    You are so right Rick. We minister directly to those who God brings into our sphere of life, meet them where they are, and encourage and help them believe and grow in Jesus.

    I have thought about this, too. Is it a custom of the times, like earing a head scarf? Or is it a command for all time. I have heard many different opinions on this. For me, I choose to support this principle that women are to refrain from being in leadership over men. I also, know that there may be exceptional situations where a woman may mentor a man (such those women who mentored Apollos, since they had more complete knowledge of the gospel than he did).

    For me, I like to consider the passage where woman are to be taught by their husbands. I have read that in those times, women and men were separated in the congregation, so if a woman had a question or comment it would have been out of order for her to speak up over the men. She would wait until she was home with her husband to discuss a matter further. I do support this principle, however it does put a responsibility upon the husband to be well instructed and a spiritual leader in the home. Can we honestly say that this is the case in most Christian homes today? No, unfortunately. And what about single women? In Paul's time women stayed with their family until married, so the Father was the head over her. But today, many adult women are out of their parent's household and on their own. Who is their head in this situation?

    I am not one to buck up against Scripture much and I am happy to be lead and taught by men. I am also happy to be lead and taught by a woman as in a women's bible study. I have taught Sunday School for children and youth, but not adults. I have no inclination to teach men in a mixed gender group. I want to follow this Scripture even if it was just a custom for that time. The integrity of my witness is more important than seeking a position above men. But, like the women who mentored Apollo, I would be open to mentoring either sex if led to. But as a married woman I would most likely not mentor a man. I did mentor my husband in the faith before we were married. Feel free to chime in.

    I'd like prayer for my student loan debt, and my boss who has multiple active federal and state tax debt cases. He has been managing the business irresponsibly and I'm really worried about it all and am asking for God to intercede.
  • Rick - In Reply on Jeremiah 7 - 4 years ago
    Mara Because of who runs the systems of the World the Adversary we who believe will never save a country,

    individuals yes never a nation, that's why its each one win one. Jesus Christ ministered to thousands and

    only just over a hand full in the end really believed and were born again. So its not quantity its quality. Many

    are called few are chosen!

    Hi David.

    Thanks for your reply.

    I've been out of town working and away from the site for a couple of days. Sorry for such a late reply.

    God bless.
  • Rick - In Reply on 1 Timothy 2 - 4 years ago
    Dusty Here's a simple way to view it, next to great men of God there are great women to be a help meet

    I.E. to help pray teach instruct and preach within the structure that God set up. There are instances in he

    old testament where women so to speak took a stand. In the church of God in Timothy the order is men ordained are

    encouraged to lead as pastors and bishops the statement with women in subjection strictly depends on the

    men walking according to Ephesians 5:25-29. So keep this in mind the conditions are always it is written.

    In the old testament there were women prophets and great women of believing like the shunammites

    women who's child was raised from the dead. There are other examples.

  • GiGi again - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Alex, again some of what you state here is correct, but some of it is not. I do not believe that Jesus is the Father of the Holy Spirit. The only Son eternally begotten of God is Jesus. The Word never calls the Holy Spirit the Son of the Son of God nor the grandson of the Father.

    When you talk about "what is born of the Spirit is spirit, it is not talking about the Spirit birthing Himself. It is speaking of the new spiritual nature we receive at conversion from God. It is in this new nature that the Spirit dwells in us. This new nature is not divine nor the Person of the Holy Spirit. It is as you said, "the temple of the Holy Spirit" The divine Person of the Holy Spirit cannot dwell within a sinful nature, but can dwell in our new holy spiritual nature.

    There is a difference between what I am saying and what you continue to speak about. Your view exalts and deifies believers; my view exalts God and acknowledge that through Christ we have a new holy nature in which God can dwell.
  • David - In Reply on Jeremiah 7 - 4 years ago
    Hi Mara Jeremiah was called out by God to bring his adopted children back to Him that chose to go and Worship

    other gods in defiance of His Word. This country is headed unfortunately in the same direction, even so called

    churches and leaders are condoning lifestyles that are in absolute defiance of what the True God says not to be

    partakers of. When the wicked rule the people perish. You cannot compromise on the word without paying the

    consequences whether your an individual or nation. Jeremiah 2:13 Notice Godis talking to His people they have

    Him the fountain of Living waters how because they have made their own beliefs and exalted them above IT IS

    WRITTEN. We are at the point of Joshua 24:14-27 and christians need to get Honest in their actions and

    lifestyles or Gods Hands are tied. God is no respecter of persons but conditions, He always backs up His Word

    when carried out His Way. We need to pray for people to stop elevating vain imaginations above THE TRUTH

    Romans 1.
  • GiGi - In Reply on Jeremiah 7 - 4 years ago
    Mara, I read the whole passage of Jeremiah 7: It is God speaking through Jeremiah about the unfaithfulness and false affections of Judah towards God. The Jews broke God's commandments without concern and came into the house of worship thinking that they could stand before God and receive approval and blessing from Him, as if He did not see their problematic sinful actions.

    I don't think that this is necessarily saying we are not to pray or make intercession for nations, governments, or people in this age. I think, because we have the indwelling Holy Spirit, we will be led by Him to pray and intercede. We, believers, have the commands of Paul to pray often for everything in our pervue.
  • GiGi - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Star, I am glad things are getting done for you by the Lord's doing! Yes, aloe vera gel is soothing and healing. It should help. The real concern is how deep the burns have gone into the skin layers and the risk of infection. If you have triple antibiotic cream or a prescriptio9n like bactroban, that can be applied a few times a day. Can she call an on--call nurse to see what she would advise? Maybe she could even arrange a video chat with a doctor who can view the burn and advise or prescribe the best medicine. Does she have medical insurance she can access to see or video chat with a doctor? I hope the burns are not a large area. I will continue to pray for her. Keep me posted. I am checking this site daily, so if you post i will pick up your post. God Bless You and your daughter, and kitty, too.
  • Dusty Rollins on 1 Timothy 2 - 4 years ago
    Wasn't 1st Tim. 2:12 more of a cultural issue. We see in acts women Paul talking about teaching and great workers in Christ.

    Also, isn't "preaching" different from teaching? They aren't in rule over men but if truly called by God, doing what she is called to do.

    Sorry, lol, this leads to this. If, the verse is to be held above cultural values, how do we justify women in Sunday school teachers?

    I see this used by some pastors and husband's using this verse to pit women "in their place!". I'm not a feminist or supporting an anti church organization. I'm doing an independent study and getting different views. Be blessed, safe and Merry Christmas!

    Vs 16? Should I take this vs as a parable? When I read this, I think about my own nation , and how our country is very much into immoral, ungodly.unrepentive, greedy, power hungry some murderous individuals, some even mock our lord proudly.when I look around its hard to find a lot of goodness.shoukd I refrain from praying for my godless seeming nation ?is there a line a nation can cross of horribleness before God is done? I know that God is coming with his wrath to judge tge tribes( jacobs troubles) and I know god loves the jews and jus wants them to walk righteously to obey and to put him first.i know he punishes to correct.how should I interpret this verse?

    Aimless and Lost to purpose and victory in Christ Jesus

    i wrote a poem when 12 of ahorse rider in a storm

    "The wind does whip around me, My face is cold and chapped, I ride aimlessly along a never ending track.....

    From a home of unsaved my mum had made a "pact with God

    "If i can have children I promise to give them to you"

    She did teach us to pray the Lords prayer but never knew Jesus.

    My older sisters life changed first she went from ignoring me to showing love She led me to christ when i was 13 years old.

    i ended up going to christian fellowship at school group and an anglican church, then working at a christian bookshop, and attending a christian camp where i met my first husband who said he was a christian.

    Unfortunately this was shown to be untrue and as my father was virtually an alcoholic abusive to my mother

    I didnt have any good male role models.I ended up in a domestic abuse situation much worse than my mothers and i cried out to the Lord for years who delivered me in a way i didnt ask for but it was the only way.I was diagnosed with a rare slow growing but often very deadly catilage tumour in my sacroliac joint.

    Three months aftersurgery (13 hours in 1999) where the "margins "were not cleared by my top neuro surgeon i had an audible voice in the dark. It referred to the paralytic in the bible and his forgiven sins leading to healing.

    V unexpected and no sign at all that of any cancer from then on...so smazing healing !!Hallelujah!!!!

    i got back on my quarterhorse !

    i studied as an allied health professional/went to art college to study to teach art but couldnt paint under the abusive conditions. I did develope sone some sandart videos but i was broken.

    My manic depressed husband left after 18 years of persecution and breaking the vows.

    I had not been growing as a christian due to my spiritual drought and the trauma but a friend lead me to KJV 1611 and back to trust in Christ!!

    I am now at a KJV church and i love so much biblestudy!!!

    G G Try to understand that Jesus always existed but he had to make his Debut in humanity via the seed which was the living word sown in the womb of Mary, As Jesus was the Word made flesh and blood.

    Likewise the H.G. always existed but he has to make his debut in humanity via that good seed of Jesus Which is that

    Seed of Promise . Every Godly seed is gonna get a body, Our body, As our bodies are the Temple OF THE H.G. Thats

    y Jesus has to be glorified that we might all be given the H.G. VIA THAT GOOD SEED......The contents of the book the words of life. Thus Jesus is truly the father of the H.G. SIMPLY B/C THE H.G. HAS TO BE BORN IN US VIA HIS SEED ....YOUR BODIES ARE THE TEMPLE OF THE H.G.

    When Jesus said b/f Abraham was i am means he always existed in the SPIRIT....

    LIKEWISE THE H.G. ALWAYS EXISTED. But he has to make his debut in humanity via the seed of Jesus.

    Thats y Jesus said that which is born of the spirit is spirit thats the H.G....The child of PROMISE...That is Gona be born in us via his seed the living word.....My lil Children of whom i travail in birth tii Christ is formed in you. Gal 4 : 19 KJV

    Thats y i keep telling ya that the Godhead is FATHER SON AND GRANSON JUST LIKE ABRAHAM ISSAC AND JACOB.....

    and Jesse David and Solomon....And Jesus tells us i am the root and the offspring of DAVID ...Father Son and Granson.

    E of the H.G.

    Gigi, HALLELUJAH! Thank you for your wonderful prayer. The CREATOR is so very good! We we're able to rent an apartment until the house is fixed. We received a blessing in the firm if a landlord. My daughter chose Not to go see a Dr. However, thus morning she called me. She had googled about how to treat burns ( i still know she needs to see a doctor.) Through her search she did find out what she was doing wrong and what she should use. I had the exact amount of money that I was able to get the products, plus I was able to buy her an aloe vera plant that they said was the best thing for them. So yes, we received quit a few blessings through this difficult time. Again, I'd like to thank you so much for your prayers. May you be blessed to the fullest! Thank you

  • The Godhead Scriptures - In Reply - 4 years ago
    The Scriptures about the Godhead. Sometimes called "Let Us..." in some passages. These scriptures are evidence of all 3 persons of the Godhead speaking to each other.

    Genesis 1:26, 3:22, 11:7

    Isaiah 6:8

    * Romans 1:20

    Colossians 2:9

    Acts 17:27-30

    1 John 5:7

    John 10:30

    "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and GODHEAD so that they are WITHOUT EXCUSE."

    Genesis 1:1

    The Father purposes

    The Word (Jesus) speaks. ( John 1:1)

    The Spirit (Holy Spirit) executes the spoken word. Action.

    All working together. Jesus came to show us the Father, as Emmanuel.

    Matthew 1:23

    Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God WITH US. [Jesus]

    {Comment} Jesus came to bring to each born again believer; the baptism and the in-dwelling of the Holy Spirit.

    [ Genesis 1:2, John 3:6, Acts 2:1-3, John 16: 7-15]

    Upon being born again, Jesus gives the Holy Spirit to us. Teach us scripture, comfort us, convict us of sin, enable us to be witnesses. Stay in the New Testament at first. Learn fully who the Son of Man is (Jesus).

    Your friend might get a better picture of what is coming to the earth, by watching this high tech kinda wild movie on what the end times will look like. It helps to read the Book of Revelation in the Bible.

    Lots of people can't get a point of reference on Revelation. It seems mystical but it isn't. It going to fit perfectly into our society.

    This movie is chopped up into about 10 videos. To see how earth ends and begins again, watch the one titled, the "Millennium."

    See it on YouTube. It's about 1:44 mins long.

    Tell friends about it too. Very little dialog, but scripture references are shown.

    (The videos put out by Lion of the Tribe of Judah; don't get it mixed up with the Revelation Station videos)
  • Amarin - In Reply - 4 years ago
    This might explain why in Matthew 4 Christ was not tempted any day earlier than the 40 days and 40 nights because God is in control of all things. If Christ had been tempted earlier it would not clearly point to The Day of Atonement as a likely Day for the Return of Jesus Christ with Him defeating all of the evil of this world by obeying God's Words.

    Joel 2 describes the blowing of Trumpets on the Day that Christ returns on His Second Coming.

    Another ancient tradition is that Moses fasted for 40 days and 40 nights ( Exodus 34:28) before receiving God's Commandments at Mount Sinai. The tradition states Moses received the Commandments on the Day of Atonement. The blowing of trumpets in Exodus 19 and 20 is associated with at Mount Sinai at that time.

    So Christ was fasting during the same period as Moses, and Christ also stood with the Statutes, Laws, and Commandments of God on The Day of Atonement.

    Here are some possible ways the 7 Feasts might point to the Life of Christ:

    Spring Feasts (Fulfilled by Christ):

    1.Passover, Exodus 12:1-14 (Death of Christ)

    2.Feast of Unleavened Bread, Leviticus 23:6 (Christ was without any sin)

    3.Feast of FirstFruits, 23:10; Leviticus 23:9-14 (Resurrection of Christ)

    Fall Feasts (To Be Fulfilled by Christ in the future):

    4.Feast of Weeks / Pentecost, Leviticus 23: 16-21 (Holy Spirit indwelling in believers of Christ)

    5.Feast of Trumpets, Leviticus 23:23-25 [Rapture of believers of Christ; Second Exodus of 12 Tribes of Israel ( Jeremiah 31:7-11)]

    6.Day of Atonement, Leviticus 23: 26-32 (The Second Coming of Christ)

    7.Feast of Tabernacles, Leviticus 23:39-43 (Christ ruling in His New Kingdom for 1,000 years)

    The 7 Feasts of the Lord Point to The Life of Jesus Christ

    Before answering your question, some background information is needed about the 7 Feasts of the Lord, and the Season of Repentance.

    There are the 7 Feasts of the Lord in the Bible. Most Christians do not observe them. The 7 Feasts of the Lord are listed below. A study of these Feasts reveals that they point to the Life and The Return of Jesus Christ. Please research this very interesting topic.

    The 7 Feasts are one of the many ways that Christ is in the Old Testament.

    Some say that ancient Jews observed a traditional 40 day period called Season of Repentance. Christ would have known about this tradition just as He knew about the tradition of Feast of Dedication ( John 10:22-23).

    This Season of Repentance begins on the first day of the 6th Month, and ends on The Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur in Hebrew) which is (the 10th day of the 7th month), a total of 40 days. Some modern congregations appropriately blow the shofar, a type of trumpet made from the horn of a specific animal, from this first day until the 40th day, The Day of Atonement.

    Leviticus 16:8-34 describes the Day of Atonement as a day of fasting and self-denial. These verses describe that on The Day of Atonement the ancient High Priest made a sacrifice for the people of Israel and then a scapegoat was sent into the wilderness.

    So the 40 day Season of Repentance might have been the time when Jesus was in the wilderness. Jesus was tempted on the 40th Day (Day of Atonement). On The Day of Atonement, Christ defeated the evil attempts against Him. Christ did this by steadfastly obeying the Word of God.

    This might explain why in Matthew 4 Christ was not tempted any day earlier than the 40 days and 40 nights because God is in control of all things. If Christ had been tempted earlier it would not clearly point to The Day of Atonement as a likely Day for the Return of Jesus Christ with Him defeating all of the evil of this world by obeying God's Words.

    I think if you go on YouTube and watch a video of a preacher I once met. You'll understand better. You can't win this fight alone. You need all of heaven on your side. That means quieting yourself and give the fight to your Father in Heaven. Your anger attracts evil spirits. We have to cling to the Lord in these times.

    Don't give your power to the evil spirits who feed on anger. Satan's names are CHAOS AND DESTRUCTION; murder, envy, memories.

    God knows the Day of a persons death. It's scripture. No matter how much we want them to hang on, their time here is over. I'm not lying when I say that when my Dad was dying I would not let him go. He was drowning on food in his lungs. He had Alzheimer's. A spirit came into the room and said: LEAVE NOW! I'm taking him now! I left for 5 mins and when I returned, Dad was gone, but his face was relaxed and glowing; like joy. I knew he was in heaven now, but I still missed him sorely !

    Her terror was greater than your love to keep her. Realize she is with her Lord.

    Your children still need a quieted mother, because they probably feel they will lose you. Open your bleeding heart and let Jesus love you to wellness.

    We will see them again. Right after you see the Lord, you'll see your loved one waiting to see you.

    "The Authority of the Believer, with Charles Capps." He teaches us how Satan came to destroy our lives; and his evil spirits. He shows us how to get them out of our lives. All that anger gives them permission to make you feel worse. Don't turn away from Jesus's love and care of you.

    I must've cried an ocean of tears, but they washed away the pain. I wore Dads old flannel shirts for a while; then I gave them to my brother because he was hurting too.

    There is great peace that comes_later. Give the hurt to God. He will carry you for a while, until strength returns.

    Much love and prayers for your loss. Mishael

    Alex I agree tat we are reborn by the Word of God (the good seed) and the Holy Spirit (with His power to regenerate). But I disagree strongly your notion that the Holy spirit is born in us. Again, I say, He is not replicated, Jesus is not replicated, and the Father is not replicated. The Scriptures are clear that God has stated that there is not other god but Himself and there will be no other god at any later date. Your statements about us becoming gods is blasphemous. I do not wish to speak further on this subject because you have repeatedly posted about this and others beside myself have strongly posted that they disagree and why, like I have. I think enough has been said. Neither I will be convinced by you, nor you, by what I say. So to go further is just running around the same circle and unfruitful.
