hankie Everything User ID: 66849899 United States 01/30/2016 02:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I going to the wine and hookers only because you do not have to look for passages because it not of God but is all over the Old Testament and you got to change the name of what they called them. It is the oldest profession and men with wine differently was involved. Just because it is in the bible does not mean it is a good thing, it is an example of a bad thing and what happens when you do bad things. In the new testament, you could use Herod and his wife as an example, the one who cut of John the Baptist head. That was not his first wife and from The Word OF God out of Jesus mouth she would not be is wife. Sorry I got a headache These are the times that tries men's and women's souls! May we come though it victorious! |

Can that faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? 17 So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. |

Matthew 19:17 "Why do you ask me about what is good?" Jesus replied. "There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments." |

John Probably has multiple writers Where do you get that from? There is no indication that there were "multiple" writers of any of the gospels..... [link to www.rejectionofpascalswager.net] [link to thechurchoftruth.wordpress.com (secure)] Today the majority of scholars do not believe that John or any other eyewitness wrote it and trace it instead to a “Johannine community” which traced its traditions to John; the gospel itself shows signs of having been composed in three “layers”, reaching its final form about 90-100 AD.
