41 | "tulip" but not Calvinist? | Rom 5:6 | inHzsvc | 6445 | ||
TULIP is not Calvin's doctrine in that he didn't found or write it. God did. It's a Scriptural truth that Calvin only believed, by the grace of God. | ||||||
42 | Can you see my position? | Rom 5:6 | inHzsvc | 6446 | ||
Surely you can read this passage and see that the all is referring back to the "us" (KJV). "The LORD is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but, is longsuffering to USWARD, not willing that any (of the USWARD--INHZSVC) should persish" | ||||||
43 | "tulip" but not Calvinist? | Rom 5:6 | inHzsvc | 6453 | ||
how ridiculous......I meant the doctrines were Scriptural and you know what I meant. | ||||||
44 | Can you see my position? | Rom 5:6 | inHzsvc | 6454 | ||
No, thanks. I'll stick to the Authorized version. | ||||||
45 | Christ dying only for elect? | Rom 5:6 | inHzsvc | 58725 | ||
Actually, you don't understand the Calvinism/Arminian thing. I Cor. 2:14 says, "..the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God for they are foolishness unto him, neither CAN he know them for they are spiritually discerned." And again, Jhn. 6:44 says, "no man can come to me, except the Father which has sent me draw him..." You don't understand the fall. Man is not sick, he is dead (Eph. 2:1). If your view is correct, there is still some good in man. However, the Bible says, "there is none that doeth good" (Psa. 14:1, Psa. 14:3, Psa. 53:1, Psa. 53:3, Rom. 3:12). There is nothing within man that wants God unless God convicts him of his sin and shows him he needs a Savior. I pray you will consider this and not just defend preconceived ideas. |

If you are at zero, you don't owe a debt. There's nothing to accept. If Christ paid for your sins, they are paid. There's no positive, negative, and zero. There's sinners who will pay they're debt because they didn't believe the gospel and those who trusted in the Savior Who paid they're debt for them. There is not a single verse of Scripture that teaches Christ put us back where Adam was before the fall. The Bible says, "we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us." Adam was innocent for he had no knowledge of good and evil. We are not that. |

47 | Christ dying only for elect? | Rom 5:6 | inHzsvc | 58727 | ||
I agree that people must believe. However, this is only possible by the regenerating power of the Holy Spirit. Faith is a gift of God (Eph. 2:8). Jesus not only says some "won't get it," He says some can't get it because they are not of His sheep. God bless. |

48 | How is comunion only symbolic? | 1 Cor 10:16 | inHzsvc | 3375 | ||
Mt 26:26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed [it], and brake [it], and gave [it] to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. Mt 26:27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave [it] to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; Mt 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. Christ told them here that the bread and wine WERE His body and blood. Obviously, since He was with them, this was symbolic of His body and blood. It is the same teaching as the passage you have presented. Symbolically, we have shared in the body and blood of Christ by "remembering" His death through the supper. God bless. |

49 | Women speak in church? | 1 Cor 14:34 | inHzsvc | 3471 | ||
You said "you think" Paul was addressing a specific situation at Corinth. Yet, Paul said "let your women keep silence in the churches."--not church, but churches. He goes on to say "it is a shame for women to speak in the church." How else can this be taken. I'm sure the Holy Spirit assumed some would say what you are saying so He inspired Paul to also tell Timothy, "Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp athority over the man, but to be in silence"(I Tim. 2;11,12). There is absolutely no way to take this but that women are to be in silence. Paul is here writing to a young preacher instructing him how to act in any church. The man is the head of the woman(I Cor. 11:2,3). This is not popular, but, it is Scriptural. These liberal times that we live in are the problem. | ||||||
50 | Women speak in church? | 1 Cor 14:34 | inHzsvc | 3483 | ||
Charis, I would much rather stand on "thus says the Lord" or "the Scripture says" than "I think." You must say that according the the Scripture cited, women should be silent after the church is called to order--that is, when the floor is opened for the speaker. There is absolutely NO Scripture anywhere to prove that women ever audibly spoke during church. If so (apparently in the case of the Corinthian saints), they were corrected. Again, I will take the Scripture over any figuring. It just is too plain on this subject. As I study older commentators, I see that they felt the exact same way. God bless. |

We, as a church, prophesy when we sing together. Women are not allowed to pray when men are present--that would be usurping authority over them. But, they can pray in silence. Either way, I Cor 11:5 definitely proves that they should cover their head with a veil when doing either. As to Phoebe, she was definitely a servant in the church. However, nothing is EVER said to even hint that she spoke audibly in church. God bless. |

52 | Women speak in church? | 1 Cor 14:34 | inHzsvc | 3485 | ||
Joel, That is absolutely true, in most places. However, in the church I am a member of, the men still take the authoritative role. If you aren't in one, trust me, there are still some out there. God bless. |

53 | Women speak in church? | 1 Cor 14:34 | inHzsvc | 3494 | ||
Charis, It's not that I "think I know" "what God speaks on this issue". I just know that is the only side presented in the Word of God. If there were any other indication that women ever held an authoritative position in any church or there were ever one statement where a writer claimed it was OK, then, I'd submit to the teaching. But, there isn't. I do desire for the people in my church to follow the proper authority--the Bible. If we do that, and that alone without any extra ideas on our part, women will remain silent in the public mixed assemblies because that's the only way the Bible speaks of it. As for Easter, you are right about the heathen origin of the name. However, the bunny, the egg, and several other points concerning it are of a heathen origin. That word is only mentioned once in Scripture and that word was translated passover every other time except that once--interesting. You should pick up a book, "The Two Babylons" by Alexander Hislop---very interesting. God bless. |

Ver. 5. "But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth", Not that a woman was allowed to pray publicly in the congregation, and much less to preach or explain the word, for these things were not permitted them: see "1Co 14:34,35 1Ti 2:12" but it designs any woman that joins in public worship with the minister in prayer, and attends on the hearing of the word preached, or sings the praises of God with the congregation, as we have seen, the word prophesying signifies. This was written by a commentator (John Gill--highly respected by the way) between 1746 and 1766. As you can see, he plainly explains that singing is considered prophesying. In Christ, as far as being saved, we are all one. But, there is a difference between the sexes. I Cor. 11:1-3 is quite plain on that. Different instructions are given to men than are given to women. You can't take Gal. 3:28 and bend it to say what you want it to. It's simply saying that salvation is for both sexes in every race--no respecter of persons with God. This has nothing to do with being stuck on myself as you rudely imply. I simply desire to follow the CLEAR teaching of the Word of God. God bless. |

Still yet, charis, we have no right to add to God's Word, or, perhaps more precisely, change it to fit today. When we do so, we can make anything truth and nothing is absolute. God gave us what we needed. What was good for Corinth, Thessalonica, Ephesus, etc. is good for us today. "Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever" God bless. inHzsvc |

56 | MEN ARE THE HEAD OF THE WOMAN NOT THE EN | 1 Cor 14:34 | inHzsvc | 3843 | ||
But, it say's nowhere that they did this in public. And you'll find no Scripture anywhere whatsoever to say they did this in public. How can you reconcile your opinions with such plain Scriptures. "Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence."(I Tim. 2:11,12). There is absolutely no way to interpret that but one. All Scripture that you quote MUST harmonize with that. "Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also sayeth the law. And if they will learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church." There is nothing here about learning then speaking, as you say. The point to a woman being in silence is subjection and obedience. As to your Greek interpretation of prophesy, I notice that you leave out many other ways that this word is used in the original language--how convenient. It can, and does, mean " 4395 propheteuo (prof-ate-yoo'-o) from "4396"; TDNT - 6:781,952; v AV - prophesy 28; 28 1) to prophesy, to be a prophet, speak forth by divine inspirations, to predict 1a) to prophesy 1b) with the idea of foretelling future events pertaining esp. to the kingdom of God 1c) to utter forth, declare, a thing which can only be known by divine revelation 1d) to break forth under sudden impulse in lofty discourse or praise of the divine counsels 1d1) under like prompting, to teach, refute, reprove, admonish, comfort others 1e) to act as a prophet, discharge the prophetic office As you said, it can be used as a forteller of events. However, it can also be used as simply "a teacher." As for deaconness, it does mean a servant. That surely doesn't mean she was a preacher or pastor. When you find Scriptures where a woman in the NT pastored a church, let me know. Please take the Scriptures. God bless. |

By the way, John Gill has been respected by thousands of Expositors. His work still lives even 3 centuries following. You can buy his work on CD at www.christianbook.com , if you'd like, along with Spurgeon and Pink. God bless. |

If you call believing the Bible for what it says "legalistic," then so be it. What I believe is that we should have Scripture to back up what we do. Do you not believe that? There is not one ounce of Scripture that ever contradicts I Cor. 14:34 nor is there anything to even hint that it was only for that time period. I find it hard to believe that Christian people today think we can just write off what the Bible says about things such as this. Look, the Bible is our "handbook." We are to follow it. We don't have anything else. If we can just say, "well, I think that's old fashioned", we can do anything. Please, for your sake as you will stand before Christ in judgment one day, take God's Book seriously. He wrote it like He meant it. God bless you and yours. |

I have practiced this at times, though not at all every time. Generally I shake hands with folks. Surely, you see that you are grasping for straws in this argument. You are speaking about a type of greeting which is not necessarily in the assembly and specific instructions on worship practices. There is not doubt that women are told to keep silent in the mixed assemblies twice in Scripture. The thinking that we can just throw things out that we don't agree with is a dangerous doctrine. |

You need a lot of help with tact. Anyway, it was not a custom that Paul was referring to in either his epistle to the Corinthian church or his letter to Timothy. That women were to remain silent was a matter of church conduct. There is not even a hint that this was to go on outside the church--only inside. That means it was church policy and we don't have a right or reason to change it. |
