Bible Note: Dear friend inHzsvc, I laud your desire to keep men in their proper place of authority in the church. I assure you that many others share this holy desire, but their methods may be different. I still must challenge you on your claim that your method is 100 percent effective, and that all other methods are ineffective. In any case, you 'think that you know' absolutely what God speaks on this issue. You also say that anyone who does not 'know' this is corrupted by these liberal days. I am sure that Jesus Himself will have a better answer, that surprises both the conservatives and the liberals with His authority, just like when He walked this earth. Until then, I will hold that men have opinions, and they differ. As to your statement about 'older commentators,' I appreciate your desire to conserve the teachings of previous generations of saints, but the book of Joel, quoted by Peter on the day of Pentecost, prophesies that the Spirit will give new revelation as we come closer to the return of the Lord Jesus. Old is good, yes, but God still reserves the right to teach us new things and restore lost things in the Spirit. I almost forgot to answer your question. In my church, men and women and children all, quiet themselves and listen to the preaching of the word of God. With all due respect, duh! Blessings this Easter day, if it is not outlawed by the heathen origins of the name :-) In Christ Jesus, charis |
