AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Peter 3:1 In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands [subordinate, not as inferior, but out of respect for the responsibilities entrusted to husbands and their accountability to God, and so partnering with them] so that even if some do not obey the word [of God], they may be won over [to Christ] without discussion by the godly lives of their wives, [Eph 5:22] |

Bible Note: joyduncan How about a seminary professor? The line is drawn and it is very clear, but people don't want to see it. 2 Tim. 3:16-17 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 complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. Notice it doesn't say oh by the way God threw some rules in that only pertained to the church in Corth or only to the first century church. It says "all" scripture has a purpose today, yesterday and tomorrow. I gave this example to Tim Moran. 1 Cor. 9:9 For it is written in the law of Moses, "You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain…" Boy we sure don't dismiss that scripture as only pertaining to the culture 2000 years ago, even though we don't have oxen nor do we use them to grind our grain. How come? Because this one effects man and pastors in particular. Boy we homed right in on the real meaning here. When I hear a speaker dismiss a precept of scripture as only pertaining to a particular time or place and (this is very important to the discussion) where context clearly does not support that conclusion I usually stop listening and find some other way to edify myself. Usually they are men that have done little study of the issue and have heard what they consider a plausible remedy for the puzzle and they are merely parroting that explanation. Inductive Bible study stresses context context and context. Plus we have to read the Bible as not as if we are trying to find out what we can get away with but as information for our own best interests. EdB |
