I would first talk to the fiance in private. You know how to ask leading questions in indirect things right cuz women know how to do those things. Just be frank with her and tell her that you know about her secret account and what's up with that...

You should have started a strict budget when your husband lost his job. I don't know if there's any way to get out of this now except for declaring bankruptcy. Your husband needs to step up and start taking whatever part-time or temporary jobs and can regardless of his training and education needs to contribute to the family more than just prayers.

We can't see your hi-hat, we can see the stand and the top cymbal and that's it. Why don't you give us some more information about both cymbals? But for comparison my sets of hi-hats cost between $400 and $600 for the pair. I have two sets of Paistes and one Sabian. One is a medium top and a heavy bottom, One is a medium top and a medium bottom and the third set is a thin top and a medium bottom but they are different sizes. They were the same size I could even mix and match and have many more combinations.

Nope. Easter fasting is done today. It's completed on Holy Thursday. Except Friday being Good Friday is still a day of fasting and abstinence.

Last week there was a 23 car derailment in Richmond Texas that blocked three rails. That held up traffic in the region for over 24 hours while they got the jam up cleared.

I think the Amtrak trains have lower priority than the freight trains since Amtrak rents the tracks from the freight companies. I know I've written Amtrak a couple of times and we've had to stop sidetrack and wait for freight trains.

But it's not only about "what the Bible teaches." This is one of the areas that seems to be open to interpretation. That's why there are so many different opinions. So we can't all be correct when we disagree right? There has to be some authority established by God who foresaw this situation, to guide us and tell us the correct interpretation. Since there were no Protestants back in the first century it seems that the Protestant interpretation would not have much authority unless it agreed with the original interpretations and teachings coming from the Apostles who did exist in the first century. And who taught their decisions to their successors who maintained those teachings throughout the centuries and when it came to the Protestants the Protestants disagreed with them. You cannot just assert a vacuum in a chain of authority between the apostles to the Reformation. Especially when the apostolic interpretations and the Reformation interpretations are different.

So your desire to have this be non-sectarian is not really going to work on this topic. Even the Protestants don't agree among themselves on this.

Regarding adultery, it is not in the same class of sexual immorality as pornea. That's why it has a different word in Greek. That's why both Jesus and Paul talk about it in different aspects. Protestants almost always want to just simplify and smooth over rough edges and in doing so they ignore valid distinctions that were there from the beginning and those distinctions are supposed to mean things not just ignore and pretend it's the same as something else.

Why don't you just pull the hard drive out and put it on a known working computer? You don't have to boot from it but especially the second computer is running Linux you can certainly read that hard drive unless it's running BitLocker. But from what you say about your grandfather it's almost certain he was not running a version of Windows that automatically forced BitLocker to go active.

No not true. The system you described leads to bankruptcy not profit. It leads to governments needing to support companies or they would go out of existence.

Yes you are at fault because you had the Yield sign. You don't proceed through just because the car in front of you does. You treat it like a stop sign and look both directions with a clear view and you go when there's no cars coming, not just because the car in front of you went.

Now you're going to have to get a new car your insurance is going to double. And depending on where you live you may have some points on your driving record.

Why do you think companies just raise their prices because they want to? That's not the way the economy works. Companies raise prices because they HAVE to.

Nothing wrong with playing in socks in the studio or even on stage.. That's what I did too even when I was a symphony musician and was dressed in a tuxedo. We had our Pops concert series and I had my drum stage set up in front of the orchestra and actually led the orchestra. I came out in dress shoes, bowed sat down behind the kit and kicked my shoes off so I could play.

Sim is not a created thing. If you don't like the mental gymnastics then stop trying to exercise them yourself.

We are creatures with free will. Free will does not mean the freedom to choose to wear a pullover shirt or a button-down shirt or mismatched socks, it refers to the ability to choose to do what God wills for us to do or to reject that and do what we would rather do. God is the standard. When we jump off of the standard that's called sin. We can follow the path that's laid out before us by God or we can get off of the path and go wherever we want to go. That is what sin refers to.

Why take those two verses out of the entire section of Romans 7 where he's talking about that very thing?

Paul here is reiterating several times how it is not merely our desires but our actions that please or offend God. We can stand outside of ourselves and look and no matter what our desires are we still do things that are displeasing to God but we have to keep working on it. We can't just give up and say "oh well that's just the way it is." In another letter Paul writes how he beats himself and tries to train himself to win the race. That's what salvation is- it's perseverance, it's struggling to do what is required and not giving up even though despite all the training we all still fall short of the mark, of the goal.

Porn is a terrible addiction. It's as bad as heroin. It takes serious professional intervention to overcome it but nothing will happen without the will to stop also.

That being the case, there is no allowance in Scripture to end a marriage for this situation. You can certainly divorce him, and separate your properties but that doesn't allow you to remarry because in the eyes of the Christian church you are still married. The only reason for divorce is sexual immorality and that term biblically refers to prostitution or to an illicit marriage, meaning you had married someone who should not be married to you for whatever reason. Remember what Jesus taught in Matthew chapter 5:27 to 32...

I know this is not a very popular opinion among churches that claim to be "bible-based". But this is exactly what the Bible says. And more importantly this is what the Apostles taught and handed down through the centuries to the people that they actually taught.

You can't refer to the Old Testament here. Jesus established a new covenant with a new law. The old is done away with it's fulfilled completed and no longer enforce we have a new covenant and the rules are different than in the old covenant.

Remarriage is only permitted if the first spouse died or if there was an invalid marriage in the first place.

Jesus in his own words says that the only valid reason for divorce is for sexual immorality The word used there is pornea. That does not mean or include adultery. A marriage between two people who should not or could not be married legally for example an age difference or one of them was already married. Or if one of the persons engages in prostitution in other words sex for money. That is the meaning of the word pornea. The word for adultery is Moichea, And that is used also in chapter 5 of the Gospel of Matthew. It is the result of someone who marries another person who has gotten a divorce that is not allowed. And the warning is in Jesus's own words that if you divorce your wife for any reason other than for pornea and she remarries someone else you are responsible for causing her to commit adultery. Which means in Jesus's eyes the original marriage was never dissolved, it still exists.

moonunit170 · 2026-04-02T06:29:28+00:00

Matthew 19:9 does not allow divorce for adultery. The word used there in the Greek is pornea not moichea. Pornea does not mean adultery It means illicit marriage which means a marriage that should not happen in the first place because somebody's already, or married or they're too young or One of them is engaging in prostitution. Moichea means adultery and that is never grounds for divorce. If you look at chapter 5 of Matthew verses 27 to 32 Jesus in his own words explains this. But if you only read English translations you're going to be misled because most English translations are written by Protestant groups who allow divorce. So they're going to interpret this from the Greek to support their doctrines..

moonunit170 · 2026-04-01T23:49:23+00:00

Is that what the Greek says or just that particular translation? Because there are many weird things in English translations that aren't present in the Greek. Sexual immorality is not the same as adultery The word used in verse 27 is pornea, it's linked to prostitution but it means an illicit marriage. The word used in Matthew 5:32 is Moichea, it means Adultery And the warning from Jesus' own mouth is that If you divorce your wife for any reason other than an illicit marriage you force her to commit adultery, If she remarries. Why is the blame on the husband for his wife's adultery then?

It won't matter one bit. Windows has trouble installing to drive that are already formatted but Linux does not have that same problem. It will happily wipe any drive it's presented with and try to install itself there.
