Whynot:Why not is a very excellent question in and of itself! Welcome to the Study Bible Forum. This question has been asked in many ways, many times. I take a different position that most conservative Christians. I say yes, but for most women it is a up hill climb, and there are denominations that will not even consider a woman in this position. Southern Baptist, Conserative Baptist, and General Assoc. of Reg Baptist just to name a few. However there are many denominations who do support women in ministry; American Baptist, Cooperative Baptist, Cornerstone Churches Network (formerly ABE) just to name a few. The Seminary I attended, Central Baptist Theological Seminary of Kansas City, KS not only supports women in ministry but the Rev. Dr. Molly Marshal is President of the Seminary. Women have served as Pastors in the United States from about 1820 or so. There are many books on the history of women in ministry. For a good reference please read: Beyond the Curse/Women Called to Ministry by Aida Besancon Spencer/Thomas Nelson Publishers; Women Pastors by John Eldred/Judson Press; blessed Is She by David Albert Farmer and Edwina hunter/ Harper Row Publishers. The bigger question are you sure that you or the woman (or man) is really called into ministry? The proof of God's call is when the Chruch calls you to ministry. I respect those who will disagre with me, but I am unwilling to argue the point. This is a subject that is widely debated and in this forum I am perhaps one of a very few that will openly say I support women in ministry. Blessings and may God lead you. justme |

462 | Is God Sovereign in the Church today? | Rom 1:22 | justme | 168541 | ||
Doc:I enjoyed your note and you are right I am sure. However, what percent of the clergy do you estimate live such false spiritual lives that it it manifests in their teaching and preaching. One only has to watch TBN (which we don't get on our antena) and see the WOF false teachers. There are perhaps as many in the liberal denominations that have forgotten what Romans 8 has to say. There are certian Seminaries that when I read someone has attended, cause me serious concerns. Much can be said about the persons lack of belief in Scripture and the Sovereignty of the Holy Father by whom they were taught by. Is it YET, Dear Lord? Blessings to you Doc. Justme |

Atdcross: I am concerned when ever I read critiques that criticizes the "theologians and pastors of today." This statement is to general, and leaves one thinking that the majority of Pastors and Theologians are expounding unbiblical teaching and or preaching. I personally have worked agonizing over the Scripture, to make sure what I have preached is the very Word of God. From my expereince as having been the Pastor of four churches, is as I saw it, "Biblical faith" was being expounded correctly. All to often the Pastor or Seminary Professor and even the Seminary itself, are held responsible for not correctly expounding the Bible as it should be. Why are some so quick to blame, without either confronting the Pastor or Professor in a respectful kind loving way? There is in my opinion a growing number of churched people who are educated only in the most basic Biblical Doctrines. To the shame of so many baby Christians, when they hear Theology that amounts to solid food, they choke and vomit on their Pastor or Theologians. Scripture warns that not many should become teachers. Perhaps this warning not only is to prevent wrong teaching. This warning is also to divert those who are not equiped emotionally to deal with and fend off such attacks. I am not in agreement that "this idea of salvation by faith alone" has to far. Luther, thank God, did take the "other extreme." I am sure, after reading your profile, that you have read a wide scope of excellent Christian authors. I applaud you endurance in the Christian Faith. So I am not assuming you are intollerant, just made a conclusion that I think was to wide, I hope. I am praying that you will find a church home soon. Blessings Brother. Justme |

If I take your thinking a step further, when James says to show your faith without works is not true faith. The reverse is also ture. The first thing required it someone to point the person to Christ. The rest is between the Holy Spirit and the person. We are all saved by Gods Grace plus nothing else. Martin Lither made this the center post of his theology. We have been saved by Grace alone. Grace is freely given, but never without a cost. Any thoughts? Blessings. Justme |

467 | Repent or believe, which is first? | Bible general Archive 3 | justme | 167128 | ||
I do not assume Theology. There are patches of Thelogy like the Trinity, but never the term used. Many verses refer to the Holy Spirit, The Father, and to the Son of God, Jesus Christ. I would never assume the trinity, but rather it is a conclusion. Might I suggest that even the faith we get comes from God. The change of direction and is our obedience to the call of God. So might I suggest that there is an order. The witness of the Holy Spirit to covect us of sin, and the Call to become a believer. The repentence is our true response to becoming a genuine believer All this is under the results of the calling of the Holy Spirit. This is why the only unforgivable sin is rejecting the Holy Spirits call to make Jesus Christ our Lord. Perhaps you might have different thinking? Blessings. Justme |

468 | Are these essentials for Salvation? | Bible general Archive 3 | justme | 167083 | ||
Searcher56(:-) This was a most excellent answer! You gave the most Scripture to support answer, thank you. After reading the full article this caused me to really think about what Dr. Geisler was really saying. Far to often do we tend to agree with our really think, carefully studing the statement. That's why I put it in. Blessings. Justme |

Hank(:-) Dr. Geisler is one whom I highly respect. The article was saying that knowledge of these beliefs were not required for Salvation. To this I agree with Dr. Geisler's statements. Further in the article he states that as a Christian matures with teaching the believer will believe the statments to be true. I posted this because I wanted to get others to think deep as to what is essential for salvation. The article coused me to grind the gears up stairs once again. I am pleased to see the good response. Thanks for taking the time to answer. Blessings. Justme |

BradK: Something else to consider is 42 post's in 3 days is a lot. This is alone is hard to deal with when the questions and notes are very difficult to understand. Your patience is commendable, as well as those who responded in kindness. When Hank noted that 8888 subtract 1111 and that equals 7777, that was a belly buster! Blessings. Justme |

Saint Luke: This is Saint Justme. Perhaps this might be the time to look at 1John 1:9-10. For me this means that the expectation of my confessing my sins to Jesus and the results is forgivness as well as cleansing. How do you read this passage? Peace on Earth. Saint Justme |

Devon: Nice to hear from you, thank you. This issue and others like it are secondary to salvation. There is even some who insist on Jesus name only, being baptized front ways, and the list gets long the more we micro manage dogma to the ultimate. I have found the more love in Christ that is shown, the more freedom the church experiences, and growth comes naturally. I am Baptist by roots, but I do question areas that we take for truth rather than read for ourselves and come to a Scriptual agreement so we can defend why we believe, besides a statement our church says is what we believe. I have pastored 1 SBC, 2 American Baptist chuches, and ! Conserative Baptist Church. None of these denominations are perfect, nor is anyone got the perfect Theology. We are human and our frame is but dust. I hope this helps explain a little better where I am at this time in my life. I am medically retired and not a pastor amy longer. I am quick to remind myself to teach the Word is a responsibility that is taken too lightly. Blessings. justme |

Doc: We each must stand accountable for the way we live. I am glad that even in disagreement over secondary issues that are not dependant upon salvation we can still have communion in Christ. I personally have issues with fellow believers in the Word of faoth movement. None the less there are genuine believers in WOF. The same is true for other denominations. I feel it is easy to get side tracked into disfellowshiping ourselves from others over secondary issues. I see you have some very solid valid points, and upon those points I would stand with you. On lesser issues , I can stand alone until the Holy Spirit convicts me otherwise. I thank you for responding. Peace and blessings. justme |

Doc: The issue I have with some of what you say, is there is no attempt to seek a meeting of the minds. I respect your views, but it comes accross that you are right, and the final authority. I had hoped for a kinder dialogue. You are correct that culture should not dictate our understanding of Scripture. However without understanding the culture in the time of the writtings of Scripture, we are left to assume that the culture was inspired, which it was not. My "arguement" is not an arguement it is a observation. I have witnessed the missapplication of Scripture to put a heavy burden on fellow believers, by well meaning teachers. By taking cultural settings in the Bible and applied them to believers today. That was and is my point. I am puzzled how we have some of the most skilled Doctors, Seminary Proffessors, Missionaries, and the list goes on, who are women, and yet some churches would have such people sit quietly in the church, with no use for their wisdom. I am not advocating headship over a male, simply the recognization of equality in spiritual gifts, and abilities. I offer my response in kindness, respect, and a dialogue in Christian Love. I would consider myself as the person that James speaks about as being asked to give up his seat for a more wealthy person. The word picture I am attempting to paint is, You have asked me to get out of the furthest back roe "knowledge seat" and you expect your widsom to take the final word. Is nothing correct but your view? To this I would say that fokes dont care how much you know; until people how much you care. I think I have been put down, and my intention was not to challenge but to dialogue. Blessings. justme |

Lionheart: I am not sure what you mean by "Mans problems and issues are no different today." Now if you mean the basic problem that man is not right with God due to our sinful choices, and we are just as lost without Christ as those from the time Jesus died for our sins, I will say you are right. However, if you mean our sins today are no different I would not agree with your assessment. For many centuries mankind has invented ways to question what God's will is. Today we have Christians debating homosexuality, what is or is not a marriage, abortion, war, and the list is really endless. Problems and issues are very well concieved by our adversery and evil one, and his demons. Lest we fall into the devils trap, we need to recognize those areas that are very hard to define. Invetro-fertialziation is but one area, even Christian do not agree on. This but one area. Any thoughts? justme |

BradK: In Central Missouri the Lemstone Christian Bookstore has about 30 that remain on the shelves, and for about a little less than a year. I do like when the TNIV uses Brothers and Sisters in place of Brethern. However there are over 3,600 tines when the word which is masculin they have changed it to neutral. Examples are Gen. 1:23 and Psalm 1:1. Those are the verses you can take a quick glance and get a pretty good idea if it's a agenda version, at least for me anyway. Interesting to me is that I bought an ESV yesterday. I have read some of my fovorite passages and Psalm 139 is one of them. The ESV has made some verses so wordy it almost gets so detailes it looses me in the point they were making. I guess I am still a NASB user and will proberly stick wit the NASB as my primary Bible. Thanks for your response, and blessings to you. justme |
