802 | Were Women ever Crucified? | Matt 23:34 | justme | 99686 | ||
The Curtman: I have no reason to assume that women were treated any less different then men. Because women were treated as sub-humans,capable of being used to produce good sons and lowly girls, and wwere considered personal property, easly disposed of, why would they not be treated even worse? Jesus brought women to an equal level with men. We are co equal believers in Christ. In all the world only those who have there writ of rights, that consider women with equality, have started as Christian nations. The sad fact is today as we dialogue women as a group are still treated as second class in our work force, and in some of our churches, in the USA. In much of the world today most countries women and young girls, and baby girls are considered as inferior and less desireable than boy babies. Women no matter where it is have a much harder life then men. I know for sure my wife has endured more than I ever will. Just giving birth would is more than I could bare. Raising small children is a task that few men would choose to do, or even capable of. Women are more often quite faithful in their relationship with Christ and church when compared to men. This is proberly more than you expected. I sorta chased a rabbit. Blessings Curtman. justme |

803 | Were Women ever Crucified? | Matt 23:34 | justme | 99685 | ||
Hank: Greetings to uall. I take the thought you have as well. In Church last week I asked the pastor if he had ever read of women being crucified in the time period near the time of Christ. He had never given it any thought. I can't tell you why I was thinking and it came to me as a question, but it did. I was amazed that Michael Daves a fists timer had an answer. Thanks for your imput as well hank. I noticed when I signed in a big note saying a new policy on what not to write about. Does this mean we are not to mention our church affilation or denomination? I am wanting to make sure I do not go where Saints are not to tred. Could you explain this a little more to me please? Blessings. justme |

GeorgeJoy: You sent this twice to me. I hope this is a fluke thing. Please George, reread the question. What I am asking is have women been the victims of crucifixion. I am asking for documention of the source of your information. I have said nothing about ATONEMENT. I am am very compassionate about the evil that has beem and still is inflicted on women, men, Black, White, etc, and actively try to dispell such insuations when ever I hear such hatered all people when I see there is treatement less than Christ would think is the way a child of God should be treated, even if I have no idea they are Christians. I hope this makes my position a little mor clear for you. Peace. justme |

GeorgeJoy: I can not for the life of me understand why you wrote what you did! Why don't you READ the question CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU ANSWER! I specficly was seeking to know if women were ever crucified! What about my question did you not understand??? Your first assumption was really off base. If you had no intentions in participating in a discussion with me, then did you even respond? What were your intentions George? Would you please read and digest the question before placing your fingers on the key board! I feel offended and somewhat anoyed that you responded to me in the way you did in this public Bible Study Forum. My hope is someday you will show me respect and with some hint of kindness. I do not think this is expecting too much of you George, do you? Peace. justme |

809 | Why did Eve orginally leave the garden? | Gen 3:1 | justme | 99594 | ||
Tomsweetstir: You have stirred some interest in this in me. I went to the Interlinear Bible Hebrew,English Vol 1 by Hendrickson, and read the area you refer to several times and looked at root words. Then I went to my trusted THE EXPOSITTOR'S BIBLE COMMENTARY, by Zondervan, and I could find nothing to even remotely suggest that the temptation took any other place but the "field in the Garden of Eden". perhaps some proof texting is needed to come to your conclusion? As Moses most likely wrote this book of Genesis, some of which Moses wrote is being presented from a third person writting from Yahweh's direction who was there to know fro sure what happened. At least that's how I believe anyway. How Eve received the information is not as important to me, as the fact that she did know to avoid the tree of good and knowledge. Interseting to me is both Adam and Eve knew Good from the begining. What they became aware was the evil, not what was good or better for them, or for us. I wonder if the eating of the fruit was literal eating or to partake of knowing what the tree was all about? I encourage you to keeo thinking aand looking at scripture whit some language tools. Do you have any such tools to use? You have an eager mind and that is refreshing to me. What do you think abiut what I have said? Blessings to you Tom. justme. |

Imoneofgods: Welcome to the Bible Study Forum! I noticed you responded to a question posted on on July 2001.

EdB:-) Thank you for that added clarification. You are correct we are to love the person always, the deed or cult is the part that is tetestable, and must be exposed in a way that reaches out to the person. I felt this dialogue had gone as far as it could for now. The results is in the Lords habds now. Peace, justme |

Dachande: I appreciate your service to our country. I am a disabled Navy Veteran. I do understand about making rank and the like. I would like to quote from 1 Timothy 1:3-7. "...instruct certian men not to teach strange doctrines, nor to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which give rise to mere speculation rather than furthering the administration of God which is by fath. But the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart and good conscience and sincere faith. For some men, straying from these things, haved turned aside to fruitless discussion, wanting to be teachers of the Law, even though they do not understand eeither what they are saying or the matters about which they make confident assertions." NASB updated. I often am reminded of these verses from Timothy to keep me on tract, when I dialogue with someone. I carefully watch responses to the notes I send, and how one replies to suggested readings and or Scripture. Joe, I am accountable for my time not only to the Lord, but to my wife and family. So a budget my time on the forum, according to how sincere and earnest the I feel the person I am dialoguing with is about seeking the Truth of Scripture. That makes good stewardship of my time that I have. You have been respectful and kind, that is very commendable, and speaks highly of you from my perspective. I do feel it is rather repeative at this point, to continue our dialogue, I feel you are defending your opinion, rather than measuring what you think against what Scripture teaches. I respect your right to back Morrmonisn and to believe as you wish. This is basic to each person under God, by His design, which is called "free will". Joe, having tried to dialogue with several believers in Mormonism, I know when there is no reason to continue trying to expose them to any more Scripture. This may be the time to let you pray or digest what I have written, or to ask Christ to open the Truth to you. I believe I would rather back off and let the Holy Spirit work with your understanding of God, then to go into an endless note sending, and expressing things that close doors to future dialogue, after you have given more time to chew on things for a while. I think this allows us both to show our respect and prove kindness to one another. I encourage you, again, to go to aomin.org and seek information from them and perhaps call and talk with someone there. I think this might help as you seek answers to what you are looking for. I enjoyed our dialogue, and perhaps we might dialogue on this after you have prayed and given this more thought. Peace. justme |

Dachande: I think it only fair to you to get information from the actual source on Mormonism, so I will give you quotes and the exact source, so it will not be me giving you my words, but the orignal source. I have rarely spent this much time dialoguing about this, but you have shown respect and been interested enough and I think you deserve the real truth. So here goes joe. The universe is governed by a head god and his council. "the head God called together the Gods and sat in a grand council to bring forth the world....In the begining, the head Gods called a council of the gods; and they came together and concorted a plan to create the world and people it" (Joseph Smith, TEACHINGS OF THE PROPHET JOSEPH SMITH,pp.348-49 God has goddess wives. "This doctrine that there is a Mother in Heaven was affirmed in all plainness by the First Presidency of the Church" ( Bruce R. McComkie, Morman Droctrine, p, 516). God is limited by a physical body. " The Father has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man's" (Doctrine and Covenants, 130:22) "If God possess a form, that form is of necessity of definate propprtions, and therefore of limited extention and space. It is impossible for Him to occupy at one time more than one space of such limits" (James E. Talmage, Articles of Faith, p, 43). There are many gods: "In the begining, the head council of the Gods called a council of the Gods; and they came together and concocted a plan to create the woorld and people it....In all when I have preached on the subject of the Deity, it has been the plurality of Gods" (Joseph Smith, Founder and First Prophet, History of the Church, vol.6,pp.43). Jesus and Satan are brothers. " The appointment of Jesus to be the Savior of the world was contested by one of the other sons of God-Lucifer. This spirit-brother of Jesus desperately tried to become the Savior of mankind" (Milton R. Hunter, First Council of Seventy, The Gospel Through the Ages, p. 15). Mary was not a virgin. " Christ was begotten by an Immortal Father in the same way that mortal men are begotten by mortal fathers....Christ was born into the world as the literal Son of this Holy Being; He was born in the same personal. real, and lireral sense that any mortal son is born to a mortal father" (Bruce R. McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, pp.547,742). Jesus was married. "Jesus was the bridegroom at the marriage of Cana of Galilee. We sat it was Jesus who was married. to be brought into relation wwhereby he could see his seed" (orlson Hyde, Apostle, Journal of Disclourses, vol.2,p.82). The Bible is incomplete and has serious translation errors, "Ignorant translators, careless transcribers, or designing and corrupt priests have committed many errors--many plain and precious things were deleted, in conseqquence of which error and falsehood poured into the various churches. One of the great heresis of modern Christendom is the unfounded assumption that the Bible contains all of the insspired teachings now extant among men" (Bruce R. McConkie, Mormon Doctrine,pp.82,83). Except for the LDS Church, all churches are false. "I was ansswered that I must join none of them, for they were all wrong; and the personage who addressed me said that all theeir creeds were an abomination in his sight; and those professors were all corrupt" (Pearl of Great Price, Joseph Smith 2:19). "This Church is the only true aand living church upon the face of the whole earth" (Doctrine and Covenants, 1:30). "There is no salvation outside of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints" (Joseph Smith, History of the Church, vol.6,p.670). Joseph Smith was a holy prophet. " I have more to boast of than ever any man had. I am the only man that has ever been able to keep a whole church together since the days of Adam. A large majority of the whole have stood by me. Niether Paul, John, Peter, nor Jesus ever did it. I boast that no man ever did such work as I. The fellowers of Jesus ran away from Him; but the LatterDay Saints never ran away from me yet" (Joseph Smith, History of the Church, vol.6,pp.408-09). Joe, I can give more quotes from the Mormon Churches own material if you like. I hope you will closely consider that there is a significant discripency in what Mormons say they believe and what is actually what the truth really is. Why not look up what I have quoted, and that way you too will be sure I have quoted it rightly. I f you would rather we can dialogue on any of the points or move on to a new subject. I would never intentialy misslead you. My hope is this will help you and any others who read this. All these quotes come from MORMONISM What You Need To Know, Quick Referrence Guide by Ed Decker Published by Harvest House Publishers, Eugene Organ, 97402 1977 ISBN 1-56507-511-0 by permission. I pray this might help you. Peace. justme |

Dachande: I appreciate your honesty and sharing your thoughts and feelings. The LDS Church believes Lucifer and Jesus Christ were brothers! They believe Jesus was the forerunner of Joseph Smith, and Joseph Smith was the true redeemer! They do not believe Jesus Christ rose again in the flesh, nor do they believe Jesus was born of the virgin Mary. They do NOT accept the Bible as the true Holy living Word od God. For Mormans the Book or Morman is holy. Keep in mind that the Book of Morman is subject to constant change, and has been a number of times. In the Book of Morman penned by Joseph Smith, he said polygamy was to be followed. This suggestion caused havic in his day, but polygamy is practiced in several states today which is illegal and immoral to say the very least! Joe, always the main thing to look for in finding out if a person is involved in a cult, is to ask who Jesus was, and about their belief in the divinity of Jesus. Then ask if Jesus physically rose from the grave. These are key points. Then if you get this far ask how one gets to heaven, and is there any other way than by beibg regenerated by Jesus Christ and by Jesus alone, by our faith in Him? A cult will constantly disagree in these matters of these questions. I encourage you not to be so side tracked by "anti statements" made by anyone, but by who do they say Jesus is. That Joe, is the ultimate question we all MUST answer. Would you agree? I think at this point I will waite for your response to move on from this point, ok Joe? Peace. justme |

Dachande: This is Part 2. In your note I do have a concern I would like to run by you. I wonder if you realy have given serious inqurie into the LDS Church and it's beliefs? I do not want to presume wrongly, however by your note I do not think as deeply as you need to. I have known and delt with Dr. James White, an expert in LDS and other cults. Infact we went to University together, he was by far the most intelligent, serious student I have ever ment. His web site is aomin.org and he has authored several widely acclaimed books. I encourage you to visit and gleam at your will, it will widen your scope of understanding if the LDS Church. Joe, they do indeed have ANTI- material, you might just mever see it, but I have. This is NOT a Christian Church! LDS is a cult, just a the same as JW's etc. You need to see this for your self and then you can speak from personal experience. Also equip.org is another good sourse of information on this as well. For me I believe that according th Jesus in Matthew chapters 24, and 25, I doubt we will ever see the Chruch united under His or Biblical authority, in willingness, until Jesus return. I see that Jesus is saying this world will get worse and worse. Do you see where I come from from in Matthew 24 and 25 to arrive at this thinking? Why not reread thies chapters and continue our dialogue some more? I do not understand what happened before on the forum with you and others, and it is not an issue I care to go into. As long as we share mutuial respect with Christian kindness, we shall continue our dialogue, if that's ok with you. I will let you know if I do not agre with respect and kindness, and if I can no longer do that I will say i need to bow out, and I expect the same from you also. Sounds reasonable does it not? I do incourage you to use Scripture if you are able to, when making a strong statement as this is a Bible Study Forum, ok? Well peace to you Joe. justme |

Dachande: I've read your two notes, and your concerns are not unfounded. There is a wide range of theology anong those who call themselves "Christians". Having studied the starting of several denomonations, there were as many reasons as for their beliefs as there are denomonations. Ask someone what religion are you? Odds are they will say the denomonation they belong to, have you noticed that? I have gotten the answer Lutheran, Catholic, General Baptist, Assembly of God or some simular answer like non-denomonational, independant, or the like. There is strong loyality to the group Christians belong to, be it just a local church or denomonation. Rarely do I have someone say I am a Christian. Ask a Jew and they say Jewish religion. Those who are on either side of belonging to a denomonation or those who fault denomonationalisn, are equal in the position for or against, and as a rule defend their view to the point of disfellowshiping one another. The Body of Christ has very little unity today as I understand what Biblical unity is. In some cases the loyality to ones paticular "brand" of church is stronger than the loyality, by evidence displayed by lifestyle, to the Lord Jesus Christ. I find this so totally wrong it is sickening, and a stench in the nose of God, in a figure of speach. Often when we study a community in which several same kind of churches are present, you will find church splits were the reason for so many of the same kind of churches so close together. The root of the reason for the split often festers for several generations with unresolved resentment toward one another on going for many years. In Galations Chapter 5, Paul addresses some key points of basic "Getting along with one another" 101 course. In verse paul says "....The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love." NIV. I don't think we do this very well, and perhaps until we do the world will not take our message of our loving Jesus with all our heart, very sereiously. One observation I have is about liberalism, aand mainline denomonations. Rarely as time passes by, do we see demonations grower in a direction toward being more conserative. There are two exemptions to this that I have seen. The World Wide Church of God, and the Southern Baptist Convention. The World Wide Church of God founded by H. W. Armstrong, has made significant change in the last ten years, from that of being clasified a cult, to changing to become in line with orthodox Christianity. The Southern Baptist went from being more post modern into a more conservative, and adopting a non creedal, but quite simular to a creedal statement of belief that Ministers and Missionaries must agree to to be in leadership or paid ministry. There mmay be a few others that I am not aware of. Joe, we all have some blame in all this mess I have described. When ever there are two or more gathered, you have two or more opinions, or understandings of Scripture. For example some churches practice closed Communion, others churches have open Communion, open to any one that's been regenerated in Jesus Christ, and Baptized. The later is where I fall in line with. This alone has split churches into splinter churches. Then there are the King James Bible only churches, they are adomint that no other Bible is God ordained but the KJV. This too has caused a huge gap in the body of Christ. The list grows wider and deeper on areas of differences. Some even insist theeir way of "opinion" is the best, without having any Biblical backup. End of Part 1. juustme |

Dachande: You present some interesting thoughts. I wonder, if at least in our country, if the anti-christian climate and politics are perhaps even worse than in Jesus lifetime? Quoting Christianity Today Oct. 2003 page 17 by Ted Olsen, "V. Gene Robinson who was recently confirmed as an Episcopal Chruch bishop despite his noncelibate homosexual relationship." Now if this was not insulting enough to all who claim Jesus Christ as Lord, here is a remarkable quote from V. Gene Robinson himself that brings into clear focus Robinson's doctine, or lack there of. Same sourse and author "Just simply to say that it goes against tradition and the teaching of the church and Scriptures does not necessarily make it wrong." Upon reading this myself, I had to reread it twice to believe my eyes! This twisted man who has been confirmed by a group of seriously flawed "so called Christians" is nothing short of deserving of the wrath of hellfire from our Holy Father the Lord Almighty! Joe, the one of the major problems is people act on what they themselves think and feel rather what Holy Scripture says. Opinions are nice but often are very wrong. Would you not agree? I am reminded of 1 Timothy chapter 6. There is significant warnings about exactally what we are dialoguing about here. What's your scriptual view on all this? justme |

Dachande: Welcome to the Forum. Noteworthy Point you make. As you may know that a Prophet can frothtell or or fortell. Proclamation of God's Word is included in the forthtelling. There as some that would say that to speak the "Word of Knowledge" in English or tongues would be what you are refering to, perhaps. I am not of the opinion that the way Pat Robertson sends forth the "Word of Knowledge" is done in the Biblical context. So I would have serious doubts as to a man or woman had that as a genuine working gift of the voice of the Holy Spirit. Perhaps you may have some further thoughts on this? I would be interested to know if I hit on where you are coming from. Blessings. justme |
