Scriptures or not scripture is the question?
Joel:
The way I see it Rick, the scriptures you are having issues with are in keeping with other similar scriptures, and can also be a second witness that gives us a better understanding.
1st Timothy 6:1-Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed.
2-And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.
Those scriptures in Hebrews, and Romans fit well with the 6th chapter of 1st Timothy.
Joel
judy:
Rick, God is omnipotent, everywhere at every time, in His kingdom and out of it working in unbelievers and believers. He is the final Word, now whether you accept things you don't like is irrelevant, there are reasons known only to God. Perhaps you conceive something as bad but down the line it was for the good. His ways are not our ways, this is hard, not for those who just came to Christ and still need the milk of consolation. Remember we are nothing and our intellect only goes so far. All this reminds me of Job. That sure wasn't a pretty scene. God is either who He is or it's all a lie. He appoints those whom he wants, simple but hard, if you disagree, then disagree, you are every bit entitled to do. When I came on here years ago there were somethings I just couldn't accept at the time but looking back I see I was just locked into my own thoughts and strongholds. I wish for you to pass over subjects you are not ready for but to hang in here and eat what you can digest for now but don't throw the baby out with the bathwater, please, with love, judy

Hi Kat,
Like many others in America I知 seeing and hearing things on the news that cannot be of God, I知 sure you heard recently about the women arrested and jailed for not granting a marriage license to a gay couple.
Does God command us to obey and adhere to this garbage ?
God bless.

There are some things I would like to say to help me with my understanding however the conversation would turn political which as you know is not going to happen on this forum.
I feel my hands are tied behind my back on this forum with this topic so I found another forum where I can explore the things of God and my understanding of scripture without condemnation.
Thanks anyways Alex.
God bless.

Again Rick - Why did you not simply PM Alex? Why do you feel the need to complain publicly? It reminds me of my three year old granddaughter when she doesn't get her own your way.
No one is condemning you. You agreed to follow the rules when you joined this forum. You need to keep your word.

Hi Dennis,
Why do you feel as thought I知 complaining ? I made a factual statement to Alex and in so doing have I not kept my word ?
God bless.

There is nothing to discuss about this, an elected public official (who has taken the oath of the office they were elected to) must uphold the state's laws. All that business that is going on that you mentioned is none of my concern, it is for those with their interests tangled up in these news events.
The government is what it is and God has brought it all about just as it is by His sovereignty, I have NO objection to how He sees fits for this age to operate.
mercy, peace and love
Kat
