101 | Should women be allowed to preach? | Galatians | Scribe | 50536 | ||
Amen Shalom, very well said. I think the Holy Spirit is still saying the same thing he said through Moses, when he said.. I would that all God's people were prophets and that he would Put His Holy Spirit on all of them. God bless you. | ||||||
102 | Should women be allowed to preach? | Galatians | Scribe | 50520 | ||
Dear Grace and Truth, in what seems to be a passionate response, you seem to be saying that 1 Timothy 2:12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. Says something other than what it says. I am suggesting that we do indeed declare that the Word is true and mans opinions and interpretations that go beyond the text are suspect. This verse means what it says. To go beyond what it says and say that women should not Preach or Teach the Gospel is wrong. To agree with the text and say that "women should not teach, nor to usurp authority over the man" is correct. Now whether a woman should be a Pastor is not mentioned here, though it is elsewhere. I will not take that up at this time. That women did not teach in the New Testament or Acts is a lie and not the Word of God. The Word of God tells a different story. Here are a few examples. Acts 18:26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly. The text says THEY expounded unto Apollos the way of God more perfectly. Priscilla is included so I will agree with God's Word that a woman was used to teach a man along with her husband as a team. Let God be true but every prejudice of men all lies. Titus 2:4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, Here the women are teaching, and we are convinced they are teaching the Word. Philippians 4:3 And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life. They did labour in the Gospel and you might say it was not in preaching or teaching but that would be an opinion not the Word. It is interesting how some will apply the term "labor in the Gospel" in all other passages to mostly that of preaching, but then in this one they feel like they should change it so that their prejudice and rebellious spirit toward listening to a woman teacher can find justification. Acts 21:9 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy. Now we know that prophesy has to do with words that come out of the mouth. The women here are in a gathering that includes Paul and Luke, and other saints. A church gathering. They are speaking words out of their mouths, according to Paul in 1 Cor 14 they are doing this to edify the church. So ok if you insist on saying a woman cannot teach in the church, even though as I posted that is not the exact wording of 1 Tim 2:12 but an interpretation, then at least you will agree that women can prophesy. I love to hear women prophesy don't you? May God bless you in your study of His Word. |

Women can preach. But this is not correct that Paul had a different opinion than Jesus. To say so is cult territory. Read my respons below on how Paul did not say a woman could not preach. | ||||||
104 | what does the sons of God (6:1) mean? | Genesis | Scribe | 48208 | ||
This question is dealt with in a very thorough way in many commentaries that are available on the web for free. I think it has also been addressed here on this study forum. If you do a search on Gen 6:4 you will find excellent answers dealing with the scriptures. Read posts by Ron and Makarios and many others. I will not attempt at this time to re post all the great answers already given. But I will add a couple of thoughts as to why this error of the idea of angels mating with women still has not been put to rest. The truth of this passage is a foundational truth and if satan can muddy it up it goes a long way in helping him with his stratedgies against the godly. From the beginning of time one of the main wiles of the devil against the saints has been to get them to compromise with the world. You see this lesson here with the sons of God which are Adams camp and the children of men which are in Cains camp. The lesson was first taught in Gen 1 when God put a difference between the light and the darkness. If we take Genesis as a stand alone book for a moment, and use all fairness of logic in understanding the text, you would assume based on the way the text says the sons of god saw the daughters of men.. that some mention had been given of these sons of god sense no further explanation is given. And indeed we find at the end of Gen 4 that at the time of Seth.. then men began to call themselves by the name of the Lord. And no doubt call upon the Name of the Lord.. as they sought a better country. and a city not made by hands. However over here in Cains camp we see men making all sorts of tents and instruments of liesure and earthly industry. Now we know that putting it in todays activity we see no harm in inventing muscial instruments and making things of brass, and crafting tents after all Paul was a tent maker, but see this is an ancient text and seeing that Cains camp is making these things and not Adams means the sons of God were looking for a change, a redemption, a restoration to what Adam knew in the garden as promised to him in Gen 3, the time keeps going on and Enoch who lived some 360 years contemporary with Adam is prophesying the coming of the redeemer, and Enoch is having to contend with mockers from Cains camp that are teaching false doctrine. Yes even the same doctrine of Balaam. (read Jude) now what did balaam teach? that if the moabite women would mix with the Israelites they would be cursed by their own disobedience to God. You have this same lesson repeated throughout the bible all the way to Revelation. And then in Rev the words of Christ to the Church.. that they too are going to have this same attack from the powers of darkness to tempt them to listen to the doctrine of the Nicolatains, the Doctrine of Balaam, and the doctrine of Jezebel which are nothing more than a repeat of the same heart sin.. compromise with the world. Come out from among them and be ye seperate. That is still the message to the sons of God today. And so see why thinking this has to do with angels and women has no redeeming value or lesson, and yet my application is applicable throughout the bible. Follow the Holy Spirit and do not resist His Leading.Even if Jobs passage is about angels and that has not been proven.. It does not mean that these sons of god in Gen are angels. Nor does it mean that angels in Rev 2-3 when addressing the church meant angels, but instead it was a symbolic word given to mean pastors, and the reward that waits them if they are faithful, which is that they will be "as" the angels. In Lukes genealogy in tracing back Christ to Adam when he gets to Adam he says "which was the son of god". God bless you in your study of His Word. |

105 | Who were the son's of God in Job? | Gen 6:4 | Scribe | 48203 | ||

106 | Binding and Loosing. What is it? | Matt 16:19 | Scribe | 46941 | ||
OK that is the surface. But what about these statements.. Flesh and blood hath not revealed it to you but my Father in Heaven... That is spiritual... and then when Paul says to deliver such an one over to satan, well that statement alone opens up our minds to a whole panarama of spiritual truth about certain powers of darkness that are at work when the fallen unrepentant one goes outside of the fellowship of the church, hoping that by that means of the discipline of the havoc performed in his life as a result of having been made "exposed" to the devil that he will come to his senses and repent and be recieved back again. Of course it is spiritual and the whole reason we shun the Roman Catholic Approach to these passages is becuase we all saw how they removed the spiritual from them and applied them only to the idea of outward church government and used them as it were for all manner of abuse of civil/ecclisatical government over the private affairs of men. Now we have come along way since then and yet in some areas such as this one we still find little in the way of new understanding other than what the Catholics always said it meant. It is amazing how many commentaries still state that this passage means Jesus gave Peter the authority to rule the church in governmental decrees. | ||||||
107 | after death, right then, what? | Bible general Archive 1 | Scribe | 46913 | ||
This is a quote from Psalms Psalms 68:18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them. Proverbs 30:4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell? See this concept is carried over by the words of Christ and Paul when it is mentioned again... John 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. John 20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. Ephesians 4:8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. Before the ascension of Christ no man had access to go to heaven when they died. They were held in Abrahams Bosom or Paradise, if they were righteous, then when Christ ascended and made the way..then men went up in his train. Now we also go there. |

If Christ is now seated at the right hand of God and Paul says to depart from the body is to be with Christ then we must go to heaven. Then when the time is come, we will have our bodies resurrected. That is what it looks like to me so far. Until I see otherwise. | ||||||
109 | Binding and Loosing. What is it? | Matt 16:19 | Scribe | 46812 | ||
I do not understand your question. But I see something here about a person being given over to satan for the destruction of the flesh becuase he is not willing to repent. It is a spiritual subject. I see it as a spiritual matter. Not a mere outward governmental matter of certain ecclesiastical rules and regulations but the context in Matt 16 reveals that Jesus is talking about divine revelation, or "you did not get this from man but my Father in heaven revealed it to you" and so in Matt 18 it seems as though the same subject is being dealt with which is that if you send out the unrepentant man from the midst, there are certain spiritual forces that will be allowed to affect him. It is a mystery but I think that is what I am seeing. | ||||||
110 | Thorn in the flesh | Is 57:1 | Scribe | 46557 | ||
All that you have stated is true that is what I normally see when I hear my brothers and sisters in the Charismatic church praying and binding and loosing. This is why I do not have a problem with the application they use of binding and loosing. If they are praying for someone to be free from the bondage of anything and they are praying that God will bless them with His liberty and they are full of the Love of God and Faith by being filled with the Spirit, it does not matter much the exact words they are using. If they are saying binding and loosing then I do not really care. But if that is what these verses mean I can not see it. Becuase I do not see Paul or others ever praying that way. It seems to me that there is an authority given to saints from these verses but my understanding cannot seem to get it. I see that if I pray for the brother to be free from alcohol and I pray that this brother be holy and know that power of Christ that is in him as a result of faith that I am accomplishing the same thing in the spirit realm that the brother who says I BIND, and I Loose thinks he is doing. I only see satan addressed a few times and told get behind me or the Lord rebuke you and it never seems to be while the saint is praying as I see it done so often by the charismatics. Don't get me wrong I believe in the Gifts of the Holy Spirit for the Church as defined in the NT but I don't see an example of saints addressing satan in one breath and praying to the Father in another while in coorporate prayer. As a matter of fact this sort of bothers me. However I do not think God is limited by such things, He still hears the heart and faith of the praying saints that are doing this. I think praying "God grant thy children boldness" is scriptural but then in the next breath saying "We bind the spirit of fear" seems somewhat senseless. If it causes the saint to have faith I suppose it has value, but where can I see in the scripture that saying "I bind the spirit of fear" does anything that "God grant me boldness" has not already accomplished. If the binding and loosing verses mean what the charismatics think, then I want to do it. If the authority that is given to saint when Jesus says whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven (and I do not see the greek saying "must already be bound in heaven") is an authority that is over the powers of darkness which would fit the often mentioned promises of Christ to the believer then do I exercise it in instances of say demon possession, casting them out? WOW! I just had a revelation! Jesus was talking about binding the strongman. In that context he was saying He was greater than the devil, and John repeats this when he says Greater is He that is in you than He that is in the world. I think I am seeing it as I write these words. This has to do with a legal battle. The devil is the accuser. The power the devil has is legal the devil can do things or is allowed to do things through legal accusation. We can bind his access to a heavenly realm or courtroom of accusation. WOW!!! Consider the story of Job. Consider the passage about satan being cast down in Rev not allowed to accuse the saints before God (some heavenly level). We can file motions as it were to keep the devil barred from entering in the courtroom to accuse a brother that has sinned against us? I think there are things going on in the spirit realm that we effect in prayer and intercession even if we do not use the words binding and loosing. And also there is something to the context about kicking out the one that will not repent. So when he goes out from the church after given every chance the Lord lets satan do things to his life that he was once protected from with the hope that the brother will repent and come back having been disciplined by the misery of sin. The spiritual darkness that want to destroy may be held back not by his past relationship with God but on our account that walk with God, so when we tell him go out of the church and do not comeback until you are ready to repent only then can the powers of darkness do what they want with him. This is very sobering. |

I have read the verses you posted and I am still wondering about the correct application. So far from reading the binding and loosing verses I would have to conclude that Jesus is giving the saints some sore of authority. | ||||||
112 | Thorn in the flesh | Is 57:1 | Scribe | 46475 | ||
I am interested in your thoughts on binding and loosing. Is it as my charismatic friends understand it, to bind and loose spiritual powers as it were or is it about forgiveness. Or is it both. Does it have to do with asking the Lord to forgive a person that has wronged you adn thus giving that person a greater chance of salvation? So that when a saint prays and intercedes and asks the Lord to save and deliver people they are loosing, and if they hold someone accountable for their wrong doing they are binding? Or is it that of saying "I bind the spirit of alcohol" and such like that I often hear, but do not see an example of in the scripture. I am interested in scriptural dialog about this. Thanks | ||||||
113 | Two different groups of 144,000? | Rev 14:1 | Scribe | 46345 | ||
Or as the 4 beasts that have the face of man, lion, ox and eagle are in the throne and coming out of the throne and the 24 elders around the throne all say they are from every tribe nation, people and tongue, thus making it clear that the 4 creatures is a message and not meaning 4 special creatures, and the number 24 is a message and not just 24 special people, then it stands to reason that the 144000 number and the tribes named is a message and not just 144000 special males jews. This fits into the whole truth stream of Dan, and Rev and so I take it as symbolic of a greater truth. | ||||||
114 | Thorn in the flesh | Is 57:1 | Scribe | 46207 | ||
I understand your skepticism as a result of an unscrupulous or even false prophets that will continue and increase in these last days. However let us consider the Word of God as our only rule of faith and practice as it pertains to doctrine of healing. Now we see Jesus the apostles and non apostles such as Phillip, and others doing signs and wonders, never bringing glory to themselves but to the name and faith of Jesus Christ. Never once did they say this will only last until the John writes Revelation so to say so is a guess on our part and not a word from the Lord. We see in the scripture God's method was to use men to lay hands or other acts of faith. Stacking them up like cord wood? I don't know about that but I do see in the Bible that they gathered along the way so that just Peter's shadow passing by would be a point of contact for them and did the Glory go to Peter? Well the catholics would say so but we know better, the glory always went to Christ. We see Paul having handkerchiefs (sweat cloths) taken from his body and used as pointd of contact , points of faith so that those that touched them were healed. Why does God need laying on of hands from a man or a cloth or a shadow of a man to heal? He chose to use man to minister the things of God. The man is not the power the Lord is. God chose to use praying as a means of obtaining from God what we desire. Doesn't God know what we need before we ask? Yes but he still waits for us to ask in faith before He gives it. God has chosen the foolishness of preaching the Gospel to save them that believe. Can God save a man without another preaching to him, sure but somewhere along the way even if it is from the bible alone, someone preached. That God chooses laying on of hands or other such means, yes even prayer cloths or shadows passing by to heal the one with faith in Christ is not for us to complain about. God knows what He is doing. If you are following the pattern of the Word then you can have faith for laying on of hands, a shadow of a faith filled man passing by or even cloths sent from his body in faith. If you are making up your own ideas how can you have faith for that? The Holy Spirit is always speaking faith, never does the Holy Spirit say doubt. If doubt comes into our minds it is not the voice of the Spirit. Is there a precedence of New Testament stories of peoples being healed alone with no point of contact from other believers? Maybe you can find one somewhere but is not the obvious pattern that of "faith to faith?" Even as I write these words I pray that there will be someone somewhere in all the world that will begin to believe God as never before and that my faith will affect their faith and that we may be comforted together by the mutual faith of both them and I. May God Bless you in your Study of His Word. |

Continued from previous post Consider the parable of the widow and the unjust Judge, it is in this context that Jesus said when the Son of Man returns will he find faith on the earth. The answer to most scholars is that of a negative. No. Well some yes but not as it should be. Few will have this faith of this widow that keeps coming back and will not be denied what is hers. I see this as very pleasing to God. Let the theologians that know more than you tell you that God expects us to go by the word today and does not need to manifest miracles, as these signs were only for confirming the message of the apostles until the word of God was written (howbeit they had the scriptures always) Let the doubtful and fearful and unbelieving think what they will, but be different in these last days and declare that you will be a believer in God and His power on earth and not just in Heaven. Be different and say God you are no respector of persons and you change not, if faith moved you then then faith will move you today. I will cryout to God to recieve healing, wisdom, spiritual growth, and all things I need for life and godliness and I will not be denied, even as this widow would not be denied and you asked when Jesus comes again will He find such a one. I would have you say, here am I Lord, find me!! What do you think it is more pleasing to God to say I believe! or I doubt. It is always God's will to bless the beleiver, even when it was not the plan of God to send Jesus to any but the lost sheep of the House of Israel the woman that came to Him said Truth Lord but the dogs eat of the crumbs, as if she was saying You are so Great I only need a crumb and my daughter will be healed. And what was the answer of Christ to her? Was it "it is not the will of God" for in all truth it was not at this time the will of God. But Faith moved God to grant it anyway!!! Oh my dear brothers and sisters, let not your faith be quenched by the sad stories or soft words of well meaning but carnal thinking man. Rise up in faith and lay hold if it were on just the hem of His garment and you shall be healed. May God Bless you in your study of His Word. |

Continued from previous post Believing in the Bible stories of how people were healed who had faith in Christ to heal them during his ministry on earth and afterwards in the stories in Acts and other passages does not mean a saint will never get sick. There must needs be sickness that healing be manifest. If there were no sickness there would be no need for healing. But now we see sickness and therefore we still need healing. When that which is perfect is come and we see him face to face in our bodily resurrection then we will have perfect health and there will be no more need for healing. It is pleasing to God for a handicapped person to give their whole heart to Christ and be content to serve Him in their bodily infirmity. It is not Pleasing to God to blame bodily infirmity on God. It is Pleasing to God to have faith. It is never pleasing to God to say God Can't Heal today. God is not limited by any so called "dispensation" a theologian tries to construct. And I am glad for that. How many miracles would have been left undone if God listened to the theologians that we have left the despensation of miracles behind. If you do not believe in healing for today it does not mean you are not saved or cannot be saved. Howbeit I do not see how a saved saint can limit the Grace and Power of God and think to themselves "God is not willing to heal" and think that they are not possibly at some fault in thinking so. It only takes a casual reading of the Gospels to see that a lesson seems to be repeated over and over again, "Have Faith in God" and in nearly every account the lesson is "having faith in God to do the impossible" Calm the stormy wind with His Word, Open blind eyes that were blind from birth, heal the incurable leper whose flesh was already gone, heal a lame man lame forty years whos legs were not doubt atrophied, Raise the dead and reverse the effects of rigormortus, And such things were not only done by Jesus but he sent the apostles to do the same, and not the apostles only but we see even men such as Phillip the evangelist and one of the seven deacons who reveal the qualification of these signs and wonders in that it was said they were mean full of FAITH and the HOLY GHOST. And all this agrees with Mark 16 of which some would like to rip from the pages of their bibles but nevertheless it remains to this day.. "these signs shall follow them that believe.. they shall lay hands on the sick and the sick shall be healed." Yes God can heal a wheel chair bound person today and it does not matter if her legs are atrophied by disuse any more than it did when Peter said.. silver and Gold have I none but such as I have give I thee, in the name of Jesus Rise up and walk!" But when Jesus comes back will He find faith on the earth? Or will he find a church that has constructed religous sounding nice explanations about why we should not have faith for such things today. A people that will say they have faith in a God who is far off and of whom they do not expect anything today is lip service and demonstrates no faith at all. It is one thing to say God if it be they will heal me one day in the future. It is another to go out on a limb and say I believe I receive RIGHT NOW and expect something to happen. But then what if I don't get it? you say? This is not the kind of faith that recieves healing. The faith that recieves from God is the faith that will not be denied. Continued on next post |

This post and your additional post concerning Paul and the statements he made is exceptional and some of the best reading I have come across in this forumn so far. You should put these thoughts in a book and give it to people who are sick. I believe you have clearly laid out what the Bible says and what I understood when I read it without human intervention. The only conclusion a fair treatment of scripture yields in this subject is that Paul must be speaking of wounds from persecutions and we never read of him being sick. You have let scripture interpret scripture. The idea that saints have become sick and even died of their sickness does not make void the Word of God. I am glad you took the time to post these verses. Don't let the gain sayers, doubters, and unbelievers keep you from posting. There will be thousands that might believe on the The Lord because of your faith filled words. This is what we should use these forums for to post faith filled words that others might read and be drawn closer to Christ. The harsh accusations and arguing spirits are not of God but of the flesh. The servant of the Lord must not strive but be gentle toward all men, apt to teach.. God Bless you and Thank you. | ||||||
