Bible Discussion Thread

Reference Corinthians 11 how should we fit what is said here about women, which looks very much like the position expressed in the Koran, into todays world and equality of sexes?

Also, in my reading I find constant reference to the Law of Moses a law that is 4000 or 5000 years old and Jewish?

Regards Roy

My thought is that Moses wrote the first 5 books of the Bible. They were written in Hebrew.

Abraham lived before Moses. I would think that when Ishmael descendants settled in the lands that God deeded to them.

Israel's boundaries were recorded in the scriptures and deeded to them through a covenant God performed with Abraham (and his legal wife Sarah); cutting the covenant.

The deed is still legal in Gods eyes. The fact that Israel gives land for peace; will be the issue of the end of time wars fought. Just because 5-6000 years have passed by, doesn't mean God has forgotten the original Covenant boundaries. People change. Not the Covenant.

I'm always amazed at the size of Israel, compared to the other kingdoms that exist on modern maps now. Not even 10 miles wide! Anyone could jog that every day of their lives. The promise that God made to Ishmael is much greater in size. To think God has become senile is ridiculous.

It is written: there will be a final battle fought at Armageddon. Only those who choose to stand with Jesus will live with him eternally. John 3: "you must be born again" from above.

Dear Roy, It was customary for Christian women to wear some sort of head covering while at church services up until the last half of the last century.
