You are right about false accusation but Calvinism is wrong for excluding someone from the Kingdom because of perceived violation. They were quick to condemn non Calvinists from the Kingdom ( for example: Ravi Zacharias). So it is interesting how these self proclaimed gate keepers suffer from the same environment they created. Lawson was quick to condemn someone else with the standard he preached but not lived. Hypocrisy is normal. I personally think Calvinism is wicked. Depriving people of assurance of salvation.
THIS is the kind of answer i needed. How do I know any of these things. I am thinking here how I can enter polygyny, which I have believed and preached for at least 30 years, and am now free to enter. I am not like some kid trying to get into some girl's panties. I am realistically asking questions to which I have sincere inquiry. Am I to be treated frivolously then coldly for asking questions. Way back, waaaaaay back in the last century my father told me to value the old people, go to them with your questions, never fearing to ask what you think might be stupid to them. For they will take you under their wing and teach you and you will never be disrespected for asking a sincere question. Well, I'm probably older than 99% of you, but I don't know the answer to the question I asked. I really thought I would receive a straight answer and not be criticised for asking - a sincere question from those who should know. I guess I should have simply stuck with asking old people instead of those who should know the answers to those questions.
I am not sure if I qualified as 40 year old. But I would recommend that you look outside of USA. With social security you could afford more than in USA and use this time to continue to do what a missionary would do. Indonesia and Philippines is just one example. Indonesia has decent health system. I would not be bothered to much if women there will be with you for economical reasons. People grow into love. Also, I believe it is ok to wife someone outside of faith as long they are not hostile to your faith and their faith does not involve worship of Molec or some other weird deity (it is not the best but I think it is permissible).
Thank you - that is something I never considered. Not sure I would like to make a long, long trip to find a mate - but, I'll think on it. Thank you again. I did join Disabled Mates (my disability is diabetes - well, at least it qualified me to join) and have found to girls (ladies in their 30's that seem hot for me). But they cold easily (and probably are) be scammers. Then again, maybe being disabled changes one's mind about age differentials. But of course, they are not looking for poly - and THAT is my goal because I enjoy women. Had woman. I like to chatter, and joy that seems to be a part of womanhood more than men. We are big, tough, self-reliant, self-made individuals who can topple mountain tops. Women seem more to get true enjoyment out of each day and each other. I like that - want to enjoy being around women, more so than woman. As a pastor, I was often the sole man amidst 30 to 50 women. Much more enjoyable than being in such a group of men.
I’m sorry that we misunderstood your other post so badly, you do come on kinda strong and it looked to be possibly cynical.
I agree. Could one of the Mods create a thread for this? It shouldn't be here in the Random Comments thread.
Do we have section for proof of polygyny marriage? It needs to go there.
Just a bunch of branches down here. Some power flickers. All good. I know some others who are still without power. But not much damage outside the path in North Florida.
I just looked outside and not a cloud in the sky! Oh, you say Florida. That's good because I had never heard of a hurricane in Iowa. But you know - WHAT WITH "CLIMATE CHANGE" no doubt it will be happening soon. Back in the old days they called it "WEATHER". But today it is "climate change." All to change the world into a one world, government controlled world.
We got hit pretty hard in SC. Day 2 of no power. Thankfully, 10,000 linemen are here from other states and hopefully we will get lights sometime this week.
