Actually dad's assumption is almost identical to physicist Dr Humphreys who addressed the distant starlight problem for creationists. Of course it is a theory, but still fascinating: Russell Humphreys - Wikipedia

I agree. Really the main issue with TV is sinful content, just because some content on TV doesn't have a Christian badge slapped onto it doesn't mean it's sinful to watch. You can still find quite a lot of content that is not a sinful TV show. (Plus the bible always states that we should fill...

What are you implying here??

@Jason0047 I mean legalism in the meaning that rules are followed for the sake of the rules themselves, instead of what they should be, which is, to help and assist us in always being and doing Godly good things. And I'm not saying we are the love the things in the world, all things that the...

Careful is all I will say. I've heard the TV argument many times from Christians and it's usually extremely legalistic. TV in and of itself is not wrong at all. If you say we have to throw TV out altogether, that means you have to throw out entertaining books, plays, types of people you might...

I see a big red flag, HUGE red flag, if your parents are actually going to "lock you up" in any sort of way. That is seriously wrong. You are an adult, and shouldn't be under the influence of your family like that, it is pure bondage. And unbiblical. Please talk to your pastor about this. Your...

Ok I'll temporarily jump back in to answer this: BE INCREDIBLY CAREFUL SIR. God will NEVER EVER contradict His word. If He says in 1st Timothy 2:12 what women should do. He won't contradict that. Of course there are exceptions, like if men are not doing their job, just like a few times in...

Wow, I'm so glad Christ's will was for you you came back!! Just like the prodigal son. I view this question like this, not debating and forcing ourselves to merely believe our faith without exploring it is pragmatism. If anything not exploring the faith can lead people away from Christ too. If...

I will now be departing from this thread... But in all love and peace and happiness in Christ Jesus, I pray everybody will be able to come to a final truthful conclusion to this topic! :)

There is an issue with women preaching as in being pastors or elders because of 1st Timothy 2. Paul plainly makes it known that women are not to teach in this area specifically at the very least. If y'all say it is because of the culture at the time, then tell me, which words from the greek...

So then how do you explain the likes of Titus 2? If it is true that Christ 1st coming gets rid of the consequence of Eve's sin, then Titus 2 is in error.

Exactly, this is the exact point of marriage. When you have a Godly man who leads but also serves and sacrifices just as much as he leads, it is an absolutely beautiful thing, and you truly see God's design and how absolutely amazing it is.

I think women theologians are ok in most areas, due to Acts where Pricilla was teaching Apollos about Christianity. But it is clear in 1st Timothy 2 that women are not to be Pastors. That is plainly clear.

I guess this is where we disagree. Because God clearly made man the leader in the household, but this doesn't automatically mean the woman is any less valuable. She is equal to the man, but this doesn't mean she needs to be just as great of a leader as the man is. Because she wasn't designed for...

Well, if he teaches it but he & we can't act on it. Then what's the point in teaching it? When you say: "Because those teachings if taken literally would contradict many teachings/examples in other parts of scriptures. Read 1 Corinthians 9:19-23." Give me an example of a scripture verse that...

So then, let me see if I'm understanding you correctly. If Paul practiced sexual immortality and murder to save sexual immortals and murders for the sake of the gospel it is ok?? As an example of course. I see no indication that Paul is speaking of the culture at the time. Please elaborate...

Yes that is also true. I didn't mean that women can ONLY help men. The bible also clearly states that the husband is to serve his wife too. Just like how Christ served the Church and sacrificed Himself for us. I don't mean help in a slave type of way. But her primary purpose is to help and...

Well, I think we are misunderstanding the word "submission" and we don't know exactly what it would be like without "punishment". Because, God clearly says that he created woman from man and that woman is designed to be a help mate to the man. This is clear design, and I do not think this would...

Yes, but please give us more detail and context. I'll be honest, I'm a bit confused in a couple of your posts as to where your coming from. :) (Doesn't happen in all your posts, but a few I get confused on. I hope you understand.)

Yeah I feel the same MyChainsAreGone. I always get super cautious when I'm dealing with texts that can be interpreted based on culture preferences. I'm not saying it is wrong, I believe there are indeed texts that are based solely on culture. But in this day and age, you see people taking...
