Christianity Etc › Re: Yes! The Bible Supports Women Preachers. Proof From The Original Greek. by Jeromejnr(op): 3:01am On Nov 04, 2015

A single blow to this theory is verse 33

1 Corinthians 14:33 King James Version (KJV)
33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

1. Paul is giving UNIVERSAL and not a local solution or rules. Note the highlighted

2. These are HIS words and not Q&A

1 Corinthians 7:17 King James Version (KJV)
17 But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.
IN ALL CHURCHES shows that is a standard

3. There is no contradiction; teaching is not prophesying not is it praying

Go do your research well, that scripture was from the Jewish Halakah were questions were written to Rabbis and the Rabbis would respond back to them using that same Halakah.

In this case Paul was the Rabbi and a question concerning women and their positions based on the former old testament laws were was asked if it was still necessary in the modern church.

That was why he responded with "What! Was it from you that the word of God first went forth? Or has it come to you only? If anyone thinks he is a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize that the things which I write to you are the Lord's commandment.…"

Let me give you an acid test. They were Jews who knew and observed all the laws strictly. Anything that tried to come against that law was seen as heretic. That was why Jesus was constantly criticized when he brought forth laws that seemed to oppose the former and that was also why Peter faced criticism when he went to preach to the gentiles.

The Jews were already used to leaving women out of public matters so it won't have been a problem observing that in the modern church. But Paul comes along and says something different which surely gains criticism. So he ends by saying "But if anyone ignores this, they will themselves be ignored."

If he had said women shouldn't speak, that will never generate criticism because the men and women themselves had already been used to it by tradition.

So that is to show you that because there was a dispute, Paul had to have said something contrary to the norm of their beliefs. Otherwise were will the women have gotten the boldness to stand and speak in Church?

You need to understand that even after this period most Christians of that time still struggled with the old testament practices (E.g. Circumcision). But Paul constantly tried to tell them they were free from all that. If they could struggle with practicing something like circumcision, how will women of that time without commandment come out in public to teach? This practice had been since the time of Abraham.

Here I stand
At the door
Of yor heart
For you to see I understand
That your heart
Is where you live...
Will you let me decorate it
With love?
Allow me
To throw open
The windows of your heart
And let the rooms be filled
Frgrance of joy.
I promise to dust it with tenderness
And protect it
From being broken.

Irrigate the veins with all your love
Maintain it with your fidelity
Take care of it with all the tenderness
And it will be the opening
To our eternal love.

That is why you can go and check out the Hebrew word used for "knew" in that passage and see if he was just saying it to suit his opinion or not.

Christianity Etc › Re: Study This Scripture Carefully-its Deep by Jeromejnr(m): 6:49pm On Oct 22, 2015

This is an issue I have always thought about.

We know it's only God that can make people know Him. But what I think of is if there is a criteria He uses in drawing people to Him. Maybe He looks at the condition of a person's heart if that person wants to really know Him.

It reminds me of what Paul said

2 Tim 2:25 " Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth.."
