81 | Women are to be silent? | NT general | YenIsaRap | 218358 | ||
Dear AWilliamson Thank you for the reply. I agree with everything you have stated, sorry if I gave the impression women are inferior. If you have come to that conclusion by my statement "from the beginning, woman was not created equal" I posted that belief because of the scripture I cited. Gen 2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. She was created as a help meet for the man. A help meet does not have equality as far as I am concerned. This does not mean he should Lord it over her, but in this context we are talking about husband and wife, not men and women in general. Man on the other hand was created for fellowship with God, but that doesn't make him equal with God does it? Let me ask you then. Has God given authority, and responsibility in the same measure to woman as He has man? Is the woman ever a spiritual covering for the man? When is woman ever put into the position of taking responsibility for man? (brackets are mine) 1Co 11:7-10 7 For a man indeed (ought not to cover his head,) (forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God:) (but the woman is the glory of the man.) 8 (For the man is not of the woman;) (but the woman of the man.) 9 (Neither was the man created for the woman;( (but the woman for the man.) 10 For this cause ought (the woman to have power on her head) (because of the angels.) Andrew I may have misunderstood you, when you wrote. "women should have head-coverings in church gatherings" (1 Cor 11) As you can see, the scripture is not talking about literal head coverings such as Hats. If you disagree please explain the meaning of v.10 You are right about the extra-biblical additives, but it is very difficult to say anything and not use them. We are in agreement God Bless YenIsaRap |

82 | Women are to be silent? | NT general | YenIsaRap | 218356 | ||
Dear Justme As far as I can see, the scriptures that I posted were not of a cultural nature. Women were not allowed to minister in the Temple, why? God set up the pattern for His service, not the culture. He could have included women at that time if He wanted it to be that way. After all it was in His service, and it still is today. When scripture says that a woman shall not to usurp authority over the man, I take it to mean a Woman was never given Authority the way Man was. As far as denominations not washing feet anymore. Was that ever taught by Jesus as something that should be done? Whereas Paul spoke directly to the question of women's position in the church. Women in ministry in the 19 century, was something that did take place as you say, but we do not know the circumstances surrounding those instances. When you say "When a men does not or won't step up to the Biblical leadership of the church, then should women just say they are helpless and let the evangelism of souls to Christ go undone?" By making that statement you have taken God completely out of the equation. Souls will be won for Christ in His timing, not because woman stepped in, when a man was negligent. God will deal with the man. Joh 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. Joh 6:65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. But a woman saying if I don't do it, it will not get done, is nothing more than PRIDE. In the 21st.. century, there is a difference, when a woman goes to seminary to obtain a licence to Preach. That then becomes an issue of culturally equal rights for women. Do we, or should we let culture (society) dictate to the Church in such matters? Aren't those rights protected by the Constitution, as far as the freedom of religion? Here are some other scriptures which add to my argument, I have posted both to keep a continuity of thought. (context) 1Ti 2:11,12 11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 1Ti 2:13,14 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. 1Co 11:7-10 7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. 8 For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. 9 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. 10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels. What was the reason woman was created? Gen 2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. We can see right from the beginning, woman was not created equal. Women singing solos, or taking care of the nursery, does not usurp authority, they are beyond the context of Paul's statement. In love, respect and peace, YenIsaRap |

83 | Supportive scripture for woman preachers | NT general | YenIsaRap | 218303 | ||
Dear Messiah'schild In regard to your questions. " Supportive scripture for woman preachers, Scripture reference for women to preach." There are no scriptures in support of this phenomenon in the churches of today. But Paul had something to say about women in positions of authority that one could apply to the question of whether or not a woman should be allowed into the position of a preacher. 1Ti 2:11,12 11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. Then the question arises as to why not? 1Ti 2:13,14 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. IMHO that answers it God Bless YenIsaRap |

84 | Animals in heaven? | 2 Tim 2:15 | YenIsaRap | 218301 | ||
Dear Flinkywood Seems to me in order to be answering your own question. If you would consider some things that separate animals form humans. Do animals have souls? Can an animal attain salvation? How does an animal come to the point of eternal life? When does an animal acquire the Holy Spirit? At what point should an animal be baptized? Then the question of should only our pets be aloud? Why not Hippo's, Elephants, Dinosaurs? If you want to keep it biblical you have to admit the Dragons, Leviathans, and don't forget the Unicorns! In using the book of Revelation as a source for admittance of animals consider the fact that the Revelation is written in the form of Allegory, Symbolism, Metaphor. So a horse is not a horse of course of course. As Doc said about the problem of cleaning up after the horses we would also see signs that read "Cloud your Dog" In closing let me just say that we will be very busy when we go to Heaven. In the words of the old spiritual. When we've been there 10,000 yrs. Bright shining as the sun (SON) We've no less days To sing Gods' Praise Than when we first begun!!! I think our focus will be on more important matters rather than did "Ole Spot" make it. Sorry but there isn't any scriptural evidence no matter how we want it to be for animals to be in heaven. God Bless YenIsaRap |

87 | why kill everyone if you a God of love? | Bible general Archive 4 | YenIsaRap | 218172 | ||
Dear newyorker626 This is the short answer to your question. I thought you might like to hear from Gods' own mouth why He said these things to them. Once there you can read the whole story. 1 And God spake all these words, saying, 2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. Deu 7:1 When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou; 2 And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them: 3 Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son. 4 For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly. 5 But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire. 6 For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth. 7 The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people: 8 But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. 9 Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations; 10 And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face. 11 Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them. 12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers: 13 And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee. 14 Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle. 15 And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee. 16 And thou shalt consume all the people which the LORD thy God shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that will be a snare unto thee.

88 | Why did Paul do it? For conscience sake? | Acts 21:23 | YenIsaRap | 218122 | ||
Dear Asure I am sorry this is a few days form your original post to Doc. But I wanted to ask you a question if I may. In your post to Doc you related a conversation you had. "It brought to mind a little chat with a brother at my church last Sunday while he and I were discussing the problem in practicing Matthew 5:23-24, Matthew 18:15 and Eph 4:15 at church." "He mentioned that not many eastern Christians accept the idea and practice it". "For we don't want to hurt the brother/sister or trigger his/her resentment". "However, I always wonder since the Bible has clearly provided us the principle/guidelines, we are just making the issues complicated and more problems arise if we do it our own way. The consequences could be misunderstanding, gossipping, bitterness, untrusting...:-(" My questions then would be. 1) Are there similar teachings that Eastern Christians do not accept or have difficulty putting into practice? 2) Does this reluctance come from the Buddhist teachings in your society and culture? 3) It is interesting to me to understand how different societies would accept and implement these teachings that we in the West receive as normal. Let me ask you another question I just thought of. 4) If in the West (Europe - United States) Our Civil Laws are based or have there roots in the 10 Commandments. Where did the East derive there Civil Laws from? Enough for now God Bless Yen |

Dear David Your use of Rom.12:2 is a proof text. It does not say sanctification is an ongoing process. These scriptures on the other hand say sanctification is a completed work. Acts 26:18 those who ARE SANCTIFIED by faith in me Rom.15:16 that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, BEING SANCTIFIED by the Holy Ghost. 1 Corinthians 1:2 to THOSE SANCTIFIED in Christ Jesus and called to be holy 1 Corinthians 6:11 But you WERE WASHED , you WERE SANCTIFIED Heb.2:11 For both HE THAT SANTIFIETH and they who ARE SANCTIFIED are all of one Hebrews 10:10 By this will we HAVE BEEN SANCTIFIED through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

I have been here but a short time therefore everyone may feel as though I have no voice in the matter. But I find fault with the last few posts in this thread. "Why did Paul do it? For conscience sake?" There have been comments made that have been neither edifying to, for, or about a brother nor uplifting for the forum in general. There is a proper way for this matter to have been handled. I have not said these things in defense of this brother. He was in the wrong. But rather for the possible betterment of the forum as a whole in the future. There are those that come here seeking knowledge do we want to show them petty bickering and strife? 2Ti 3:16,17 16) All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17) That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. (Scripture follows) Matt.18:15,21,22 15) Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him ALONE: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. 21) Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, HOW OFT SHALL MY BROTHER SIN AGAINST ME, and I forgive him? TILL SEVEN TIMES? 22) Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, UNTIL SEVENTY TIMES SEVEN. 1 Cor. 6:7 7) Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. WHY DO YOU RATHER NOT TAKE WRONG? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded? Matt.6:38,39 38) Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: 39) But I say unto you, THAT YOU RESIST NOT EVIL: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, TURN TO HIM THE OTHER ALSO.

Dear David In this statement of yours. "Isn't this really the process of sanctification which is a work of God?" 1) Are you saying that sanctification is an act of Gods' grace a completed work? 2) Or are you saying that we become sanctified through an ongoing process? Blessings YenIsaRap |

95 | the last Adam | 1 Cor 15:45 | YenIsaRap | 218016 | ||
Dear Brother stjohn Rom. 5:12 (NASB) Therefore, just as through (X)one man sin entered into the world, and (Y)death through sin, and (Z)so death spread to all men, because all sinned-- Rom. 5:12 (KJV) Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: According to (Rom. 5:12) Death entered the world through sin. Therefore Adam was created immortal. Nowhere in scripture are we told Adam succumbed to temptation. Eve was tempted then gave to Adam. (Gen.3:12) (K)The man said, "The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me from the tree, and I ate." Adams' sin was eating the forbidden fruit. Gen.2:16,17 16) The LORD God (Q)commanded the man, saying, "From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; 17) but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it (R)you will surely die."

96 | the last Adam | 1 Cor 15:45 | YenIsaRap | 218004 | ||
Dear Makarios 1) Your question about "WHY" would God include the Tree of Life. Let's look at creation for the answer. Didn't God create opposites in nature? Hot - Cold Night - Day Male - Female. Therefore is not the Tree of Life the opposite of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil which bears the fruit of "DEATH". On the other hand we could ask the question "WHY" would God include "EITHER" Tree in the garden? The inclusion or exclusion of the Tree of Life in the garden does not give us sufficient evidence as to the question of the immortality of Adam upon his creation by God. 2) There were two trees that were in the midst of the Garden the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil and the Tree of Life. God gave command to Adam not to eat of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil But there was not any such command in regard to the Tree of Life. We could therefor assume Adam could and did eat of the Tree of Life upon occasion. Could have been even part of his daily routine. Not that he was commanded to eat or that he needed to eat to maintain his immortality. Like I said though that is assumption but that is the only way I could answer your hypothetical question about his need for eating from the Tree of Life. 3) If man was already immortal then God including death as a consequence (Gen. 2:17) would be the most logical consequence for the disobedience. After all what would be a better punishment for an immortal but loosing that immortality. God being Sovereign already knew what Adam would do. Then on the other hand It seems illogical that the consequence of disobedience as recorded in (Gen. 2:17) would be death if Adam was not immortal. What I am saying is that if Adam was going to die anyway what consequence is there? To sum it up I think scripture gives us the answer as it should. Gen.16,17 16) And the LORD God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 17) but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die." Again what would be the point of telling Adam that he would surely die if he was going to die anyway? If Adam was created in the image and likeness of God just what does that entail? God does not have a physical appearance as we do does He? It then seems as though Adam would therefore have the attributes of God ie, He is immortal. Blessings YenIsaRap |

Dear JK123 There is a lot taking place in these verses. To keep everything in it's context v.12 starts off with a nobleman going to receive a kingdom. I take this v.12 to be JESUS v.13 this nobleman calls his servants then gives them money to do business with while he is gone. I take this v.13 to be JESUS DISCIPLES v.14 speaks of the citizens not wanting the nobleman to rule over them because they hated him. I take this v.14 to be the nation of the JEWS. Rejecting their Messiah. v.15 - v.19 the nobleman returns taking account of his servants giving them reward. I take these vs.15-19 to be JESUS and HIS DESCIPLES v.20 - v.23 is the narrative about the fearful servant I take v.24 to be possibly what we might call a (TARE) not a TRUE DESCIPLE. v.24 the culmination of his punishment telling the other servants to take his money giveing it to another. v.25 the servants declare the other already has money. In comparing other translations I found the KJV has v.25 in brackets. if you drop v.25 out then v.24 and v.26 fit together better. The narrative started in v.20 then flows into v.26 with the understanding that the nobleman is still talking to his servants. I take v.26 to be JESUS still talking to HIS DISCIPLES v.27 then we come to the citizens that didn't want him as ruler. I take v.27 to be the Jews that did not want him to be King over them. (Rejected Him as Messiah). This whole parable is a first person narrative. Jesus was talking to the Jews as well as the disciples. But the Jews didn't understand HIM. Hope it helps YenIsaRap |

Dear Harris The mouth isn't the problem. If you think about it the mouth (tongue) is just unruly it constitutes the end of the pipe ie, the spigot. The place where things emanate but not where those things originated. The (HEART) being the place where all of the poison is produced the tongue (mouth) cannot of itself produce anything it can only give voice to what the heart spews forth. These things do not originate in the mouth. The actual taming of the tongue is the cleansing of the heart. You can decide to not say certain things, but that does not change the things that the heart thinks (feels). When your heart is changed then you will not speak those things that would offend. The Holy Spirit will do the work of changing your heart. Matt.12:33_37 33) "Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for (AK)the tree is known by its fruit. 34) "(AL)You brood of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak what is good? (AM)For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart. 35) "(AN)The good man brings out of his good treasure what is good; and the evil man brings out of his evil treasure what is evil. 36) "But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in (AO)the day of judgment. 37) "For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned." Luke 6:43_45 43) "(AS)For there is no good tree which produces bad fruit, nor, on the other hand, a bad tree which produces good fruit. 44) "(AT)For each tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they pick grapes from a briar bush. 45) "(AU)The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil; (AV)for his mouth speaks from that which fills his heart. Matt.15:10,11,17-20 10) After Jesus called the crowd to Him, He said to them, "Hear and understand. 11) "(H)It is not what enters into the mouth that defiles the man, but what proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man." 17) "Do you not understand that everything that goes into the mouth passes into the stomach, and is eliminated? 18) "But (M)the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and those defile the man. 19) "(N)For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders. 20) "These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man."

Dear Humility You ask would it be lawful. Here are some verses that describe the overall attitude of the first church. Do we have the same or do we just attend church? The question then arises. Is it the responsibility of the Church ie, the place you go to worship? Or is it on the individuals of that church. Are we to judge who is worthy to receive help or set some kind of criteria to be met? As long as they are members of our church aren't they considered to be brothers? Wouldn't it unlawful to not help? 1 Jn 3:17-18 16) We know love by this, that (AP)He laid down His life for us; and (AQ)we ought to lay down our lives for the (AR)brethren. 17) But (AS)whoever has the world's goods, and sees his brother in need and (AT)closes his heart against him, (AU)how does the love of God abide in him? 18) (AV)Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and (AW)truth. Act 2:44,45 44) And all those who had believed [e]were together and (BJ)had all things in common; 45) and they (BK)began selling their property and possessions and were sharing them with all, as anyone might have need. Act 4:32-35 32) And the congregation of those who believed were of one heart and soul; and not one of them claimed that anything belonging to him was his own, but (AX)all things were common property to them. 33) And (AY)with great power the apostles were giving (AZ)testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and abundant grace was upon them all. 34) For there was not a needy person among them, for all who were owners of land or houses (BA)would sell them and bring the proceeds of the sales 35) and (BB)lay them at the apostles' feet, and they would be (BC)distributed to each as any had need.
