1 | Women in Ministry | 1 Tim 2:12 | Searcher56 | 145897 | ||
Jirehway, greetings, It doesn't matter if you think you are called to the pulpit. It is not prejudice, excpet that it is Biblical proof of women in minisrty. You said "I do not assume or presume authority over the men in my churches". Very strnage that the person in the pulpit is not in authority. Are you not a leader (Heb 13:17) ... Do you not care for the church of God (1 Tim 3:5)? It also doesn't matter in the results ... look at the cults, and Satan ... they do well. Does God support them? You may refuse to debate - but I have asked you questions that you must think about. Read my above post, Searcher |

2 | Results DO matter | 1 Tim 2:12 | yayatheresa | 146251 | ||
I am very surprised at your statement "It also doesn't matter in the results..." Have you read where Jesus said "If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. But if I do, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me , and I in him." John 10:37-38? What if Jesus had not had "results" in His ministry. Also Mark 16:20 :And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen". And Mark 16:17 "And these signs (results) shall follow them that believe...." This is God's litmus test as to who is a believer? Each of us should measure our believing by our results. They do matter. These are only a few of the scriptures for your consideration. Are you implying that the confirmation God has promised doesn't matter. If that were true wouldn't you be saying that it is the one who is most able to articulate their faith one should believe is correct? I have heard Buddhists and Muslims and many other non-christian followers that are very convincing. If you believe that results really do not matter then you are leaving the unbelieving and unlearned to make their choice according to who they hear and who makes the best verbal argument for their faith. God is wiser than that. He knew the enemy is cunning and that is why He confirms His Word with "results". I understand that Satan can do some signs also. And of course God does not support them. The magicians withstood Moses and his wonders for a time. But all they could do was create the same curse (to a point). They could not bless the Egyptians by removing the curse Moses brought. Read it yourself. I hope you will see. |

I think about Acts 5:34-40 as well as cults, like the LDS and Watchtower. Look at their results, as well as others. They look great - but are of God? I also see churches that have breath (many in numbers) but lack depth (most still need the milk - not ready for the meat) (Heb 5:11-14). The results don't matter - they can be misleading, so is not absolute proof that God has His hand in it. |

Ok, so we don't agree. However you scripture reference of Acts 5:34-40 is one I would consider to show that results DO matter. Isn't Gamaliel saying that if this is of God it won't go away? There will be results. ???? | ||||||

Hi, Vavatheresa... What Gamaliel is realizing is that God preserves His own work. Where we have to be careful is how we measure "results." Perhaps we need to qualify the word by "Godly results." Remember, prophets like Ezekiel and Jeremiah had no converts. In our way of looking at things they "had no results." Nevertheless, each walked in obedience to God, doing just as He had instructed. I hope I'm not muddying the waters here. However, I agree with you that results do matter. I also agree that results don't matter. :-) The key is, as I've said, what we mean by results. In Him, Doc |
