221 | Do we play or pray? | Col 2:16 | djconklin | 28359 | ||
Unfortunately, for some it will be too late and others will refuse to admit that they could possibly be wronmg all because of the strong stands they have taken previously. | ||||||

Ah, so now I'm a liar? You claim I inferred it; in fact, it was you who inferred it falsely from what I did in fact say. I don't have an agenda; what's yours? |

223 | Correcting the translation | Col 2:16 | djconklin | 28370 | ||
Since you say that I did say what I in fact did not say means that you are calling me a liar. I will cease discussing this with you and turn the matter over to the webmaster. If you wish to read "intent" or "purpose" into what someone ewlse says that's between you and God. But the last thing yoiu should be doing is claiming that it was in fact my intent or purpose. My sole purpose was to study this verse to find out what it said. I only contributed one little element into the whole; the rest I found by reading what pro's in the field have said. |

Thank you Brian for your very kind words. I hope I can live up to Mat. 5:37--kinda hard for Irish-Germans! | ||||||
225 | Correcting the translation | Col 2:16 | djconklin | 28381 | ||
"I simply took what you said and based on accepted practices of reading and comprehension restated them." For that I blame the liberal educational system; I didn't really learn how to read carefully and thoughtfully till I was in grad school. "If you did not say them then I and I feel safe in saying most of the forum have no idea what it is you did say." Isn't it amazing how quickly some will judge their experience to be the same as others? Others have emailed me to tell me they understood what I was saying quite well. When I preach even those who haven't finished high school understood me quite well. When I run my papers through a grammar checker I have to take the Bible verses out because it drags the grade level down to the 4th-6th grade; without them it is at the 9th grade level. So, I find it really difficult to understand how any thoughtful praying Christian couldn't understand my study--unless, of course, they never bothered to read it in the first place. I had one gent who has a D.Min. who was working on a Th.d. on the book of Colossians email me who stated that I was the first he had seen to have correctly understood the verse. We also had a pleasant hour or so on the phone conversing about it and he gave me a few more ideas to plug into my study! |

226 | Correcting the translation | Col 2:16 | djconklin | 28459 | ||
Hosea 4:6 "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: ..." Try a word study on knowledge and pay particular attention to the book of Proverbs! Malachi 2:7 "For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts." No freedom of speech? |

Excellant texts kalos! I wonder what God will say to those who so quickly despise them and cast them aside? |

229 | Present tense | Col 2:17 | djconklin | 28272 | ||
Note that whatever Paul is referring to as a shadow he says that they "are" and not "were" which is what would be required if these things ended at the Cross. | ||||||
230 | Present tense | Col 2:17 | djconklin | 28454 | ||
Steve, 1) vs 16 isn't referring to the dietary laws because there is no law about drinks as my study shows. 2) It is highly likely that the early Christians obeyed the health laws that God set up and kept the ceremonial days mentioned in vs 16--the verse does not refer to the seventh day Sabbath. 3) While the identity of the critics of the believers at Colossae cannot be identified completely it is acknowledged that in part they were Jewish. The thrust of the criticism which vs 16 combats seems to be asceticism. 4) In reading vs 16 there are a varoiety of possibilities as to what the critics were criticizing. Not obeying as you point out is one option. Howevere, it is far more likely that the critics were not trying to impose an old way but rather were claiming that if the believers were really sincere in knowing God (part of the gnostic aspect of the heresy) then they should follow their man-made rules (partly reflected in vss 21-22). All of the above is given in far more detail in my study. |

231 | exegetical study | 1 Thess 2:7 | djconklin | 28705 | ||

232 | can a woman be in authority? | 1 Tim 2:12 | djconklin | 27887 | ||
Authority on what? What was Paul talking about here? Was he saying that a woman couldn't teach chemistry, physics, calculus, physiology, psychology, or a foreign language? Some people have taken this verse to such extremes that they believe a woman shouldn't be allowed to vote or drive a car. Did you know that the hermeneutics of the traditionalists is the same as those who advocated slavery? See Willard Swartley's book Slavery, Sabbath, War and Women. For more study on this issue see the bibliography of material that I have read at http://biblestudy.iwarp.com |

233 | Is this verse relevant today? | 1 Tim 2:12 | djconklin | 27889 | ||
If it wasn't relevant God would not have allowed it to be preserved for us today. Witness the am't of material alluded to in the Bible that wasn't preserved. As others have noted this verse is not about power; instead it is about roles. The best book I have seen on this is Holmes, C. Raymond The Tip of the Iceberg: Biblical Authority, Biblical Interpretation, and the Ordination of Women in Ministry. (Wakefield, MI: Pointer Publications, 1994). |

234 | Calling, contrary to scripture? | 1 Tim 2:12 | djconklin | 27890 | ||
"The injunction is based on the relationship of man and woman in the original creation (Gen. 2:18; 3:6)." 1) God made woman from the rib of a man, not the head that she should lord over him nor from the foot that she should be trodden on. 2) The same word that is used for woman ("helpmeet") is also used of God. One of the keys to proper interpretation of the Bible is to consider the whole and not just selected snippets. For example, the traditionalists will typically point to Gen 2:18 and 3:16 and yet completely ignore Gal. 3:28. |
||||||
235 | Calling, contrary to scripture? | 1 Tim 2:12 | djconklin | 27891 | ||
"... there is neither male nor female in God ..." To be somewhat technical for I believe the mis-translation ignores something God is trying to tell us the verse (Gal. 3:28) actually says "male and female". I have not yet worked out the whole significance of this. Perhaps someone here wouldsee it. |

236 | Popular opinion? or Scripture? | 1 Tim 2:12 | djconklin | 27892 | ||
"Rom 16:1 "I commend to you our sister Phoebe, who is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea;" This was the only passage I could find concerning Phoebe. I don't see a mention of her being a deacon in this passage." As I recall the Greek that Paul wrote has diakoinos--the feminine of deacon. --- "1 Tim 3:12 "Deacons must be husbands of only one wife," Actually what the Greek says (assuming I remember correctly) translated literally into English is "one man woman". One speaker noted that when he was at home in Indiana it meant one thing, when he studied for his doctorate in France it was interepreted differently, and when he was a missionary in Africa it meant something else. When I studied this verse I found something like 5 different meanings--which one is the right one and how do we know it is right? |
||||||
237 | Should women be teaching in churches? | 1 Tim 2:12 | djconklin | 27893 | ||
"Paul often admists that what he writes is his opinion." As I recall he only said that once. Right? --- "The law says do not kill, Jesus says "do not hate." The law says do not commit adultery, Jesus says "do not lust."" All Jesus did was to show the meaning of the law--love is the fulfillment of the law. --- "When Christ came to the earth, many Jews were still practicing polygamy ..." What?!? |

238 | New book answers ?? on women teaching | 1 Tim 2:12 | djconklin | 27894 | ||
" What do I think 1 Tim 2:12 means? I think it must mean what it says, that a woman is not allowed "to teach or exercise authority over a man."" I'm not sure which translation you are using there but the Greek word "authentien" (from which we get our word "authentic", btw) meant "usurp authority". |
||||||
239 | What?!? | 1 Tim 2:14 | djconklin | 29804 | ||
How does this fit in Paul's arguement? I have yet to see it adequately explained and I read some 4,500 pages by very good scholars on this issue! | ||||||
240 | What?!? | 1 Tim 2:14 | djconklin | 29859 | ||
Tim, Thanks for your comments. A couple of clarifications: Eve is according to the Hebrew an "helpmeet" not an "equal power". While there is evidence of women being prophets within the early church, witnessing to others and being deaconesses (our word) there is no evidence of any woman having a leadership role in ministry. You are somewhat correct about the word "authentien" (from which we get our word 'authentic", btw); it means "to usurp authority"--how the KJV translators knew that is a bit os a mystery. The problem I have with this partiucular verse is that on the face of it man should be the last one trusted since he knew he was wrong whereas Eve was at least deceived. A thought that just came to me is that perhaps we need to look at what Paul is not saying (i.e., that what we have is an argument in capsule form here.). If Adam had exercised his leadership role then Eve would not have been deceived and there would have been no sin in the first place. |
