Posted by Traci But, part of figuring out all the dilemmas is asking this: Why is it important to know the truth about this? Will it change my life? Ro 12:2 says that if our minds are transformed then we will be able to test (or know) the will of God. How will having understanding (or transforming our minds) in this area help with knowing the will of God in our lives? Will this understanding encourage us, inspire us, change our habits, change our future or help us to make a decision? Knowing the truth is great, but if it has nothing to do with me and my life, it is useless. Even truth from the Bible, whether it be by supposition or actual scriptural statement, does me no good if it is of no use. For example, I know by suppostion that Zeruiah ate dinner 100s of times, (the Bible does not explicitly say so). It is the truth, but this truth has no use to me. I'm not saying these discussions are of no use. I am saying that finding application in our personal lives might help guide the discussion more meaningfully as well as help us properly place our passions. Just some thoughts. Traci

This whole thread has been quite interesting and you all sure spend quite a bit of time in research - good research!. I went back the best I could and I couldn't really figure out what the original question was.
