So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself Ephesians 5:28 The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity. 1 timothy 5:2 And he shall be unto thee a restorer of thy life, and a nourisher of thine old age: for thy daughter in law, which loveth thee, which is better to thee than seven sons, hath born him. Ruth 4:15 (spoken in the OT). 10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies Proverbs 31:0 (OT) Meaning she is priceless! Does God despise women? Did chauvinistic men 'write' the Bible? 4 And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, [size=15pt]she judged Israel at that time[/size].Judges 4:4 |
johntredon:Who instituted marriage? When that passage talks about being defiled with women it is referring to fornication see the verse below: Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.Hebrews 13:4 If we are to follow your misinterpretation, why were the apostles married? Leviticus 15:19-30 "And if a woman have an issue (her period/menses), [and] her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even. And every thing that she lieth upon in her separation shall be unclean: every thing also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean. And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe [himself] in water, and be unclean until the even. And whosoever toucheth any thing that she sat upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe [himself] in water, and be unclean until the even. And if it [be] on [her] bed, or on any thing whereon she sitteth, when he toucheth it, he shall be unclean until the even. And if any man lie with her at all, and her flowers be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and all the bed whereon he lieth shall be unclean. And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days out of the time of her separation, or if it run beyond the time of her separation; all the days of the issue of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her separation: she [shall be] unclean. Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her issue shall be unto her as the bed of her separation: and whatsoever she sitteth upon shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her separation. And whosoever toucheth those things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe [himself] in water, and be unclean until the even. But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean. And on the eighth day she shall take unto her two turtles, or two young pigeons, and bring them unto the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. And the priest shall offer the one [for] a sin offering, and the other [for] a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for her before the LORD for the issue of her uncleanness."Do show where in the NT or which Church today follows this. Besides, these are the ceremonial parts. Just like the issue of a person becoming defiled by touching dead body. |
Khd95:your opinion is noted. |
Beckyblanca:Your submission is full of sweeping generalizations. You started well when you said some, but deviated later on. If you are really concerned, seek God's face for your church if these things are the norm therein. |
Lennycool:^ look up. |
Lennycool:Did you read vs 25 - In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes. Meaning they were not following God's commandment. Hence what you have there is a report of Israel's actions, not God's / anyone's commandment. rape and pillage of the Midianites(Numbers 31:7-18 NLT);Murder Rape and Pillage(Deuteronomy 20:10-14)Read vs 1-3 and understand the background. Besides, do you realise the same thing was done to Israel bu other nations when they were guilty? Female Captives(Deuteronomy 21:10-14 NAB)Yes female war captives, I dont find RAPE there. Can you show us? rape and the Spoils of War(Judges 5:30 NAB)Quote this and show us: 1. Who was speaking; and 2. Who the speaker was referring to. When you have done this, you will see your mistake including this here. Sex Slaves(Exodus 21:7-11 NLT)Did you see this: ''If she please not her master, who hath betrothed her to himself",never heard nothing of sex slavery here. In fact it shows that marriage will take place because it goes further to say: And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters. 10 If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish. God Assists Rape and Plunder(Zechariah 14:1-2 NAB)bros, what was spoken of here? when did it or will it occur? why will it happen? In fact, if you were free from hate, you would see that this shows that all battles occurred for a reason and were not one-sided. Here God is talking of a judgement coming against (not Babylon) but Jerusalem! |
Beckyblanca:There have always been wolves among the sheep. Besides, no matter how seemingly bad Jezebel makes Israel, God still has 7000 men (Ministers and saints) who have not bowed the knee to Baal! That Korah, Dathan and Abiram were the most visible and popular does not mean there were no Joshuas and Calebs around. |
Lennycool:Show a command that does the highlighted. |
Beckyblanca:Serious allegation! Can you mention specifics? |
Demmzy15:Because He is: ... King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords. Revelations 19:16 |
4everGod:God bless you. Those who have a passionate love and faith in Christ left comfortable homes to go to places of great risk to preach, some never return home, they die there and their families REMAIN there to preach! Then the op comes with this and thinks ...(only God knows). Op, let me recommend to you some men of like passions like your subject- Richard Wurmbrand, Adoniram Judson, Jim Elliott(was speared to death by the very tribe he wanted to preach to, guess what? after he was killed his wife stayed back to preach and succeeded), Peter and Betty Stam, David Livingstone, Samuel Morris, Watchman Nee etc It seems the devil hopes to leverage on the drop in reading culture to amplify the negatives and sell bronze as gold! |
4everGod:The subject's mistake can be culled from the highlighted parts in this statement: Try to imagine: You’re a Pentecostal preacher in small-town Louisiana. Your public reputation, your connection with the people you love, indeed your own sense of self-worth, not to mention your livelihood, are hugely dependent on your passionate faith in Christ. [size=18pt]You’ve struggled to make a reputation for yourself as a man of God, a conduit of the Holy Spirit,[/size] who can bring spiritual hope and healing to the people around you. You’ve struggled to balance the rigorous demands of your religious calling with the pressing practical needs of your family. [size=15pt]Going about ministry with that as your goal is a recipe for failure; indeed such one MUST experience the ministry as a misery! The anointing will NEVER aid you if that's your aim[/size] |
hopefulLandlord:Anyone that hears you speak will think Christian faith started in the 21st century. |
Zizaboni:Indeed, a food for thought and a poser for self examination plus a technical knock out for pundits and purveyors of Eternal, unconditional security! |
ColdHardTruth:Oga, this was describing the low level among some(not all) in the Church, not those outside. It's Paul's inspired explanation of Jesus prophesy that the Love of many will wax cold because iniquity shall abound. |
Routine without reality; profession of experiences sans possession; teaching ideals and sublimes which we have not pressed into ourselves etc these and many more is responsible for having these kind of fall outs. Unlike other religions, the Christian faith presents realities that are to be experienced and entered into by the proclaimers. I mean, no other religion (as far as I know) promises power for service,grace for holiness of life etc Hence people who come around us expect to see these things not just hear about them from the pulpits with a totally different reality from both pulpit and pew after the service. Jesus said to the lawyers and pharisees, Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: [size=14pt]ye entered not in yourselves[/size], and them that were entering in ye hindered.(Luke 11:52) Are we not lawyers too today? We know many things about the letters of the Word but know next to nothing about the Lord it reveals hence those who are impressed by our knowledge and draw nearer get disappointed because we cannot reveal a God we have not sought and found! May God take us back to Bethel! |

Weah96:To dictate means from intellect to intellect; Inspiration means from Spirit to spirit and the mind/intellect is likewise guided on the choice of words to express that which is expressed and/or events that should be included. Dictation is limited to words but Inspiration covers both words and actions taken. From my little experience, it comes like a light shining into your spirit and almost immediately, you are moved thereby to speak and at such time a door of utterance seems to have been opened not to pour out residual knowledge from the head but to transmit that which was shed in your heart. |
All scripture is [size=15pt]given by inspiration[/size] of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 2 Timothy 3:16 Meaning everything you find therein is given by God's inspiration (not dictation) for a purpose just as Paul's thorn (and grace of Apostleship) were both given for a purpose! |
Kingdavid579:10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up. Psalm 27:10 |
Also see Isaiah 6:8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me. If the us was referring to the angels, then it would have been, "whom shall we send" |
SirWere:sorry, I am not allowed to comment on op's topics. |
malvisguy212:You will notice that the passage speaks of both servants being under the same Lord and the passage there speaks of reward for servants and their obedience to the Lord's will. Hence we may not apply it to the Gospel and the lost |
malvisguy212:I believe Paul here was writing retrospectively note the use of the word law, not Gospel. In fact jame imply that we will be judge base on what God has reveal to us:again, this does not refer to knowing the Gospel as both categories were under the same Master. Their are two type of people here standing for judgment here, those who know God's will but reject it and those who does not know it or here about it at all.I beg to disagree here bro. God has been in the business of revealing Himself to man from the beginning and this did not stop with the OT: He revealed Himself to: Cain (just before he went ahead to kill Abel) Abimelech (to warn him that he had taken someone else's wife) Abraham(you know this one) Job (sure you know this too) Enoch, Noah(sure you know this too) The people before and after the floodetc NONE OF THE ABOVE WERE ISRAELITES. In the NT we have those like Cornelius, Ethiopian Eunuch etc 21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, ... Romans 1:21-23 Today, most unreachable places are receiving the Gospel! How? By radio broadcast etc The unrest in some stronghold nations is forcing its citizens out to where they can receive the Gospel and are receiving it. If you are right, then the disciples would not have been commanded to go into all the world! Stay blessed! |
[size=16pt]Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge Hebrews 11:4 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 1Corinth. 6:9 [/size] Final! |
youngestland: Scholar8200: |
youngestland:To man they are unwanted, but not to God Who is a Master at weaving man's mistakes into His purpose. |
youngestland:Prove this to be 100% true in all cases and never possible for those conceived within wedlock. |
youngestland:But the baby still had to pass through the womb. Besides, Moses was asked to bring water by speaking to the rock but he struck it twice and water still came. This does not infer that God supported Moses' rebellion. also why would god form a baby in a married woman that was rapped by a robber while robbing her in her houseMoses was asked to bring water by speaking to the rock but he struck it twice and water still came. This does not infer that God supported Moses' rebellion. |
SirDavico:I believe its a recognition of where they stand in the faith and not that they are proxies for the Father(as the op verses refer): 12 I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake. 13 I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father. 14 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one. 1 John 2:12-14 We have children and brothers/sons and daughters in the Lord, we also have fathers in the Lord |
