Bible Discussion Thread

Todays new translations talk of Elders not Bishops. Is there a difference? Lots of discussion around that woman should not hold positions of Bishops, Elder and or Deacons. Cansomeone help me here with biblical insight into this matter.

Hi Cameron Woman can Teach Children and other Woman Tit4:3-5 also share God's Truth with Men Deb4 to 5 Correct error with His Truth but we are not to be in Authority over Men in Church a3nd Speak meaning Teach or Preach 1Cor14:34-37 -61Tim2:11-12 Husbands have Authority in Marriage and they are to Love us as Christ Loves His Church a Woman who feels greatly Loved will have no problem submitting.

Cameron,-- Bishop, Elder, and Presbyter, are all of the same office, essentially spiritual director overseer .Elder in OT were the eldest so called leaders. NT- 1Tim 3:1-- 1Pet 2:25- Elders Gen50:7, Jos 24:1. Women were used by God, Joe 3:28. Hope this answered your question. I also learned from this. God bless you.

I ran out of space Ruben I wanted to add that Strongs etc are helpful but we need God's Wisdom Prov 4:7 were not Born with it and without it we will not Understand His Truth or recognize error. Strongs abriviate Timothy as Ti but this could also be Titus so I added an m they don't always Highlite Scripture here or not fully God doesn't make Mistakes and He tells us to be Perfect as He is - Mt5:4.

Ruben what is Joe3:28 it shows not found I understand why you condense we don't always have enough space to explain whats needed I use Strongs to abreviate as others do too and to find where the Scripture is when answers are given to me I don't hear a voice audibly but I do in my Heart but with being Dyslexic it means for me Numbers are hard to memorise even if I remember the Book Blessings-Annie.

Maybe he meant Joel and not .

Thank you Stanjett for seeking to help, I'm sorry for the delay in replying I'm still having problems Commenting it may be just Tech I hope so There is no Joel 3:28 but Joel 2:28 does Confirm what Ruben shared and there is a New Testerment reminder of this Prophecy in Acts 2:17 As we know The Old Testerment will Confirm when needed the New and the New the Old.Thanks again and God Bless you- Annie.

Anne, You got me on that one. I have searched all my research and I have no idea where I came up with that. Joe 3:28 . It has to be a typo but I can't correct it in any way so please forgive me-God also forgive me-. I am going to check every book for a 3:28 vs and if I find it I will give you the correct book So very sorry--I'm living proof that only God is perfect.

Stanjett thought your referance Ruben may be Joel it was 2:28 and in Acts2:17 Yes Woman are Precious to God He said it's not good for Man to be alone we are your Helpmates but Wow without Men's God given Leadership we would be in a Mess and where would the Rib have come from at Creation and we would have no one to Help.Thank you Lord for your Godly Men we Need Them 100 BlessThem Greatly- Annie.

Anne, Stanjette bless his soul was right. "daughters will prophesy". Women are given the right to preach, teach, and plant seeds for children of God's creation to turn to Him in love, trust, and hope for a House in Eternity.

True Ruben Woman can Teach Children and Woman Tit4:3-5 and share God's Truth with Men or Correct error with Scripture but we are not to be in Authority over Men in Church and Speak meaning Teach or Preach1Cor14:34-37 -61Tim2:11-12 Husbands have Authority in Marriage Col3:18-19 if asked to do something wrong we don't Our Husbands are to Love us as Christ Loves His Church Eph5:22-28 - Annie.
