In today’s society many people “settle down” in the absence of marriage.

Men may listen to or even read what she says, but it is not the same as exercising authority over them. Which I do not believe she is doing.

What makes you think they are not? THe premise that the English translation from the Greek texts found in such Bibles as the KJ or even NAS are inaccurate/bias is just that, it does not make it true.

Gd wrote: “If anything, marriage would decrease promiscuity.” Marriage for anyone is not a remedy for promiscuity. If one is promiscuous, there is another issue at work. And marriage may very well not end the practice, ie adultery.

Yes.

As I understand, the Constitution prohibits the establishment of a national religious denomination. God has always wanted for all to follow Him and not that of those with a personal agenda. If a bible is created with or for a personal agenda, it is not the Bible God would have us follow. Although, God does indeed leave us free to chose.

I may be wrong, but women such as Joyce Meyer have gained popularity based on their desire to teach other women. That is not wrong.

It is because of our insecurities and inferiority that we find the importance women have as demeaning. Should the Church be demeaned be submitting to Christ’s authority? Whether we like it or not a man has been given responsibility to love and take care of his family, which includes the Church.

It is because of our insecurities and inferiority that we find the importance women have as demeaning.
Should the Church be demeaned be submitting to Christ’s authority?
Whether we like it or not a man has been given responsibility to love and take care of his family, which includes the Church. If he is doing this a woman feels secure in her relationship and is free to her love and nurture her family and meet needs in the Church. I heard it once said that with all the taking care of others women do in the course of a week, why not allow yourselves to be taken care of and feed spiritually on the Lord’s Day. It made a lot of sense and frankly, it lifts an added burden off shoulders.
But, please do not get me wrong, women still have the opportunity to “”preach” God’s Word. It is a commandment as well as the instruction for woman to teach other woman and our children.less

Perhaps, this is good place to jump in. We, may very well, be at the beginning. Our son, has always had trouble at school with his teachers. I tried as a parent to explain how and who my son is. The teachers over the years have underestimated me and well, frankly overestimated my son. I have been critized for not allowing my son to take responsiblity for himself. ong story, short, after being pull...more

Perhaps, it has been my unwillingness to accept the possiblity, but it was the first time someone took the care to help us see that the possiblity was there.less

Women were of low stature due to men. Christianity brought to light the high importance women play in the lives of other Christians as well as, their importance to God. Timothy had received from his grandmother and mother the benefits of their faith.

Christians struggles with sin, regardless of the sin. Sometimes, sin is not recognized until the Holy Spirit convicts us of it. Many times, we struggle because we do not want to recognize a particular sin in our lives,

Yes, and the KJV which is a translation from Greek does use the word mankind. I will give you this, Paul does specifically talk about man as in gender, but does make a point to add woman are not to do the same.

That is the greek word for what we understand as pedophile. And man can refer to mankind, as well.

Educate me, then.

Yes, there are many commentary written about same sex intercourse. The words used should not be semantics. We understand that many English words lose much of the meaning when translated from other languages. It does not, though, negate what is understood in the meaning. Homosexual, same sex relation is arsenokoitai or arsenokoites, for all intent and purpose; one that lies with a man as with a wom...more

Yes, there are many commentary written about same sex intercourse. The words used should not be semantics. We understand that many English words lose much of the meaning when translated from other languages. It does not, though, negate what is understood in the meaning. Homosexual, same sex relation is arsenokoitai or arsenokoites, for all intent and purpose; one that lies with a man as with a woman. We can argue that one means orientation and one means the act, but we all understand what we are talking about, which is the act. Whether one is oriented toward same sex attractions, the issue really is the act and what God requires regarding the act.less

Let me ask this, is it found in the Bible?

It is? Who is questioning it?

gd, sound is the word attributed to God's Word. As for arsenokoitai, why do you ask?

gd, the BIble tells us that there will be false teachers and false doctrines, and we are lead astray because we chose to no longer adhere to sound doctrine.

gd, the point of becoming saved is recognizing we are sinners in need of a Savior. Because we shouldn’t be doing anything any other way but His.
