Says philosopher Peter Kreeft: Is he correct?

Jewish society would object strongly to the conduct of IAmRedeemed in this thread. The reason women are forbidden to be ministers is that they are not to exercise spiritually authority over men--something which IAmRedeemed is doing right now. Don't get me wrong, I think it's more than...

[/SIZE][/FONT] What are you talking about? Jesus was a rebel. There is righteous rebellion, you know.

[/SIZE][/FONT] The laws of Israel were both legally and spiritually valid because they were God-ordained. Not so with current societies. We are bound to follow only those laws which do not contradict Scripture. The state regulating marriage is against Scripture because this is an attempt...

By the way, I don't think it is permissible for a woman to rebuke a man the way IAmRedeemed is doing in this thread. It is against the Bible and nature.

God ordains a man and a woman husband and wife, not a minister or the state. holo is completely committed to his woman and is doing nothing wrong.

I totally agree with holo. By IAmRedeemed's bad logic, if the state starts to regulate Holy Communion, Christians are to adhere to these regulations. I say the state has no right to regulate marriage, which is a GOD ORDAINED SACRAMENT just like Holy Communion. The state does not usurp what is...

What about Jews who don't accept Christ? Do they lose their place in the Kingdom of God?

But if all sins are equally bad in God's eyes, why does He strike down people who commit certain sins while preserving those who commit others?

No, I don't think those Eucharistic miracles were Catholic conspiracies. The Catholic Church, which preaches utter honesty, cannot be the author of fraud. Historically, the Catholic Church has been on the receiving end of many major miracles. This supports its claim that it is the one true...

Here's why I accept the real presence: http://www.therealpresence.org/eucharst/mir/a3.html

As Christians, the justice we should seek is repentance. In the Bible, God only kills as a last resort, when it is clear to Him that the sinner is unrepentant and will not repent. I don't know about you guys, but when someone sins against me, I always forgive that person when I observe...

I already did. The law seems unfair to me, but who am I to argue with God? [/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT]

Nowhere in the Bible is the death penalty prescribed for rape, unless the victim is already another man's property. It is important to remember that God doesn't change. He is the same yesterday, today and forevermore. The Old Testament God and Jesus are one and the same.

I don't think so, but who am I to argue with God? God's commandment isn't something which can just be dismissed.

I'm a sincere Christian. My style is pointed, that's all. Get over it and address the question.

To give us an idea of what kind of authority God wants women to have, see the following: Deuteronomy 22:28-29 NLT If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he...

Shall we instead require the rapist pay a sum of money to the victim's father and marry the victim (Deut. 22:28-29)?

Moses was a misogynist, and Paul was a misogynist too. This is extremely clear--stop trying to deny it! Just accept that Moses, Paul, and any other man of God who is not God can be wrong. The epistles of Paul are certainly not infallible, and I see no reason (Biblical or otherwise) to take them...
