1 | Is reverence feasible? Always? | Eph 5:33 | Rabbi Mark | 66269 | ||
Dear Cyclist: As you well should know, no one scripture can neutralize another. But all scripture works together to show the perfect will of God. In the verses you quote above Paul is addressing the Galations in regards to the issue of pride among them. This is why he says that we are all equal in God's sight. However, Paul states in 1 Timothy 2:12, "But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. I have clicked on mommapbs name and read her biography. In it she welcomes anyone to set her straight if she needs it. But from the very moment she answered one of my post, not even addressed to her, she had antagonism toward me because I did just that. Anyway, I foster no ill will toward her. I write for her edification. Like I said, they are bitter pills to swallow but in the end I hope she examines her heart and her motives and comes away better for it. Why do I do this? Years ago, when I was still young in the Word a friend told me that I had to "Work out my own salvation with fear and trembling." I was aghast. Where does it say that in the Bible, I thought. How can you work out your own salvation? Jesus did that for us. And why should I fear, doesn't perfect love cast out fear? Well, as I continued to study, I found that what he said was written in the Bible, and can be found in Phillipians 2:12. By my error, I learned not to take the Word for granted. I learned to investigate all things very thoroughly before taking a position on it. I began to check into not just what others assume about the Bible but what I assumed myself. Not only did I learn to reprove others with the Word but I learned to reprove myself. Now, I barely speak unless I am absolutely certain of what the Word says, for fear of leading someone astray. And I hope to instill that in mommapbs, Emmaus, and everyone else on the forum. God Bless You for writing, Rabbi Mark |

Mark, You quote, "However, Paul states in 1 Timothy 2:12, "But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence." But here is a instance where the woman not only wasn't silent, but spoke up and brought the whole town out to meet Jesus! :) John 4: 25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. 26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he. 27 And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her? 28 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men, 29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ? 30 Then they went out of the city, and came unto him. You also stated, "And I hope to instill that in mommapbs, Emmaus, and everyone else on the forum." Mark, this is not your purpose, that God wants to fullfill in your life. What are you going to instill in everyone on this forum that God has already done? Surely not teach the truth, I quote from the below verses; 1 John 2: 21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. 22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. 24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. 25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life. 26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. 27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, AND YE NEED NOT THAT ANY MAN TEACH YOU: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. Mark, we are family, the family of God, let's speak to each other as such! God bless |
