Misquoting Scripture is never a good idea; it inevitably leads to wrong beliefs. What Paul wrote is this: “But I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭11‬:‭3‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Note the order and the...

I had a snarky reply all ready to go until I saw that Seoulsearch had started the thread. I have far too much respect for her to throw snark at her. However, for chuckles only (no, I’m not a psychopath), the best way to avoid growing old is to die young. 🥸🫣😜

I disagree completely. However, I have had a very full day and don’t have the energy to discuss it at length.

You respond THREE MONTHS LATER to a post WITHOUT QUOTING IT and expect me to recall the details? Get real. As for the motions I described, they are perfectly explained in the heliocentric model, but your FE mode can’t even make an educated guess because they are impossible in your world. Your...

That it ‘ties in’ with all of Scripture is not being argued. That it says that women cannot be pastors is certainly not clear.

Conjoined? Odd choice of words. Irreducibly? Methinks you’ve been reading Michael Behe lately. I will spare you the explanation which, no doubt, you have read before and dismissed.

Yes, it tells about one specific event in the life of one specific woman and says nothing whatsoever about pastors of either gender or about women in general. Or maybe that isn’t the point you wanted to make…. ;)

I would strongly recommend that you check the passage in some other translations. The context does not support your conclusion.

Okay… in light of this, you seem to be saying, We can see what the idols were for the Old Testament Israelites, but what are the ‘idols’ today? If I am correct in this (please let me know if I’m not), then I would suggest that aside from obvious false gods such as those of Islam, Hinduism, or...

What, specifically (in your view) is ‘the law of liberty’?

Which tells me nothing new.

The Scripture speaks, but you quoted that passage at me for your own reasons. It did not choose itself.

While the Ezekiel passage is addressed to leaders, it behooves all believers in Christ to love others ‘actively’. What you describe is common practice in my world. There’s a verse that says, He who knows the good he should do and doesn’t do it sins’. That is etched on my conscience.

To you both: quoting lengthy passages of Scripture at me without providing any explanation as to your particular message to me is pointless. I can quote Scripture at length as well. Unless you are under the new covenant in Christ’s blood (not the covenant initiated at Sinai), you cannot...

Saul’s eyes were indeed opened, but quoting that passage at me is not going to further the conversation. Here is what he later wrote in reference to Christians trying to add law-abiding to faith in Christ: “Are you so foolish? After beginning by means of the Spirit, are you now trying to...

You are funny. Delusional, but funny. Perhaps one day you will distinguish between other persons well enough to track what each says and respond accordingly instead of lumping them together.

Maybe that’s because we’re correct! ;)

You are free to do as you see fit, but when you teach something inconsistent with His word, you are leading others astray. Both Paul and James teach that those who rely on following the law to be righteous are obligated to obey the whole law, and Paul adds in this case, Christ died for nothing.

I have put in boldface font the parts you seem to be overlooking…. Christ is the mediator of the NEW covenant, not the old (Sinai) covenant. The new is NOT based on the laws given through Moses. You cannot point to the Sinai law as instruction for those under the new covenant. Sabbath was given...

And if you think you need to ’follow the law’ that you might maintain righteousness, you must follow THE WHOLE LAW. Since you cannot do that, you will pick and choose which ordinances you will follow (according to your own interpretation), and will claim that others need to follow the same law...
