Christianity EtcRe: Men of God and women in bible by Scholar8200(m): 9:02am On Sep 20, 2016
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?

johntredon:
3). Jesus considers women as dirt that defiles men (since Jesus, the GOD, is the one who supposedly inspired the New Testament as Christians claim):

Revelation 14:4 "Those are those (men) who did not defile themselves with women , for they kept themselves pure. They follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were purchased from among men and offered as first fruits to God and the Lamb.


4). Women are not only spiritually defiling to men as Jesus put it, but they're also physically defiling when they have their menses. Anything they touch becomes unclean:
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.

Fornication and debauchery thrive in the church today. some pastors even claim it is necessary to TEST before marriage. why is it not frowned upon if they are truly representing Christ? [b]hedonism is a norm and no one cares [/b]about what the Bible says about it. men come to the church to select girls for their hedonistic orgies and girls do the same. when will the church authority ever rise up and cleanse the church off this filthiness?
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.

^ look up.
Christianity EtcRe: Basic Truths About The Holy Bible by Scholar8200(m): 5:41pm On Sep 17, 2016
Lennycool:
I'll do just that
1) Murder, rape, and pillage at Jabesh-gilead(Judges 21:10-24 NLT)
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)
there it is before your eyes what God supports.
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!

should I? fake prophets, fake pastors, sex in the church, homosexuality, mundane philosophy, too much emphasis on materialism, immorality, magic and tricks etc. so which are u familiar with?
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.
Christianity EtcRe: Basic Truths About The Holy Bible by Scholar8200(m): 5:18pm On Sep 17, 2016
Lennycool:
The bible is ancient book written by ancient barbaric men, it supports slavery, rape, misogyny and genocide. In fact if every nation in the world wanted to adhere to the laws and teachings of the bible, all nations would be like Syria that is partly controlled by the Islamic state. It amazes me how sane people could seriously support the bible and its God. Read more of your own Bible to see the truth.

Today it is almost impossible to differentiate between a Christian and a believer of Shango, Oduduwa, Baal or Voodoo. Back in the days the difference was clear to me but, today I can hardly tell the difference between a Christian to a traditionalist or pagan. It doesn't even appear to have any difference anymore. Has the world started worshipping Baal and deviated from the teachings of the Christ? Things I see in Church today does not represent Christ at all.
Serious allegation! Can you mention specifics?

lol of course since they do not know the basis of service to God and ministry they feel he embraced God with all his heart and then recanted along the line when his very foundation was super faulty. Let Him come to Nigeria and see Pastors remaining faithful in the face of adversity or go to Afghanistan or any of the other Arab nations and see same. Real value comes when we detached ourselves from earthly reward and acceptance.
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!

hahahaha chai. The guys comprehension is zero
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]

sure professor

how about the below

2 Timothy 3 King James Version (KJV)
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;


you have to like the that verse saying a lot of things without saying anything

those things were already happening even before the days of Jesus Christ
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.
Christianity EtcRe: Teresa Mcbain; From 20 years as Christian Minister To Full Atheist, Her Story by Scholar8200(m): 8:41am On Sep 13, 2016
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!

Christianity EtcRe: Is The Bible The Word Of God As We Claim? by Scholar8200(m): 1:44pm On Sep 10, 2016
Weah96:
When it comes to an almighty creator being, what is the difference between a dictation and an inspiration?
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.
Christianity EtcRe: Is The Bible The Word Of God As We Claim? by Scholar8200(m): 8:34am On Sep 10, 2016
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!

Thank you bro for your wonderful post, what about Luke 12:47-48 ? the parable seem to point to two different people. those who know the will of God but did not do it and those who did not known God's will. Their punishment is different.
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
Christianity EtcRe: What Will Happen To Those Who Have No Knowledge Of The Gospel ? by Scholar8200(m): 4:32pm On Aug 27, 2016
malvisguy212:
Will all those people who have never heard of Jesus Christ be sent to hell? First we must note that the Bible says God will judge all people
righteously. It seems Their would be STRICT judgment to those who REJECT the Gospel than those who have never heard of it.

Paul tell us That those who have not heard of the gospel will be judge by the law which God had place in their heart;

Romans 2:14–16
14 For when Gentiles who do not have the
Law do INSTINCTIVELY THE THINGS OF THE LAW,
these, not having the Law, are a law to
themselves,
15 in that THEY SHOW the work of the Law
WRITTEN IN THEIR HEART, their conscience bearing
witness and their thoughts alternately accusing
or else defending them,
16 on the day when, according to my gospel,
God will judge the secrets of men through
Christ Jesus.
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:
James 3:1
Let not many of you become teachers, my
brethren, knowing that as such we shall incur a
stricter judgment.

In other words, those who know the gospel,
study it, and teach it will be under stricter
judgment, since they have the ability of guide
others, or lead them astray. In Luke 12:41-48 jesus talk about the difference in judgment between those who knows the Gospel and those who did not know;

Luke 12:47-48
"And that slave WHO KNOWS HIS MASTER'S WILL and
did not get ready or act in accord with his will,
shall receive many lashes, but the one who did
NOT KNOW IT, and committed deeds worthy of a
flogging, will receive but few. And from
everyone who has been given much shall much
be required; and to whom they entrusted much,
of him they will ask all the more.
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.

In conclusion; I know many christians believe that anyone who did not hear the gospel is condemn to hell, but scripture say otherwise. Please note, I am not trying to say all way lead to God, NO, but those who have heard the gospel and reject it are the one who will spend eternity outside of God PERFECT kingdom. The atheists are without excuse for rejecting the will of God, and those who do evil without the knowledge of the gospel are condemn already since they have violated the God given conscience.
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!

hmmmm so christians that cry and do all sort to get pregnant why hasnt he given them but when they go medical way they get pregnant
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 house

is god not in agreement with evil for this action.

Someone should kindly provide a cogent reason for this, with biblical backing.
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.
