1 | Can women be preachers? 1Cor.11:4,5 | 1 Cor 14:34 | LisaMarie | 26310 | ||
Indeed! When we fall into that trap of absolute certainty in our own opinion isn't that Pride? A big no no? True or no, I like it. One of those bits one must read in a number of translations I think. Hugs, Lisa |

2 | Can women be preachers? 1Cor.11:4,5 | 1 Cor 14:34 | There | 26332 | ||
Hi again, There are definitely places in scripture that are left "iffy" for us, but there are also many teachings that land right on the dime. And when they do, we have to stand fast on each of those issues. Pride in our own opinion is definitely wrong, but standing on God's word is not pride. It's necessary. He is the only Person that does not lie. An example of what I mean... I was in a discussion today with someone who thinks homosexuality is not sin because he believes it is an innate trait in some people. My response was pretty simple. God says homosexuality is an abomination [sin] (Lev. 18:22), and that we can choose to sin or not to sin (Gen. 4:7)... so therefore homosexuality is a choice. I suggested he simply believe God's word instead of taking the word of any man about it. There are many other issues like that too... where God's word is clear. And praise God, any and all sins can be forgiven us if we repent... (all but blasphemy of God's Spirit that is). God bless you, LisaMarie. |

God bless you as well, There! I agree wholeheartedly with what you've said here. We all have "appetites," right? Wants, needs, desires... Some we're born with, some we learn. Some are harmless. Some are sinful. Even to let the fairly harmless "appetites" run rampant is a sin. (Gluttony.) The Lord wants us to control our bodies. Not jsut as it pertains to unnatural appetites either! Complete control. Thus our minds and spirits also fall under our control and are then easily turned in the correct direction. Towards HIM. I find such peace when my heart and mind in a free moment turn to God and to prayer. When it runs rampant with things I need/want to do? ugh. Hard to sleep at night. I find I get to church in the mornings and apologize to the Lord for being so flakey. Hugs, Lisa |
