    Are some of the Pauline Epistles Gnostic forgeries?

    I do believe Paul was a genuine brother, but there are things in "his" epistles that look like they are contrary to other things in the Bible. He evidently knew that people were forging letters in his name, because he writes: "That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by...

    Looking at: "Let your women keep silence in the churches"

    Looking at: "Let your women keep silence in the churches"

    I don't believe it was something isolated to that time and culture. In 1 Corinthians 14, Paul concludes his commands for women in the church by saying: If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of...

    Looking at: "Let your women keep silence in the churches"

    If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. 1 Peter 4:11

    Looking at: "Let your women keep silence in the churches"

    "Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church." (1...

    Starting a new fellowship. Advice?

    Succinctly; No, Yes, No, No I do believe in Hell, but not as it is often preached. I don't believe in such eternal conscious torment for everyone not saved. I do believe in some kind if consciousness apart from the body, but not a time based conscious existence, but more like a dream state...

    Starting a new fellowship. Advice?

    Christ was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead. he ascended into heaven. In the Christian's freedom from sin (that is, by grace we have power over sin, so that we do not have to yield to things we know are sinful) That the Bible trumps tradition (I don't believe it is, in its...

    Starting a new fellowship. Advice?

    Yes. And we could discuss our beliefs openly without fear of persecution. Even have a debate on it. And afterwards, we would eat together and fellowship as brethren (as long as we don't fall under the category of 1 Corinthians 5:11).

    Starting a new fellowship. Advice?

    Well, both... But topical without exposition seems to be missing something, so I should hope both. I would want to let others preach too.... Haven't received all the details yet. Definitely clear topical teaching though as The Lord leads... So much grey area in mainstream Christian thought I...

    Starting a new fellowship. Advice?

    Thanks for the response. While I appreciate his straight forward declaration that he teaches Calvinism, I disagree with this doctrine and do not believe it to be biblical (1 Corinthians 8:11, etc.) Now, if he was like "I teach Calvinism but if you want to openly debate it in from of the...

    Starting a new fellowship. Advice?

    After running from it a long time, and trying to change the modern day churches I have attended, to only face rejection and exclusion, the Lord is (still) pushing me towards starting a fellowship. In Texas, there are "churches" all over. Plenty. And this isn't going to be, so help us God, like...

    Was the Pre-Nicene Church Orthodox?

    I believe it is in this respect... Baptism often meant adopting the way of life of the one we were baptized on behalf of (some John the Baptist, some Christ. Or maybe by extension, on behalf of the disciples who preached and baptized). If the dead do not rise, why take upon ourselves the way of...

    Paul vs Jesus Christ?

    Grace is God doing for us what we cannot do Grace is not God ignoring us abstaining from what we can do Grace is not God overlooking sin after he gives us the ability to overcome it Sin, under grace, results in death "For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law...

    "Christ, Who is God over all"

    No need for explanation buddy, they are called the same thing so they are all multiple persons that make up one being. Either believe it or you are a heretic. :-) 1 Chronicles 29:20 KJV [20] And David said to all the congregation, Now bless the LORD your God. And all the congregation blessed...

    "Christ, Who is God over all"

    David is also called a shepherd. Jesus is even referred to as David when he is called the shepherd: Ezekiel 34:23-24 KJV [23] And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd. [24] And I the Lord will...
