1441 | Why the importance of sprinkling blood? | 1 Pet 1:2 | srbaegon | 45521 | ||
Hello Annalee Peter uses many OT examples in their NT usage. This particular example is from Exodus 24:6-8 (ESV) And Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he threw against the altar. [7] Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read it in the hearing of the people. And they said, "All that the Lord has spoken we will do, and we will be obedient." [8] And Moses took the blood and threw it on the people and said, "Behold the blood of the covenant that the Lord has made with you in accordance with all these words." Steve |

1442 | To Be Holy as I am Holy | 1 Pet 1:16 | srbaegon | 142490 | ||
Hello Sunniboy, Jesus didn't say it (at least not while on earth). See 1 Peter 1:16 Steve |

1443 | Can you Help me with This verse? | 1 Pet 2:9 | srbaegon | 72660 | ||
Hello chellehtx We can try. The verse is a statement concerning our priesthood as believers. Of course the question is: What do priests do? According to the verse we are to proclaim the excellencies of the Lord Jesus Christ--attributes, work of redemption, intercession for the saints, anything that shows Him to be altogether lovely. In relation to today's youth, it's what they are called to do right now as believers in the Lord. Hope this helps. Steve |

1444 | Understanding Spiritual Healing | 1 Pet 2:24 | srbaegon | 181561 | ||
Hello Blazer, Biblically speaking, spiritual healing is a concept found in Isaiah 53:4-6 and 1 Peter 2:24. The healing comes from the removal of sin when we are obedient to the gospel. Steve |

1445 | Looking at this in another way | 1 Pet 3:1 | srbaegon | 124428 | ||
Hello Joy, You ask a question that stirred my interest: "why do we SOMETIMES use cultural explanations as in the slavery passages, as well as the head-covering passages, and the women speaking in church passage?" An excellent question. I would come at the head-covering and speaking passages as normative rather than cultural. That way it cannot be dismissed as cultural but will be properly applied today. Therefore, what Peter and Paul say concerning marriage is altogether relevant regardless of the culture. Steve |
||||||
1446 | Is everything literal? | 1 Pet 3:1 | srbaegon | 124460 | ||
Hello Joy, Yes, women should be silent and wear head-coverings. I will qualify silence by saying there is nothing forbidding singing the songs, rather it's the teaching aspect. Steve |
||||||
1447 | How literal do we go? | 1 Pet 3:1 | srbaegon | 124461 | ||
Hello Joy, If I might comment on just one part of this. The Bible neither supports nor abolishes slavery. It regulates it. Slavery is alive and well in the U.S. penal system. Whether community service or a work farm, it's still slave labor at the core. Steve |
||||||
1448 | What about reading the announcements? | 1 Pet 3:1 | srbaegon | 124549 | ||
Hello Joy, Thank you for disagreeing agreeably. :-) Women should not lead worship, because they are not to be in leadership positions in corporate gatherings of the church. Guest missionaries and soloists are in a gray area. I would say that, as long as they are not leading and teaching, it would be acceptable. Steve |
||||||
1449 | Grey? | 1 Pet 3:1 | srbaegon | 124574 | ||
Hello Joy, Why a gray area? It's in trying to develop a systematic theology about women. 1 Cor 14 says for women to be silent while 1 Tim 2 says only that women are not to lead or teach men. Putting these together, there is a question of women's participation if not leading or teaching. So I have to figure out: Under what ciscumstances is it proper? Steve P.S. Is g-r-e-y the preferred spelling now? I'm pushing 50, so I'm getting out of touch. ;-) |

1450 | A question for all men - please answer! | 1 Pet 3:1 | srbaegon | 124881 | ||
Hello Joy, Camping was great, but it's good to be back. I see EdB gave you his response, and mine would be about the same. If I would attempt to tell Sandi to submit, she would just give me the evil eye. It doesn't work for any man. Loving your wife is the best way to gain a submissive wife--each partner doing what Scripture states. "Pulling rank" is rare. I have the final say because the God has given responsibility for the family to the husband, but I think I can count on one hand the number of times I made a decision without Sandi's input in our 25 years.

1451 | wives submissiveness? | 1 Pet 3:1 | srbaegon | 188555 | ||
Hello us8899, The short answer is that the wife needs to obey her husband even if he is wrong. 1 Peter 3:1-6 (ESV) Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives— [2] when they see your respectful and pure conduct. [3] Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair, the wearing of gold, or the putting on of clothing— [4] but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious. [5] For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their husbands, [6] as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are her children, if you do good and do not fear anything that is frightening. There is a more complete answer available based on the particulars of the marriage, but this is not a marriage counseling forum. Steve |

1452 | Do you believe Sarah wore make-up? | 1 Pet 3:6 | srbaegon | 176600 | ||
Hello HMM, It is well within the range of Definitely--Never. Beyond that, it's foolish to pursue. Steve |

1453 | Are Christian apologetics unbiblical? | 1 Pet 3:15 | srbaegon | 57730 | ||
Hello kalos An interesting question! Historically, the use of logic in theology has been considered a blessing. The area of systematic theology helps us to put the puzzle together. Where this breaks down is when we try to join verses that say similar things are removed from their context, and we come to an improper conclusion. One example is linking the "day" of Gen 1 with the "day" of 2 Pet 3:8. Even though the concept of a day is mentioned, the context shows these cannot be joined--the former speaking of creative days, the latter of the eternality of God. Because of this misuse, some groups avoid systematizing Scripture. They take a single verse out of context and create a doctrine from it. This is an extreme backlash. Proper exegesis places a verse in its correct context, and allows the expositor to systematize based on the correct underlying exegesis. Emmaus was correct that the Church Fathers were great logicians (Is that a legitimate word?) as were the Reformers. It's a neglected tool in modern theology. Steve |

1454 | What is wrong with proving it true? | 1 Pet 3:15 | srbaegon | 192337 | ||
Hello Jesusman, People do not understand the benefit of apologetics, even though Scriptures actually requires it of us. 1 Pet 3:15 (ESV) But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect Steve |

1455 | 1 Peter 3:19-20. What does it mean? | 1 Pet 3:19 | srbaegon | 49872 | ||
Hello Debbie F There is disagreement over who these spirits are. Some say the are those who lived during the time of Noah that were witnessed to by the building of the ark. Others say they are the fallen angels mentioned in Jude. I prefer the latter. In either case, I believe the proclamation made was a reiteration of His person and right to both reign and judge.

1457 | How to serve the Lord? | 1 Pet 4:11 | srbaegon | 39826 | ||
Hello Servitude This came to mind 1 Peter 4:10-11 (ESV) As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: [11] whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. Steve |

1458 | acts 9:15 | 1 Pet 4:11 | srbaegon | 118645 | ||
Hello zuby, And welcome to the forum. The best answer I can think of applies to any ministry the Lord desires of us. 1 Peter 4:10-11 (ESV) As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: [11] whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. I cannot think of anything which would specifically relate to a healing ministry. Steve |

1459 | no interpretation allowed | 2 Pet 1:20 | srbaegon | 85195 | ||
Hello Slarty, Here is the verse you asked about. The whole thing is 2 Pet 1:19-21. What it says is that the prophesies given by God to His people to share in the Scriptures were not of a private nature but rather done by the Holy Spirit. Now on the other hand, the is safety in a multitude of counselors, so when studying the Scriptures, it's good to get understanding from spiritually-minded people. Steve |

1460 | A DAY WITH THE LORD | 2 Pet 3:8 | srbaegon | 123927 | ||
Hello quickfix4u, What it's saying is that God is not bound by time as we are. Therefore, we shouldn't be impatient concerning His dealings. Steve |
