2401 | Women be Silent in church? submission | Galatians | justme | 52927 | ||
New to Boble: Paul was refering to a time when very few women had even a basic education. Paul said ther were to ware ahair covering too. This was the culture at that time. so no you are freeto do as your church allows in these matters. I should mention this varies from church to church.Ephesians, Philippians, and Galations give a lot of insight into the culture at that time as well. agape, justme |

2402 | Should women be allow to be a Minister? | Galatians | justme | 61217 | ||
neal: Welcome to the forum! Gal 3:28 Is a good stan firm verse. Many use this vers as a core theology in allowing women to serve anywhere in the church. This has been a widely debated issue for many centuries. So I doubt we can settle it here in the forum at any time in the distant furture either. Lets be fair and honest women do most of the work, be it at home, church, or the work place. For most women of our modern world they still have it a lot harder then most men. Now the ministry of the Nursery here is where you very seldom hear of men wanting to take over! Why not you may ask? No one dislike changing nasty diapers more than me! I think most of us strong manly hunks think that that is not ministry, right? Doing anything with snall kids is womans work in most churches I would say, from my observation. I am of the opinion that some of what we read, Paul was addressing the culture he was living in. We see simular cultures today in themiddle east. I can not think of the care given to jesus was more often than not done by women. Surely we have grown beyond the times of considering women as second class and below man. The sad thing is I know that in many churches today men make most of the choices, and far less than their share of the work. This is not as Christ would have it I am sure. Rarely, but on occasion there is a bossy woman who disrespects men, anf oversteps boundries. Then their problem with all men shows up with hardness and a mean attitude. No matter male or female this type of person needs a sign saying DOES NOT PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS. Men have it hard in ministry! Women have it even harder! I will ask you, are you ready to assume the Ministry of the Nursery? If not then you have answered your question. justme |

2403 | What if you visualize your wife? | Galatians | justme | 71232 | ||
Steve V: I have taken the time to read all your notes, and the one question you have asked. I wanted to get as much of an understanding of you that you have said about yourself before responding to you. So my desire is to give you some advice that might be of use, perhaps. Your divorce and the situation of divorce happens to more than half of all Christian marriages. That is proberly no suprise to you. I am sure you and you ex wife are attempting to "putting God first this time". I seriously doubt you can do this on a continued basis with out professional Christian Counseling. Yes, it cost real money! Yes, it will take more time! Most couples say "we can't afford it." If you or her had a life threatening illness that demanded an opperation, no cost would be to much to save their life, right? Well think of saving your marriage, in the same light as that is exactally the same, that's what it amounts to. I do not mean a clergy trained in pastoral counseling. I mean a Degreed PHd in Psychology, who has a srtong Biblical back ground. I believe your wife having an affair is just a tip of the iceburg! I can assure you that neither of you were meeting each other's emotional and spiritual needs. This would not have gone this far if BOTH of you had not failed each other! Cheating sexually, on you marriage partner is always due to hardness of heart! I can say with complete certianty, without correcting and dealing with her and your past you are bound to repeat the same mistakes! After reading about your addictive patterns, of abusing durgs you have some very serious issues to deal with, just in your self. Repenting, changing your direction and renewing your ninds will take more hard work than most couples are willing to endure. You have a rough road ahead if you really want to "putGod first this time." I sincerely hope you do, but the odds are not in your favor! Many couples say they want to have God love them, but refuse to repent and learn to worship and adore our Lord Jesus Christ as marriage partners. I pray you follow this to completion, so God may bless you beyond what ever pain and suffering it will take you to rebuild your marriage. I can assure there are those of who know of where I speak, and would say AMEN! May God direct your steps. justme |

2404 | What if you visualize your wife? | Galatians | justme | 71421 | ||
Steve V. I am so glad you took the time to to think, and decieded to talk with her! Bless you both. I can say with certianty that with each of you seeking Christ's direct will, and with much prayer and repentance, and needing each other as much as you need air to breath, your reward will be great. "LOVE NEVER FAILS" 1 Corinthains 13:8 Cling to this verse. When the work of putting your marriage back anew becomes such a burden, and it will happen, keeping this verse in mind with give you added encouragement. I know it works! justme |

2406 | A Perversion of the Truth-Gal. 1:7 | Gal 1:8 | justme | 89918 | ||
CurtMan: The watchtower is with no doubt a cult! I read your profile and you say you like studing about cults, or I think that's your meaning. Study the Scrpiture and after you have SOLID BASE THEN STUDY CULTS. Bank teach how to spot a counterfit by studing the real thing. I think this is good advise for Christians as well, Any thoughts? Blessings. justme |

2407 | A Perversion of the Truth-Gal. 1:7 | Gal 1:8 | justme | 90406 | ||
The CurtMan: I appreciate your feed back and think I understand your point. What is so hard to pick up on in these notes that we send back and forth is the tone and the meaning behind what we are trying to conver with printed words. Wise is the person that knows what the enemy thinks and believes. When others don't care to learn what you know, it is their loss. However if I learn all I can from someone else, it is I who is by far more richer. I find it odd that there are so many that have studied cults and know how to witness to these people who are in the cults, but I see so very little results. Most churches have some kind of how to witness class each year. But little fruit seems to come from this teaching. I am not so sure little results because "a lot of Christians have a difficult time explaining the truth." Perhaps it's like trying to light a candel with no wick. Maybe we relate head knowledge rather than a changed hearts with being saved? Scripture says to renew our minds, yet I see the same old patterns live on in many of us. I think you have hit a point I can say yes this is so. Most of us do not find ways to put Scripture that we read and bring it into application. I am sure if we did the baptistry would be used every Lords day! It is hard for me to see the perspective of Christians who never witness. With that I am not sure if many Christians really know not only what they believe, but lets go further and say they may know what they believe, but not who they belive in, Jesus Christ. I stand guilty and have no excuse for my unfaithfulness in witnessing. Any thoughts? justme |

The CurtMan: Your pen name is not what you are, that's for sure. I will share a brief but serious testimony of my life right now. Quite recently I have been on the receiving end of The Lord Almighties mercy and grace. I have cancer. I am taking radiation teatments every day, five days a week. My wife drives me 25o miles a day to get these treatments. I have had very unsual, sever reactions. The pain has been beyond words. I have had 35 treatments, and 3 left to go. The doctors have said my reactions are quite rarer. In this period of teatment I have been shown great compassion, and kindness from people that have gone out of their way to help me and my wife to struggle theough this ordeal. We have found people who are open to hear about our Jesus Christ. We did nothing but be ourselves. Yet some have asked us about our faith. This has been to wonderful to express how blessed we continue to be. So in the midst of suffering the Lord is with us, and uses others to minister to our needs. This experience has been challenging, painful, and a blessing. I have never felt that I am isolated from our church or the Lord. We have concerns as to the final outcome, which we should know in 90 days if all the cancer is gone. I have a special peace that I am in the Lords direct will and no matter what the results, nothing can interfer with the love that binds to the Father. You see, I believe witnessing is done in the normal traffic pattern of our life. That I can sau works best for me. Any thoughts or ideas? Blessings. justme |

2409 | A Perversion of the Truth-Gal. 1:7 | Gal 1:8 | justme | 90693 | ||
CurtMan. By the pen name, I mean you are not curt, quick to cut people off. I mean it as sincere jest of respect and kindness. I for the last 38 years have had one serious illness after the next. I spent a yesr in a US Navy hospital. I have seldom gone a year with out being in the hospital. I see the specialists the least is thre times a month. For a long time I keep looking at Romans *:28 and could see no good coming from any of this suffering. Then when I had reached a braking piont I prayed to the Lord to show me why Romans 8:28 was not true for me. I was desperate, and upset at the Lord. Them the Lord led me to read verse 29. There is said we are to be conformed to the likeness of Jesus His Son. How was that conformity to come? Through suffering! I then began to track verses in Scripture that deal with suffering. I now have a very lengthy thread and have seen that through suffering we are conformed to Christ likeness. With that It makes no difference if I see the good or not, it is the Lord who knows the why and hows of it all. That changed my life of pain and physically challenged body. I also am glad the Lord made me a type A personality, or I might have given up long ago. C. S. Lewis has writen some excellent works on suffering. The movie ShadowLands is very good and well worth buying if you ever can find it. I have watched it many times and that got me interested in Lewis's books. Yes we have a number of things in common. However the best of all is our shared salvation in Jesus Christ. Blessings. justme |

2410 | A Perversion of the Truth-Gal. 1:7 | Gal 1:8 | justme | 90939 | ||
CrtMan: I think we both have seen Psalm 139 describe out life and that the Lord does know our days even before we were born. To me that is an awasome thought. When anyone has a cronic illness the drain it takes on the family of the ill one is just as hard as the one suffering. Often the care giver gives out before the ill person passes or is well. Churches have a hard time being able to consistantly be of encouragement and keeping up the energy required to help year after year. I believe that to look into the Master and asking for wisdom and strength to endure is essential to enduring the long path that is set before one so bound by illness. Our attude is very important if Jesus is to gain praise for what is endured, as a good and faithful follower. Blessings. justme |

The CurtMan: As I read your note, it dawned on me. This loneliness is exactly what Jesus experienced on the Cross. Totally alone, He died to save us. So those who feel alone perhaps need to be reminded that Jesus knows exactly what they are going through. Thanks for that thought. justme |

2412 | Crucified Christians? | Gal 2:20 | justme | 99614 | ||
I have heard it said "Christians were crucified. I have herad this many times, and when I heard it recently, I thought did this include women, were they crucifed as well? Please when answering give the complete source so I may use it as well. Thanks and blessings. justme |

2413 | Crucified Christians? | Gal 2:20 | justme | 99622 | ||
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 |

2414 | Crucified Christians? | Gal 2:20 | justme | 99675 | ||
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 |

Doc: Very well said! To the point and I thank you for your responce. I was not drug to the cross. In a word picture Jesus held me in His arms on the cross. Love so tender and yet so firm, Jesus has rescued me, because He loves loves me. That Love is beyond our full understanding. Blessings Doc. justme |

2416 | Male-female equality? | Gal 3:28 | justme | 90505 | ||
RElderCascade: I took the class at Trinity in 1992. I found the book to be the same old order of husband first, who is the final authority over the wife, children, the dog, car, birds, and lower living things. I found this would be a great book for the 1950 generation. This class was taken foe a D. Min. class. The professor was great the book was very outdated. Atleast that as I saw it. What ever happened to equal submission, and being each others helpmates? justme |

2417 | Male-female equality? | Gal 3:28 | justme | 91151 | ||
Cascade: With no disrespect intended, I have made it a personal choice not to address anyone by a church title, Pastor, Rev, Elder, Deacon, or what ever the title trys to convey. In this Forum respect is EARNED by kindness, respect, and genuine reguard for each other. Your attitude is perplexing for me. No. I have no intention in handing you a wet blanket, just my opinion. How would one know that this book, is timeless and closed for my review? For me the only book that gets that kind of respect is Scripture alone. The fact that in the 1950's the family structure was much different than now, makes dealing with men and women of today different. If one has a marriage that is so structured as 50 some years ago, that in itself is a very rare occurance. I would suggest that there are better books for men and women to read, which would include equal submission and is more Biblical than a dictator ruling the home with a strong hand. As for wasting your time I sincerely regret the time I caused you to waste. I most assuredly hope my response is not too much of a waste of your valuable time or emotions. Perhaps when you have something kinder to say, with Christian respect, I would be open for further dialogue. Is this the way an Elder earns respect? Or is the title just a way of demanding respect? justme |

2418 | Male-female equality? | Gal 3:28 | justme | 91153 | ||
I am always interested in dialogue with mutial respect, kindness, and positive Christian reguard. Perhaps we have misunderstood the tone of one anothers writting. I except you explimation as to your title. I am weary of the titles used in some pen names when there is nothing to back it up in the Earned respect from others. Please except my open understanding of where you came from and the why's of it all. Blessings. justme |

2419 | Male-female equality? | Gal 3:28 | justme | 91282 | ||
Dr; Sells. Nice fellow but he present one way that all must follow or your marriage was not up to Christian standards. I saw many turn in word that did not represent how they really felt, but rather what would get a better grade, That's not honest, and leaves the proffesor with false assumptions that students beelieve his way was the correct way. Blessings. justme |
||||||
2420 | Male-female equality? | Gal 3:28 | justme | 91284 | ||
When coupled with the proffesor's teaching yes it could and he used it as such. Just as Scripture taken out of context can be used to serve one purpose, so can other books as well. Does this help? Blessings. justme | ||||||
