Tell me where Christ, Paul or anyone else in Scripture states that a woman (is not) to speak in the church. Gal 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. I cannot say that I personally feel comfortable with a woman as the leader of the church, but I wonder if the Jews didn't feel uncomfortable when they were lead into battle by Deborah. The Law stated in Deu 19:21 And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot. Jesus stated in Mat 5:38 You have heard that it was said, "An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth." Mat 5:39 But I say to you, Do not resist evil. But whoever shall strike you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. If you choose to be under the law, so be it. You would be wise to consider though, that you should observe the whole law. And that by the law which you so adamantly cling to, you will be condemned, for the law or the observance thereof has yet to cleanse any of their sins. Personally, I and all (true) believers, (those who have heard and accepted His “WHOLE” Word,) have accepted the fact that the law was imperfect. We have chosen "Grace." Being so adamant concerning the law, perhaps you should consider granting Paul’s wish in Gal 5:17. I like the NIV version in particular where that verse is concerned. “ As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves. George |

Jesus said, "Go . . . and make disciples . . ." (Matthew 28:19), not, "Make converts to your own thoughts and opinions." ____________________ "It takes God a long time to get us to stop thinking that unless everyone sees things exactly as we do, they must be wrong." ____________________ "Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free . . ." (Galatians 5:1). "A spiritually-minded person will never come to you with the demand-"Believe this and that"; a spiritually-minded person will demand that you align your life with the standards of Jesus. We are [asked]...to believe the One whom the Bible reveals (see John 5:39-40). We are called to present liberty for the conscience of others, not to bring them liberty for their thoughts and opinions. And if we ourselves are free with the liberty of Christ, others will be brought into that same liberty -- the liberty that comes from realizing the absolute control and authority of Jesus Christ. "Always measure your life solely by the standards of Jesus. Submit yourself to His yoke, and His alone; and always be careful never to place a yoke on others that is not of Jesus Christ. It takes God a long time to get us to stop thinking that unless everyone sees things exactly as we do, they must be wrong. That is never God's view. There is only one true liberty -- the liberty of Jesus at work in our conscience enabling us to do what is right. "Don't get impatient with others. Remember how God dealt with you -- with patience and with gentleness. But never water down the truth of God. Let it have its way and never apologize for it. Jesus said, "Go . . . and make disciples . . ." (Matthew 28:19), not, "Make converts to your own thoughts and opinions." (http://www1.gospelcom.net/rbc/utmost/devo/05-06.shtml) --Radioman2 |

Radioman2, did you respond to the wrong note? For this has nothing to do with the subject matter of the note it is attached to. George |
