Can we consider 1 verse of Revelation 12 at a time? Looking at the individual parts and discussing those parts, instead of jumping all over the place? Rev 12:1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of...

Can the woman of Revelation 12 be specifically 'Mary' as a certain religion teaches being 'assumed' into Heaven? Some questions to ask: 1. Is the woman still pregnant (with child) in Rev. 12:1-2,5? 2. Is the “great red Dragon” also “in heaven” ready to devour the ‘man child’ as soon as He...

Revelation 12, a structural analysis (kinda like the bones of your body): [A1] Rev. 12:1-5 = Woman, Child and Dragon [B1] Rev. 12:6 = Woman in Wilderness for 1,260 [C1] Rev. 12:7-9 = War between Michael and Satan in Heaven [D1] Rev. 12:10 = Cross, Power of Christ, His Victory [D2] Rev...

True in a sense. I would basically agree with you here, with some added information. Paul was a member of the Sanhedrin (as one 'in training', raised at the feet of Gamaliel; Acts 22:3), and all members of the Sanhedrin had to be married according to OT stipulations and even Rabbinical ones...

I pray that all who enter discussion here, do not ever question that God loves each one of us, as proven by Jesus' entire life here. Yet while God loves us, as individuals, He does not love the erroneous thoughts, speech, actions, practices, beliefs, theologies. See Revelation 2, for while God...

Indeed. "Helpmeet" (KJB). (You are suggesting you are better at translation and language than the men who were expert in multiple languages? Why disparrage words (English) you obviously do not understand?) Now, Eve was equally human, and shared dominion with Adam (the male). She was not...

Talk about taking things out of context: 1Co 7:26 I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be. You would have those two verses say that those who are married Elders and Deacons are less capable in the things of God than singular...

The Bible is citing OT for "Kings and Priests", citing; Exo_19:6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel. The Priests and Kings were male, all heads of family, all the Elders were male, even...

No there weren't. The only text that even purportedly used to substantiate such, was already addressed, Romans 16:1: [1] - https://christianchat.com/bible-discussion-forum/are-women-pastors-biblical.196631/page-2#post-4457963 [2] -...

Yes. That has nothing to do with a church office/ordained position. In that sense all are commissioned with the spread of the Gospel and the Kingdom of God, but not in the same manner, office or position.

That is the qualification. 1 Tim. 3. It safeguards from many evils, for both Elders and Deacons. Before Adam ruled over children, he was married. This is the nucleus of the original church. Before Moses was given leadership over a nation, a "church" in the wilderness, he was married and had...

These offices/positions were always male among God's people: ["God", as Jesus], "Husband" (as Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Joshua, etc), "Father", "Son", "Priest/High Priest" (Aaron, etc), "King" (David, Solomon, etc), "Apostle" (Peter, James, John, Paul, etc), "Bishop/Elder" (John, etc)...

Simple, because a 'pronoun" always refers back to a previously given noun, and in this case the noun is "Husband", a male. The King James Translators were wise, pious, prayerful and studious men. Please come to understand language and its syntax and use, before approving Dino246's errors...

I have. Thoroughly. Phoebe is just a person who serves, and does not hold the office/position of authority as one ordained among men do. Joh 2:5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. Joh 2:5 λεγει η μητηρ αυτου τοις διακονοις ο τι αν λεγη υμιν ποιησατε...

I have. Thoroughly. Let's go in chiastic reverse: Phoebe. Rom 16:1 I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea: Rom 16:1 συνιστημι δε υμιν φοιβην την αδελφην ημων ουσαν διακονον της εκκλησιας της εν κεγχρεαις Rom 16:1 συνιστημιG4921...

Basically correct. Women can teach just fine, even from 'the pulpit', 'street corner', etc. The matter of church office/position is differing entirely from such. They cannot be in the office/position of "Priest/High Priest", "Apostle", "Elder/Bishop/Presbyter", "Deacon". Paul was dealing...

True, but that is not in the context of church offices/positions, such as "Apostle", "Elder/Bishop/Presbyter", "Deacon", or even referring to the "Priest/High Priest" offices, which are only for the male. Nothing in the context of Galatians 3 deals with those things. It's (context) talking...

Let's answer: [1] No. See Acts 1:15, 2:1-4,33. [2] Yes. See John 20:2. [3] Not necessarily. The "spirit of Prophecy" is actually the gift of Prophecy (which is the "testimony of Jesus"), see Revelation 19:10, 2 Timothy 1:6; 1 Corinthians 12:28; Ephesians 4:11. Notice, in all of those...

Truth only has "one perspective", while error has plethora.
