Can you find my theological orientation

[Clintpauljohnson]

? Ask some questions?

 

[Citizen of the Kingdom]

A Lutheran not of the Higher Critisism?

 

[Clintpauljohnson]

Is that what I am ? how does one find this? Except through questioning? Is this something that should remain private?

 

[Clintpauljohnson]

Let's say that I believe women can teach but that they should know not to preach certain things regarding their superiority and realize the man is ultimately the head.

Is that pushing me to one side of the theological spectrum?

How can any superiority be claimed anywhere by any of God's creatures? They can only compliment each other. Looking into a mirror and being met with a silent reflection doesn't look very near to glory. But thanks for asking.

Just curious because my friend is a men's right s over women's type of person and I want to know if I should debate him. I am a believer in Joyce Meyer but need to tell him that she should be respected.

You would have to change his belief pattern and that's a bit of an investment. Consider the cost if your willing to keep silent about it. You may have to watch Joyce behind closed doors. Good luck ...

Yes he suffer from her ptsd in other ways and doesn't realize that she has the key if he were to believe and take it while setting his biases aside.

? Ask some questions?

The place to start is the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Where do you stand on the authority of Scripture, it's histories and doctrines? Later you will start to ask yourself about the authority of Christian institutions like Rome, do you think they have the authority to forgive sinners and sanctify believers.

I believe Hugh Hefner may have been forgiven if he repented. I believe only God can judge him.

Joyce teaches that Jesus went to hell and was tortured by demons for 3 days that is not to be respected but called what it is blasphemy.

Preterist or Futurist?

Cessationist or Continuationist?

1 Corinthians 3

3 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.

2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.

3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?

4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?

5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?

6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.

10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.

11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;

13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your's;

22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your's;

23 And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.

A good perspective; it's really good to get back to Scripture, and not necessarily revolve around labels.
