Doc: The issue I have with some of what you say, is there is no attempt to seek a meeting of the minds. I respect your views, but it comes accross that you are right, and the final authority. I had hoped for a kinder dialogue. You are correct that culture should not dictate our understanding of Scripture. However without understanding the culture in the time of the writtings of Scripture, we are left to assume that the culture was inspired, which it was not. My "arguement" is not an arguement it is a observation. I have witnessed the missapplication of Scripture to put a heavy burden on fellow believers, by well meaning teachers. By taking cultural settings in the Bible and applied them to believers today. That was and is my point. I am puzzled how we have some of the most skilled Doctors, Seminary Proffessors, Missionaries, and the list goes on, who are women, and yet some churches would have such people sit quietly in the church, with no use for their wisdom. I am not advocating headship over a male, simply the recognization of equality in spiritual gifts, and abilities. I offer my response in kindness, respect, and a dialogue in Christian Love. I would consider myself as the person that James speaks about as being asked to give up his seat for a more wealthy person. The word picture I am attempting to paint is, You have asked me to get out of the furthest back roe "knowledge seat" and you expect your widsom to take the final word. Is nothing correct but your view? To this I would say that fokes dont care how much you know; until people how much you care. I think I have been put down, and my intention was not to challenge but to dialogue. Blessings. justme |

justme this is devon and I agree with you totally for sometimes we are caught up on what each letter of the Word says that when the Spirit of God speaks rhema to our spirit we can't receive it because we have become so dogmatic in our approach to scripture that we over look that the bible teaches it is Spirit who leads us to all truth. I'm just focused on help belivers mature in the gifts that God has given them and not to become stagnent in their spiritual growth. P.S. please respond asap | ||||||

Just a question if I may? I thought rhema never contradicted logos. Isn't that what is happening here with the scriptural support being giving. I'm only asking because I'm curious and would like to understand a little better. If rhema doesn’t reconcile with logos, is it really rhema? WOS |

Dear freind the word logos is GREEK and refers to Jesus as being the Word of God with in turn is the scipture. Now dealing with rhema it does not contridict the logos but it is the Spirit of God applying and giving understanding to what is already written. Now according to this scipture you quoted I still belive that Paul was not stopping women from operating in their calling or using thier spiritual giftedness but that under the proper authority which is man to function in their full compacity. This belive this is important because many men I being one have hindered many women from their calling. Let me further clarify I understand that God has created us equally in that because I'm a man God hears me better but that we were given different roles. This not to diminish or reject the role as mother,wife, helpmeet which are all important. But to the dismay of some God has gifted many women with the ability to teach and as the call of prophetess just nust not pastor in which they would have to take authority over a man. Remember that after Jesus rose from the dead accorinding to Matthew 28 and 1- 10 it was Mary Magdelene he told to tell his disciples he had risen which in other words is the Gospel. please respond | ||||||

Hi Devon, I'm not sure I want to engage in this seemingly endless debate...? However, with that said I don't think that the fact that Mary Magdalene was the one to first tell the disciples substantiates that women are called to preach! Where in scripture is the role of prophetess given? Cretainly there is a God-given order for all things- particularly church offices. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
