    Men and women: Roles and rewards conclusion

    God is a rewarder of those who do good and we are commanded to believe this ( Heb. 11:6). The same can be said about the reward of evildoers ( Matthew 6:2 is an example but not the best of how the Pharisees have their reward now and that assumes they suffer eternal loss later; for some reason I can't find better cross reference but it's there somewhere).

    In any event there is no mutually exclusive indicator with any of the heavenly authority or rewards Christ promises even though women aren't specifically mentioned. Certainly the Canaanite women in Matthew 15:21-28 had great faith and was only one of 2 Christ noted had this who asked for a healing in scripture. So clearly women can have great faith. It is unclear exactly HOW we will fulfill our roles in the Millennium and beyond ruling over cities; for example or even in heavenly places for eternity.

    Whether women and men will do similar or somewhat different things isn't clear. We see Rahab also (even with her "vocation" attached to her name) as one of the "heroes of the faith" in Heb. 11. We are certainly an interesting group of "misfits" that God chooses for His purposes.

    Whatever the future holds; we as Paul can be "content" in any and all situations. ( Philippians 4:12). God knows what He is doing; thankfully and saves us from ourselves and there will be no more contention and strife in the Kingdom. Hopefully we can all learn to get along now in the meantime..

    Agape; Rich P.

    So true, Richard. God does know what He is doing and that it is the wisest and best for all things considered.

    The life to come will be so glorious, I don't even think we can imagine what it is like and come remotely close. But I believe that it will be completely satisfying and joyous. We will find contentment that lasts and needs no adjustments. Can't wait!

    You are always my biggest fan; as it were. Listen; I am SUPPOSED to head up a study on prophecy Jan 9; but insisted that there would be prayer first and some general suggestions as to a few topics to discuss. I am not planning to go ahead without it; the original plan about 9 months ago for the same thing fell through. I have a feeling it will again. What is important to me is that what I say is "efifying". I am also praying that a real move of God transpires; there seems to be a lot of lukewarmness about.

    The Lord has given me some insight; and I would even say visions of the future; some of which are from when I first was saved in the 1980s. I am not gifted in teaching so appreciate prayer. Also for the possibility of a study in a local nursing home this month; I hope to hear from the director again of volunteer services if it is His will; if not then no. Finally; I could put all this on prayer but I have had a fairly honest talk with my family about finding a place nearby and I am primarily looking at leads in my local church. My family is unsaved; and they have certain need for my help; although there is no need yet for 24 hour care. I am praying my mom will get help once my dad's mind or health deteriorates enough; she is rather intransagent now. Thankfully I talked to my dad first then my mom today and am transparent about what I'm doing. God has shown me favor on my pt job as I need to take a couple personal days and maybe another partial to take my parents to med appts. I am praying if a good service for driving is available He will open up another avenue; for now I think I can work things out with my employer as I would like to continue to work.

    I have taken time off from hobbies and such in December (coin collecting). This has given me max time for this site. I plan to continue for now; until I run out of ideas or get too busy with work or other ministries. Googling verses has helped me learn where sriptures are that I am familiar with.
