When 2 Christians say they are Dating One another Does that mean they are Sleeping together?

[Admon Mikha'el]

I have a NKJ. What do you use?

Looks like we're going to have to give this a rest -- we're going to fast for 'them' to be able to keep up. I was just given 18 seconds at least before responding.

LOL Who is 'them'? The sons of God?

Context matters this is a quote of Matt Henry

The two epistles to Timothy, and that to Titus, contain a scripture-plan of church-government, or a direction to ministers. Timothy, we suppose, was an evangelist who was left at Ephesus, to take care of those whom the Holy Ghost had made bishops there, that is, the presbyters, as appears by Act_20:28, where the care of the church was committed to the presbyters, and they were called bishops. It seems they were very loth to part with Paul, especially because he told them they should see his face no more (Act_20:38); for their church was but newly planted, they were afraid of undertaking the care of it, and therefore Paul left Timothy with them to set them in order. And here we have the character of a gospel minister, whose office it is, as a bishop, to preside in a particular congregation of Christians:

Posting Matt Henry because he says things much better then i do.. Do you agree @Admon Mikha'el that the verses i will post are about setting up the church authority ?
Qualifications for Overseers <<<<< that is a headline from the KJV
1Ti 3:1 This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
1Ti 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
1Ti 3:3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
1Ti 3:4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
1Ti 3:5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
1Ti 3:6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
1Ti 3:7 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

Qualifications for Deacons<<<<< that is a headline from the KJV
1Ti 3:8 Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;
1Ti 3:9 Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
1Ti 3:10 And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.
1Ti 3:11 Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.
1Ti 3:12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
1Ti 3:13 For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

Do you believe those are the God given qualifications for the positions ?

Do you believe the Scriptures as written?

1Cor 5:9 I wrote you in the epistle not to mingle with fornicators;
5:10 not at all meaning with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous and extortioners, or with idolaters; since ye must then go out of the world:
5:11 but now I write you not to mingle with, if any that is named a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with the such no, not to eat.
5:12 For what have I to do with judging those without? Do not YE judge those within,
5:13 and those without God judgeth? Put away the wicked man from among yourselves.

1Thess 4:2 For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus.
4:3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality;
4:4 that each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honour,
4:5 not in the passion of lust like the Gentiles who do not know God;

 

[Waggles]

Galatians 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality,
5:20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions,
5:21 envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

 

[Waggles]

Why are there 9 pages of debate??
The word of God is clear, precise and self explanatory.

Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
5:28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.

Reba One of the reasons why this subject is so contentious is translation I agree with the Word...I cannot always agree with the translators...I mean...they've even left words untranslated....

sure ya did here is one of your translations .. .

"Genesis 6:1 "And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, 2That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. 3And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. 4There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown."

Yes! The fallen angels kidnapped and raped any human woman they wanted, married or single. The bred with these women and giants and other Nephil resulted....The offspring was NOT human....I'm sure you understand that? Notice that the Word says " "5 Adonai saw that the people on earth were very wicked, that all the imaginings of their hearts were always of evil only. 6 Adonai regretted that he had made humankind on the earth; it grieved his heart. " He said 'people', not 'man'. People includes angels...
"7 Adonai said, “I will wipe out humankind, whom I have created, from the whole earth; and not only human beings, but animals, creeping things and birds in the air; for I regret that I ever made them.”" Why did God regret that he had made man? 9 Here is the history of Noach. In his generation, Noach was a man righteous and wholehearted; Noach walked with God." Noah was perfect in his
