i'm a bit confused.
i saw in cognac's thread that she used this scripture regarding something having to do with fornication.
i haven't been keeping up.
In answer to the secondary question, asked by coolhandluke, the statement in the scripture in question "behaving improperly" would mean leading her on, without having sexual union and consumating the marriage. Either let her free to find another suitor, or make a go of it, quit being lukewarm be hot or cold. Put up or shut up so to speak.

I didn't see the thread in question, but the scripture you question (1 Cor 7:36) states:
"If anyone thinks he is acting improperly toward the virgin he is engaged to, and if she is getting along in years and he feels he ought to marry, he should do as he wants. He is not sinning. They should get married."
In biblical terms, "marriage" is the act of becoming one flesh, sexual union through intercourse. As pointed out in this scripture, this is not to be taken casually or lightly, but after getting to know one another well enough (engagement) to commit a lifetime to the union of the man and the woman. One would be practicing fornication or adultery if after that union, they had intercourse with another who was not their mate.
The confusion comes from the modern day practice of "legal" marriage, which is actually not a scriptural requirement, as a Christian's "yes" should mean yes, and "no" means no. In contrast, in scriptural terms, once a female and male have sexual intercourse, they are scripturally "married". So it is possible to be legally married without being scripturally so, and vice-versa.

Carrion.
Especially when the weather is warm and you're downwind.
BA- Put 'em in the freezer before they rot, I say.
i don't know why but i like watching men work on building stuff (except one day kingdumb h's).
there is precision involved, there's muscle invoved, creative talent.
to think that the greedy wt$ would always take advange of very talented young men for free to further it's own bottom line.
Yep, seeing the work of our hands come to fruition is very rewarding. I have always enjoyed building, and have skill in many trades. I own a construction company so it comes in handy. I believe I own at least one of most known tools, and many I have numerous types and styles of for the particular job at hand, kinda like Norm Abrams. I could probably earn enough income selling my tools on ebay to live off of for at least a year. Thank God for cordless tools, they are a joy to work with, provided you've got a good stock of batteries and chargers in use. It's always fun to work outdoors, that's my preference, but on occasion it's nice to work inside, especially when it's cold and windy outside. Side benefits are it helps keep ya in shape and provides a nice tan to boot, at least in the warm months.

my wife and i were having an interesting discussion about some of the debates that take place on the board here .
now, granted most people , i feel upwards of 90 % on the board maybe higher try to be respectful in their debates or discussions on topics.
i think we all had enough bashing in the witness organization.
lol...a complete accident I assure you, as accidental as BA's birth in fact. ;)

Sheesh, what a plonker!!
"O Lord, may I never want to look good. O Jesus, may I always read it all: out loud and the very way it should be. May I never look at the other findings until I have come to my own true conclusions: May I care for the least of the young: and become aware of the one poem that each may have written; may I be aware of what each thing is, delighted with form, and wary of the false comparison; may I never use the word "brilliant." — Theodore Roethke
BA- Lol at poor hiney_spider, too caught up in the adulation of his obsequious flatulence inhalers to know when he's been exposed as the poser, the charlatan, the hack that he is...

Indeed. It reminds of that song that goes: "You say it best when you say nothing at all." Here's to hoping all the rest of hillary's posts are as devoid of hatred and insults as the above.
Perhaps hillary's finally learning to "play nice", lol.
BA- Lulz.
on tuesday, a 29-year-old on his way to pick up his parents at the local airport became involved in an automobile accident.
when police arrived he became uncooperative and so they stunned him with a taser gun.
now he's dead.. there have been other recent reported deaths associated with the use of a taser.
Burn,
Well put. I couldn't have said it any better. The plan seems to be to create an unneccesarily large, and ever-growing law enforcement, judicial, and penal / "corrections" system. Make new laws that ever increase what is "illegal", so that the corrupt system can justify arresting what previously would have been considered law-abiding citizens. This allows the justification to raise taxes, to pay for more cops, judges, bailiffs, stenographers, corrections officers, and the buildings that must "neccessarily" be built off taxpayers backs. And lets not forget the "need" for more lawyers (liars) to "defend" and prosecute the "gulty" (anyone who resists the police state). Not to mention prison construction contractors, cooks, maintenance workers, etc, etc, etc. Heck, it's "good for the economy", lol. Now we're "safer", with all those "criminals" behind bars.
BA- End of rant.

Did anyone have a look at that you-tube video that I posted and if anyone did what did you think ?
They were only trying to help, as in: "we're from the govmint, and we're here to help you".
Ba- Unbelievable.

Allow me to put my "Karnak" hat on here:
I predict that if law enforvcement is allowed to continue using tasers, it won't be long before we see suspects shooting cops rather than stopping. When it's a matter of life or death, which it has been made clear it is, we will see an escalation of violence towards law enforcement, not the non-resistance they think taser use will bring.
BA- Takes Karnak hat off.

I am not sure if you are aware that your post is directed at a person who has raised more hell on this Board in recent months that most anybody else and has 'name-called' to his hearts content on numerous threads....lol
Pot calls kettle black, anyone? This from the originator of some of the most insightful (sarcasm) posts ever to grace the pages of JWD.
