lost and found do me a big favor and dont diminish the compliment i gave st matt, thanks, and by the way, most of the people on here no i am a man, dont let the name fool you, bless you too, thanks, dt
Never tried to diminish anything about STMATTHEW. If you'll read, I complimented his attitude several times before you posted your comment. I just tried to answer what was said.
I always did think you were a man from your writing style. Thanks though for the clarification!
ADDED: Now I see it. I called you "Sister." Sorry! TYPO!!

As to the ongoing “I” problem: here is what I originally said and why I said it:

Paul wasn't specific, except to say that if a man doesn't provide (this is an action verb here), he is worse than an infidel. I don't believe Paul was just referring to monetary commitment by the man to his family. Men do that all the time but don't care for their families in any other way. I call them 'deadbeat dads', even if they do pay the child support.
Men are not admonished to care for others the same way they provide for their own.

Sorry, but your opinion just does not carry as much weight as Paul's CONTEXT. Remember, in biblical hermeneutics, context is KING.
The no-scripture-needed crowd always use "I think, "I believe," "I think," “could be” or “PERHAPS” when describing private interpretations of Scripture. Where does such a process agree with "rightly diving the WORD of GOD"?
This will show the CONTEXT of what was actually said. I hope this now puts these misquotes to rest.

. . . You folks that can figure out how to blow some robbers brains out and love him at the same time can have at it. . . .
Does God love sinners?
What happens to them if they do not do what He wants?
"While we were YET sinners..." "God so loved THE WORLD...." So, YES He does!
The question is not about God; it's about what He asks us to do. God is the One with the responsibility to bring vengeance, not man.
Vengeance is God's. But God is just. God executes His own judgments, and he also asks men to execute judgments on His behalf. If a sinner man (the assailant) is standing right where an Apostolic happens to be fixin' to shoot, who is to say that God's slow but sure judgment is not slated to be meted out that day? It's in God's nature to judge and punish wrongdoing. It's in God's nature to provide the needs and spare from harm His righteous.
God's judgment has been demonstrated to be pretty severe, on occasion, when His mercy has been used up.

It's was done when all those who believe as he does were labeled "infidels." No names were included when this was said, but no names were omitted either.
Oh brother! Talk about taking something completely out of context!!!!
I don't know about anyone else, but I said a man that doesn't provide is worse than an infidel, and I said this included protection. How you got that I called anyone on this forum an infidel is beyond me......unless they aren't providing protection to their families, and if that's the case, I stand by what I said.
And if you want to get technical, were you including everyone on this forum when you were being sarcastic about those who mention 'I think' or 'I believe' or 'perhaps' in their posts, as you did with me?

It's all fun and games until somebody loses an i.
L&F I do rightly discern and declare that folks understood you yet have nevertheless availed themselves of this passage for the express purpose of funnin' you. And, as you probably already know, we only tease family.
Be careful with this gun stuff or you'll shoot your i out ! ! !

no problem i have my opinion you have yours, contrary to what a couple of people have said, respect isnt earned on line, because we dont really know each other, so i choose to give that to people and i simply expect it in return. Trust me i am a man of peace, but still a man, lol, take care bro,dt
It is so hard to convey emotion and humor in posts. If we all were in a room talking, I am sure we would be surprised how differently we would think of one another. I love people, including those of differing opinion. I do not believe that we all have to agree to get along. I do believe that we all do need to get along though.
I have found one of the best ways to test the soundness of a doctrine is to test it against a person who disagrees. If your doctrine stands up to their opposition, then it just may be a biblical Truth. But if it fails, then a person needs to restudy and change to what the Bible actually does say. I have been proven wrong before, and I did change. I pray I always posses such readiness.
God bless you BROTHER!
