HOW JULIUS CAESAR CHANGED NEW YEAR

Why does the new year now begin in the coldest month of the year? Shouldn't it begin in Spring when the when the hours of daylight begin to be longer than the hours of darkness? Well... it always had been that way until Julius Caesar added 67 days to the year in 46 B.C. The Julian calendar actually ...

Re: Are cousins allowed to get married?

Thank you for sharing this, Dwight.
You are an honest man, and don't mind admitting that you found OT examples of cousins marrying.
I truly respect your honesty. The fact of your honesty induces me to pay more attention to your words.

Re: Are cousins allowed to get married?

Paul, don't be concerned about my conflict with Dwight on this topic. As far as I know, there is NO issue upon which we agree.

However, i assure you, Paul, that there is nothing in the Bible that forbids marriage between cousins.

Re: Are cousins allowed to get married?

Upon further study, I think I'm changing my mind on this. I'm thinking the scripture DOES prohibit first cousins from marrying. Leviticus 18:6 says: "None of you shall approach any BLOOD RELATIVE of his to uncover nakedness; I am the Lord. " All translations I have consulted, except one (23 of them...

The Meaning of apeitheō

The one who entrusts [himself] into the Son has lasting life, but the one who is not persuaded (apeitheō) to the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God [continues to] remain on him. The above is my translation of John 3:36. I added the words in square brackets for clarification. I am puzzled c...

Re: Jesus is God

Go back to it. No one is preventing you. But I think it is futile, for the apostle Paul made it clear that there is ONE God, and that God is the Father, and that Jesus is someone other than God, John wrote that Jesus is the only-begotten son of God. John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt amon...

Yes, I know there are U.S. laws against marrying cousins.
But there is no such law in Canada where I live.

Re: Are cousins allowed to get married?

The Greek word "ανεψιος" that occurs only once in the New Testament, is translated as "cousin" in at least 12 translations. For example: Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, with Mark the cousin of Barnabas (about whom you received instructions: if he comes to you, welcome him. (Colossians 4:1...

Re: Jesus is God

Why do you call them added books? Just because they are not in the Protestant Bible?
Those who use the Orthodox Bible would call them subtracted books—subtracted from the Protestant Bible.
