Good grief, can ya'll not read?? "These things I write to you so that you may know how to behave yourself in the hoise of God, which is the C-H-U-R-C-H....." Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh. Just ignore God-Breathed Scripture I suppose!

The point is we must understand the background of the Bible and the culture...Paul wrote letters to certain people and churches. It is just like someone in Brazil asked why does the Bible say greet one another with a holy kiss...that was the common greeting of that day...Just like the common greeting among christians of Brazil is saying The Peace of the Lord...

Our dear friend tries so hard to say women cannot preach but the writer that he claims meant that could not even be a Bible writer according to his own law...He had no wife...yet an elder must be the husband of one wife....lol....

Typical derision that I've come to expect from you. Jesus did not have a wife either, was He disqualified from preaching also??? Plumb silly. The context of I Tim. 3 is dealing w/ Polygamy & YES, I can prove that from the text itself [but that's another thread]. It's just astounding how people on here fall for anything that says what they already want to believe. Telling, verrrrrrrrrrrrrry telling!

I think we have to have common sense...while as I have said over and over, no godly lady is out there trying to kick some man off the platform however God can use her as He wills...

Yes, & common sense is what tells us that since woman is the glory of man, she should not be instructing men! And God is the one who inspired I Tim. 2 & I Cor. 14.

Honestly, I've lost interest in this non-sense. Ya'll are not being honest w/ the Bible. Jeffrey seems to be honest, but the rest of you are just trying to advance your unbiblical agenda. Believe what you will, I'm sticking w/ the Bible. "LOL" indeed!
