Matthew 19
4 “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’[a] 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? 6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
7 “Why then,” they asked, “did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?”
8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. 9 I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”
Ephesians 5:25-33
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.
28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church— 30 for we are members of his body. 31 “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” 32 This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
Romans 7:1-3
Released From the Law, Bound to Christ
1 Do you not know, brothers and sisters—for I am speaking to those who know the law—that the law has authority over someone only as long as that person lives? 2 For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law that binds her to him. 3 So then, if she has sexual relations with another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is released from that law and is not an adulteress if she marries another man.
1 Corinthians 7:2
2 But since there is so much immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband.
The New Testament is filled with so many passages against adultery.
But none against polygamy....which leads back to the other posters question....did god change its mind?....or does it have something to do with the hellenization that took place in the region and had been taking place sine the time of Alex the really awesome?

Canadians speak Arabic.
Very few. And not to a judge.

This is just plain wrong but its the result of cops not doing their jobs properly, not Islamification, whatever the hell that means.
And what exactly is the result of the cops not doing their job that would have prevented the assault my the muslim?
Perhaps we need an anti burkha law for them to enforce?
-
See what I mean?
You're just quoting the Old Testament. You don't even understand the connection between the Old and the New Testament.
Find one citation in the New Testament that forbids polygamy. Find one citation that forbids slavery.
Thanks

And?
What about the dozens that has been proven true?
What? arks?
Surely, of all people you should be the very last one to be critical about those achievements - considering your version of origin (including evolution) has yet to find its first proven unrefutable evidence!
You are in discontent mode....there is plenty of evidence for evolution....none for god murdering the inhabitants of sodom...
Well MDancer....I seem to get this message that - like the archeologist you quoted above - you don't seem to be too happy about digging with the Bible in hand? Even though they're giving out archeological results! Wanna loosen your collar?
Untrue...using ancient texts is a long and worthy tradition...the found Illium that way, thus proving the existence of Zeus...or...
Did they find Illium and only illium, the miracles of Zues? Well, that is the job of archaeologist to discover why the ancient Hellenes made up the myths....
I mean...I am all for finding eden....
-
Anyway, that's why it's so important to read the Bible so we do not get misled...or become easy prey to the devil's associates.
So why can't I have as many wives, concubines, slaves as:
Abraham?
Gideon?
Solomon?
Jacob?
Saul?
I mean...it in the bible?

What a load of nonsense
-
Because Afghanistan was sold as a war to liberate Afghan women.
No it wasn't. Never. I am sure there are some precious hearts who would like to believe that..instead of the truth. The mission was and is to remove the taliban from control.
It is however, a hoped for by product.
-
Actually, if I'm not mistaken there's an archeological dig going on which they say might be Noah's Ark, or something related to it. I don't know.....we have to wait and see I guess.
Keep your fingers crossed. If it turns out to be proof on our ark, then there's hope for yours.
There have been dozens of expeditions in the last 30 years..all led by christians...they have found dozens of piles of rocks.

I've eaten ground hog before. Tasted like the most tender roast beef! Not surprising, since the little bastards tend to feast only on the nicest vegetables in YOUR home garden!
You won't feed a large family on the roast, though.
Buddy of mine grew up near kingston on a farm. Like most farm boys, he was introduced to shooting at a younger age. So anyway, groundhogs, gophers, woodchucks...are vermin so in the tractor his father kept a .22
The stipulation he gave the 13 year old was, what ever you shoot, you clean, cook and eat.
He told me that after the 1st week of eating ground hog, the freezer was still filled with frozen ground hog....after a month if he saw a gound hog, he looked the other way.

It was once said "we are only one event from returning to the caves"....i use to laugh about that, until i joined the military and visted some of the worlds hot spots.....when your hungry you'll eat almost anything....
Even C-Rations

Why, does Vishnu and Shiva have an ark too?
If they do, it is every bit as real as noah's
-
There are scientists, and then there are pseudo-scientists you know. The same goes for archeologists.
Yes...how's the hunt for the ark working for you?
-
No sorry not even close. This whole "support the troops" slogan is a political wedge thats constantly used to browbeat opponents of a given government policy. Its not the same as recycling.
But if we need to completely ban ALL bumper stickers on government vehicles in order to avoid wasting time arguing about this kind of pointless retarded crap, then so be it.
It is entirely the same. The only difference is you do not like one of the messages.
-
They don't want the ancient lost-cities specifically mentioned in the Bible to get discovered...... so they can keep saying they're all just myths!
Who wrote that idiotic statement????
You seem to forget, they didn't find Sodom or Gomorrah...they found two cities whose destruction pre-date the mythic account.
You would be equally right to suggest they had found Atlantis
-
The poppy's meaning is clear enough that it doesn't need words on it.
If 'support' means 'honour' as you suggest, one wonders why they didn't say 'honour our troops' - which also would be more clear.
Because honour is too complex and not always understood...some people would think that they are asking far a star on the sidewalk or a trophy.
-
So you do support government propaganda for such things....why single out "troops" vs. "recycling"?
bingo
-
A Canadian flag or the words "Ministry of Environment" is not propoganda.
You may be confused about the definition of propoganda, so here it is: "Propaganda is a form of communication that is aimed at influencing the attitude of a community toward some cause or position so as to benefit oneself."
"Support the Troops" is propoganda.
Is it ok to put "Peace, not war" bumper stickers on gov't vehicles? It's a message that probably 90% of people would agree with....
Curious, you pasted the wiki definition but you don't seem to understand it....
-
I guess I don't. I thought some kind of message was involved, not just a symbol representing our nation.
Symbols are also messages...jung might suggest they are more powerful than words.
The 'Support of Troops' message is simple.
It means to honour them for the braverly and sacrifice...and yes, the poppy is propaganda too...
and flags are very propagandistic....

How is a Canadian Flag propaganda ?
If you have to ask how, then you don't know what propaganda is....
Hint: it isn't a message you don't like
-
Propoganda should not be placed on government fleet cars.
So no Canadian Flags or identifying logos either?
..or only "propaganda" you don't like?
.... those "smoke detectors saves lives" decals they have on fire trucks are propaganda....lets get rid of them

I don't like this kind of music, and I hate the idea of reducing a complex argument to a simple music video.
But in many ways, Canada is not a country. It is a geographic term, like the equator.
I do like this kind of music. I am particular to all music done well that is rooted in the scottish/irish traditions, even if it is in french.
I haven't really been exposed much to the Quebec music scene since I left back in the 80s...but back then I was partial to Beau Dommage, Harmonium....and later, even Mitsou!
Today I only know of a couple of indie montreal bands....The Hangers and Trip The Off.
Here's a couple that also lean heavily on the Scottish/Irish tradition...only in English
Not so different from your videos
...Canada, not so much a country, it's a living tradition
-
I don't see how the borders are entirely defined by use of the French language. Much of nothern Quebec doesn't even speak French. And, for some reason, the Quebec government still considers Labrador to be a part of Quebec, when, as far as I know, French is a minority language there.
Quite right. Most of Quebec up to 1912 was either part of the NWT or the district of Ungava.
And if Canada can be divided, so can Quebec. I fail to see how, if the peoples of Ungava (read first nations) wanted to separate from Quebec, how Quebec could stop them.

FACT: ARCHEOLOGY SHOWS EVIDENCE THAT THE BIBLE PROVIDES AN ACCURATE EYEWITNESS ACCOUNT OF EVENTS THAT OCCURRED SOUTHEAST OF THE DEAD SEA OVER 4,000 YEARS AGO.

And now the sane version....
Sodom and Gomorrah Update Volume 49 Number 4, July/August 1996by Andrew L. Slayman
Two geologists think they know how the infamous biblical cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed. Graham Harris and Tony Beardow argue in the Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology that the land near the Dead Sea on which the cities may have stood literally liquefied in an earthquake, swallowing them up ca. 1900 B.C. A similar event, in which loosely packed, waterlogged soils liquefy under seismic force, destroyed an area of nearly 30,000 square miles in China in 1920. Harris and Beardow admit that the "analysis of a past earthquake event, especially one for which there is a lack of data, or even credible eyewitness accounts, is difficult," particularly "when the event is speculative and occurred in the dawn of history." But they suggest that a tidal wave caused by the earthquake might have stranded a large block of salt on shore, inspiring the tale that Lot's wife, ignoring God's command not to look back at the burning cities, was turned into a pillar of salt. Few scholars are likely to believe this hypothesis. "This is Noah's Ark stuff," says ARCHAEOLOGY Contributing Editor Neil Asher Silberman. "The real challenge for biblical archaeologists today is not to search for long-lost cities, but to understand why the ancient Israelites formulated these powerful myths."

Umm...no you didn't. And a zero for effort vis a vis slavery.
