24 | Whats a womens place in the Church? | 1 Tim 2:12 | 2Tim215 | 180383 | ||
Okay. I know this sounds wierd, but just hang with me, here. I was baptized at a young age, but there was no faith. In 2000, our church did the Fourty Days of Purpose (by Rick Warren). I realized I had to get my life straight. "but I'm already baptized!" I protested to the heart-wrenching knowlegde I had to accept Christ as my savior. I couldn't stop thinking about it. The feeling is like a persistent whisper, and yet so powerful it almost makes me start trembling. Well, this time I told God i'm sorry for my sins, and would he please save me with Christ's blood? I knew I'd done the right thing. i went forward in the Invitation to be baptized (again) but this time I knew I was following my Lord (see, my Dad wasn't too hot on the whole idea but I did it anyway). Now, I found something Ezekiel did/saw/whatever! in the Old Testament–you know, when he's standing in the cave and God was like, stand at the entrance when you hear me come by. So the wind, fire, and earthquake came but God wasn't in them. Then a whisper came and Ezekiel knew it was God. This feeling is like a river, taking my heartbeat with it. It's the smallest whisper; the knowledge that I MUST glorify Jesus's name and share some wisdom he's given me. Example: One day, our pastor was talking about walking on the water. He said we have to be like Peter; he obeyed his lord and walked on water. But, we have to keep our eyes on Jesus or we'll sink. Well, his words made me think of Cross Country, in which I run. See, the rules of "water walking" are just like CC––You have to keep your eyes up (on jesus) or you slow down, You can't walk off the track/quit or you're disqualified, etc. and I KNEW, down in my heart, that I needed to share the revelation with the congregation. I didn't have a single "good" reason to go forward and tell it except that that feeling was shaking my world. So I went forward. Another example: A friend of mine has anger management issues like you wouldn't believe. He's angry at everything and everyone, including God. Our church has a Christmas Play every year (it usually includes the nativity, but it has a different plot every year) and I got the Feeling to invite my friend to it. I knew it would be hard. He's always with his other friends, and he kinda scares me anyway. But I swallowed my huge fear and gave him the invitation anyway. I guess you could call the feeling a burden, too. It's like a weight on the shoulders of my heart. I would be credulous about the feeling, too, if it wasn't for the fact my words spoke for Jesus's name every time. it feels good to get that out onto paper. thanks for asking. god bless. |

thanks. Rebuke may not be fun, but it sure gives a lot of wisdom. And thanks for making me see I wasn't being completly clear. It stems from having a friend who goes to church but doesn't belive in Hell. Aside from that, I think of hell as where god is Not. You know, he is the I AM; he is here, now, and every single second of the Present is occupied by Him. another friend of mine thinks Hell is satan's paradise. "He's used to fire!" he says. "How is hell going to hurt him?" So I say not even Satan can lift a finger without God ordaining it. In Hell, Satan will be tormented forever in the Vacuum created by God's absence. And I know; God is here, but torment is here, too, because the first humans chose Sin instead of obeying God. Thanks for correcting me. I stand gratefully corrected. god bless. |

Hmmmm…I never thought of it that way. Thanks. Although, I think when it says, "every man will be judged for his works," it means everyone, believer or not. Isn't there a verse somewhere that says, basically (because I have an awful memory) something about goats and sheep, the sheep to his right and the goats to his left? I don't know. Now, I don't know what you meant in, "People can believe what God is telling them now, in His Word, or they can believe it when it’s too late!" Because the Bible says, "Every man has been appointed to die once, then be judged." (somewhere in the NT) No offense or anything. I'm easily confused. Anyway. Now, asking which of the Trinity may be judging my be splitting hairs again; I think all three will judge because they make up one God. God is supreme, he knows what you did wrong, the Holy Spirit will testify, and Jesus will be the one cementing our fate; if he lived in us through the Holy Spirit or not, he'd know. Of course, the only thing I remember about judgement is us belivers are going to be judgers of angels, but that has nothing to do with this. : ) Oh yeah; I remember something else!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay…somewhere it says, again basically, "Everything we've done will be as if it's been passed through the fire when we are judged." The point is, whatever didn't make it though the fire is worthless. And I KNOW this verse is in the Bible; I spent a whole week thinking about it this year. Probably in the Johns or Corinthians? IDK. thanks for the wisdom! |

Okay, I've been thinking. 1. We are saved FROM the Curse of sin, we are saved from the Law (because the law leads to death), and we are saved from death. Look in Hebrews for being saved from the law. Oh yeah, by the way. No offense!! I'm not very bright and I don't know what "eschatological" means…I can understand by the context, but please remember who you're "talking" to…thanks… anyway. 2. In fact, I don't think they SAY hell is seperation from God, but when you put two and two together, four comes pretty close. a. How can God possibly punish people in a place where He is? b. and besides, all the descriptions of hell (the fire doesn't go out, the worm never dies, etc) point to the absence of God. Why? c. In Job, we see Satan come before God and have to ask to torment the goldy man. Even Satan is bound by God's will (of course!) and a place without God is pure torment. No light, nothing to hope in, nothing to enjoy with a pure joy, no relief from pain, the list is endless. 3. "I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE. NO ONE COMES BEFORE THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME." (somewhere in the gospels) John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life." I don't know, but that's pretty clear to me about what Jesus says in the way of eternal life. And I salute you for "Need I cite 2 Tim 2:15?" But I have a lot of friends who split hairs about what the bible says, instead of foucusing on the most important. Sometimes, we have to "debate" and discuss, but it must be in sacrifical love and submission. We cannot overlook misunderstandings, but must correct them in LOVE. thanks. |

I agree with both Adam and Eve being in the image of God. After all, He gave both genders the brain, soul, and authority over the earth (genesis 1:28). And I've never thought of man and woman being one body and the female is the inner organs…thanks… |

and you are absolutely right. I stand corrected, and I'm going to think for a very long time. one last question, just because I'm thinking, not because I want to jab at you. What if there is something that must be done–I must do it. But, there is no one to speak for me. What do I do? thanks. |

We offer our bodies to God by doing what he wants us to do. Usually, it is sacrificing what WE want for what God wants. And I think you're on the right track. Keep digging! |

Women are told to remain silent because Man was made first. In marriage, the man is the head of the woman, and Christ is the head of the man. And, two sexes are only one flesh in marriage. But, everyone comes to God through Jesus so in that sense we are equals. And I am a female. I will admit that I have gone to the front of the church during the invitation to say something God has lead me to say before EVERYONE. I think that it is better to obey God than to follow 1 Timothy 2:12 and sin in disobedience. Of course, in all of this, I am not very wise yet. Rebuke is welcome. Personally, whatever that is on the outside is just a reflection of what's on the inside; like my pastor says, "What's down in the well comes up in the bucket." But, physical looks are meaningless. I know a lot of ugly people who are the nicest and wisest I've ever met. Who I associate with stems from who someone is on the inside. god bless |

Well, this might be splitting hairs. I think that when the bible speaks of heaven, they're really talking about the place where God is. It's where his throne is, and where the fourty elders and the four beasts worship at his feet. (Rev. 4) After judgement, it's union with God, living where he IS. It's in contrast to hell being seperation from God. When we're with God, there is no sun and no moon, because God is our light. (Rev. 21:23) I would think, since Night is symbolically where sin reigns, there will be no night or darkness in heaven. Or the New Jerusalem. Whatever. Because wherever it is, God will be there and be the light therein. |

THANK YOU!!! And I truly appreciate the wisdom. See, I heard an interview on the radio with this one preacher in california. At first, he was doing awesome, then he got tired and just quit the race! Now he preaches…hmm…inclusionism, I believe. I felt really sad. And as you said, he tasted the heavenly gift but fell away. And you're completely correct, I do believe. This helps a bunch. Thanks again. |

Thanks! The only problem is, the "get bible text" only has two versions, NASB and Amplified. I really do prefer NIV or KJV. Of course, I am blonde, so who knows. thanks though. |

OKAY!!! I FOUND IT!!! I makes me really happy, in a childish sort of way. 1 Corinthians 13:11-13 says "For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known." I should have known it was in corinthians!! god bless ya |

Thanks for those points…about the books? Check in revelations where we see the judgement seat…and the books will be opened, then the book of life was opened…I will be back as soon as possible with that "we peer as though through a darkened glass" thing…And I do have an excuse: I remember what I read in the bible, I just don't remember where. It drives me nuts. AND, I use KJV or NiRV translations. thanks, man. |
