Hello PaulS, Perhaps he was referring to Revelation 3:15-16. 15 I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! 16 So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. Steve |

Hello seekerofchrist, If I might add to Doc's good response: The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God (Romans 8:16) It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? (Hebrews 12:7) I mention these two verses because it shows God's intentions (sometimes painful) with His own. Unbelievers do not care about these things and will not give them a second thought. Steve |

186 | Women are to be silent? | NT general | srbaegon | 218339 | ||
I am giving a non-answer to make a point about exegesis, because your question has multiple facets to it. Here are questions that must be answered: 1. Were women required to be silent or quiet? 2. Why were women to be silent/quiet? 3. When and where were women to be silent/quiet? 4. What was the benefit, if any, of being silent/quiet? 5. What was the consequence of not being silent/quiet? 6. Can a Scripture passage be applicable only to a particular culture? 7. If a passage is indeed cultural, what textual indicators tell me it is only cultural? Or what later commands were given so it is no longer applicable? 8. If I consider a passage cultural, do I undermine the teaching of the book where it is contained? For example, If I say woman's silence is cultural in 1 Cor 14:34, do I negate the whole passage (14:26-39) which teaches that there is to be order in the church? After all, if one verse is cultural, maybe that section is cultural; or the chapter is cultural; or even the whole book is cultural. How does one know where to stop? Those are some random ideas to help move things along. Steve |

Hello Justme, Your cultural and experiential arguments actually undermine your position because the standard is Scripture. You are correct that the subject of women in ministry surpasses the bounds of just the pastorate, and it requires sound biblical exegesis. Steve |

Hello strts5, One idea is to get a grasp of biblical meditation. Use a Nave's Topical Bible or a concordance to search "meditate" or synonymous words to find verses. Then read each in context. You will find that meditation is nothing fancy requiring a special set-aside time. Rather it's just thinking on God and his Word with a view to correct practice. Steve |

189 | Should I get baptized again? | Acts | srbaegon | 217899 | ||
True, most would not follow given the consequences, but that is missing the point. David should never have committed those acts because they were of a sinful nature. They were contrary to God's desire. David explicitly says so in Psalm 51:3-4 3 For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. 4 Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you may be justified in your words and blameless in your judgment. David cries out for mercy, because he knows the sins he committed were flagrant, and there was no sacrifice that could be offered to atone for them (see Leviticus). He was guilty beyond hope according to God's law, so he had to go to the righteous judge of heaven and earth and throw himself on the mercy of the court. Steve |

190 | Should I get baptized again? | Acts | srbaegon | 217889 | ||
I was originally speaking of Nabal and Abigail, then extended it to Uriah and Bathsheba. But you have sufficiently answered my question enough to point out your error. The king was in a position to make laws concerning the civil administration of God's laws, but he could never supersede them. David wrongly had Uriah killed in order to cover up adultery. God confronted him through the prophet Nathan for both sins (2 Samuel 12:1-15). David then goes through a period of repentance and grieving for it (2 Samuel 12:16-23; Psalm 51). That being the case, we cannot follow David's example in this great sin though it is recorded in God's word. Steve |

You still avoid the question. I will restate it. Is any sin of David, whether as king or prior, permissible for Christians to follow in? Steve |
||||||
192 | Should I get baptized again? | Acts | srbaegon | 217883 | ||
You avoided my question. Do David's actions lend credence for believers to kill foolish men? And are we expected to be polygamous and marry the fool's widow after he dies as David does Abigail, being his second wife? Steve |

I am certain that BradK, Doc, or I would completely agree that the 66 canonical books are "God-breathed." That is not in doubt. The warning is taking a statement from a narrative book and building a doctrine around it. For instance, consider 1 Samuel 25. David went to Nabal for supplies for his men, but Nabal refused. David is upset and says, "Surely in vain have I guarded all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that belonged to him, and he has returned me evil for good. God do so to the enemies of David and more also, if by morning I leave so much as one male of all who belong to him." Does that lend credence to believers to kill foolish men? Of course not. Neither are we expected to be polygamous and marry the fool's widow after he dies as David does Abigail, his second wife. Historical narrative accurately tells us what happened. We can learn patterns of godly conduct from it, and there are even some precepts given in it. But to build a theology on it can be dangerous. Steve |

197 | Should I get baptized again? | Acts | srbaegon | 217693 | ||
Hello eascusa, You are correct that the biblical example is to be baptized as an adult. The general pattern (following the book of Acts) is: 1) Hearing from the word of God that we are sinners and that Christ died for that sin (i.e., the gospel--see 1 Corinthians 15:3-4). 3) Repenting (the first step of "turn their life around" as you said) and believing (with the evidence of obedience). These kind of go together, along with "born again" or "born from above." 4) Being baptized. To answer your question, I would ask, "Do you believe?" If the answer is yes, there is a second question, "In what are you believing in the first question?" That may sound strange, but I know so many people who say they believe that Christ died for their sin, then do their uttermost to both work their way into heaven and keep their future place in heaven by doing things. If you believe the work for your sin is done in full, then get baptized. If not, there would be no point because you have not believed the gospel. Hope this helps. Steve |

Hello Wofa Ato, What Doc said is correct. I might expand on his thought by focusing on the whole of discipleship--what the gospel is; how it should affect us; what it means to forsake all and follow Christ. Having been a youth leader (no longer though), I understand that youth will investigate many different things in search of solid truth. Give it to them with both barrels and eyes wide open. Steve |
