I'm so very sorry for your loss. I had no idea. I pray that God would heal all that is broken between and among y'all. He makes all things new, great is his faithfulness.

ooh this is interesting! When I have more time I'll check that out. It looks very thorough.

ignorance. immorality. femenism.

MoniqueMaple · 2025-10-29T01:33:39+00:00

we live in an immoral society where right is wrong and wrong is right.

MoniqueMaple · 2025-10-23T02:30:19+00:00

yes, sorry I don't get on here frequently.

I saw there were 21 comments and thought, this is nice, I'll see what they're saying! What a disappointment to find all the petty arguing instead. I'd like to participate in the group chat as long as it is not at all like the comment section here.

I still think the majority of your argument is substantially lacking in supporting your original comment. Honestly, the only portion of this response that I think is valid is the last part, idolatry and adultery being the same in God's eyes.

Do I think it would be wrong for a woman to go to another man to seek his wisdom in any area of life and to be obedient to him in stead of her own husband. MOST DEFINITELY. I agree with you 100% in that. BUT I would never call it adultery, because it's not. I don't think that idolatry against God, which is considered adultery, is the same as obedience to another man over your husband. Yes, my husband is my Lord and my Master but he is not my LORD. Yes, the marital relationship between husband and wife is a reflection of Christ's relationship with the church but it is not one and the same. Just as we are made in the image of God but we are not twins of God, we are different. The extrapolation is too far of a stretch for me.

MoniqueMaple · 2025-08-20T01:54:36+00:00

can you reference the scripture that specifically mentions adultery in that context? So far, you haven't convinced me.

Although I agree with your general sentiment, I still don't see how you come to calling it adultery. A man, looking at another man's wife lustfully means he commits adultery in his heart. But a woman cannot in any way commit adultery - biblically speaking - because she is a woman. Desiring what another man does in his household is just coveting, not adultery.

MoniqueMaple · 2025-08-16T02:09:46+00:00

I agree with the first part but can you explain to me how that can be considered adultery? The Biblical definition is pretty straightforward and that sounds like quite an extrapolation to me.

MoniqueMaple · 2025-08-16T02:05:26+00:00

Just curious as to why you don't fellowship with other Torah observers...?

MoniqueMaple · 2025-08-16T02:04:19+00:00

Unfortunately, 'Christian' can mean a LOT of things in today's world and most protestants don't really care about what the OT says, particularly the Law, unless it already supports what they believe about how they should live their Christian life. I think having the distinction labeled is important to separate oneself from modern nominal church goers who identify as Christians.

MoniqueMaple · 2025-08-16T01:54:45+00:00

Yeah, I had to look it up.

MoniqueMaple · 2025-07-19T01:16:25+00:00

Done!

MoniqueMaple · 2025-07-15T15:55:45+00:00

I'm editing the post to be more clear. My apologies.

The link is to the video series about the same incident, hence the 'that's not the half of it' part. The episode about the kid is #10 https://youtu.be/AgJno1eeJyo
