1 | The word "Bible" | Matt 1:1 | Hank | 178965 | ||
Hello, Justme - The English word 'bible,' not unlike many other English words, has a long and interesting etymology, as Doc has noted. But the word is not applied only to the sacred Scriptures of Christians but to any publication that is preeminent, especially in authoritativeness, such as "the fisherman's bible." Now it strikes one as being a bit odd that a secular work, e.g., a fisherman's bible, would be considered authoritative and its content rarely challenged, if indeed challenged at all, while busy-bodied fools of every generation have pecked at the Holy Bible like chickens pecking at grains of corn in a vain effort to prove it false. They, many of them have already passed away, and all who follow them will in turn pass away, but praise be to God, the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endureth to all generations (cf. Psalm 100:5). ...... Good to hear from you once again, Justme. I pray that you are well. --Hank | ||||||

Hank, brother in Christ: Thank you for your response. You bring out an important thought. As if to add more authority, and trustworthiness, in placing the word "bible" makes the product more marketable. After prayer, I do not want to cause disruption in the forum. I do not want to be the small stone that starts a landslide. Therefore, not wanting to ignore your request concerning my belief about "Women in Ministry". I hope my respose is considerate and Christ-like, in my attitude, and I am able to show my genuine respect for you and others in this forum. To mention the phrase "Women in Ministry" immediately evokes all kinds emotion. Much like when those of us living in "America's Tornado Alley" hear the word "Tornado"! Just mentioning the subject of "Women in Ministry", and the topic becomes personal. The topic of male-female relationships, working together in ministry, is a study in depth to ascertain exactly why or if womenare and should be called to minister as leaders. I want to reccommend "BEYOND THE CURSEWomen Called To Ministry" by Aida Besancon Spencer Thomas Nelson Publishers 1985. ISBN 0-8407-5482-5 There is only one Book I find nothing I disagree with, the BIBLE. So as with all books written by mankind, there are parts of the book written by Spencer I too do not totally agree with. To avoid any disruption I sincerely offer this view of Women in Ministry as a reference for perhaps personal growth, and a challenge in thinking. May God bless this rather than devide us. Justme |
