How Our Beliefs Add To Our Worry

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Aug 29, 2017

Contributed by Ken Henson on Sep 23, 2017

I don’t accept the often, to me, lame attempts to somehow explain this passage away and act like the Bible, properly interpreted, has a 21st century view of marriage. It doesn’t. I think the biblical view is beautiful, but it is very much not modern.

Ladies, how does this make you feel? You ok with this? Are you immediately thinking of reasons for exceptions? What if ...read more
