163 | Unemployment cheques for the saints. | 2 Thess 3:8 | humility | 217765 | ||
Would it be lawful on behalf of a Church to provide a weekly cheque for members that are unemployed? Just until they find another job? A part of me is saying yes because the Bible says we should help each other, another part of me is saying "It would only open the door to laziness and covetousness." What should a Church do? | ||||||
164 | Why not braided hair for women? | 1 Tim 2:9 | humility | 215220 | ||
There we're some women in Paul's day who were not very modest. These women lacked the character that the holy women in old times possessed. The women in old times trusted whole-heartedly in God, and was totally submissive to their husbands.(1 Peter 3:1-6) But not in Paul's day, as you can see in verses 10 and 11 of 1 Timothy. They was loud and disruptive during church services. They even dressed the way the harlots of that era would dress. Paul was not against the plaiting of the hair like we do today, what had happened was, the women would braid their hair with pieces of gold, as decoration, running all through it. They would wear expensive, tight-fitted and skimpy clothing as well. The only women, in Paul's day, who would put on this kind of show, was the harlots (prostitutes) and the women of the world. Paul not only addressed this issue in Timothy's church, He also addressed this issue in the church at Corinth. (1 Cor 11) Sad to say, alot of Christians today, (men and women) ignore these admonitions as well, applying these principles to "Paul's era", and not for us. Some of us focus a little too much on the outward adornment as well, when, what is really precious in the sight of God, is the hidden man of the heart, "ornaments" of a meek and quiet spirit. The Prince of this world is using his people to transform some of us instead of the other way around. | ||||||
165 | Why not braided hair for women? | 1 Tim 2:9 | humility | 215225 | ||
Dear Azure, I think you read what I said just a little bit too fast. I said that Paul was NOT against the braiding of hair, I said He was against the style in which they did it. As they would braid their hair, they took melted pieces of gold and weaved it into their hair the same time. They also used gold as decoration for their hair. Paul thought all this was unnecessary. With the clothing issue, Paul did admonish the women to "adorn themselves with modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety;not with braided hair, or gold, or COSTLY array (expensive clothing)". Thanks for correcting me on the "tight-fitted" and "skimpy" situation. I might of taken it a little too far there. Plz forgive me. |

What do you say to a person who says, "I don't believe that Jesus is God because in the old testament, God told Moses that no one could see His face and live." What they are really saying is, if Jesus is God, then everyone who saw Him would've died. | ||||||

168 | Does God lead us to sin? | James 1:13 | humility | 215856 | ||
Let no man say when he is tempted, "I am tempted of God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he carried away and enticed by his own lust. Then when lust is conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death. (James 1:13-15) | ||||||

170 | What's Needful Is Also Lawful! Rom 3:28 | 1 John 3:9 | humility | 217907 | ||
What do you say to a sister or brother in the faith who trys to justify their wrong by saying , "I am having an affair with my boss because my husband is unemployed and now I have to carry the weight. My cheque alone is too small to feed my household so this is what I have to do. Adultery is the law but there's also the spirit of the law that Jesus came to teach us. Rahab lied to save the spies and was blameless, so why can't I commit adultery to save myself and my family? Jesus broke the law and was also blameless so I know I'm right in His sight! The letter was nailed to tthe cross baby! | ||||||
