Not likely. It's probley your environment is too dry. Or you pick your nose too much!

No. This is a very strict interpretation of "flee youthful lusts". There are many cultures that do carry this level of non-intimacy, it was very well portrayed during the time Michael Corleone was in Sicily. Also, in Bible days, there was no interaction at all before completion of the marriage ceremony.\n\nBut to specifically answer your question, no it is not addressed in the Bible.

Yes,\n\n"So whatever you wish that men would do to you, do so to them; for this is the Law and the prophets." Matthew 7:12

Making fun of a bald prophet...\n\nHey, it's in the book...\n\nIsn't it interesting that a Buddhist can recognize a Biblical allusion while several Christians cannot?

Read the book below.  It will open your eyes to a new way of looking at the Bible.\n\nExample:  how Jesus said not to try and take the speck out of someone else's eye when you have a plank in yours.  Picture in your mind how it would look.  It's a funny analogy he is making!

In Rev. 13:18, it says, "This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666." That's the source for it. It also says in v. 16-17 that that mark will be placed on everyone because we will not be able to buy or sell without it. Basically a tracking system. In fact, the entirety of Chapter 13 is about satan and him coming to enslave the world.\n\nAnd why are you embarrassed to talk about it with your Bible teacher?  That's his/her job. If they intimidate you perhaps you need to find a new Bible study group. Just a thought.

you mean like in Song of Solomon? I can't think of any other passages that would turn you on....anyway, I don't think it's ok to get aroused by the bible!

Yes, and excited! I love the parable of "The Ten Virgins" in Matthew. It tells how you should be ready. And this is my favorite verse, Revelation 21:4-5, "He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away. He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.""

DEFINITELY!!!\n\nWe are told in Matthew that we are turned over to the tormentors\nwhen we refuse to forgive. \n\nPeace of mind is impossible, if we are holding unforgiveness in our hearts.

If you spell it master bait, the dirty word filter lets it pass. This is in Genesis 38:\n\n8: And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother. \n9: And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother. \n10: And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also. \n\nYou can take it two ways. Way #1, Onan spilled his seed (semen) on the ground because he didn’t want to pork his brother’s wife. He paid the price. Master baiting is a sin.\n\nWay #2 requires some background. \n\nWhen my kids were small I would tell them not to do something; for instance, "Don’t touch that!". They would, of course, touch it. If they didn’t get a 440-volt shock or break it, they figured "no harm, no foul". I figured they should do what I told them to do, even if they didn’t see the reason behind it. So, I would give them a time out. They didn’t think I was fair.\n\nWay #2 says look, it doesn’t matter what Onan did, he didn’t do what Judah TOLD him to do. Obedience was the key to the story. Disobedience was the sin, not the master baiting.\n\nFundamentalists focus on the act itself. If Judah had told Onan to use a fork for his fried chicken instead of his fingers, and Onan had used his fingers, there would be an awful lot of Baptists eating chicken with forks at church picnics today.\n\nLike much of the Bible, you can take it several ways. \n\nI'll pass on your other questions. I'm more of a scholar than an advisor.

Is it me, or does Pangel always talk gobbledygook? LOL. Anyway, no, of course it is not a sin to use your mind that God gave you, to try and analyze things for yourself. The Bible was written thousands of years ago by many men, and much of it is NOT history, but rather allegory and symbolism. You are smart not to take it literally. After all, Jesus was always questioning the Pharisees about the law, and finding fault in it, Right?
