Hi Liz :wave:, EXCELLENT questions Liz! You have given me some additional things to think about. You know it's quite amazing how deep and how much there is to think about in these few verses alone. A lifetime is not enough to think about all the verses in the New Testament alone - never...

Hi Ariel, Welcome to the discussion (correct me if I am wrong but I don't think you have posted on the thread before). Could be Ariel. Could be. I say could be only because I am not personally aware of any reliable and authoritative historical sources that say that temple prostitution was...

Hi there Liz (I'll skip the Crazy part if n' you don't mind ^_^) I have not taken the time to write my paper yet Liz but, God willing, will do so shortly. I am still learning about the various views of the passages regarding head coverings and thinking through how to Scripturally refute those...

Sigh...when have you ever given me Scripturally sound reasons based on the text as written why head coverings was a cultural issue? Truth is you have not. We did discuss the issue of women being silent in church and what that meant in another thread if that is what you are referring to Flo...

Hi dcyates :wave: May I suggest that rather than all those who are serious about relationship to God having to go to seminary to learn about things that are needful to know, that what the Church needs is men and women who will preach discipleship as Jesus preached it? And just as importantly...

I am aware that you think what Paul wrote was culturally applicable to just Corinth Flo but what I want to know is how you arrive at that conclusion based on what is written in the text. In order to better evaluate your argument I need to know where you see that in the text. In other...

Hi ya all, I have not had much time to post much these last couple of days...other than little snippets into various threads in between what else I was doing but I spent some time tonight writing out my take on the hair = the head covering idea. And here it is for your viewing pleasure :)...

Incidentally ya all...I would be careful going to the link in ChristGirl95's post. Especially if you are running Windows. Under Linux which I run on, it tries to activate a program to process the link. Since it's Linux such an attempt fails but under Windows...who knows what it might do...

You know I just wish that I could sit and listen to someone, somewhere who could share (not teach) with me about how God is real to them every day. How they see Him provide for them. Take care of them in tough circumstances. How he comforts their hearts. Reproves them when necessary. How He...

I am curious...why do some not go and others do? I mean if seminary is not necessary for some why does it seem necessary for others (given that the most of these others go to seminary)? Carlos

If I may, I would like to jump in here and share an observation I have from reading most of the posts on this thread. It seems that some of the posters equate being taught with going to seminary. There is no doubt that we must all be taught through various means the Lord might use in our...

Sorry I didn't respond to your post Tam but there didn't seem to be much that I could add to what you said. The verse you quoted does imply that each child has an angel assigned to them or something to that effect and that said angels are in the Presence of God (kinda comforting :)). But...

Hi judahsgem :wave: By no means is this discussion over judahsgem if you or others want to continue discussing this issue. I said what I said mainly to thank everyone and to leave the door open to further discussion if anyone wanted seeing as I had not heard from anyone in a couple of days...

Must admit A.believer that your statements above are one of the best explanations of a cultural interpretation that I have ever read! I don't agree with a cultural interpretation as you don't seem to either but you certainly know how to explain such a position in as favorable a light as...

Hi zeke! Welcome to the discussion. Incidentally I think it is safe to say that most of us are discussing this issue to understand what Paul meant to say to those in Corinth with the exception of one or two who might from time to time pipe in with ridicule, sarcasm, or otherwise. I...

Thanks so much for your continuing input judahsgem. I just happen to still be up (it's close to 2:00 AM - boy am I going to pay for this tomorrow :)) and noticed your further posts. It seems that generally speaking there are three areas of disagreement regarding what Paul meant to say to...

Hi A.believer, Just wanted you to know that I will be thinking about what you said and will get back to you shortly (in a few days at most). I just don't have any time to think about, much less respond to your further comments just now (it's 12:30 AM and I got's to get to bed - big day...

In the interests of not allowing myself to get slandered by Floatingaxe without having the truth be known, let me make clear to anyone reading this thread that I have absolutely no intention to seek out those that agree with me. Rather I relish disagreement from those that have valid Scriptural...

I would like to jump in here and add a tid bit from my end if I could....no objections?....anyone?....ok then here is my tid bit contribution to this discussion (I have not read the entire thread by the way). ^_^ Last year I had occasion to go to Chile, which is the place of my birth. I had...

Sorry about my going off topic Flo. Thanks for pointing that out. The thread had pretty much become a conversation between me and A.believer so I took some liberty in the discussion. My apologies. Carlos
