And many work for all of mankind no matter in what time they were living. I would be in a world of hurt if I began sobbing over how much of the Bible has nothing to do with me.Plus i think many of the rules in the bible were for a tribe that existed many years ago.
Mohar, or a bride's price. In Jewish culture the groom's family paid a bride's price even when rape was not an issue. In other words, raping a girl and being forced to marry her did not get the young man out of paying a bride's price.Like the bible mentions stuff such as raping a virgin and getting away with it by paying the girl's father some coin.
Always go back to the original language when possible.that the word "armageddon" is actually a corruption of a Hebrew word meaning har məgiddô

Well sure, because they knew nothing about anything. The top sientists and mathematicians of the world were grappling with inventing the concept of "zero" , a round earth, and a solar cetric model of our solar system. These are things the average 5 year old understands today. If this was the cutting edge of the tiny intellectual elite of the planet 3000 years ago, imagine the crazy stuff the average illiterate goat herder believed.I heard that back in the olden days they believed that stuff could be cured by leeches and bloodletting and if someone sailed too far they would fall off the world.
Medieval Bloodletting and the Four Humors
In the later Middle Ages, with the rise of universities and cathedral schools in urban areas across Europe, regulated organizations began to professionalize the trade of the surgeon or barber-surge…

It took another 2500 years to finally accept that the earth revolved about the sun, despite the fact that ALL the tools were available 2000 years ago to definitvely prove this. One doesn't have to be a top historian to understand what stunted human development for millennia: religion.
Created to live for 30 years and to die from infection and from our teeth. What a poor designer.Created male and female. The devil is the author of confusion.
Does'nt the Bible say money is the root of all evil?Those TV preachers who preach against LGBT people while pocketing money are gonna be in big trouble if Jesus ever comes back.
Jesus said himself that rich people suck.
Bible Gateway passage: Matthew 6:24 - English Standard Version
“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.www.biblegateway.com
Does'nt the Bible say money is the root of all evil?
Love of money is the root of all evil. (1 Timothy 6:10)Does'nt the Bible say money is the root of all evil?
Which looks nice embroidered on a pillow, but which is clearly false.Love of money is the root of all evil. (1 Timothy 6:10)
Nope. The Bible says "the LOVE of money is the root of all evil. Probably 90% of the population misquote that verse. Money isn't evil. Rich people aren't evil. People who love money are evil.
It's not about hair, but about sexual arousal and gratification by dressing in the underwear and clothes of the opposite sex. I doubt the man kneeling is doing it in order to perform oral sex, but adoring Jesus for his return.Really not seeing the same thing looking into Corinthians 11:14-16.
I'm not a New Test. scholar for sure.. But this whole discussion is about EXPECTIONS for men and women. No where NEAR a discussion of "gender" but of biological foundations of the 2 sexes.
And the concept that men with long hair "is a disgrace" is NOT ANYTHING that EVER made an impression on Christians in ANYWHERE in history.. Certainly NOT in the roots of Hebrew history either. Not very influential verses it seems.
Like please explain THIS pic below.

Klinger?Doubt you'll find anything about "genders" in the Bible. Wasn't until the character Radar on Mash the TV show that most Americans even THOUGHT about "gender".. Guess you'll have to look up Radar on Mash to get that humor... LOL...
