23 | Women Preachers? Yes or No? | Bible general Archive 2 | journey_me | 93524 | ||
The other day a lady wrote a question regarding the role of women in church. On tv the news compared the election of an openly-gay bishop to a similar scandal involving the appointment of the first female bishop. I was wondering why would a woamn bishop bring about a threat of separation between the episcopalan and anglican church. Then I cam accross 1 Cor 14:34-35 [34]Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law [35] And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. Saith what law? Is this strictly for those who are under the law? Are women under Grace permitted to speak in church? Can somone explain this to me? Are women allowed to be leaders in church or not? The scriptures clearly say no. Why are women required to be silent and seek knowledge from their husbands? I am not trying to be sexist, I am trying to understand how we can justify having women preachers, bishops, and etc if it is against the scriptures. |

I tried looking this subject up, but the server is either too slow or not working properly. The topic I need information on is Halloween. What is Halloween? Should Christians actively participate in Halloween? Are there biblical references on the topic of Halloween? Is Halloween santanic or evil? |

26 | What is a bastard? | Bible general Archive 2 | journey_me | 141798 | ||
What is the boiblical definition of the following: bastard? forbidden marriage? illegitemate child? I often here people make reference to kids born out of wedlock as bastards. Where in the bible does it address children born or created out of wedlock? Other than Deu 23:2 |

27 | Are our values cultural or biblical? | Bible general Archive 2 | journey_me | 141838 | ||
If people look for evil they can find evil. Why are there people attacking Harry Potter and reading evil into its words? Isn't the fantastical and fiction simply that? I know I am sparking a debate, but I need intellectual and biblical analysis of reading fiction that contains elements of idolatry, witchcraft, murder, theft, and any other sin. Why is it okay for us to teach children to believe in Santa Claus? Or better yet why do we consider Hansel and Gretel, Snow White, Cinderella, and The Wizard of Oz, acceptable for Christian children? Are values based on what is culturally acceptable.? | ||||||
28 | if i get a christain tattoo is it sin? | OT general | journey_me | 92858 | ||
The way in which it is stated, is that you should not get any tattoos, period. Markings for the dead refer to carvings, piercings, and mutilation to honor ancestors or passed love ones. Tattoos were looked upon as a pagan rituals and therefore would not be used to honor God. One thing you may want to note is that this passage however was taken out of the old testament before Christ. Many of the works stated in Leviticus 19 was before Grace. For example, not being able to shave your sideburns or beard. Clearly we do not practice that law today. Try looking for other passages regarding this topic in the New Testament, that would be your best guide. |

31 | Premarital Sex: Social Ethics or Sin? | Gen 2:23 | journey_me | 146643 | ||
I have always been told that premarital sex is a sin. I have also been taught that fornication is a sin as well. I know the bible speaks of sexual imorality and list the various ones, but I never got a sense that they were talking about premarital sex, it seems to me that they were talking about lasciviousness, or multiple sex partners. I know Paul calls for us to abstain from sex and if we choose to engage in sex, that we should marry, but where does it say that premarital sex is wrong (Corinthians 7)? I also know that the bible speaks highly of virginity, is the opposite of virginity whoredom? Is there not an in between. Is sex before marriage something that derived from social ethics, or am I just not looking in the right place for my answer. | ||||||
32 | Law v Faith. Are Jews Condemened? | Leviticus | journey_me | 146670 | ||
BradK help me to create a question. What covenant did God have with Abraham and was that covenant fulfilled through Jesus? Does that mean that those Jews who died before Christ will not be resurrected, or will not enter the kingdom of heaven? Or are those Jews saved because of God's Covenant? Does that mean that those Jews who still practice the law after Christ is condemned? | ||||||
33 | Homosexual are picked on in the church? | Lev 20:13 | journey_me | 177305 | ||
I was researching homosexuality on this website, and everyone seems to point to 1 Cor 6:9, as proof that homosexuality is wrong. The problem that I have is that this verse names every sin, and every human being falls under one of those categories, so why do people ignore the rest of the verse, and pick on homosexuals. Every human being is either an idolater, adulterer, covetous, swindler, immoral, or a fornicator in some way are another. Why are all these people allowed to be Christians, but homosexuals are not. Every human being is a sinner and being a homosexual is no different from being a fornicator, God said sexual immorality is wrong. Why are ministers allowed to hold positions in the church when they are not married, we know they having sex. Why are pregnant women who are not married allowed right and benefits when we know they are fornicators. Can someone please show me or advised me, where the bible singles out homosexuality as the only damning sin. For the record I am not gay, I'm married with 2 children, but I was reading some of the comments and I was outraged. My brother-in-law is gay and his brother won't talk to him because the bible says it's wrong, however he is not married and lost his virginity at 14. |

34 | Homosexual are picked on in the church? | Lev 20:13 | journey_me | 177341 | ||
No, that's not what I'm missing. I feel that's what everyone else is missing. Are you saying that change is instant once you've been saved. That the next day you will not sin or have the same thoughts you had before. What I am saying is that It's a spiritual change, but it takes a lot more for the flesh to catch up. You have to ask God to work on you and help you every step of the way. We don't know a person's heart, only God does, and that is why we should not pass judgment. I believe if someone is truly saved that they will come through the inflictions, but I think God has a timeline for each person, yet we often want to rush or tell people where they should be without knowing or understanding what they came through. |

I now take back thew words of kindness that I gave you. Obviously you have not read my words or the other post, and no I do not have to get out of the forum because I do not agree with you. Your opinion does not represent eveyone's opinion on this site and you shouldn't assume so. I have not attacked you personally, until now, but you are out of line. When discussing matters of Christianity, it would be nice if people used a Christian spirit to engage. Others have agreed or disagreed with me, and have not resulted to the name calling or insults that you have hurled. Certainly where is the biblical reference to those insults. I don't take people's opinion of the word at face value. If I can't challenge you and you can't provide me with biblical answers, then maybe you shouldn't respond. How do you grow in the word, when you can't challenge and learn. I'm not arguing for the homosexuals. Your question is illogical and extreme. Answer the question yourself, Is a person who says there saved on Sunday, robs and/or kills on Monday, is he or she going to hell on Tuesday? Tell me what would God do, you seem to have his authority. If you wanted biblical proof, just ask. 1 Cor 4: 1-5 So then, men ought to regard us as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the secret things of God. 2Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful. 3I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself. 4My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me. 5Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God. And like I said in a previous post, I am through with this topic, but I am sure you haven't read that post. Thanks to all those who did help and who did challenge me. I agree with Mark and Brad K, and I was hard on them but they were hard back and helped me to see. Hank, your actions were uncalled for, and I am sad that I thanked you earlier. Never did I argue for homosexuals, my question was why homosexuality and not everything else. Yes, homosexuality is wrong, but Christians need to rise up and take a stand on all sexual immorality, including prostitution and fornication. My questions was never is homosexual wrong. If you are trying to convince me that we become perfect when we are saved, then you are barking up the wrong tree. If you are trying to tell me that Christianity is not an on going process then you are barking up the wrong tree. If you are trying to tell me that God does not judge each of our hearts, then you are barking up the wrong tree. And if you are trying to tell me we are all on the same timeline of where we need to be then... For those who do not understand the response, this is what Hank wrote: Note: journey_me: Where in Scripture does it say that God has "a time line for each person?" I surely do not see any scriptural support for your soteriological/sanctification argument that seems to be saying that the born-again believer needs time for the flesh to "catch up." ...... How then should we think about a situation involving a robber who said he was saved on Sunday and held up a bank on Monday? Is anything wrong with this picture? Did the robber simply need more time for his flesh to catch up with the regeneration of his spirit? Is this what Scripture teaches? If you choose to reply to this post, please back up your opinions with Scripture. Otherwise, we may as well rename this web site to "Non-Biblical Opinion Forum." ..... One final question. Why, in view of how forcefully Scripture condemns homosexuality, are you arguing from the other side of the fence? If you are trying to convince the rest of us that there is any such reality as an unpenitent PRACTICING homosexual Christian, you're barking up the wrong tree and may as well change the subject or move on. We on Study Bible Forum do not dispense solace to anyone who champions opinions that are not firmly grounded in God's word. --Hank Sorry, for the rant, but I think Hank's post proves my point. How can we expect people who are seeking the truth to come to us, when we react with such judgment. |

I feel the same. How dare you? I certainly respect those that respect me. I didn't chatise you for asking tough questions. I chatise you for your sarcasm and name calling. As you can see it doesn't feel good. If you would have checked the other post, you would have realized that I understood your point, and that I gave you praises. You didn't understand my post and you attacked. You keep making assumptions, which proves to me you are not reading my post. I am not a man, I am happily married mother of one and one on the way. The forum is not resolute, some people actually understood where I was coming from. Sorry if the God's authority comment offended you, but your age does not entitle you to presume so much. | ||||||

38 | Homosexual are picked on in the church? | Lev 20:13 | journey_me | 177384 | ||
Thanks, but my question isn't is homosexuality a sin. I know this. This question has received the most response of all the questions I've seen asked in a long time. Why are a lot Christianity so passionate about their stance on homosexuality, but not on sexual immorality as a whole. I would say they we know more fornicators, adulters, and people who practice perverse sexual acts, than we know actual homosexuals. I just wish we wouldn't single out homosexuality so much, but address sexual immorality as a whole. | ||||||

Thanks Tim, I was asking about the repenting aspect of it. I do belive that it's a key part of being saved and being a Christian. Thanks for pointing that out and explaining it to me. Secondly the statement was broad regarding ministers, but not regarding sex outside of marriage. It does come from some personal experience as noted in my original comment. |
