2 | Alternative to the term "Jesus is LORD"? | Deut 11:19 | Fellow Pilgrim | 175319 | ||
I recently heard a CD by Tony Wright, the Bishop of Durham, where he declared (rightly so, I think) that the simplest form of the Gospel message is "Jesus is LORD!". He is LORD of the universe, and the Great Commission by Jesus is for His followers to declare this truth to the world. He said that this term used by the early Church was in direct contrast to a popular phrase during Biblical times of "Caesar is LORD!", similar, might I be so bold as to say, to the term used by the Nazis, "Heil Hitler!"; that is, an oft said public declaration by the speaker of who he/she believes to be the giver of life in all its fulness. While I firmly believe Jesus have a problem with the term "Jesus is LORD", both of my life and of the universe, I don't believe the actual term "Jesus is LORD" is relevant in a post-modern, anti-monarchic society. Young people in America or Australia, who no onger have a concept of royalty, except as something quaint, do not know the meaning of "LORD". Unfortunately Bishop Wright did not supply an alternative term that would have the same relevance today. I have wracked my brains for several days trying to come up with a good alternative. Can anyone help? |

4 | Can woemn teach/preach men? | 1 Tim 2:12 | Fellow Pilgrim | 175020 | ||
Is Paul saying women cannot, under any circumstances, teach men? I have recently heard the correct meaning here is that Paul does not permit women, who are tending to usurp the God-ordained authority (and associated responsibilities) of men in the church. This was a local problem, given the unusual place of women in Ephesian society. Paul does not forbid women from teaching men pur se. | ||||||
