85 | what are the letters to st paul about ? | Phil 2:22 | John Ryals | 228113 | ||
Hello Sadie Louise, My name is John Ryals, and it is a pleasure to be a part of this Bible Study Forum. I enjoy asking questions and giving answers about the 'Holy Bible. Before answering any questions, I always try to research the question, and pray before answering. My point is, I would like to give an answer to your question, but I'm not sure if I understand your question. Are you asking about letters written 'to' Paul, or are you asking about the letters,(epistles)which are written by the Apostle Paul which are accepted into the Holy Bible? |

86 | Women pastors... | 1 Timothy | John Ryals | 228122 | ||
Good Morning, I may have some scriptures and some historical comments and views that may increase our visions in this thread. First, I believe Paul was setting some guidelines for the Church of Ephesus through Timothy. These letters were to Timothy, because he had been placed into an elderly position with this Church. If I may, I would like to expound on the verses 2:9-15, which the great Apostle Paul wrote, constituted by our Lord Jesus Christ about 'Women's Guidelines' within the Church. I believe I am correct in saying that verse 11 says, "Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection." As I look at the condition of the Church today, I ask myself, "Are there qualified men of God who can take the position of Teacher?" Of course there are, but I believe, if there were not any, then I would appreciate a woman standing up and leading the Gospel, so lost souls may come to understand what sin is about, bringing about Holy Spirit conviction, which would cause lost souls to want to repent and turn from wicked ways. After all, Is this not what preaching the Gospel is About? Leading others to the Cross? I know verse 12 states, "But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence." I have to believe when Paul was writing this letter to Timothy, he was adressing this issue because there were some discrepencies going on in the Church at Ephesus. Again, let me say that verse 12 does deal with a woman's mannerism in the Church, but this is a letter to Timothy about the Church at Ephesus. Again, if a male teacher is more qualified, he should take the lead: otherwise the woman can do so. Her 'silence,' regarding teachings; unless there is no qualified man, which is the case at times, and this is out of the guidlines the Holy Spirit has set. It's time for men of God to stand up and be teachers of the Gospel and quit being cowards! In the Book of Joel, Chapter 2, verse 28; "And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions." The spirit shall be poured out upon some of each sex. Not your sons only, but your daughters, shall prophesy; we read of four sisters in one family that were prophetesses, Acts 21:9. Not the parents only, but the children, shall be filled with the Spirit, which intimates the continuance of this gift for some ages successively in the church. In the 2nd Chapter of Acts, on 'The Day of Penecost' and when it was fully come, Peter spoke of this prophesy by the Prophet Joel, [Acts 2:16-17.] Our God is soveriegn! He can do anything he must do in order to fulfill His prophecies, and to accomplish what He started. We must think, If he can make a Donkey speak, could he not make a woman a preacher or a teacher or a Pastor? May God Bless You, John Ryals |

87 | Women pastors... | 1 Timothy | John Ryals | 228126 | ||
"LYDIA,THE FIRST EUROPEON CONVERT' "And a certain woman name Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us : whose hearts the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul." [Acts 16:14] God has made great use of women, and greatly honored them in the kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Holy women ministered to our Lord when he was upon the earth, and since that time much sacred work has been done by their patient hands. Man and woman fell together; together they must rise. After the resurrection, it was a woman who was first commissioned to carry the glad tidings of the risen Christ; and in Europe, where woman was in future days to be set free from many of the trammels of the East, it seems fitting that a woman should be the first believer. Not only, however, was Lydia a sort of first-fruit for Europe, but probably also became a witness in her own city of Thyatira, in Asia. We do not know how the gospel was introduced into that city; but we are informed of the existence of a church there by the message of the ascended Christ, through his servant John, to "the angel of the church in Thyatira." Very likely Lydia became the herald of the gospel in her native place. Let the women who know the truth proclaim it; for why should their influence be lost? "The Lord giveth the word; the women that publish the tidigs are a great host." Women can be as powerful for the evil as for good: we see it in this very church of Thyatira, where the woman Jezebel, who called herself a prophetess, sought to seduce many from the truth. Seeing, then, that the devil employs women in his service, let those women whom God has called by his grace be doubly earnest in seeking to prevent or undo the mischief that others are working. If not called to public service, all have the home-sphere wherein they can shed forth the aroma of a godly life and testimony. May God Bless You, John Ryals |

88 | women preachers | 1 Tim 2:12 | John Ryals | 228034 | ||
It is true that 1st Timothy 2:12 states, "But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence." In verse 11 of the same book and chapter, "Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection," it's meaning is made clear in I Cor. 14:34-35; and Eph. 5:22-25. If I'm understanding correctly, my reference scripture in 1st Corinthians is where Paul is trying to set some guidelines for the Church at Corinth. In the Churches at that time, men and women did not normally sit together, but rather on opposite sides of the room; the women would call out to their husbands asking for an explanation concerning certain things, which was interrupting the Services. The reference scripture of Ephesians 5:22-25 is the Holy Spirit, through the Apostle, relating to the spiritual leadership of the family. However, the submision is to be to Christ as Lord and Master, and not to the husband. If the husband's supremacy had been in view, it would have been expressed in a different manner, so say the Greek scholars. If the wife properly submits to the Lord, she will properly submit to her husband as it regards spiritual leadership, that is if he knows the Lord. If he doesn't know the Lord, such submission cannot be tendered. To further address 1st Timothy 2:12, if a male teacher is more qualified, he should take the lead, but what if there are no male teachers? To finish my note entry, I feel we must take into consideration of a scripture that is in the Book of Joel. Joel 2:28 states, "And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions." This Promise of the Spirit is placed out of chronological order in order to ccouple it with the material blessings of, [Joel 2:21-27] and to provide for acts, Chpt 2. In fact, the phrase, "And it shall come to pass afterward, tahr I will pour out My Spiritupon all flesh," even though beginning on the Day of Penecost,still, will not be totally fulfilled until the coming Kingdom Age. "And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy," refers to the Gifts of the spirit, which accompanied the outpouring of the Holy spirit duirin the time of the Early Church, and which continues to this hour [I Cor. 12:7-11; however, and as stated, this will have a complete fulfillment in the coming Kingdom Age. As well, the outpouring of the Spirit is for all --- old and young, men and women. Even the Evangelist Philip had four daughters which Prophesied during the time of Paul, [Acts 21:8-9]; Is there not the idea that they were Evangelists exactly as their father, which strikes down the idea that women cannot preach?

92 | Is judgement on judgement day private? | Rev 20:12 | John Ryals | 227922 | ||
The entire context is Rev 20:11-15. I don't know if this answers your question but may lead you to other references that may give you insight. Also: check out 1st Cor., Chpt. 15; 1st Thess. 4:13-18; John 5:29. | ||||||
93 | Is judgement on judgement day private? | Rev 20:12 | John Ryals | 227936 | ||
Help me. I am having some difficulity understanding what (Luke 8:17) has to do with 'Judgement Privacy'? The Candle is the subject and the context is (Luke 8:16-18) Christ, using Parables, is not meant to hide Truth form sincere, inquiring hearts, but rather the very opposite; (the teaching of Christ was designed to appeal to the honest, seeking heart; He wants men to "see the light"). In verse 17, He is addressing to the mysteries of the Gospel; and that it would all be made known in the New Covenant. Verse 18 refers to not only what is heard, but how it is heard; 'To him shall be given", constitutes a 'Divine Law' that whosoever accepts Truth will be given Truth. The last statement of verse 18 could be viewed as 'light rejected is light withdrawn.' |

94 | In Rev 20:11-15, who are the "dead"? | Rev 20:12 | John Ryals | 227950 | ||
11 "And I saw a Great White Throne " (proclaims the final Judgement of the unredeemed, which will take place at theend of the Kingdom Age), "and Him Who sat on it (proclaims none other than God: however, we must understand that it is the Person of the Godhead, the Lord Jesus Christ [Mat. 25:31]; he is the saviour today; He will be the Judge tomorrow), "from Whose face the Earth and the Heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 9This means a New Heaven and Earth are in the offing.) 12 "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God"(pertains to the second Resurrection, the Resurrection of Damnation [I Cor., Chpt. 15; I Thess. 4:13-18; Jn. 5:29[);"and the Books were opened: and another Book of Life: and the daed were Judged out of those things which were written in the Books, according to their works (proclaims the manner of Judgement). 13 "And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and Nell delivered up the dead which were in them (points to the fact that every unredeemed person who has ever lived will face the Great White Throne Judgement; none will be exempted): and they were Judged every man according to their works (records the fact that this Judgement is not arbitrary, but is based on absolute Justice). 14 "And death and Hell were cast into the Lake of Fire" (combined, includes the wicked of all ages). "This is the second death" (Eternal separation from God and the Lake of Fire). 15 "And whosoever was not found written in the Book of Life" (refers to the record of all the unredeemed) was cast into the Lake of Fire." (This includes every single individual who isn't Redeemed, beginning with Adam and Eve. That is, if they didn't come back to God.) |
