    Making a case for women in leadership

    I wasn’t answering your post—I was responding to Edify, who was judging those who are “judging sisters in the kingdom.” I responded to your question in another post.

    Making a case for women in leadership

    Yes, she did. But remember she lived under a different law than we do today. She was a Jew. The law of Christ was non-existent. 1 Cor. 14:34 had not been written yet and she had no law prohibiting her in any way. So 1 Cor. 24:34 and 1 Tim. 2 did not apply to her. Galations 5:4 tells us...

    Making a case for women in leadership

    Opinions are fine—everyone has one; but this is a BIBLE discussion forum. So I would expect to discuss what the SCRIPTURE says. Jesus said we can’t judge “hearts” but we c CAN judge people’s actions or “works”, especially if we are using what the Bible says to defend or defeat a work or action...

    Making a case for women in leadership

    It is a mistake to try to apply the law of Moses or old Jewish law and practices to Christian’s who are living under the law of Christ. I cannot seek to justify a religious practice of any kind by the Old law of Moses; if I do, Paul says I “have fallen from Grace.” Galations 5:4. Psalm 68 is a...

    Making a case for women in leadership

    we have to remember that Deborah lived under a different law.—the law of Moses or old Jewish law. We live under the law of Christ. 1 Cor. -4:34 was not in existence when Deborah was a judge. Nor was it ever for her or her people. God permitted many things in the Old Testament law that He no...

    Making a case for women in leadership

    Paul addresses women who pray or prophesy in chapter 11.where he is addressing head coverings. As far as I can tell in the context this is “private” not public praying and prophesying. If a woman was to prophesy publicly in the assembly that would be a contradiction of 14:34. Another verse...

    Making a case for women in leadership

    1 Corinthians 14 :37 is addressing women in Public worship. See verse 23 and 26. Timothy says she is not to USURP authority over a man. This is the reason for her submission. She can’t be in a leadership position public ally. Acts 18 tells us that a husband-wife team PRIVATELY Taught...

    Making a case for women in leadership

    What Paul wrote in 1 Cor. 14 was for leadership in public worship. Verse 23 says when the WHOLE CHURCH COMES TOGETHER, and verse 26, “whenever you come together”. This is a public assembly. A woman is forbidden to take a leadership role, that not only means preaching or teaching publicly, it...

    Making a case for women in leadership

    The scriptures are clear regarding the roles of men and women in the church. 1 Timothy 2:11-14 “Let a woman learn in silence with all submission. I do not allow (permit) a woman to teach or have authority over a man, but to be in silence. 13) For (because) 1. Adam was formed FIRST, then...

    Another look at John 10.

    I agree this sheep was one of His children. And that’s a very important point because Jesus is the one telling this story and JESUS says that the “shepherd” (Jesus). LOST one of His sheep verse 4. In spite of the fact that YOU SAY “God will never lose one of His” Jesus says He did lose one...

    Another look at John 10.

    Ezekiel 36:26 is not talking to or about “Christian’s.” Read the context! Verse 22..”Therefore, say TO THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL…” God is talking to His chosen people, the Jews. If you are a gentile, these words were never spoken to you (or me). All of the promises between verses 22-32 were all for...

    Another look at John 10.

    Notice who this parable is for in verse 2: the Pharisees and Scribes complained ( they are the “elder brother.”). Verse 3, “So He spoke this parable FOR THEM!” These are ALL JEWS that Jesus is talking about according to the context. They are ALL children of God. They are ALL God’s people...

    Another look at John 10.

    The Father in this parable obviously is God. He had 2 sons—both are His and God’s inheritance is divided between them both. The younger son had an inheritance from his Father just like the older son. They were BOTH God’s children. They were BOTH part of God’s family. But the younger son...

    We disagree, emphatically.

    Loss of salvation???

    and how does that prove that God made a “covenant” with Adam. God, in the Bible, has given instructions to many, many people. What evidence do you use to determine this?? Is it not made up in your own mind? Are you So you are calling everything that God says to man a “covenant.”? How do...

    Loss of salvation???

    so, you believe God also made a covenant with Satan and the woman, too. By your definition and way of handling the scriptures, we can call anything and everything in the Bible a covenant of some kind. Then it becomes meaningless, if everything in the Bible is a covenant; and please tell me...

    Loss of salvation???

    When God made a covenant, He told us so as in Genesisv18. The word says He made a covenant with Abraham. Joshua made a covenant with the people . Joshua 24:25. Johoidah made a covenant with the Lord….”2 Kings 11:17. Hezekiah’s made a covenant with tge Lird, 2 Chron. 29. In the Bible when a...

    Loss of salvation???

    All true but never called “God making a covenant with Him.” God does NOT call that a covenant. That is just what YOU Call it. Because you call that a covenant, does not make it so. God told Satan that he would be despised by men. That he would crawl on his belly and eat dust all of his...

    Loss of salvation???

    No. Not unless you can provide a scripture from the word of God that says so. Peter says if anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God ( word of God). If you can’t produce a scripture that says so, then you are not speaking as the oracles of God. I will only accept what God says—not...
