Princewell2012: I agree with you, Some of Pauls Arguments are based on his personal beliefs. For example although I stand to be corrected I think it's a jewish tradition for women not to speak in church. It's important we ask God for knowledge while reading the bible |

xtivin: Hmm you just raised another point entirely. First of all what is the meaning of church? We must understand the meaning of church first before we be able to know weather women were, or will be allowed to peach or not. To your own understanding what do you understand as church? Mind you church is not a building, that is what would have prevented one from entering. But this church in question is a person. The choose one, the selected few, the called out one, that was endowed with the holy spirit and baptism. This group of people were called church. Can you see that? So weather a man or woman, despite your tribes, groups, language or culture. If you fall into that category you are a church and shall speak confidently with your fellow brethren. All of you are now one in Christ. And which ever be the gift the holy spirit have endowed on you should be manifested without fear. Infact every gift should be manifested in church, that is the works of the holyspirit. When brethren gathered together, each person must or should manifest his or her own area of calling. That's how it was designed to be. God bless you. |

Ask God what He want you to do, is it Missionary work, Evangelist, Pastor ETC. And He will reveal himself mightily to you. Every call has a special assignment. |

Princewell2012:Everything paul represented is purely antagonistic to Jesus. Paul and Jesus teaching are diametrically opposed |

Rjasan:Christians make this grievous mistake, they substitute Jesus for Paul. They're different. Paul is not a mouth piece of Jesus, the holy spirit is. Check my other threads before you conclude whether I follow Jesus. |

Jacksonville:God is not calling anybody, Paul is the caller calling people into ministry. Jesus isn't |

rexben: You must be a deluded fellow. Now tell me who called moses, Abraham, Jeremiah,( The prophets of the old) , the 12 apostles of Christ, Paul, Silas, Barnabas etc Perhaps it was Paul who called Moses or the 12 apostles.. This is one of the reasons why I never take counsel from people who don't know the word of God. They act on their presumption without wisdom. |

Jacksonville:33 Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country: 34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it. 35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. 36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise. 37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. 38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance. 39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him. 40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen? 41 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons. Matt 21:33-41 According to this parable, did God send another person after they killed His son, Jesus? |

rexben: You are trying to equate Jesus with the prophets or preachers of the gospel... Jesus is lord and God the son. He uses whom he wants to use. Act of the apostles 13:2 As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul(Paul) for the work where unto I have CALLED them. Now, who called Paul and Barnabas after Christ's ascension? Jesus personally called Paul , and he confirmed it through the Prophets in the Church by the holy spirit. He even confirmed Paul's call firstly, through a man with a prophetic insight called Ananias . God is still calling people till thy kingdom comes. |

Jacksonville:Don't get it twisted. God is calling people. Come unto me, all ye that labour and heavy laden. He's calling people to be his children. He's not calling anybody to any ministry. Can't you get it!! |
Re: Can I Refuse The Call Of God? by Nobody: 1:55pm On Dec 04, 2016 |
rexben: Oga... Then who are the prophets, the apostles and the evangelist? Don't be ignorant of the word of God. The way you see things or think things are not the ways God think or see things. Isaiah 55: 8-9 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. 9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. The scripture you quoted is talking about God calling us to salvation and not leadership. God can't call everybody to ministry but salvation , reconciliation and repentance. God called Jeremiah to prophetic MINISTRY . Before he formed him in his mother's womb, he knew him, sanctified him ,set him apart and ordained him a prophet to the nations. That same God called the apostles including paul and he's still calling his chosen ones to leadership/Ministry. |

wow,hows the product experience so far??heard they are good i wouldnt like to interfere tho,4 pages should v gotten you a concrete answer |
Re: Can I Refuse The Call Of God? by rexben(m): 12:03pm On Dec 11, 2016 |
Jacksonville:Paul is the person calling people into ministry while God is calling people unto salvation. What's the essence of ministering gifts when there's the Holy Spirit who can teach, direct, help, comfort, shepherd thru Jesus etc. Once again, God's not calling people to ministry |
Re: Can I Refuse The Call Of God? by rexben(m): 12:16pm On Dec 11, 2016 |
Jacksonville:God did not call Paul. If God had called him, he would have obey God, do His will, represent Him well. |
Re: Can I Refuse The Call Of God? by Nobody: 1:25pm On Dec 11, 2016 |
rexben: you're not a Christian. repent .. |
Re: Can I Refuse The Call Of God? by rexben(m): 1:31pm On Dec 11, 2016 |
Jacksonville:You're right. Repent from what? Repent from following Jesus, right? |
Re: Can I Refuse The Call Of God? by Nobody: 3:35pm On Dec 11, 2016 |
rexben: All I know is that you're not different from the Pharisees and Sadducees who condemned Christ and also doubted his unction because of his authoritative expressions in words and actions.. You're entitled to your opinion which is as a result of spiritual blindness..I will take what you with a pinch of salt. The bible says in acts 13:2 in the church of Antioch that the holy spirit has called Paul .. I believe in the scriptures breathed by God . It's either you're for the gospel/ testimony of Christ or you're against it. You have heard and read his words by his servants but did not take it with faith.. Therefore the lord will take an oath in his anger that you will not enter his rest till you repent . |

TohKunBoh:First of all, the man lied to you about some sort of call from God to be a pastor of sheep. God does not call anyone for such obvious antichrist missions. Second, Jesus Christ is not by force as He made clear that He only came for those who have need of Him. |
