[@pattyc216]

Thank you for that video. Many of the things I have against the catholic church are in that video. We don't confess to a priest, we confess our sins to God, the father almighty. Prayer with repetition, such as hail Mary, is not what God wants to hear from us. He wants to hear our hearts. He wants a relationship with us, so our prayers should be personal, between God and ourselves. The body of Christ isn't a church. the body of Christ, the church, is us. Saying Hail Mary 5x is not a way to be absolved of our sins. We must work on our sins through repenting. Then God will forgive us. Not Father Ohnery. Jesus kept with the Jewish holy days, He spoke at Temple on sabbath. Sabbath is Saturday. The Catholic church changed it to Sunday. Not Jesus. Read your Bibles. King James version or New King James version. Nowhere in the bible does it say Jesus changed Sabbath to Sunday. Sabbath has always been on the last day of the week. Not the first. How can you follow the Ten Commandments if you do not keep God's Sabbath rest? There are some wonderful resources at KZbin, and all around the internet. God bless you all. I ask Father God to open your eyes to the truth. In Jesus precious name, Amen

10.) Agreed that a church is a gathering of fellow believers and can be anywhere even in the homes of fellow believers. 9.) Since the bible teaches that God is a god of order and in acts 2:42 that the people devoted themselves to the teachings of the apostles. What the apostles taught came from God. So they were teaching the people about God, his kingdom, etc.... If it is not done in an orderly fashion then how can you learn anything at all. If it keeps changing like the wind then there is no order and nothing gets done. 8.) As far as preaching goes you are right everyone was commissioned to preach at the ascension of Christ. But still the church has to have leaders that are the ones that take up the role of teachers of the congregation. Because if they don't then there is no order in the church. That means someone that is just came into church to see what Christianity is all about. Someone that knows nothing at all about Christianity or the Christian religious denomination that he/she is attending would be called upon to teach that Sunday, which would be dangerous and wrong to do. When the person would be trying to teach others that doesn't know a thing about what he/she is teaching they could lead the group in the wrong direction. You can still have a part in building up the church without being a leader or co-leader. Think of the leader as the head. Now the feet which might be you can still build up the rest of the body. 1 Peter 2:9 is talking to people that are called to be the ones that will one day be co-rulers with Christ. An anointed group of Christ's followers. They are the little flock that Jesus talked about that goes to heaven. Whereas the rest will make up the great crowd that will be here on the earth that follow the lead of those anointed spiritual brothers that take the lead in worship. The only thing that titles should be used for is to denote the ones that take the lead in worship. Where they are still referred to as a brother, which is how my religion is ran. We have a body of elders that take the lead. Then they have others that they have prayerfully chosen that assist them they act like Deacons in other religions. 7.)Tithing actually comes from the Mosaic law and was fulfilled in the Christ and changed to what you mentioned in the video.

[@MrGilfred]

6.) For Christians Sabbath is a rest from dead works. Actually the sabbath for Jews wasn't all day Saturday. Instead it went from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday that was when the Jews observed the Sabbath. 5.) Agreed that the message of salvation is for all that want to be worshiping God for eternity. 4.) Even though no one is infallible. And there is nothing wrong with asking questions. But when the one doing the teaching teaches what the bible really teaches. Teaching the real truth about God, his kingdom, etc... then you should accept such a biblical teaching. We learn in a similar way that the Bereans learned about God. They just didn't accept Paul and Silas' word as fact, they examined the scriptures daily to see if those things were so and commended for doing so. 3.) It is true that women should have no leadership roles in the church. That is unless there are no unbaptized brothers in the congregation. Then one of the women has to take the lead and wear a head covering. This one is not a false teaching. The role that women have is a very important role in the church that doesn't include leadership. Instead they take the lead in preaching and teaching the good news. They are the large army of kingdom preachers because for many families the man is still the one that is the major bread winner of the family. So the wife is freed up to do the majority of the preaching work for the family. Sure the husband can do the work of preaching as well but cannot spend as much time as the wife can. Romans 16:1 only a few versions of the bible use the word deacon for Phoebe. The majority use the word servant which doesn't mean leader. Women can teach others the good news or correct wrong thinking all without actually teaching the congregation or taking leadership roles.

[@MrGilfred]

2.) Celibacy is a teaching that is a misunderstanding of what Paul was saying. He was teaching the Corinthian congregation that those that choose to stay single will do better in God's service because they have more time to devote to God. He wasn't requiring people that take leadership roles to be single. One of the Catholic bibles teaches at 1 Timothy 3:2 that a bishop should be a husband of one wife. I know that the Catholics teach that the wife of the priest is the church. The teaching that the bible teaches here is that bishops should know how to be the leaders of their own family that is not the whole congregation of God. If you cannot properly take care of your own family then how can you take care of the congregation. While the congregation is like a family but it is not the same as your personal fleshly family. Your fleshly family is only a part of the congregation instead of being the whole congregation. 1.) Depends on what you are talking about when you say judging others. The elders are suppose to make judgements concerning what others are doing when they are taking the wrong course of action. Then handle that wrong course of action accordingly. If the person will not repent and veer off of that wrong course of action and is a danger of leading the rest of the congregation stray then the elders must remove that person from the congregation. Then if that person repents later on they can be taken back into the congregation. If elders don't remove people that are a danger of leading others astray like the bible says should be done with unrepentant sinners then they become like the majority of churches that wink at immorality or other sins that unrepentant sinners commit. That shows hypocrisy that even Gandhi noticed during his day.

[@luv2bike02]

The unfortunate error that many churches in modern America have made is actually making an effort to appeal to outsiders rather than disciple and challenge the believers within. “Seeker sensitivity” generally produces a watering down of God’s Word.

[@luv2bike02]

Key word in the great commission is “disciples,” not converts. Welcome outsiders but not at the expense of truthful doctrine.

[@katierucker2870]

I 100% agree. While we shouldn’t turn away outsiders, seeker sensitivity has done a lot of damage to the Church. We start to care about quantity instead of quality. In other words, we care more about the size of the congregation, but not their souls or like you said discipling them.

[@integritech-whakatane3686]

You forgot the biggest belief of all… Say a little prayer and you are saved. Nowhere in scripture is this observed, nowhere did anyone utter such a prayer or call for such a prayer. It’s a human invention leaving many still in sin and unsaved. Yet if you look throughout the New Testament, particularly the book of Acts, we find many repenting (turning away from their sin toward God), being baptised (fully immersed in water) for the forgiveness of their sin and being filled with the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:37-39; Romans 6; Colossians 2:11-15. There are many others besides. So we see the fundamental importance of realising our sin before God (and our complete inadequacy of dealing with it our own way), turning away from our sin and being baptised (leaving our sin in the grave and rising up with Christ anew) for the forgiveness of our sin and being filled with God’s Spirit helping us walk in new life with Him. It’s not a prayer that saves us, it’s an act of our will to change. Change on His terms, in accordance with scripture.

[@Depreezed]

Lets continue to read the verse you gave Colossians to 19 "and not holding fast to the Head, from whom the whole body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that is from God" what is the body? Colossians 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent" what religion saved for sacrifices? Romans 16:16 "Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ greet you".

[@brucewmclaughlin9072]

If " Say a little prayer and you are saved " is not continued on with what the scriptures tell you then you are deceiving many new believers .Matthew 28:19-20 King James Version 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Mark 16:15-16 King James Version 15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. So we see that the "Be my buddy prayer" is not what the scriptures actually teach. Part of is not all of. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations . Not go and evangelize then leave with no further teaching.

[@integritech-whakatane3686]

@ hi Bruce, thanks for your reply. So I’m not sure whether you agree with me or not. It’s kinda hard to understand where you are coming from. If you have said a prayer asking Jesus into your heart, then in accordance with what we see in scripture, you are not saved. Even the scriptures you have presented agree with the scriptures I have posted and none of them point to to a prayer that leads to salvation or forgiveness of sin. If you are saying that I am disregarding discipleship, I am not, it is vital. However, in order for discipleship to take place, a biblical conversion must be in place first.

[@brucewmclaughlin9072]

@@integritech-whakatane3686 "Be my buddy prayer" is not what the scriptures actually teach. Part of, is not all of. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations . Not go and evangelize then leave with no further teaching. So i agree with you it is not a simple prayer that saves it is what the scriptures teach . Acts 16:29 The jailer called for lights, rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas. 30 He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 31 They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved-you and your household.” 32 Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all the others in his house. 33 At that hour of the night the jailer took them and washed their wounds; then immediately he and all his household were baptized. So no ,there is not the simple prayer to be said and suddenly you are a born again believer. The scriptures are clear that you need teaching after you ask Jesus into your life , confessing Him as Lord and repenting of the direction you are currently, as a non believer , on .Acts 3:19 what bad grammar did I miss a spell check?

[@hfrt29]

Tru. I went to a Baptist church like that

[@buckbuchanan4902]

Let the word of God once and for all dispense with the notion that once we are saved, we are always saved. That is a lie from Hell and here is the truth from the Bible: John 10:28-29 "And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand." Verse 28 MUST be considered in light of verse 27: "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me." The true followers of Jesus - 1) hear His voice (the context here is that they not only hear, but listen intently), 2) He knows them (the context here is that Jesus knows they are true followers) and 3) they follow Him. It is the people who continue in these three conditions who have eternal life and cannot be snatched away. Let's look at more verses for what the Bible says about losing our salvation: 1) Hebrews 6:4-6 "For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame. 2) 2 Peter 2:20-22 “If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning.” 3) John 15:6 “If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.” We need to not just call on the name of the Lord, but remain in Him! 4) Matthew 7:21-23 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” This expand what it means for us to properly call on the Lord. It's not just saying the words, but submitting and staying submitted to the will of God. 5) 1 Timothy 4:1 “The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.” So even after calling on the Lord and being saved, we can abandon that salvation and follow demons. 6) Matthew 24:13 “But the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.” What does that mean for the one that does not stand firm to the end? They will lose their salvation! 7) Luke 8:13 “Those on the rocky ground are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away.” We can call on the Lord and be saved, and then later lose faith and fall away. 8) 1 Corinthians 10:12 “So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall!” 9) Hebrews 10:26-27 “If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.” After we have called on the Lord, we must not continue deliberately sinning or we will face the judgment and fire. 10) 1 John 2:24-25 “As for you, see that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father. And this is what he promised us - eternal life.” What about if what you have heard does NOT remain in you? You will NOT remain in the Son or the Father, or have eternal life. 11) 2 Timothy 2:12 “If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we disown him, he will also disown us.” Doesn't get much clearer than that! 12) Hebrews 3:12 “See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.” Paul is warning believers to guard their hearts against unbelief that will turn them away from God and salvation. 13) Romans 11:22 “Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off.” If we choose not to continue in the Kindness of God, we will be cut off. 14) Colossians 1:22-23 “But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation- IF you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel.” This is a conditional promise that IF we choose to remain in the faith and not move out of it, we will be free from accusation. If we don't, we have stepped out of the covering of the blood of Jesus and stand our sins are open to accustation and punishment. 15) Philippians 2:12 “Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed- not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence- continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling.” Paul is clearly saying that salvation can be lost and needs to be continually worked out with fear and trembling (submission to God). 16) Jude 1:5 “Though you already know all this, I want to remind you that the Lord at one time delivered his people out of Egypt, but later destroyed those who did not believe.” Jude reminds the believers of God’s past judgments, highlighting that initial deliverance doesn’t guarantee future safety. Continued belief is crucial to avoid falling under judgment. 17) 1 Corinthians 15:2 “By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.” Another clear conditional promise that IF, after being saved, you hold firmly to the gospel, you remain saved. But IF you don't, you fall under judgment. 18) Romans 11:20-21 “Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but tremble. For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.” Paul cautions against arrogance in our faith stance, urging a humble and trembling spirit. The fate of the natural branches (Israel) serves as a warning to us. 19) Mark 13:13 “Everyone will hate you because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.” Jesus is telling believers that only those who stand firm to the end will believe. So clearly if we walk away from Him, our salvation is lost! 20) 2 Corinthians 13:5 “Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you-unless, of course, you fail the test?” Paul is warning believers in the church to keep testing themselves, that they remain in the faith and not fall away.

[@PancakeRecipe_]

Okay, let's all calm down. The Bible doesn't specify what makes a deacon. And that topic is not what's important right now. What is being said is that women are absolutely allowed to serve in the church as well as men. All of us, male and female, are made in God's image and He does not think of one gender less capable than the other.

[@mlwilliams4407]

As Paul's letter to the Romans contains, he shows trust and authority to Phoebe, a “diakonos (deacon) of the church at Cenchreae.”, who held a respected ministry role. As Paul's letter to Titus and first letter to Timothy contains, a deacon (male or female that teaches and guides others) must have spiritual fidelity and commitment (marital or single) qualifications...with an example of a dedicated husband of one wife. Priscilla, along with her husband Aquila, privately taught Apollos, a well-versed preacher. The phrase “they took him aside” shows spiritual maturity (e.g. not making a public spectacle of one of his shortcomings at that time). The word “them” in italics or bold indicates a word added by translators to clarify the sentence, not to imply secrecy. This joint teaching shows Paul’s approval (and God's will) of women teaching, especially when paired with other respected believers. The entire Bible (both Old and New Testament) contain God's will for all-of-time and situational (for just that time). Paul’s teachings on women remaining silent in the church was situational because at that time in Corinth, unrestrained participation was causing disorder (1 Corinthians 14:33). Phoebe, Priscilla, Junia (Romans 16:7), and other women had significant ministry roles in the early church. Hope this helps and Amen!

What is a deacon? God's 'gofer', go for, a helper. While it is important, don't magnify it into a five fold ministry office.

@@danielwilkinson1024 Agreed. With Christianity, titles should only be a result of that human's current state of being (thus current abilities...including how the Holy Spirit uniquely works in that Christian). Just like how beings (God, angels, humans) have names, when used according to God's will, titles help in uniting and doing God's will together (preaching, teaching, learning, etc).

[@jakeaurod]

Tithing was in the Old Testament, and it was to fund the activities of the non-landed Levite tribe. While some of the Levites served as priests in the tabernacle, not all of them did this, at least not constantly. Levites, who were literate, also served as scribes and record keepers and performed functions that we attribute to _government_ today. So, keep that in mind when you complain about taxes. Also remember that in Numbers 31, the gold that was taken in war was to be given to the tabernacle/temple to make public works. Also remember that the crops in the Corners of the Fields were to be left for the hungry. The percentage is debated, but it basically means that you need to give or accept that some of your production or income must be given or allowed to be given to the needy.

[@WatcherNine]

It wasn't money either, it was a the first portion of the produce you made, whether it was crops, bread, wine, goods, etc. Later in the old testament it changed when the (second) temple was built. People sold their goods for currency, then exchanged that currency at the front outside of the temple for temple coins which would be the offering. Those are the exchange tables Jesus flipped in his rage against the temple desecration.

[@tnowandthen-t8t]

@@Old_Viking_65 No, Abraham may be a good example to us, but Abraham was not commanded to tithe. He did so as a voluntary thing, which is exactly what is *_taught_* (not *_commanded_* ) in the New Testament. In the New Covenant, there is no *_requirement_* to give ANYTHING.

Yes Phoebe was a deacon, which is essentially a servant role. It does not say that she ruled over men in the church.

[@Infidel-y5j]

Absolutely correct. All the women are "ministers" but not within the congregation. This part about Phoebe refers to what she does outside, like preaching to the public or assisting others in spiritual activities or physical needs. Paul never said to receive any instructions from her but rather _"to receive her in the Lord in a way worthy of his people and to give her any help she may need from you, for she has been the benefactor of many people, including me."_ (Romans 16:2) A benefactor is someone who gives money or other help to a person or cause. It does not mean someone taking the lead.

The understanding that I got from the Bible was that Jesus was the fulfillment of the Sabbath. The Messianic Age was considered by Jews to be one long Sabbath. No, the Sabbath isn't abolished; it is definitely fulfilled, but by Christ in you. Example: A man becomes indwelt by the Spirit on Wednesday night. He wakes up on Thursday, but dies that day. He had no chance to observe the Sabbath, because he died before it came. Yet on his great white throne judgment, he is regarded by God as having fulfilled the whole law, including the Sabbath. Why, if he never observed a Sabbath? Because Christ in him fulfilled it.

​@@crazypotato4451 It is what I said...the subjects are lightly covered...not much one can do in a 7:38 minute video...folks need to dig into God's word, the Holy bible...cross reference scripture...do a systematic study, including what the Greek and Hebrew (Paleo, also) words, and the parts of those words, meant during biblical times...their living day to day customs and manners, etc...let me give an example: The head of the household is sitting at table, having been served by a servant...midway through the head gets up, after folding his napkin and placing it beside his plate...what does that mean? Jesus did just such an act at the Last Supper...does this mean every elder, bishop, pastor, leader must also fold their napkin and place it on the table prior to leaving, as if they are finished? It seems there are those who might assume so...but let's look behind the custom and manner, shall we? It was the custom that if the head waded-up his napkin and tossed it in his plate it meant that he was finished, and that the servant could clear the head's plates, cups, bowls from the table; however, if the napkin is neatly folded and placed on the table it means that the head is not finished and that he would be returning...Jesus was saying, "I'll be back." Not the Arnold Schwarzenegger style of "I'll be back," but that He, Jesus is going to return. If you do not know the manners and customs of bible lands, times and people, it is easy to miss the subtleties of the text...there are hidden treasures, jewels, hidden in God's word...like God is whispering to us...Proverbs 25:2 KJV "It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: But the honour of kings is to search out a matter." God is drawing us into a deeper study of Him, His will, His purpose and direction for us...The Lord wants a personal relationship with each and everyone of us...not some casual see you for an hour on some specified day of the week, and then to go about our way as if He did not exist the rest of the time...that is no way to live...to live for the Lord Jesus Christ is to walk side by side...to actually hear what He says in His word, and then to apply that Word to our lives through the power of the Holy Spirit in us...yep, when you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, the Holy Spirit comes to take up residency in your life...He is the stamp that seals one to the day of redemption...The Holy Spirit is our guide, our comforter...all that I have written herein, is in God's word... Here is a poem/prose that someone penned long ago...I have modified it to fit my walk with Jesus. I hope it adds to your understanding of what it is like to walk in the Lord: FOOTPRINTS...A New Version Imagine you and the Lord Jesus are walking down the road together. For much of the way, the Lord's footprints go along steadily, consistently, rarely varying the pace. But your footprints are a disorganized stream of zigzags, starts, stops, turnarounds, circles, departures, and returns. (This is exactly my experience with Jesus - nothing quiet or off in the corner about it.) For much of the way, it seems to go like this, but gradually your footprints come more in line with the Lord's, soon paralleling, His consistently...You and Jesus are walking as true friends! This seems perfect, but then an interesting thing happens: Your footprints that once etched the sand next to Jesus' are now walking precisely in His steps. Inside His larger footprints are your smaller ones, you and Jesus are becoming one…This goes on for many miles, but gradually you notice another change. The footprints inside the large footprints seem to grow larger. Eventually they disappear altogether. There is only one set of footprints.. They have become one. This goes on for a long time, but suddenly the second set of footprints is back. This time it seems even worse! Zigzags all over the place. Stops. Starts. Gashes in the sand. A variable mess of prints. You are amazed and shocked. Your dream ends. Now you pray: 'Lord, I understand the first scene, with zigzags and fits. I was a new Christian; I was just learning. But You walked on through the storm and helped me learn to walk with You.' 'That is correct.' 'And when the smaller footprints were inside of Yours, I was actually learning to walk in Your steps, following You very closely…' 'Very good.. You have understood everything so far…' When the smaller footprints grew and filled in Yours, I suppose that I was becoming like You in every way.' 'Precisely.' 'So, Lord, was there a regression or something? The footprints separated, and this time it was worse than at first.' There is a pause as the Lord answers, with a smile in His voice, “You didn't know? It was then that we danced!” ☝ It is all about discovery; learning with the Lord as guide. KZbin videos may be spot on, but all too frequently they fall terribly short...that is what has taken place here...and "too short" simply does not measure up to what our Lord wants for you and for each of his kids. Get into His word, get into a personal relationship with Him where you walk beside Him, then into His footprints, then...you dance.

Not only are ministers preaching doctrines that are not found in the Bible, but they are also preaching doctrines which their denomination has published official positions on, saying "this doctrine is wrong." Pastors, all paid staff, and even the church board do not know their own denomination's official position on a large number of doctrines. A person should never assume a pastor knows his denomination's official position on any doctrine or that he is willing to conform to his denomination's official position, even if he knows it. Several denominations have a Department of Doctrinal Purity, and they can be alerted to a pastor whose teachings are "off" and issue him an official letter of correction. If the pastor continues advocating this doctrine, especially if he does this in publications or books he has written, his license will be revoked. The denomination cannot allow their brand to be on something that does not match their brand. A pastor who receives repeated letters of correction will cause the denomination to realize "this guy is not going to meet in the middle" and they will revoke his license. However....even though I recognize this problem, I also know denominations can correct pastors when there is no biblical support for the correction. Denominations can be wrong, too. "Social dancing" is a sin that the video leaves out, that some denominations call a sin. It, of course, appears nowhere in the Bible. Tobacco use occurs 0.0 times in the Bible, yet many denominations call it a sin. It should be noted that in North America, during the time of the 13 Colonies (prior to the American Revolution), the ministers were paid their salary in tobacco, because it was worth more than paper or coin money. So the church went from paying its ministers in tobacco to forbidding members from using tobacco. The scripture did not change; the church changed.

[@ricardoconqueso]

Context bud. The audience here is Timothy, who is church planting in Ephesus. The Church in Ephesus is being targeted by false teachers, perhaps specifically the women in this specific Church. The word here is not simply "exercise authority." It would also be valid to translate αὐθεντέω "violently domineer." This word is literally used in some places for murder. So why is Paul talking about women not having violent dominion? It's not like he lets men have that either, after all. Ephesus is the center of the cult of Artemis. Like, wonder of the world scale temple, problems happen as soon as Paul gets there in Acts. Her cult is everywhere in this city, and disconnecting from it to convert to Christianity is difficult and costly, and returning to it would be a constant temptation. In that cult, women did indeed exercise violent dominion over men. And Artemis was the goddess women would appeal to for safety and childbirth. So we can be pretty confident that Paul is responding to some issue involving the cult of Artemis. Paul is telling Timothy that Christianity needs to be distinct from the cult of Artemis, you can't mix the two, have one foot in each religion, or import practices from the cult. Women can't mistreat men any more than men can mistreat women, and new converts from that cult don't need to be taught until they have learned. But you also can't Misogynistically ignore women who are being given false teachings; women absorbing false teachings can be catastrophic, as it was with Eve. If women are worried about safety in childbirth, let them live right before God rather than appeal to Artemis. Remember, Paul is not Jesus. Paul lives in a specific context. Jesus did and also did not. He welcomed women into ministry and leadership the same as men. The early church, especially in Rome, was a collaborative effort between men and women. If you want to exclude women from leadership, by all means, but you'll only get half the story.

[@nelsoncheng2674]

@ you ignored the entire part where it says something akin to “so it was eve who were supposed to be blamed, and not Adam, because she was lied to by the devil first and accepted it.” So basically it was never something that targeted a specific “context”, it was a broad denial of women interms of authority and leadership, and I’m doing just that.

@@geraldbritton8118 "Complementarianism" is rubbish. It confuses the difference between *the marital relationship* (which a married person is in with his/her spouse, therefore is unique in a married Christian's life) and *societal relationships* which means all other relationships which are not marriage (with one or more people of either/both gender(s), because societal relationships are not sexual). The martial relationship is 'somewhat complementarian' (but not completely so, because no human can totally complete another human, only God can complete any person). Marriage is the only human-human relationship which is 'somewhat complementarian'. Societal relationships are (or should be) egalitarian (because of Galatians 3:28, and because of Christ's command to "love your neighbour AS YOURSELF"). Complementarianism is totally inappropriate to societal relationships. We are born equal. We Christians are 'born again equal' in Christ. The thing that makes marriage so unequal is "contractual obligations" which are a consequence of the marriage contract (which spouses enter into when they marry). They were not bound by those contractual obligations before they married, and when the marriage comes to an end, they are not bound by those contractual obligations from that time onwards. The contractual obligations only apply to the parties to the contract - within marriage - therefore do not apply outweith marriage (to anyone who is not a party to the contract). Pedants, please note: a covenant is a type of contract. So the fact that marriage is a "covenant" does not stop marriage also being a "contract". It's just a specialised contract, but it's still a contract.

God has a preference for a man to teach. However, there may exist exceptions. There was a missionary story which was told to me in which a woman missionary was the one who made the effort to learn the language of the tribe, and do all the missionary work in a difficult jungle location where no one wanted to travel. So this one woman taught the Word of God to the whole tribe...even the tribal elders. Now would it have been better for a man to have taught them? Of course. But there were no men available who knew the language like she did, so it was she who persisted in this job. She said that she expected some man to come and take her place one day, but no man ever did, because they didnt want to travel to her jungle location and learn the language. After a while, I'm sure some of the tribesmen took on leadership roles themselves, but it was only after being properly equipped by this woman missionary. So here's the concept I want you all to grasp...while God prefers a man to teach, there exist some situations in which it is ok for the woman to preach and teach as well. Often this is because there are no other options for the preaching and teaching. To a lesser extent, this can also be true of teaching the "women's groups" in the church today. Who among the men feels called to teach a womens-only group? Not that many. This is why we have the typical woman teacher for the woman's group. Because the men don't "feel called" to it. If the woman didn't teach, there would BE no group teacher. I strongly believe that there needs to be tolerance in the church for exceptions like these to exist, especially in cases where a woman is, in fact, properly trained in the bible.

[@otisellis7131]

Great point -but exceptions are not the rule. You can say that if there is no man properly trained to preach/lead a church then a woman should be appointed. I guess the problem with that exception is you have a church that is being lead by a woman -and that is not what Priscilla and Aquila was called to do neither did Jesus call a woman to be a disciple even though He appeared to women first when he was resurrected. Nor doe this exception bring into call the scripture that says a woman should not usurp a man’s authority (1 Timothy 2:12). I welcome your thoughts with grace and understanding..

An important thing about "women in leadership" is that yes, women can and should have a standing in church leadership, but their roles or what they should or could do are separate from what men can. A woman can't fill the role of priest or deacon; she can, however, fill the role of a mother superior or a nun/sister. The same goes for the opposite; a man can't be a nun or mother superior, but he can be a priest or deacon. Everyone is created in the image and likeness of God and should be equally respected. However, it's essential to recognize that although we're all equal, we still have strengths and weaknesses. We should focus on building up our strengths and using them to serve God instead of focusing on weaknesses to either put others down or as a vain attempt to be "perfect." The ideal setup (based on the bible) would be that men take on the "main" leadership roles that have to do more with teaching the word of God and more traditionally "masculine" tasks, and women would help on the more charity-focused or "feminine" front and would be there to tell the men when they're being stupid or what the people's needs are. (Like how Mary told Jesus that they needed more wine at the wedding and insisted on it even when he said, "his time hadn't come") TLDR: The men are the "builders," and the women are the ones telling them what needs to be built. (And to clarify, in case anyone gets mad, the "stupid" part is a joke. I just mean when they need a reality check or get too caught up in their pride to see their errors or other people's needs.) (Also, the wedding example is just an example of a woman directing a man or men. I'm not saying Jesus was being prideful or stupid. That in itself would be prideful and stupid)

For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. Paul wrote this, and Jesus affirmed Paul in this ministry after resurrecting from the dead. Women can serve in the church teaching other women and children, but are not to have authority over men. They can encourage and pray for men, but not lead them at all. The Lord says so in His Word.

the Greek word used is "gyné" Which means "wife". It does not mean "any woman, whether married or single", it specifically means "woman who is married". Adam & Eve were married to each other. Eve was a "wife".

[@Wally-gm1pd]

@@p-a-m-channel2350 Wrong! See any lexicon, it will inform you that it (gyné) means 1. a woman of marriageable age and 2. wife.

If gynaikas means wives then in 1 Tim 2:9 would you argue that only wives are to dress modestly, but that single women are free to show off the flesh in their dress? Paul is saying in 1 Tim 2 that mature women are not to teach or have authority. This command given with apostolic authority is not limited to the marriage relationship.

[@p-a-m-channel2350]

@@Wally-gm1pd That's where you (and the academic reference book which you are trusting, which is not the Bible) are wrong. "Gyné" does not mean "any woman of marriageable age, whether married or not". No first century Koiné Greek speaker would have misunderstood that word in that way. The proof is found in 1Corinthians 7:34. It says the wife and the unmarried woman are different, then goes on to explain how they are different from each other. "Gyné" is the word used for "wife". The difference is, that the "gyné" has a husband, therefore the "gyné" has less freedom, compared to "she who has no husband" who has more freedom than the "gyné". You can't get clearer than that (and it's scripture). "Gyné" means a woman who has a husband. A woman who has no husband is not a "gyné". (The word used for "female" in Galatians 3:28 is not "gyné", it is "thalé". "Thalé" means "anyone female, whether married or not". If Paul had wanted to forbid "anyone female, whether married or not" from speaking, he would have used the word "thalé" , but he did not forbid the "thalé" from speaking in church. Paul forbade the "gyné" (the married woman) from speaking (in church, in the presence of her husband while both are in public). See also Matthew 19:4-19:5. "Male" & "female" are "arsein" & "thalé" in verse 4. But in verse 5, "gynaikos" (accusative case of "gyné") is "wife". You can't get much clearer than that. The Greek-speaking recipients of Paul's letters did not need anyone to explain to them that "gyné" means "a married woman"/"a wife", because they already knew that. What they did not realise (therefore needed to have explained to them) was the practical consequences of being a "wife" (namely, that a "wife" (gyné) has less freedom than "she who has no husband"). You need to get yourself an Interlinear Literal Translation, if you study that, the matter becomes clear. Trinitarian Bible Society is one reputable publisher that supplies a good Interlinear translation of both OT and NT in one volume. Regarding Acts, it is quite possible that a Christian's wife would be arrested & jailed along with her husband. That's a reasonable translation of the verse. (It's not unusual for a criminal's family to be punished along with a criminal, in historic times. In the times of Charles Dickens, in England, the entire family of a debtor would go to the debtors prison along with their relative who owed the debt). Arresting the wife along with the husband added to the persecution being practiced by the authorities against Christians, it put more pressure on married Christians to apostatise, if they did not only have to think about their own personal safety. That's one reason why Paul told married Christians (in 1Corinthians 7) that if they have an unbelieving spouse, and the spouse wants to desert the Christian, the Christian should let the non-believing spouse go free. (Staying with a Christian spouse could mean life or death for the unbelieving spouse, when anti-Christian persecution was going on). 1Corinthians 7 (the whole chapter) gives a lot of insight into how difficult being married was, for Christians during a time when the civil and Jewish authorities were practicing active & widespread persecution against Christians. Regarding the clothing, unmarried women dressed more modestly than wives, so did not need to be told to dress modestly, because they already did so. There's two types of modesty: sexual modesty and financial modesty. Braided hair was a reference to sexual modesty or the lack thereof. Expensive clothing was a reference to financial modesty or the lack thereof - expensive clothing was a status symbol. An unmarried woman would feel no temptation to look sexually alluring in order to keep a husband that she did not have. The unmarried woman would also have no status of her own (nor a husband's status) to exhibit by wearing status-symbol clothing. The social pressure would all be on a wife, to keep her husband's interest in her body privately and to flaunt his wealth in public. Whether you like it or not, in 1Timothy 2, Paul was forbidding a WIFE from teaching her own HUSBAND or having authority over her own HUSBAND. It was that specific. If a wife treated her own husband in that way, it would subvert Ephesians 5:22-5:33 (which is also specifically limited to being about the marriage relationship between husband and wife. Nobody says "hey, 'gyné' could mean 'any woman, regardless of martial status' here" when translating Eph 5:22-5:33. Translators all admit that 'gyné' means 'wife' at this point in scripture. They admit that 'gyné' means 'married woman' while translating 1Cor 7:34 (they really have no choice but to admit that fact, while translating 1Cor 7:34). They admit that 'gyné' means 'wife' while translating 1Cor 7:2-7:5 (it could only possibly mean 'married woman' and 'wife' in that passage, also. There's absolutely no way that God would require any unmarried woman to fornicate on demand with any man who is not her husband! THINK! And 1Cor 7:2-7:5 is not a command for every single Christian to get married - if it was, it would contradict the verses later on in the same chapter in which single Christians are commended/told that they are free to stay unmarried/it's OK for them to have allowed unbelieving spouses to have divorced them/will do better than married people/have more freedom to serve God. Clearly, the entire chapter leaves us in no doubt that marriage is not compulsory for Christians, and singleness is good). So 1Cor 7:2-7:5 is all the proof that you need that the only possible translation of "gyné" is "wife". (But you've also got 7:34 and Eph 5:22-5:33). So why don't translators do the honest thing and admit that "all other occurrences of 'gyné' also mean 'wife', because 'a woman who is married' is what the word 'gyné' means"? You also can not give me one New Testament verse in which the word "gyné" could only possibly mean a "single woman" and could not possibly be translated as "married woman". That's not surprising, when the word 'gyné' only means "a woman who is married" (and in at least 3 places in NT scripture, "married woman" is the only possible translation of the word "gyné").

Read the 4 gospels and then read the letters of Paul, they are very different and you can easily tell that there is a different message and that Paul's previous role as a pharisee is more than apparent.

But there are consistent patterns where God's will for all Christians is demonstrated by the early churches: Assemble on the first day (Sunday aka "Lord's Day"), have the Lord's Supper when assembling, etc. 8) Yes! All humans are different, and the Holy Spirit works differently in each Christian. Whatever the Christian should do based on their abilities, they should do (preach, teach, etc). 7) YES! Give from the heart and with joy. 6) Yep. The Sabbath was pre-new covenant only. With Christianity, the Lord's day is the first day of the week, Sunday. 5) YES! The more diverse, the better too. 4) Good gracious yes! All humans are imperfect. Denominations are anti-Christian. 3) Absolutely! The Bible contains God's will that's for all-of-time and situational (just that time/location). Any New Testament scripture that is gender-limiting when it comes to ministry is because of a specific situation at that specific location at that time in the 1st century. 2) Correct. It's God's will for humans to use their free will that when they are single they are righteously single, or if they are married they are righteously married (completely committed to each other). 1) Yes, but what most Christians do not do, but should is be open for spiritual constructive criticism in order to grow deeply for/with God together.

@@dorrien10 The Sabbath, as established in the Old Testament, was indeed on the seventh day, Saturday, and was deeply important to Israel as a sign of God’s covenant with His people (Exodus 20:8-11). In the New Testament, however, there's a shift in worship practices among believers, beginning with Jesus’ resurrection, which occurred on the first day of the week (Sunday) and is called the ‘Lord’s Day’. The apostles and early Christians consistently gathered on the first day of the week to break bread, worship, and fellowship, as seen in Acts 20:7 and 1 Corinthians 16:2. They did this to commemorate Jesus’ resurrection and to symbolize the new covenant. This gathering became central to Christian worship, which differed from the Sabbath observance commanded in the Old Testament. Paul discusses the Sabbath in Colossians 2:16-17, teaching that Christians are not bound by Old Testament festivals, new moons, or Sabbaths, as these were "a shadow of things to come" with Christ as the fulfillment. By the end of the first century, Sunday had definitively become known as the "Lord’s Day," as seen in Revelation 1:10. Early Christian writings outside the Bible, like those of Ignatius of Antioch and Justin Martyr, also reflect that Christians observed Sunday as the primary day of worship, in honor of Christ’s resurrection. This wasn’t a man-made change but a shift rooted in the new covenant and the consistent practices of the earliest believers. Hope this helps.

Also I don't believe Timothy is speaking about an anointed woman lead by the spirit of God (she is not needing to be taught by church goers how to carry the message that God has gave her). God has used women through out history to get His work done. Jesus came to the defense of women time and time again. Like it or not a woman will be much quicker in standing up for the injustices of the world than a man. A woman is usually the one that teaches her children about God and builds a foundation that proves that it is never wrong to be kind. It was men who started wars that caused women to have to take roles in the church to keep it going here in the United States.

You left out some parts. "nothing is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude" - Meaning, if you can't bring yourself to be grateful for something, it's not good for you to receive. Elsewhere, it is stated that if it would cause my brother to sin, then I will not eat meat. - Meaning don't eat meat around a vegetarian if you know it would grieve or incite them. By good Christian teachings, such an act is tantamount to a spiritual assault. Likewise, people were instructed not to even ask about the origin of the meat in the marketplace, not because its method of slaughter was bad or because it was offered to idols which are nothing. For both of these reasons as well as the one before, these directives are solely for the sake of maintaining good conscience . Paul directly said that it is *good* not to touch a woman, but it is because of sexual immoralities that man and woman are united in marriage. He also goes onto say that he wishes all were like him, meaning celibate, girding one's loins if you will. The Bible clearly states that celibacy is ideal for those who are capable of controlling themselves because it allows one to fully dedicate their lives to God. However, if someone lacks such self-control, then marriage is good because the alternative is to burn in desire. When a married body behaves in the way God intended, marriage will relieve these impulses without sin. However, the downside is that a husband and wife will inevitably prioritize one another's needs instead of serving God first. That's not "bad", per se. It's just how it is. (Definitely _not_ a sufficient reason to actually institute a _requirement_ of celibacy among clergy. Such men are exceptional, not the standard. The Bible details qualities of the inscrutably faithful family man as the ideal leader of community churches for good reason, methinks. Good marriage means they'll be well cared for and much less likely to succumb to temptations, thus preventing slander against the church by nonbelievers.) Regardless of my opinions, these are both very nuanced subjects, and cherry-picking a few verses like we've done here is rarely sufficient to demonstrate such details.

Women can lead within a church, just not as head pastor or elders. They can lead other women or children, etc. Women have a valuable role to play as long as they are not preaching over men.

[@JoesWebPresence]

Here are the notes on this from my Hebrew/Greek key study bible: 1 Cor 14:33-40 The question frequently asked concerning this portion of scripture is ‘does the apostle Paul forbid women to speak at all or to pray or prophesy in church?’ This particular passage must be related to what has gone before in the speaking in an unknown tongue which was the practice in Corinth. Across the bay from Corinth was Delphi, Greece’s most famous centre of oracles. It is impossible that what was happening at Delphi did not affect the Corrinthians since inter-commerce was common. As in many other cities, there was also a Corinthian treasury in Delphi. Those who wished to consult the Delphic oracle first sacrificed a sheep, goat, boar or other animal, after which, if the omens were favourable, they went into the room adjoining the Adyton or inner shrine. It is interesting that Paul in 1 Cor 8 deals with sacrifice to idols, no doubt influenced by these Delphic sacrifices. At the inner shrine they waited their turn, which was determined by lot unless they had received from the Delphians the promanteia, or prior right of consultation. No women were admitted. They handed in questions written on leaden tablets, many of which have been discovered. The pythia, or priestess (note that it was a priestess not a priest) who delivered the oracle was a peasant woman over fifty years of age. At the height of the oracle’s fame there were three priestesses. After purifying herself in the Castalian fountain (see baptismoi, 909 ablutions practiced) drinking of the water of the Kassotis (note the parallelism in 1 Cor 12:13 ‘and we all drank of one spirit’), and eating a laurel leaf, she took her seat upon a tripod which was placed over the chasm of the Adyton. Intoxicated by the fumes from the chasm, she uttered incoherent soundswhich were interpreted (observe speaking in an unknown tongue and the interpretation of it) in hexameter verse by a waiting poet. The interpretation, which was always obscure and frequently equivocal, was handed over to the enquirer who usually returned home more mystified than when he had come. (Source: Stuart Rossiter, Greece; London: Earnest Benn, Ltd. P. 400) What Paul wrote in 1 Cor 14:33-40, therefore, was undoubtedly influenced by this practice and the predominant participation of women at the oracles of Delphi. They were not allowed to go into the inner shrine, but it was a woman who was the priestess. Is it any wonder that Paul reacted to a practice so closely related to such paganism within the Christian church? Paul’s comments in 1 Cor 11:2-16 in regard to the covering of the women’s head were a reaction to the existence of a thousand priestesses at the temple of Aphrodite on Acrocorinth. These priestesses, or temple prostitutes, were commonly seen without any covering on their heads and having short hair, unbecoming to a modest woman of those days. Paul’s concern, therefore, was that Christian women should never allow themselves to be viewed in any way as resembling those of a low moral stature. In 1 Cor 11:3, 16 his concern is that a woman in worship should very clearly be identified as a moral woman, if by nothing else than the long hair or the covering of her head.. After all, if one of the prostitutes became saved, the only way she could enter an assembly of believers was to wear a covering (peribolaion, 4018, 1 Cor 11:15) instead of long hair which would take a while to grow. This was the practice particularly in Corinth in view of the evil behaviour which was so nearby at Acrocorinth. It was a good custom that had local meaning. Why flaunt it and produce quarreling within the Christian church? This was Paul’s argument. This passage becomes clearer if we examine the conclusion in v. 16 ‘But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.’ Good customs that are meaningful locally ought not to be resisted, but to be kept for what they symbolise. This was the general principle enunciated in 1 Cor 11:2-16 and similarly in chapter 14:33-40, but this time not in regard to Acrocorinth, but in regard to Delphi. A priestess who speaks incoherently and leads men astray as in Delphi? Never! That was Paul’s point of view. The main verse that constitutes the foundation of all that Paul says in 1 Cor. 14 is v. 33 ‘For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.’ Actually, the word ‘author’ does not occur in the Greek text. It simply states that He is not a God of confusion. The interpreter of the oracles at Delphi always gave an ambiguous interpretation which would please the recipient and never expose the priestess who gave it, whereas God does not speak to confuse men. The verse applies to all that preceded it and all that follows it concerning the speaking of women in the churches. Paul makes it clear that in all the other churches, there was no confusion such as there was in the Corinthian church to which He was writing. The peace of the other churches and lack of confusion was due to the fact that there was not the same practice of speaking in an unknown tongue as the Corinthians, perhaps allowing their women to imitate the Delphic priestesses. The prohibition of women speaking in churches may have come from such practices.

[@JoesWebPresence]

. . . (continued.) Another very important instruction of Paul is found in vv. 39-40, closing this discussion that actually begins with 1 Cor 12. Paul’s conclusion, ‘Wherefore brethren, covet to prophesy,’ or be zealous about prophesying. This is in the present infinitive which refers to constantly giving forth the word of God. Because there was confusion among them, it didn’t mean that they should stop te3aching or witnessing. ‘And to speak in tongues do not prohibit.’ Again, it is in the present imperative, koluete (2967), meaning ‘When a person does not speak our own language, do not forbid him to minister in his own language which can be interpreted.’ In v. 40, Paul closes by saying, ‘Let all things be done decently and in order.’ Again, the imperative is ginestho, ‘should be done,’ the present imperative of ginomai (1096), which means ‘to let it be continuously and repetitively.’ This as a principle applies to all the churches (v. 34) although it was born out of a practice existing only in Corinth. Therefore, his instructions to the Corinthians from vv. 34-38 are to be applied among all the churches. When Paul says in v. 34 ‘Your women in the churches, let them be silent,’ it was not an instruction to the men in general in any church not to permit any women to speak, but for husbands to guide and teach their own wives lest they produce confusion and disturbance in a meeting, particularly with their exercise of a gift that they thought they had and were so anxious to externalise; namely, speaking in an unknown tongue as was the manner of the Delphic priestesses. The verb lalein, the infinitive of laleo (2980), has been exclusively used in this whole discussion in speaking both in foreign languages and also particularly in the speaking of the unknown tongue of Corinth. The reason he uses laleo and not lego (3004) is because laleo refers to the mere utterance of sounds without the speaker necessarily knowing what he is saying or others understanding. Lego on the other hand is saying something that is the product of one’s thought. Naturally no thinking person will speak without others understanding him. Therefore, Paul uses laleo because among the Corinthiansstress was placed upon the languages themselves and not necessarily the content of the speech involved. Since Paul in 1 Cor 11:5 assumes that a woman prays and prophesies, and this cannot refer to only a restricted group then the word laleo in 1 Cor 14:34-35, if taken to be speaking generally, would contradict 1 Cor 11:5. There can be no contradiction in what Paul says, even as there is no contradiction in what he says about himself speaking in languages more than them all (1 Cor 14:18) and at the same time telling them in v. 23 that if a strangercame and heard them speak all at once in their unknown tongue, he would think they were all mad or maniacs. Paul would not include himself as a maniac! In v. 18 he speaks of his knowledge of various languages. In v. 19 he says that he would rather speak 5 understandable words than 10,000 which were not understood. Paul would have someone translate his words if it were necessary. This is the orderly procedure of communicating a message. He refers to the same thing exactly in 1 Cor 14: 34-38. The word ‘laleo’ in 1 Cor 14:34 must mean to speak in many languages together, which brings confusion, instead of speaking in one language which the people understood either directly or by translation, or speaking in an unknown tongue which the people could not understand. It cannot mean to speak with understanding and being understood.

[@JoesWebPresence]

. . . (continued.) One cannot take Paul’s indirect imperative in 1 Cor 14:34 ‘Let your women keep silence in the churches,’ as absolute. It must be taken in conjunction with what follows: ‘for it is not permitted for them to speak.’ The word ‘speak’ as we explained is ‘lalein’ which should be taken to mean ‘uttering sounds which are incoherent and which are not understood by others.’ Paul says that instead of having anything like that, it is better to have silence. Paul uses the same word for ‘keeping silence’ in v. 28 when a man speaks in an unknown tongue without an interpreter. Also the same imperative sigato, ‘let him keep silent,’ is used in v. 30, ‘if anything be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.’ Actually that phrase, ‘let him hold his peace’ is the same word meaning ‘let him keep silent.’ That is a man, not a woman. What Paul is saying is that only one must speak at a time. If two speak at once there will be confusion. That ‘let him keep silent’ is, therefore qualified even as the sigatosan of v. 34 in the case of the woman. The verb sigao (4601) is used by Homer only in the imperative with the meaning of ‘hush, be still’ (Liddell and Scott’s Greek lexicon.) The imperatives here indicate linear action, i.e., it is not something that has a continuous effect but the action can be thought of as a line of line of dots. Every time one of these three actions appear on the scene during a worship service, the person should hush, be it a man or a woman. In the first two instances it concerns men and in the last women: (1) if a man speaks in an unknown language without anyone interpreting into a language the that others can understand; (2) if a man speaks and somebody else gets up to speak, and (3) if a woman begins to act like Delphic priestesses speaking in an unknown tongue. Under no circumstances does the injunction of Paul in 1 Cor 14:34 indicate that women should not utter a word at any time during a church service. It is not men versus women or women versus men, but it is confusion versus order. It makes no difference who causes the confusion. It is as bad if produced by men as it is when produced by women. Furthermore, the word gunaikes (1135) in v. 34 should not be translated as ‘women’ in its generic sense, but as ‘wives.’ It is wives who should submit (hupotassomai, 5293) to their own husbands (andras, 435, v. 35.) The whole argument is not the subjection of women to men in general, but of wives to their own husbands in the family unit as ordained by God. Paul states the principle that it was the duty of the husbands to restrain their own wives from such displays. It does not state that a man should restrain the wife of another. It is a shame for any woman to bring confusion into the local church (v. 35), even as it is for any man to do so. Whenever Paul speaks of submissiveness on the part of the woman, it is always on the part of a wife to her own husband. It does not imply that a woman, simply because she is a woman, must be submissive to any man, simply because he is a man.

The modern-day church is something that would cause the first and second century Christians to feel disappointed and revolted. A church that constantly talks about being "about Jesus" and how "we follow the teachings of Paul because our Lord sent him to us" but this couldn't be further from the truth. Modern-day churches cherry pick the words of Christ and Paul while entirely ignoring or finding excuses as to why they refuse to follow their steps entirely. Everyone wants to talk about how Christ "fulfilled" (Matthew 5:17) the Law, meaning we don't have to follow it. FALSE. In the SAME BREATH Jesus also says "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets" and then says, "For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished." Has the earth and heaven passed away??? NO! False teachings are overwhelming in today's church's so that they won't make your life uncomfortable. Even Paul in Acts 25:8 states, "I have done nothing wrong against the Jewish law or against the temple or against Caesar.” Meaning Paul kept the Torah, kept the Sabbath, kept the holidays! "We are the church that follows Christ and Paul's teachings" LIES, you cherry pick the ones you want! Christ said if you love me then keep my commandments, and if you are a Trinitarian, then you believe Christ is God, meaning the TORAH IS HIS COMMANDMENTS! So what does "fulfill" mean??? It's taking about the fulfillment of the coming prophet like Moses (Deuteronomy 18:15-19)! Jesus TAUGHT the FULLNESS of the LAW, given to Israel by Moses from God! The amount of Roman and Greek influence on the church today is horrible. So many verses are taken out of context and abused, all so that we Christians can be comfortable in our sins. Gentiles must adhere to Jewish sexual purity laws and refrain from eating blood and food sacrificed to idols (Acts 15:6-21). Today's Christians are in just as much of spiritual Egypt as the Jews are. Everyone has been warned. But like Jeremiah preaching repentance for 40 years before Jerusalem and Israel fell, this too will largely fall of deaf ears, full of excuses, all so that one might continue to roll in mud like pigs all while proclaiming "It's fine! Jesus will make me clean by the end! Jump on in and enjoy this sin with me!" Fully believing that because our salvation is not found in Law but in grace means a lack of following in the footsteps of Jesus and Paul means still salvation and we can do anything we want. Turn back to God and leave the Roman, Greek, Gentile teachings behind. "Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues." Revelation 18:4.

[@WatcherNine]

One of the top 10 should have called out the papacy, which is not biblical at all. Peter was not a pope, he was an apostle. The roman catholic church as titled did not even exist before 380 a.d.. Before then it was known as "The Way" (The way of salvation through Christ). The term "Christian" started out as an insult to believers of Christ in the early days when persecution was widespread among the majority of the populations. It was adopted by Christians because it perfectly describes the followers of Christ. Priesthood is also not biblical in the new testament, the new covenant. Jesus Christ is our ONLY intercessor between man and God, (which is also Jesus, btw). Deacons and pastors can be translated in the new testament, but not 'priest'. Jesus is THE priest of his church, and there is no pope, but there are leaders in the church. Each assembly was local before they came up with papacy as part of the roman decree. The reason the romans did this was to control the growing power of Christianity as well as bring under control the pagan sects that were spread across the known world. That's when catholicism went off the rails from the apostolic age into the patristic age, when in order to bring the pagans into the fold and part of the number of the church, pagan ritual and idolatry were allowed into "Catholicism". It would benefit everyone to learn the real history of Christianity, but start with reading the bible and expand from there. Then you will know Christ AND what people have done rightly and wrongly in his name.

The Roman Catholic Church decreed that priests should not marry because married priests left their savings to their widow. The Church wanted that money for itself. It's clear from the Bible that celibacy is not for everyone. It was recommended but not mandatory. Thus the Church began to take those men into the priesthood who were less attracted to women than average. Their ability to understand normal people was diminished, and abnormal relationships resulted.

Sabbath is for everyone, just as Jesus said: “The Sabbath was made for man.” Mark 2:27, 28. Jesus did not say, “The Sabbath was made for the Jews, but a time is coming when the day will change to Sunday…” No. What Jesus said was: “The Sabbath was made for man (i.e. everyone!)” See also Isaiah 56:6, 7, which says that non Jews (Gentiles) would accept the Sabbath and keep it holy. Jesus said, “The Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath.” Matthew 12:8. There is no discussion in the New Testament about changing the day of rest to Sunday. Acts 20:7 mentions a gathering of the apostles on Saturday night (which Biblically = “the first day of the week”, since days start and end at sunset according to Scripture) and Paul preached until midnight. The next morning (still the first day of the week, Sunday morning), Paul travelled a great distance. This proves that the early Christians kept the Sabbath. If Sunday had become a holy day, Paul would have rested on that day. However, Paul did not rest on the first day of the week. He had a final evening meeting with the believers until midnight (on Saturday) and subsequently travelled a great distance on Sunday. The text does not indicate a change in the day of the rest. The Good News Translation renders Acts 20:7 as follows: “On Saturday evening we gathered together for the fellowship meal. Paul spoke to the people and kept on speaking until midnight, since he was going to leave the next day.” The first Sunday Law was in 321 A.D. by the Roman Emperor Constantine, who merged Christianity and paganism together under a new religion for the Roman Church. However, Sabbath has always been the Sabbath. Read the book “The Great Controversy” by Ellen G. White to learn more.

#3 you are correct. Some churches have chosen pieces and part of the letters of The apostles as commandments. They were letters sent from one person to a church to address specific situations in THAT church. They weren’t commandment for today. Paul also said in one of his letters to kiss each other with a Holy kiss, I don’t see that in any churches today. Women can be deacons and teach. If that isn’t true then all of it is suspect. I’m sure in one church a woman was disruptive and Paul said she should be silent, doesn’t make it a commandment. God made man and woman as his image to represent him. God didn’t make women subordinate. He made them different than men.

[@trajectoryunown]

Every believer belongs to the church. Jesus justifies the ungodly, and He will not forsake His church. We can't do that ourselves regardless of whatever status or authority we might have. So regardless of traditions or teachings, so long as they don't contradict Scripture then there's no real cause for rebuke or correction. (I haven't actually witnessed this yet. Every supposed practice or belief that is subject to debate can be justified Biblically in every instance that I've seen... That should tell you something.) For example: If one congregation's tradition holds that the body and blood of Christ are physically transmuted into His flesh and blood, yet another views this as a symbolic gesture, I fail to see how either view contradicts Scripture, except in the fact that _both_ subject Scripture to interpretation, which is expressly prohibited. So then should we condemn them both for "adding to the Bible"? Should we rebuke them both for "interpreting matters of Scripture", and just tell them "it says what it says, and that's what it means. Don't even think about it, just accept it? Does not the entirety of Scripture, even the totality of creation itself in every regard demonstrate God's immaculate consistency in matters of reason? Should we reject our innate, God-given drive for reason in exchange for blind faith which is indefensible and useless? God forbid it. I believe that instead we ought to act in a manner befitting believers by first acknowledging our own sin, refusing to render judgement against our brothers and sisters in Christ, but instead showing mercy by seeking to understand how both perspective are born from the desire to become closer to God by thoroughly examining His work so that they can understand both it and Him more wholly? Even though personally, I quite firmly believe Catholics are blatantly wrong in this teaching, and I know that the truth of the matter can be readily demonstrated with nothing more than a microscope, I can only find a theoretical cause to judge them because the _might_ be rejecting the truth... But who hasn't done that before? I know I have. Probably will in the future too. I'm not perfect. And I certainly wouldn't want to receive a harsh judgement and be ridiculed because I _might have_ made one little mistake repeatedly throughout my life, so I can't rightly judge others by that measure. I can testify to the fact that *every* time I tried throwing stones at these glass houses, the Lord promptly returned it to sender, delivering with it a _hard lesson_ in how He defends and justifies His church... Me included! 😄I sought to rebuke the teachings of His church and offer it correction. He rebuked _me_ and offered correction; thereby justifying His _whole_ church. How awesome is that!? And every time this happened He provided me with one of two things, sometimes both: 1) He allowed me to consider the matter for myself, granting me the initial insight that I tested and found to be wholly consistent, logically sound, and personally relatable. 2) He directed me to specific passages from Scripture that proved to justify all of the traditions and beliefs I believed myself to have found fault with. Now, I love that the Lord sets me right when I am wrong, but I've lost too many of these arguments to continue trying to wage war with the church, especially long-standing traditions. First remove the plank from your own eye. My advice is the same: You'd better be good and sure you're un-cuttable before trying to swing that sword of faith because it can and will be turned against you if you're not innocent, and it will happen at once without warning. No matter how much knowledge I have or how wise I become, regardless of how confident _I_ am that _myself_ and _those who agree with me_ all of a sudden hold a monopoly on truth, the Lord *always* defends His church. Frankly, I don't want to keep trying to outsmart God. It was fun while it lasted, a most excellent learning experience to be sure, but it was always bittersweet in the end. Like a friendly rivalry between a student and teacher... But I don't want to have to keep learning that way if at all possible. Believe it or not, I actually _like_ winning. 😂 I think we should all just chill, step back, and take a moment to just appreciate the fact that God's kingdom is home to such an myriad of unique cultures, teachings, and traditions. While certain subjects _could be_ made into causes for division, it would serve us well to first remember that God is One and the church is in Christ, and in the Holy One there is no division. The church, just like a human body has various unique parts, each with their own purposes, capabilities, and sensitivities. We'd do well to respect that. Also remember that God allows us to choose between judgement and forgiveness, which in this case is the choice between deciding whether these different perspectives are divisive contradictions or an unproblematic paradox wherein all perspectives of the Truth are equally valid, not because they've been justified by human reason but because HE justifies them. (Just a reminder that even the apostles didn't immediately recognize Jesus in the flesh after His resurrection, and it didn't seem to bother Him. If Jesus could withstand death followed up by an outright lack of recognition by his long-time friends, how much less significant ought these obscure peripheral details be to us? Pick one and roll with it, if you even care to. No harm no fowl. ) This kind of _apparent_ "diversity" is one of the things that makes the Christian faith so unique. We don't have to adhere to rigid dogma. We aren't forced to value tradition _as if_ it were the word of God, which is unfortunately a trap that many of our Jewish brothers fall into. Every nation has its own cultural systems in place, and you'll find they are ever so often compatible with Biblical teachings if you really care to seek out how. There are a lot of examples in the Bible of direction being given to early church leaders _specifically_ in reference to a local target audience. Even Jesus spoke in such a way at times, addressing specific cities and their individual nuances in a worldly sense, while at the same time imparting the all-encompassing truth of the kingdom of God. His Word is flawless, and His mercy is evident even in His rebukes. As long as we agree that Jesus is the Son of God, He is the Word made flesh, He died for our sins, He raised from the dead on the 3rd day, He ascended to Heaven, He holds authority to judge all of creation, and He offers forgiveness and eternal life if only we believe in him... As long as we agree on those key points, I think anything else can be handled as a reduced priority, something for casual yet purposeful conversation. Jesus is the head of the Church, and faith is an intimately personal joint work between the believer and Christ. While others might hold some degree of influence, it would be among the worst of offenses to cause a believer to stumble. If their faith hinges on a mistaken belief, and we attack that mistake like dogs without proper discernment and mercy, then we might become responsible for their their falling away. We can't always trust ourselves to know or do what's right, admirable goal though that might be, but we can always trust Jesus to lead his flock and provide all good things at the perfect time.

While you consider Pastor, also note that the term in the NT NEVER refers to what we call a pastor, rather it refers to a literal shepherd of the sheep or Christ himself. The plural of pastor (not the singular) occurs one time as a spiritual gift in Ephesians 4, which may be translated "pastors-and-teachers" or pastor-teachers. But in 1 Peter 5 the corresponding verb "to pastor" occurs as something that bishops=elders should do.
