More Stoneking Nonsense
 

Watch in amazement as Stoneking translates 1 Cor. 11:10 on the fly at 32 minutes and 15 seconds. “The woman owes her authority through/ by/with Angels”. Again Stoneking shows that he has no idea what he is talking about.

The Greek word translated as “because of” is δία. This is a preposition and any 1st year Greek student (as early as chapter 8 in Mounce’s grammar) knows prepositions in Greek change their meaning depending on the object of the preposition. Mounce says “the preposition δία means “through” if its object is in the genitive, but “on account of” if its object is in the accusative”. In 1 Cor. 11:10, “the angels” is in the accusative. This means it’s “on account of” or “because of” the angels just like all English bibles translate it. It's not “through/by/with” the angels as Stoneking claims. Here is another example of why you can’t just pick and choose definitions out of your Strong’s concordance to support your pet theology.

Yup. Not only that the text does not say "she owes HER authority" and if it did, to angels, WOW! Imagine that! All this time they told us we own our authority (any power or authority we have) to Jesus. To him personally and what He did on the cross.

Now they come along and tell us that is untrue. Now what I want to know is, when and where does LS or any of these other guys talk about men and their authority? Oh wait! I recall them saying if a woman has uncut hair her family is covered...meaning man has no authority so he needs a woman with uncut hair or other wise he is up the creek without a paddle. Thanks for effeminizing the church LS and others

Re: More Stoneking Nonsense
 

All this bashing "magic hair doctrine" is missing the mark. Its the entire interpretation of the head covering that is wrong. Oneness Pentecostals should be done with the false doctrine thats its a sin for a woman to trim her hair.

Re: More Stoneking Nonsense
 

I'm sti;; waiting for someone to show it's a sin.

Re: More Stoneking Nonsense
 

Yet almost the whole movement is enslaved to the idea.

Re: More Stoneking Nonsense
 

Not sure you can call it "SIN" off the cuff. I can say that it is wrong and the teaching of it wrong. Having said that I don't think LS would teach anything he doesn't believe in. I don't think that he is purposely using this as a tool of control. I do think that it is potentially damaging to the Pentecostal movement.

So this is fairly common kowledge of AFF amongst basically lay people, but these head honchos are [willingly?] ignorant of it?

Re: More Stoneking Nonsense
 

By the same logic men should not shave their beards. It saddens me greatly to hear a man that is so articulate preach such blatant false doctrine. It is a message of fear, fear that you will not be protected if your wife doesn't hold to this doctrine. The fact is that this doctrine does not stand test of reality, families that hold to this doctrine have the same kind of trouble and issues that those that do not hold to it have.

Re: More Stoneking Nonsense
 

Or worse, since they have a contrived view of a God who would punish them for cutting bubble gum out of their hair.

Re: More Stoneking Nonsense
 

My wife does not cut her hair... I am fairly certain "fear" is not among the reasons.

Re: More Stoneking Nonsense
 

the ends justify the means. Same reason why some evangelists stretch the truth or exaggerate stories...or why an evangelist will pick up a tabloid story and preach it as truth

Re: More Stoneking Nonsense
 

I"ll bet she doesn't do it for the reasons that LS promotes either. Huh? I thought not. I don't have a problem with any lady not cutting her hair, for spiritual or even for ascetic reasons. That is human choice, and reasonable folks can even believe that it is biblical to not do so, however to preach it as detrimental to one's family protection is another matter altogether.

Re: More Stoneking Nonsense
 

Hoovie, none of the girls in my house cut or trim their hair either, but I am 100% against the LS hairology and the means he goes about promoting it.

(I'm sure you agree.)

Re: More Stoneking Nonsense
 

yeah... same here

Re: More Stoneking Nonsense
 

I had not seen Stoneking for many years. I heard he had a heart attack a few years ago. then I saw a YouTube video of him in a car with some young man driving. He looked old to me.
