1 | EdB, Is promise here for believers today | Ex 23:25 | yayatheresa | 146757 | ||
Searcher, yes it is. Theresa |
||||||
2 | Who is Israel? | Ex 23:25 | yayatheresa | 146815 | ||
Yes I do. Thank you for the scriptural reference but it does not apply here. Their ministries are word based. Therefore because I highly esteem the word above all else, I esteem these ministries. Theresa |

3 | Who is Israel? | Ex 23:25 | yayatheresa | 146839 | ||
I will choose to believe you have responded in love. I maintain that I highly respect and honor these ministries and especially Kenneth Copeland's Ministry. They are anointed of God. I will respond to you also in love. Psalm 105:15 |

4 | Thank you | 1 Cor 13:1 | yayatheresa | 146492 | ||
I hope this is an appropriate way to use this forum. If it isn't just let me know and I'll try to measure up. My husband and I began posting here just over a week ago and we are having such a good time!! I want to thank you all for being patient while I have learned how to tell who I am speaking to, how to follow the thread. (I have a new meaning for that word now!) etc. At first I felt a little bit like I was being...well I'll say attacked because I can't think of another word, but I have read over much of what has been written and I can see that you have a great love for God and His Word as we do. I can see that those of you who were discussing with me about "results" were just telling us to be cautious to follow Jesus and not the wonder. I see some accept a woman in ministry and some don't. I see some (us included) believe God has provided healing for everyone and some don't. As long as we all love Jesus and want Him glorified above everything else, I guess the rest is great discussion? It certainly makes Robert and me study more. We do want above all else to know and understand the scriptures as God intended them even when they don't match up with our thoughts or traditions. I hope I have phrased this well. I wanted to tell you that I appreciate the obvious multitude of hours you have spent in the Word and I can feel the love of God over this forum. Thank you and God Bless, Theresa |

5 | Jesus decended into hell? | Eph 4:9 | yayatheresa | 169221 | ||
Hell is located in the lower parts of the earth, not on the surface of the earth as the grave. (Eph.4:9; Mt. 12:40; Psm. 63:9; Is. 14:9; Pr. 9:18; Pr. 15:24; Ez. 31:14-18) God Bless you in your study of His word, YayaTheresa |

6 | Jesus decended into hell? | Eph 4:9 | yayatheresa | 169275 | ||
Sheol is the only word translated as hell in the Old Testament. I realize it is also translated grave in other verses but if you change it to grave at every instance then the word hell is never used in the Old Testament. Sheol is translated as pit in Numbers 16:33 where we see Korah and all that appertained to him go down into the pit alive. It is clear from this as well as other passages that the location of hell is in the heart of the earth (Mt. 12:40), the lower parts (Ps. 63:9 and Eph 4:9) Qeber is the Hebrew word for grave or the place of the body in the seen world and is never translated as hell. Sheol is the place of conscious souls and spirits in the unseen world. At the time that our Old Testament patriarchs were speaking and sheol-hell was translated as grave in a few places there was a section in the unseen world where their souls and spirits went. It is referred to as paradise (Lk 23:43) and was where righteous souls and spirits went before the resurrection of Christ. There was a great gulf between it and the torment compartment of the wicked souls (Lk. 16:19-31). They were in comfort awaiting their liberation from that place which came to them when Christ descended into sheol-hell and took captivity captive. (Eph. 4:8-10). Only the wicked go to sheol-hell now. God Bless, Yaya |

7 | Women in Ministry | 1 Tim 2:12 | yayatheresa | 145848 | ||
I have spent some time reading the notes, questions and responses on this site. This is my first note. I am a woman. I do not write this as someone with a personal and official ministry such as Joyce Meyer(?), Gloria Copeland, Paula White, etc. I am the wife of a deacon and considered a deacon as well in my church. I am also someone with a personal relationship with Christ and consider myself to be part of the "Great Commission" of Matthew 28:18-20. As of this writing that is the extent of my "ministry". I thank God for it and do not want to sound as if I minimize it. Only to assure the reader I do not have a personal agenda in what I write. I am seeking to know the truth as God declares it regardless of how it affects me personally as a woman. This writing of Paul in 1 Tim 2:11-12 as well as 1 Cor. 14:34-35 are the main texts given as to the silence of women in church. (Please anyone knowing of others let me know) I believe Paul explains the text in 1 Cor. by his response in V. 36. "What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?" He, as I understand, is responding to thier own teaching (V34 and 35) with his answer (V36). I will paraphrase it this way, "Are you serious? Are you God? and did you send out the word? or do you think you men are the only ones the word can come to?" The text in Timothy causes me to ask some questions. #1 Who is the man that the woman is not to usurp authority over? Is it any man at all? her husband? the male authority in her assembly? Or could it be Jesus Christ himself? #2 The use of the particular word usurp is important. One definition according to Webster is "to seize or exercise authority or possession wrongfully" Doesn't this sound like the woman here is trying to assume authority OVER the person (man or woman?) that God has placed in the position in question? Timothy was left in charge of the church in Ephesus where the main focus of the city had been on the worship of the goddess Diana. (Act 19:27-28) Could this spiritual wickedness have been a reason for this verse? I do not want to appear to say that this text is not for all times and all people. It is, as is all scripture. I have a problem with scripture being explained away with phrases such as "that was for their culture" or "that was for their time". I am convinced that God the Holy Spirit was not only in control of the content of the Holy Scriptures but also of preserving the exact content he wanted. No doubt there were letters and sermons that were for certain assemblies at certain times in history. These were not preserved by God to be set forth as timeless and changeless truths for all mankind. I know of no assembly of believes that adhere to a strict 'women in silence" doctrine. If we believe this is what Paul is teaching in 1Cor. 14:34-35 then women cannot be vocal at all in church. Not to sing, to testify, nothing. We cannot just pull out certain areas of speaking (preaching, teaching, etc.) and apply them here. If he meant keep silent. Then silent women must be. Does this line up with the multitude of other scriptures where women spoke about God and were used of God? For me it does not. Even in the Old Testament women could choose to: be a Nazarite (Num 6:2), be a prophetess (many instances Old and New Testament), Deborah was a Judge of Israel. Surely she had some authority over men in that position. Priscilla and her husband Aquila taught the man Apollos (Act 18:27). What is this? Can a woman teach one man and not two?. Is it the number of men present when she speaks or her geographical location at the time? Can she only expound and give what she has received from God only in her home? I am still learning and coming to an understanding of this and other, teachings. I am teachable and want with my whole heart to know the truth as God gives it. So I do not write this as an absolute. I would like some responses here to weigh out. For those who would wonder why I do not ask my own husband. We have studied this together and are of the same opinion and have the same questions. He has read this note and is interested as I am in the response we will receive. |

8 | Women in Ministry | 1 Tim 2:12 | yayatheresa | 146207 | ||
Thank you for each of your responses. I need to clarify that I was not writing because I am struggling with a call from God for myself. I am satisfied that I am doing all that He has asked of me at this time. I say it in that way because I do not want to make any declarations about what He may ask in the future. I want to be open to the Spirit and available for any assignment. Being prepared is the reason for my note. I was looking for council from others more mature than myself so that I might be able to give answer to those I frequently encounter that object to entire ministries, even those with male leadership, because a woman may speak there from time to time. I hope this is an appropriate way to use this website. To glean from the abundance of spiritual knowledge and council available and apply it to "exhort and to convince the gainsayers" (Titus 1:9) I desire to be more articulate and better equiped for this work as I have a large family and work among people who frequently challenge me in many areas of my faith. Some of their questions are difficult to verbally answer. I also realize that often the person who initiates these challenges is beyond convincing at the moment but they usually choose to do this in the presence of others and it is for the sake of those listening I need to be equipped as well as I can. Does this make any sense? I feel like I'm rambling so I'll stop. |

9 | Women pray and prophecying and teaching | 1 Tim 2:12 | yayatheresa | 146254 | ||
I responded to quickly to your question. I am not sure where you get your 1Tim 2 about prophsey. My bible translation says "teach". Is that what yours says? I am not splitting hairs there is a difference. Look at my post on Women in Ministry. I have some questions about this scripture also. | ||||||
10 | Results DO matter | 1 Tim 2:12 | yayatheresa | 146260 | ||
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. ???? | ||||||
11 | Results DO matter | 1 Tim 2:12 | yayatheresa | 146266 | ||
Thank you, I understand what you are saying. I'll consider it. | ||||||
12 | Results DO matter | 1 Tim 2:12 | yayatheresa | 146278 | ||
Good point. never heard it before, but then I was not aware that people frequently referred to Gamaliel's words as doctrine. | ||||||
13 | What we mean by results | 1 Tim 2:12 | yayatheresa | 146284 | ||
Am I missing something? We began by talking about whether or not ministries should have results. Whether it is Ezekiel, Jeremiah, or you or me-God, of course, is doing the work. He gets all the glory. The point is we know they were used of God because their ministry had results. Their prophesies came to pass. | ||||||
14 | What we mean by results | 1 Tim 2:12 | yayatheresa | 146289 | ||
No. Deut. 13 gives the test of a false prophet. Even if the sign or wonder he gives comes to pass and he attempts to draw people to another God then he is a false prophet. Ministries that are ordained of God will always procaim the Lordship of Jesus Christ. | ||||||
15 | Still trying to understand | 1 Tim 2:12 | yayatheresa | 146301 | ||
Thanks I will get the hang of it. | ||||||
16 | What we mean by results | 1 Tim 2:12 | yayatheresa | 146302 | ||
Of course not. Every ministry ordained of God will always point to Jesus and only Jesus. But God is still the one who said He will confirm His word with signs following. | ||||||
17 | Still trying to understand | 1 Tim 2:12 | yayatheresa | 146304 | ||
I think I'm getting it now. Sorry about the confusion. | ||||||
18 | What we mean by results | 1 Tim 2:12 | yayatheresa | 146318 | ||
Sorry about the mixup. I didn't realize when I began to discuss results that everyone was assuming I meant numbers. I don't I mean God confirms His word. He confirms His anointings. There has to be some sort of results. I never meant numbers were the only result. Sorry about that. | ||||||
19 | What's up Doc? | 1 Tim 2:12 | yayatheresa | 146319 | ||
Searcher...... From the short time I have been here I wouldn't say that. You both have given me a lot to consider. YaYa |

20 | Ministry of God? | 1 Tim 2:12 | yayatheresa | 146328 | ||
