A glaringly false statement such as this demands to be answered.

Jesus says that all the law and the prophets hang on two commandments. 1. Love God 2. Love Your Neighbor He then defines "Your Neighbor" through the Parable of the Good Samaritan. That means our neighbor is anybody - even those our cultural group despises, not just those like us.

I stand behind the Word of God, and not clever reinterpretations that fit my feminist ideology. That's why I just posted Scripture that answers your question. It would be mightily hard for a woman to be a leader of a church when she is not allowed to speak within it. How exactly does that...

This is silly and childish. Enough with your games. bye.

You might not like it, but you are being contrary to what is Written. "8 I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling; 9 likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with...

The point of hyperbole is to make a point. In this case, sin is extremely serious and needs to be treated as such. Do you seriously think people of average reading comprehension can't understand what Jesus was saying? I'm done here. You are being absurd -- either for the sake of...

I have been reading Philosophical Foundations for a Christian Worldview by Moreland and Lane. In one of the chapters, William Lane Craig argues that Newton's absolute time and space is still metaphysically necessary. Now, we can only measure things relatively, but that does not mean that there...

Your interpretation conflicts with other passages from Paul that clearly state that the husband is to be in authority over his wife, and that women are not to be preachers in leadership over a church. How do you resolve this conflict given your interpretation? Was Paul simply wrong?

Sure, Paul is writing to other men and instructing them to submit to one another. But then he directly addresses the relation of husband and wife. I suspect your cultural upbringing is blinding you to the plain truth of these passages. It is very clear. If I was a modern woman impacted by...

They have suppressed the truth, just as Romans 1:18-32 describes. Sincerity has nothing to do with it. Sincerity is not the benchmark of proper moral behavior or truth. The Bible is. I have no doubt that depraved minds are sincere in their depravity, and even have an inability to see or...

Paul says it in 1 Corinthians 5. If someone unrepentantly identifies themselves with a sin and refuses to repent of it, then they should be expelled from the Church. Again, Paul said it in the Scriptures, which I consider the inspired word of God. You and others might not feel the same way...

Don't blame me. Blame God. Sin is serious business. If you will not repent of your sin, you cannot remain in the Church. "43 And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than with two hands to go to hell,[a] to the unquenchable fire.[b] 45 And...

Please feel free to post anything I omitted that has bearing on this topic.

:amen::clap::amen: Even more than that, Paul excluded those in the Church who repentantly persist in their sins. We are not to judge the sinners outside the Church, but we are to judge and exclude those in the Church who unrepentantly persist in their sin. "9 I wrote to you in my letter...

This is taken out of context. Paul's point is that we are all heirs to the promise given to Abraham. "The Law and the Promise 15 To give a human example, brothers:[f] even with a man-made covenant, no one annuls it or adds to it once it has been ratified. 16 Now the promises were made to...

Do you submit to Jesus Christ? Or are you a co-equal partner with Him? "Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24Now as the church submits to...

I had written something in reply, but then it came to me that the following would be more than a sufficient reply to what is going on here: "18The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness...

I am a former member of UMC. They might not view homosexuality as a sin, but the Bible definitely includes it as a sin with whole lists of other practices that everyone agrees are sin. To deny this or dance around it is absurd to any person not already committed to denying this as sin. It is...

1. Yes 2. Grammatico-Historical exegesis -- hopefully that answered your question properly

I think this is a great example of your argument for the KJV. The following link explains how the human authors in the OT thought of, and referred to, Sheol as the abode of ALL dead -- righteous and unrighteous. The conception of Sheol/Hades is different by the time of Jesus...
