You are making it up that God doesn't hate it for men and women to wear each other's clothes.
If your wife's friends clothes are that unrecognizable as men's, then why don't they just wear clothes made for women?
hahahahaaaa I didn't think about it being a slang from the hippie generation. I'm not quite old enough for that. Help me out here, what could have I said instead of 'right on'? I guess 'sounds good' would have sounded good. I'm just not cool for any generation. lol
I'll go check out the...
Judas knew the law that one who sheds innocent blood is to be put to death.
However, the chief priests and elders of the law wanted Jesus put to death, so they are not going to have Judas put to death.
Judas did to himself what the law required.
Arsenios,
The law is given from God to Moses.
Chief priest and elders were set in place.
There were certain things that a person had to do to atone for themselves.
There were no rituals to do for the shedding of innocent blood, except to be put to death.
When David had innocent blood shed...
You are saying that repentance had to do with suicide.
The Bible does not say that.
Judas went to the chief priests and elders to and gave back the money.
That was his repentance.

How can you still say that after I gave scriptures saying we receive faith by being taught, persuaded, and convinced?
We are not enabled to believe. All...
Same one and only good news. Same one and only gospel that saves.
That is what was preached before Paul!
That is just too strange a thing to say. You give Paul some different and better teaching than Jesus who say to believe in him.
It's not Paul's gospel as opposed to Jesus' gospel...
Faith is from God, from reading His powerful message, the Bible, the New Testament. It has the powerful message that saves. We do not get faith supernaturally, as many teach, but we get faith in a very human way, from reading the supernatural message!
We must have knowledge of God to have faith...
...but, Lutherans and Calvinists teach that God makes people alive with the Holy Spirit before they believe.
But what does Jesus says?
Jesus says to believe and then receive the Holy Spirit.
I think Paul would have rebuked the people. Just look at what Paul said to the people when he heard that some were saying they had favorite apostles.
And, look at what Peter said when Cornelius prostrated himself when Peter came into his house; yet, Eastern Orthodox Catholics prostrate...
That is about circumcision in the flesh.
This is where you need to understand that the word to use is 'natural'.
The NATURAL MAN is about a man who only wants to please his flesh.
Romans Romans 8:9:11 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness...
