Yet another indicator that you are so wrong in your attitude towards this issue we have been discussing. You came and posted with a cavalier bravado and started to swagger around spouting off at the mouth. You were rebuked, and it stung (hence your embarrassment) instead of making it right you decided to continue your immature behavior. Should you own a weapon of self-defense? Free country, but you don't live in a state that allows you the luxury to kill an attacker. Florida was the first to initiate the "stand your ground law" in 2004, and Mississippi voted against a deadly force for self-defense law. The state of Wisconsin also has no such law of "stand your ground,” and so you with your nickel plated .44 you would blow a gaping wound through your angry Missippian, you would have had to face some pretty heavy charges.
So no apology huh preacher lady?
See the headlines “Wisconsin female preacher’s husband sets up unarmed man to be shot to death on their front porch.” Sister you are the one, who dropped the watermelon, have your husband apologize for your behavior.
Oh the irony, trying to scold her for her immaturity.
Praxeas PROJECTING again sir?

Please, respect is earned DT, and all this tough guy macho mess is sickening.
We are Apostolics, holiness, followers of Jesus Christ, and your youth leader is bragging about having her husband set some guy up to meet his gun-toting wife at their front door? Who's youth is this Sister leading? I don't know her? I see what she was writing. It's pretty clear to me and some others that it's pretty unorthodox behavior for a preacher, let alone a female preacher.
DT, don't defend her actions she is wrong.
Respect IS earned. More irony. Also, the "tough guy macho" stuff...are you saying this of everyone or just this woman? Is it ok for men to put on the tough guy macho act too? Because I see nothing but verbal posturing going on and hardly the meek and humble discussions of someone that does not have the tough guy macho mas macho attitude.
unorthodox behavior for a preacher...yes more irony...lol

Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
If I had to choose between the two for 'maturity', 'orthodox preacher' and someone just posturing with their macho mas macho "tough guy" attitude....I'd choose her.
She seems less immature, more meek in her posting style, less abrasive and does not seem to have the macho mas macho attitude you have...despite the fact she has a gun and you don't.

DT, you need to talk to the youth leader. Maybe you couldn't speak to her.
She posted this on the thread;
What was your responce to the above?

I saw you disappear after Brother Matthew challenged you. We were given a rest. You have a problem with me then deal with it in a PM. I’ve gone round and round with you and it goes nowhere. Why? Because of your constant PROJECTING of your own behavior on others. IRONY? Please.
Brother Matthew tagged you quick and you shrank away and that told me allot.
Brother Praxeas if you have nothing reasonable to present and just want to fight? Wouldn’t that be MORE IRONY? Walking contradiction Praxeas?

There are men on this forum who do this to women on this forum. Benni is one of those men.

Heavenly One she's wrong. Oh, the guy HAD a gun? So her husband tells the guy to go to the house where's she at? Oh that's Christian? You Brothers and Sisters are looking really wrong. I can totally understand sticking up for your friends, and backing them up when they drop the watermelon. Alas in this case your ship is sinking. You need to leave it alone.

Good question. My answer: Joseph was better than blindly following a law that he saw as too harsh. That Joseph actually disobeyed this law, apparently with God's blessing, is interesting. Joseph was still under the old covenant, so he literally disobeyed that law. Or was the new covenant already beginning to take effect, years before the cross?
But, that's not what I was asking. I wasn't asking about the law -- which OT laws we should obey, which ones we can ignore, etc. I asked about your post saying that Jesus is our example in all things. Is Jesus, even in the OT, our example in all things? I don't see an OT example for Joseph to follow in deciding to disobey that law. How did he know it was better to show mercy on Mary than have her killed?
Timmy, you are not answering this. Of course this IS about Jesus. My question concerns His birth. This came from His OT plan. Look again. You need to look up what the Law and the Law Giver--Jesus--said about the Law. Look again, Timmy.
