2 | Why does God respect Satan's opinion | Job 1:8 | Finder | 233068 | ||
Hey CDBJ.... You have some serious reasons to backing you up on this issue... And I am very thankful to hear your objective answer to my question. But still... who would care to clarify the conscience of evil beings like Satan or these spirits in prison regarding their failure in their intended mission? Wouldn't it be better to leave them alone suffering with confusion and uncertainty? Do you think their knowledge of the real situation would add to their commdamnation? But why would God care about clarifying things to evil spirits, when Job was all along ignorant of what was going on, not even knowing that such spirit as Satan existed? Man... how I suffer because of ignorance, and God bothers in making evil spirits aware of the mysteries of life, while we have to be groping in the dark like Job.... I still don't seem to grasp the whole deal well... But do thank you for your contribution... Best wishes, Finder |

4 | Women can indeed teach and preach | 1 Tim 2:11 | Finder | 221767 | ||
Hello, From Paul’s other letters we can understand the context of his remarks. He does not contradict himself. Col 3:18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. 19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. Eph 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 1Co 14:34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. 35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. The Greek word for wife is ‘gune.’ The Greek word for woman is ‘gune.’ Same word. So, we must look to the context to discern which meaning is intended. In each example above Paul is speaking of the husband/wife relationship. He is not speaking about the woman’s capacity to minister in public. We can see this from the numerous examples of women ministering in the New Testament. Phebe Rom. 16:1-2 Pricilla Acts 18:26, Rom. 16:3-5, 1 Cor. 16:19 Euodia and Syntyche Phil. 4:2-3 Junia Rom. 16:7 Women who pray and prophesy in church 1 Cor. 11:5 A woman evangelist Jn. 4:1-42 How the woman was created Gen. 1:26-28 Prophesy about women in the last days Acts 2:17-21 All are equal in Christ Gal. 3:28 All men are not in authority over all women. Christ is the head of the man and Christ is the head of the woman. In the order of the marriage covenant, the man is the head of the home, but spiritually the woman remains under the covering of Christ and submits to the husband ‘in the Lord.’ Wives are not to usurp authority over their husbands. But they certainly can and do minister effectively in the body of Christ. Blessings, Finder |

Dear Cheri, I can see your point, and of course I know you are right. But adding the required patience for this process to take place to the circumstances I am living with, which, by the way, won't give me neither the luxury of having enough time to study all the theology I need, the "Disneyland with foundations" stands as the most appealing "option".

Dear Cheri, I think you ask that because you have not paid attention to my recent questions. The difficulties on this struggle have to do with the basic fact: Why would He create a sinful person (like me)? This doesn't sound too perfect to me. So, in the level of relationship, it is also clear that I have nothing to offer either. What could a sinful person have to offer to a God who, if I stood in His presence I would die? (except with a ressurrected body). So, it makes death as an unavoidable issue. Daily. Because, after all, even with the "imperfection" mentioned at the beginning, if there is anything good, it obviously comes from Him. Excuse me for the "flare" word. It was a typo. I meant "fare". Concerning the "Yesterday is too late" is that I can't wait to get out of this unproductive existence and get in touch with the "real thing" - soon. In your analogy, the "Disneyland with foundations"... Maybe the following verse will do: 1 Corinthians 13:12 Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. Finder |

Dear Cheri, It is kind of you to be interested in this. But I really don't believe it would be of any spiritual benefit telling you the story. It would only be an interesting psychological thriller as some say, specially as some psychologists I know say. But I was struggling to defend the integrity of my conscience and the only small measure of thuth I knew, and a small faith. My lack of knowledge of the revelation of God's attributes and character didn't help in significant expression of love and faithfulness. (Not that I know much of it now. As my previous note may indicate). Finder |

Hi Cheri, I even rehearsed how I would answer your questions and show you how I "flared"... and for a moment I forgot that I was rehearsing to tell my story on a public site... even though I am anonymous here.... Although I never had a premeditated reason for "flaring" in my 10-year "persecution". And it would be crazy to expose such a bleak picture in this site. And there isn't the remotest reason to do so. All I can say is that I came out with mere clean conscience. And I mantain my point, Paul got all the best gifts... Not because of the gifts themselves. But because of the knowledge of God he had through them. Even in the most "ordinary" gift, he got it better than anybody else: 1 Corinthians 14:18 I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you. And, what is my "reaction" for that promise? Y E S T E R D A Y - I S - T O O - L A T E ! |

Thanks for the tips Cheri, I will take a look at e-sword and see how it works. By the way, your comment regarding the need of knowledge/answers and faith, leads me to ask you another question: What is in faith that makes it so central for pleasing God and have a relationship with Him? What is the essence, principle, nature, or virtue in it that makes it so necessary for walk, living, practice, salvation, and relationship with God? After all, the apostle Paul was knocked down by Jesus on the road, a light from heaven flashed around him and he heard Jesus talk to him. Then, some time later, he went up to the third heaven, which makes me think that he didn't need very much to exercise "faith". He KNEW and experienced things in a very "concrete" in a very "lively" way, with no time or need of trying to figure out what was going on between him and God regarding matters of relationship, sanctification, work, ministry, and I guess he even knew when he was going to die... (just a sudden consideration here...). Thanks again, Finder |

Hi John, When I got home last night, I read your message and lost the rest of energy that was left... Didn't even answer the message and went to sleep. The point here is - Don't get worried about me. If you get worried about me, I will get worried about you because you are worried about me, and this kind of thing is not gonna help us get ANYWHERE... But I look a quick look at how the picture looked like at the site here, and I noticed that you were having fun trying to jump a all with a rope with blazing fire in your back, or something... So I lightened up myself too... I think I will be able to answer your questions better in the future. Right now I need to check the material from Doc, I don't know if one day I will come to terms with that, but I never thought that I would have to learn theology to exercise my faith... But my mind is LOADED with questions and it is unavoidable to work on them. We talk, Finder |

Dear Doc, I may have not expressed the concern related to logic in a clear way. By no means I would minimize the relevance and necessity of taking logic in consideration. But what I meant is that that particular doctor I referred to, used some isolated points as he concluded his thoughts on Theodicy, and said that he was basing his conclusion on "logic", without providing a legitimate context where the laws of logic could be applied. Anyway, it was just an observation that I made, with the purpose of trying to get the indication of some name that would treat the matter with more "balance" and sensitivity, (for lack of better words). Thank you for your help, observations and encouragement. Finder |

Dear John, I marvel at your kindness and frankness..... But the impressions you got from my questions that you included in the upper two parenthesis don't have anything to do with the pain in my soul that leads me to look for this answer. But I had not thought, neither can not guarantee that "my way" (which has not been understood by my questions) would stink or not... But "my way" is not the point. Keep enjoying your peace! It sounds beautiful! I will remember your comments. Thank you, Finder |

Thanks Doc, The words,"theonomy, anthropology, theology proper, hamartiology, soteriolgy,etc" sound too esoteric for my level and I do not have money now to buy a single piece of paper and an envelope to try to send a letter to heaven with my questions, "so to speak". I just took the time I should use for looking for a job now asking this question because I can't stop thinking about it. I thought a forum might explain why the Devil stepped in between me and God. And if my reasoning seems flawed to you, I can't do better. I can see by the mountain of golden books you mentioned and read, that you are in a much higher level of education than me and it seems that it would be useless for me to try to expect that some crumbs might fall from your golden table for me to eat. But I do thank you for showing how things work. Finder |

Kalos, It was very kind of you to have taken the trouble of finding this valuable piece of information to me. Is this MacArthur Study Bible a software of some kind or you copied it from the Bible itself? I appreciate your comment too. Thank you, Finder |
