1	Let your women keep silent?	1 Corinthians	prosemetic	117105
	1Co 14:34 - Show Context "Let your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the law also says." I have heard the argument that Paul only meant this for the church at Corinth, but in the previous verse he talks "all" the churches of of the saints. (1 Cor 14:33 "for God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints." The most logical interpretation, therefore, of the following verse, when he continues to refer to "churches" (note the plural) is "all the churches of the saints"...not just the churches of Corinth or Galatia or isolated places. How then, can we interpret the passage as not applying to all Christian churches? Is this not simply a rationalization to avoid the fact that it is no longer politically correct to subjugate women (in or out of the church)? How can we ignore the teaching of the New Testament simply because it is not politically correct in our age? Can those who claim it was only meant for the women at the particular church to whom he was writing support this with evidence to that supposition? If this position is taken with regard to this issue, how can we ever know whether anything Paul said was universally true or only intended for application to the particular church to whom he was writing?
2	What is meant by "it was the third hour"	Mark 15:25	prosemetic	114657
	Several places in the Bible it uses the phrase "it was the sixth hour" (or third hour, or ninth hour, etc.) From what point are the hours counted? I understand that the Jewish day began at sunset, so it seems logical that the "first hour" would be the first hour after sunset, but many references to such things as the "third hour" would make that during the darkness of 9 to 12 PM (as modern time is equated) and that doesn't seem to make sense with what was happening at that hour.
3	Evidence of different requirements?	Deut 22:12	prosemetic	113641
	Is there any evidence that one line of priests would not be subject to the same commandments as the other? It seems to me that both would have the obligation ( and desire) to observe all the commandments. Your point is well taken that we must be careful in attempting to recreate His image that we not substitute the image for the real thing and worship it. Sometimes, I wonder if we are allowing the cross to become an idol instead of a symbol.
4	How about leavened bread in lieu	Bible general Archive 2	prosemetic	113598
	Is it really important whether we use unleavened bread in commerating the Last Supper? If none were available, would regular bread be acceptable or would it be "eating and drinking unworthly?"
5	Why do all pictures of Jesus neglect one	Deut 22:12	prosemetic	113606
	Jesus came to "fulfill" the old law. Part of the old law was the commandments to wear tassles on the "wings" (corners) of his garment and to wear (Deu 22:12 "You shall make tassels (tzit-tzitot) on the four corners (kanafim...wings) of the clothing with which you cover yourself.) Since Jesus was without sin, I must assume that He observed this commandment. Why do you suppose have I never seen a picture of Jesus in compliance with this?
