First of all, I am in the same boat as your pastor. I too am a pastor of a small church and work a full-time job. Thanks be to God who has made it a very flexible job that understands the needs of a pastor. You said you didn't agree with my interpretation of I Cor. 14:34. Honestly, I don't see how else to interpret "Let your women keep silence in the churches (notice, this is plural); for it is not permitted (not that it is not a custom, but, that it is not permitted--that sounds like a rule of faith) unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience which also (this is not part of the OT law for the law ALSO says this) saith the law." This is not a hard passage to "interpret." Again, you have to look outside of the Bible to come to the conclusion that this is a custom. If you are looking for commentary to help you with it, I would suggest you didn't look at some of these newer liberal commentaries. Look at some of the older ones which knew more about the Bible than the preachers today who are just interested in nickels and noses. As to Hosea, I am impressed that you mentioned that book. I preached on it not too long ago and I noticed people having to look to the index to see where it is. I guess we are tempted to stay in the New Testament more than the Old. Anyway, I believe Hosea divorced his wife. I believe this is seen in Hos. 2:2. However, I believe he took her back and restored her. I believe this is a picture of Israel. I believe presently that she is divorced from God (Jer. 3:7-8). However, just as Hosea prophesied, I believe the Lord is going to restore the nation of Israel and fulfill the remainder of the OT prophecies. God bless. |

You think my logic is flawed because you do not want to believe it. The fact is, Paul wrote a letter to a church correcting them on many things. One of the things was that they were allowing women to speak in the assembly and he told them to quit it. This is just too plain to be misunderstood unless somebody has a theory to defend. As for Jer. 31:33,34, no I do not believe this has been fulfilled. I believe this is speaking of the future--restored Israel. As for now, they are "divorced" from Jehovah as an adulterous wife. The church is the virgin bride of Christ. We must keep them separate. The Lord has not cast away His people forever. He will bring them back and that is what this is speaking of. |

Nothing against you, but, it's sad that we live in a day and age when such a question would be asked. I, as well as many believers (and as far as I can tell, most all believers up until less than a century ago)get that this is church policy from I Cor. 14:34--"Let your women keep silence IN THE CHURCHES (this makes it church policy--now listen to the next part and see if it sounds like just a customary thing) for it is NOT PERMITTED unto them to speak; buy they are COMMANDED to be under obedience as ALSO saith the law." Paul is not speaking here to Pharisees, he is speaking to one of the Lord's churches. If we believe that we can disregard this as "custom", we have opened up a can of worms that ends in Catholicism. Catholics openly believe that they have the authority to override the Bible and many protestants have learned that from her. I Tim. 2:11-13 says, "Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, ten Eve." You see, it wasn't a custom thing. It's a creation thing. Paul here was writing to Timothy--a pastor--instructing him on this same issue. There is no room in Scripture left open for change on this issue. The only way we can change it, is it wrongly label it as merely custom. If we do this with this issue, where will we stop? God bless. |

You need a lot of help with tact. Anyway, it was not a custom that Paul was referring to in either his epistle to the Corinthian church or his letter to Timothy. That women were to remain silent was a matter of church conduct. There is not even a hint that this was to go on outside the church--only inside. That means it was church policy and we don't have a right or reason to change it. |

5 | Christ dying only for elect? | Rom 5:6 | inHzsvc | 58727 | ||
I agree that people must believe. However, this is only possible by the regenerating power of the Holy Spirit. Faith is a gift of God (Eph. 2:8). Jesus not only says some "won't get it," He says some can't get it because they are not of His sheep. God bless. |

If you are at zero, you don't owe a debt. There's nothing to accept. If Christ paid for your sins, they are paid. There's no positive, negative, and zero. There's sinners who will pay they're debt because they didn't believe the gospel and those who trusted in the Savior Who paid they're debt for them. There is not a single verse of Scripture that teaches Christ put us back where Adam was before the fall. The Bible says, "we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us." Adam was innocent for he had no knowledge of good and evil. We are not that. |

Actually, you don't understand the Calvinism/Arminian thing. I Cor. 2:14 says, "..the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God for they are foolishness unto him, neither CAN he know them for they are spiritually discerned." And again, Jhn. 6:44 says, "no man can come to me, except the Father which has sent me draw him..." You don't understand the fall. Man is not sick, he is dead (Eph. 2:1). If your view is correct, there is still some good in man. However, the Bible says, "there is none that doeth good" (Psa. 14:1, Psa. 14:3, Psa. 53:1, Psa. 53:3, Rom. 3:12). There is nothing within man that wants God unless God convicts him of his sin and shows him he needs a Savior. I pray you will consider this and not just defend preconceived ideas. |

I have practiced this at times, though not at all every time. Generally I shake hands with folks. Surely, you see that you are grasping for straws in this argument. You are speaking about a type of greeting which is not necessarily in the assembly and specific instructions on worship practices. There is not doubt that women are told to keep silent in the mixed assemblies twice in Scripture. The thinking that we can just throw things out that we don't agree with is a dangerous doctrine. |

9 | Women speak in church? | 1 Cor 14:34 | inHzsvc | 25534 | ||
If you call believing the Bible for what it says "legalistic," then so be it. What I believe is that we should have Scripture to back up what we do. Do you not believe that? There is not one ounce of Scripture that ever contradicts I Cor. 14:34 nor is there anything to even hint that it was only for that time period. I find it hard to believe that Christian people today think we can just write off what the Bible says about things such as this. Look, the Bible is our "handbook." We are to follow it. We don't have anything else. If we can just say, "well, I think that's old fashioned", we can do anything. Please, for your sake as you will stand before Christ in judgment one day, take God's Book seriously. He wrote it like He meant it. God bless you and yours. |

Atonement means reconciliation. That means that Christ's blood acutally reconciled us to God--His blood made us "at one" with God. Christ said specifically that He gave His sheep eternal life and they shall never perish. Did the five foolish virgins make it in, you ask? Not to the wedding, but, there is no mention of them not making it to Heaven and there is no mention of them being eternally separated from. Christ, because of they're actions, didn't choose them to be in His bride. But, they were, nevertheless, virgins. This signifies that they'd been washed. Notice, when the Bridegroom called, all of the virgins arose. At the sounding of the trumpet, no lost will arise. I realize this is not the general teaching of this parable, but, there are too many unanswered questions if you think these virgins were lost. They simply were not members of the Bride of Christ which we all should be striving for. God bless. |

So, you don't expect to see David, Peter, or Noah in Heaven? We have Scripture. Scripture says, "He that believeth HATH ETERNAL life." Are you a possessor or eternal life? That's what being saved is. If you are, it is eternal. If Christ surely paid for your sins, you have been made "at one" (atonement) with God. God bless. |

No, thanks. I'll stick to the Authorized version. | ||||||

how ridiculous......I meant the doctrines were Scriptural and you know what I meant. | ||||||

Here's a web-site that you might enjoy reading. This guy is a Baptist and is in no way a big fan of Calvin. God bless. http://club.in-touch.net/home/ctmiller/gracetoc.htm You might have to type it in or just search www.altavista.com for "abandoned truth". |

I agree. However, any bit of "leaven", or untruth, can grow to this point. God bless. |

Well, I only use "Calvinism" as a term. I do not necessarily agree with Calvin on everything, nor, do I think he was right about everything. I don't see how you can say that men have debated without coming to a conclusion. I have come to the conclusion that the Doctrines of Grace are true--that Total Depravity, Unconditional Election, Particular Redemption, Effectual Calling, and Eternal Security are true. They are Scriptural. There is no Scripture, therefore, that goes against them because the Scripture doesn't contradict itself. Now, if other people disagree, that doesn't mean that the conclusion that I came to is wrong. It could mean that they are wrong and the Scripture is right. I will say this, if you believe what you said above, you must be more of a Calvinist than an Arminian because the Arminian doesn't believe the things you said you did. Remember, the definition of "grace" is "unmerited favor." Even when we deserved what the world deserves, God saved us without any merit on our part. God bless, and, thanks for disagreeing, agreeably. |

By the way, I believe he said that error was not a sin. Is the Jehovah's witness in sin? What about the Mormons? |

18 | Christ dying only for elect? | Rom 5:6 | inHzsvc | 6419 | ||
I hate to disagree, but, Scripture only supports one truth. It CANNOT support to opposing viewpoints. Now, as you said, we might both be wrong--I agree. But, if we misinterpret Scripture and misapply it, we are in opposition to God's Word and therefore, to God. That is sin. Is any religion that makes man the author of his salvation sin when Scripture says that Jesus is the "author and finisher of our faith?"(Heb. 12:2). I'd have to say it is because it takes away from God's glory. If I'm still missing the point, I apologize. But, God didn't bless me with a good mind. But, I thank Him for the gift of faith (Eph. 2:8,9) that He has given me. God bless you and yours. |

19 | Christ dying only for elect? | Rom 5:6 | inHzsvc | 6363 | ||
You mean to tell me you don't think it's a sin to believe something that is contrary to the Word of God? I've never, ever heard such a liberal position. What if somebody said they believed it was OK to be an alcholic? What if somebody doesn't believe in the virgin birth? Look, if something is not in line with Scripture, it is wrong. When you don't line up with God, it's a sin. We all have things, I'm sure, that we are wrong about and we need to study to get straight. Really, if you don't think it's wrong to be "wrong", why even study and worry about it? |

Is error not a sin? Do you not you think being a Calvinist is a sin? Joh 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. (AV) |
