    Scriptural Christianity

    Be in authority over a man

    What do you think this means? "But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man. She must remain quiet." 1 Timothy 2:12

    Divine authority of believers?

    Where does the teaching come from that believers have divine authority over their households (specifically relating to prayer, at least)? And what does it mean? I don't know if this is controversial or not, but it feels so to me, as I do not see the scripture to back it up. Thoughts? I am...

    where does one get their authority?

    Christian authority For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall...

    [MOVED] It's like I'm addicted to the approval of the Church?

    Hi there, The Kitchen Sink, seems like a good place to put this: I really don't think it fits anywhere, to be addressed to the Church in General, but not some or others, depending on how its interpreted. The question is simple: "Am I addicted to the approval of the Church?" I suppose if it came...

    The Holy Spirit will do three things, if He goes the extra mile for Jesus

    Hi there, So yes, John talks of the Holy Spirit doing three things: convicting of sin, righteousness and judgment. But elsewhere it says He will not talk on His Own Authority; not seeking His Own Authority means that He will be compelled to weigh the "authority" of others, in a sense weighing...

    A new mentality: embracing risk, for volatility, that can be transferred

    Hi there, So, I have engaged with Evolution long enough, now, that I see in it a way of self-confidence, that I do not want. I don't care that I might be "more adapted" or "better adapted" depending on the approach I take, but I want to become a new creature, with the hallmarks of my Creator...

    Man Vs. Christian.

    Man vs. Christian. Let’s face it; it’s all about the man. He was first to be created as an image and representative and when that didn’t follow through as required; another man was created to make all things the first did wrong; right. The man has been historically seen as the epitome of...
