21 | Biblical - women preachers/teachers??? | 1 Tim 2:12 | Pam D | 123699 | ||
2scholarly websites - different conclusions Dear Searcher, A very scholarly debate has been going on in the last several years regarding the equality of women in marriage, in teaching men, and whether the Bible teaches that woman can become pastors. Egalitarians believe that the bible teaches that marriage is mutual submission of the husband and wife to each other. They believe that woman can teach men, and that woman can be pastors. Their website is: www.CBEInternational.org Commplementarians believe that the bible teaches that woman are to be subject to their husbands, should NOT teach men, or become pastors. Their website is: www.cbmw.org. As a woman, I would really, really, REALLY like the Egalitarians to be right. Many of their arguments sound so convincing. They sound so fair. They agree with our current culture in this country regarding the equality of women. (In fact I’m sincerely hoping you or anyone reading this can show me that they are right) Unfortunately, I’m thinking that their interpretation of God’s word is incorrect. Of course there are many articles to read on both websites, each stating their own views and refuting the other's views. But one article kind of summed it up for me. May I suggest you read the article on www.cbmw.org titled “An Open Letter to Egalitarians” by Wayne Grudem in the Journal for Biblical Manhood and Womanhood. Click on “Journal”, then click on “Browse the Journal Archives”, Scroll down to Vol 3 No.1 to read the article. I was surprised to find (after I did a search) that no one has mentioned either of these two websites or their organizations on this forum before. Blessings, Pam |

www.carm.org has very detailed information on the doctrine of God with supporting Scriptural back up. It also has detailed information on many other Christian doctrines. In addition, this web site has detailed information to help refute false cults. Hope my answer is not too late for your Bible study. Blessings, Pam |

Check out www.bsfinternational.org web site. It gives the locations of Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) Classes that are held all over the world. BSF offers a four-fold approach to studying the bible. First, you do personal bible study on a passage. 2nd, you take part in a small group discussion on what you studied. 3rd, you hear a lecture on what you studied. 4th, you receive a 6-8 page "commentary" on what you studied. BSF classes meet every week, from Sept to mid May. I think you will benefit greatly from this study's fourfold approach. Blessings, Pam |

27 | Can one who commits suicide be saved? | Ex 20:13 | Pam D | 106231 | ||
Ohh Ed - What a terrible mistake I have made. I fervently hope and pray that my comments have not enabled anyone to feel justified in committing suicide. I am so grieved at the thought of that, that I am writing this with tears streaming down my face. Truly, I was hoping to comfort the loved ones left behind. I don't know how I could have been so stupid. Please, please, tell me how to delete my posts on this subject. With immeasurable great sorrow - Pam |

Dear Makarios, Thank you for taking time out to respond to me and others on this website. I have seen other postings of yours and benefited greatly from them. I pray that someone trying to understand this subject will benefit from our postings on it in the future. Have a wonderful day! Blessings, Pam |

29 | Can one who commits suicide be saved? | Ex 20:13 | Pam D | 106014 | ||
Dear Makarios, I'm sorry, I'm a little unclear as to what you are saying. Are you saying that a person who IS saved and commits suicide will STILL be saved? That is what I believe. If that is what you are saying, I'm not sure how Matt 12:31 proves it since "HeirofGod" believes that God does not forgive suicide, because "if you are dead you cannot ask for forgiveness"! When a person is saved, all of their sins - past, present, and future sins (like suicide) ARE forgiven the moment they accept Jesus as their savior. So, the answer to the question "Can one who commits suicide be saved?" boils down to the fact of the eternal security of the believer - which is why I posted the example of Samson, a believer who committed suicide who was still saved (Heb 11:32) after committing suicide. Blessings, Pam |

30 | Can one who commits suicide be saved? | Ex 20:13 | Pam D | 105941 | ||
Dear Makarios, I think that everyone knows the biblical perspective that God is soverign over who lives and who dies and when. I thought it had been established already in this thread that suicide is murder, but it is not the unpardonable sin. And I fervently pray that those on this thread would agree with your statement that “when we despair, we must have faith that God will see us through. We need not take matters into our own hands.” But the question was, "Can one who commits suicide be saved?" My point WAS that Samson was justified (saved) even though he had commited the sin of suicide and that Heb 11:32 proves it. Perhaps I should have been more clear. I do not think that the other circumstances involved in Samson’s death would change the answer to the question, “Can one who commits suicide be saved” - do you? “Beelersweethome” makes the point that “Saul killed himself and Samuel had told him he would be with him the next day (1Sam 28:19). Since I believe that Saul was saved (1Sam 10:6,9,10), I think this is another example of a saved person who commited suicide and still was saved. But I don’t think it is as clear cut as the Samson example. Also the posts by "RonL" and "SavedbyGracein98" indicate that that they would like a definite answer on this question, because they both know people who have committed suicide. As I said before, many do not believe in eternal security and I thought an example of one who commited suicide and was saved anyway would be helpful and comforting to those who have lost loved ones in this way. Blessings, Pam |

31 | Can one who commits suicide be saved? | Ex 20:13 | Pam D | 105884 | ||
I searched suicide and found that those that said what I consider to be the right answer (that one who is saved and commits suicide will be saved) used for Scripture backup verses that indicate you cannot lose your salvation. Now I believe one cannot lose their salvation, but I realize others do not believe this and that is why I thought it would be helpful to post an example of someone who committed suicide and was saved. In my search on suicide I found only two posts, (both from Tim on 7/3/03 and 7/4/03) that connected Samson's suicide to Heb 11 hall of faith and that was on a discussion of what made Lot a righteous man. Blessings, Pam |

Samson killed himself,is in Hebrews hall of faith In Judges 16:28 Samson prayed to the Lord to give him strength to get revenge on the Philistines for gouging out his eyes. He said, "Let me die with the Philistines" and apparently God granted his request, because he pushed the pillars with all his might and the house fell on himself and 3000 plus Philistines - killing them and himself. So Samson committed suicide (Judges 16:30) and He is in the Hebrews hall of faith (Heb 11:32) included in the list with "Gideon, Barak, Jephthah, David, Samuel and the prophets". Any thoughts or Comments? Blessings, Pam |

Hi Shelly, Thanks for trying to answer my questions. I reposted my questions this morning and I have copied the answer I received below for you. Blessings, Pam Answer: Greetings Pam D! Here is what the Bible Knowledge Commentary says about your first question: *********************** . In Asa’s 36th year he was confronted by Baasha, king of Israel, who built a fortress at the Israel-Judah border at Ramah, about six miles north of Jerusalem. Baasha’s purpose was to prevent further movement of Israelites south to Judah. A problem surfaces here in that the dates of Baasha (909-886 b.c.; cf. 1 Kings 15:33) necessitate his death 10 years before the 36th year of Asa. This has led some scholars to conclude that the 35th year (2 Chron. 15:19) refers to the 35th year of the kingdom of Judah since its division from Israel in 931 b.c. This would be 896 b.c. But this is unlikely for the 35th year of the kingdom would hardly be called ”the 35th year of Asa’s reign.“ More likely is the suggestion that the numbers may rest on a copyist’s misreading of Hebrew figures whereby 35th (15:19) and 36th (16:1) may have been misread for 15th and 16th. This would push the date of the events of chapter 16 back to 895, within Baasha’s reign. *********************** Concerning your second question, I would say that 'throughout' does not mean every single day! :-) Asa and Baasha were at war periodically throughout their reigns, but not constantly. I hope these help! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Dear Tim, You won't believe this! I have the Bible Knowledge Commentary and I looked in it first, but I must have just looked up the 1Kings passage and not the 2Chronicles passages. Duh! And I think you are probably right about Baasha and Asa at war periodically throughout their reigns, but not constantly. Thanks for your help once again! Blessings, Pam |

Question: Question 1: 1Kings 15:9-10 says that Asa reigned as King of Judah for 41 years. 1Kings 15:33 says Baasha became king of Israel in the 3rd year of Asa’s reign of Judah and Baasha reigned 24 years. This would mean Isreal's King Baasha only reigned until Judah's King Asa’s TWENTY SEVENTH year of reign. How can 2Chronicles 16:1 say that in the THIRTY SIXTH year of Asa’s reign Baasha the King of Israel came up against Judah? Question 2: How come 2Chronicles 14:1,6-7 says there was peace for 10 years at the beginning of King Asa’s reign and then after he defeated the Eithiopians (2Chron 14:9-15) there was peace again for 20 years, but 1Kings 15:15,32 both say that there was war between Asa king of Judah and Baasha king of Israel all their days? Thanks for any help anyone can give me regarding these questions. Blessings, Pam |

39 | Was Simeon part of N. kingdom? | Josh 19:9 | Pam D | 103097 | ||
Dear Makarios, Thank you for your response - it led me to the answer! I went to Joshua 19:1-9 (as you noted in your post) and I read the passage and then I read the note my Bible had on it. The Bible note said, "Simeon was given land in the southern section of Judah's territory in fullfillment of Jacobs prophecy (Gen 49:5). Simeon eventually migrated North when its territory was incorporated into Judah's (see note 1Kings 11:13)." 1Kings 11:13 note said, "Simeon, the tribe South of Judah, had apparently migrated north and was counted with the 10 northern tribes (cf 2Chron 15:9). 2Chronicles 15:9 says that when Asa, Rehoboam's grandson, was king of the Southern Kingdom, large numbers from the tribe of Simeon came over to the Southern kingdom FROM ISRAEL when they saw that the Lord his God was with him. This further supports the idea that the tribe of Simeon had migrated north to be part of the Northern Kingdom of Isreal. So the answer is that the tribe of Simeon migrated north to be part of the 10 tribes of the Northern Kingdom of Isreal at the time of Rehoboam and Jeroboam! By the way, I just looked at your personal profile. Thanks for the great list of web sites to check out for the future! Blessings, Pam |

40 | Was Simeon part of N. kingdom? | Not Specified | Pam D | 103049 | ||
Was Simeon part of the northern kingdom? The bible says, at the time of Rehoboam and Jeroboam, Israel was split into the Northern Kingdom of Israel consisting of 10 of the tribes of Israel (1Kings 11:35) and the Southern kingdom which included Judah and Benjamin (1Kings 12:23) According to Map 4 in my Life Application Bible (it shows the land that God had given to each tribe), Simeon is located in the middle of Judah. Did the tribe of Simeon continue to live in the middle of Judah, but were loyal to Jeroboam and the northern kingdom? Thanks for any help you can give me. Blessings, Pam |
