Christ to prepare the people's hearts (Matthew 3:3) so they could receive and believe on Him. As you can see, the heart position must be aligned properly or a person won't hear/see to believe.
@David051661@Soteriology101 The Potter in Jeremiah 18 will still use the marred clay but it is the clay's choice to be marred, their outcome could be different if they repent (v. 8). In other words, marred clay doesn't go to waste, the Potter will still use it for His purposes.
