You only share with Women? Cant Be from Jesus Then. Matthew 10:27

You missed the whole scenario. I teach men also, but one particular message I only share with women as it applies to them. Men of a certain ilk could not believe it and it would be like casting pearls before swine.

Then there is Galatians 3:28...

I believe that women are allowed to teach other women and it is even allowable for them to teach men if they have a covering; a man watching over them while they teach; who can correct them in the case that they are deceived about something.

For it is written,

1Ti 2:13, For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
1Ti 2:14, And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

the harsher judgment is here

James 3:1

and being disobedient to Gods commands below:

commanded not to teach as per Titus 2 and in 1 Timothy 2 where they are forbidden to teach and to remain silent in the church in 1 Corinthians 14:34.

hope this helps !!!

That is why I always go to the Source, and only teach what He gives me. Believe me I have the fear of the Lord in me, and have gone to Him in tears over being a woman teacher not wanting to sin, and He assured me I can teach both men and women, and the Truth of the verses in Corinthians and Timothy. Because of men like you and others of your kind, I only share what He told me to other women, especially those teachers who've been attacked by wolves in sheep's clothing as I have been in the past.

This was a personal Rhema to me. I'll share part of it.

For your Maker is your husband,
The Lord of hosts is His name;
And your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel;
He is called the God of the whole earth.
6 For the Lord has called you
Like a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit,
Like a youthful wife when you were refused,”
Says your God.

No that is talking about prevenient grace (such as is spoken of in Matthew 5:45).

We have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand (Romans 5:2).
No its not, no such thing as prevenient grace, thats a man made doctrine !

The already Justified by the Blood of Christ, and under Grace, will in due time be given Faith to access into the Grace they are already blessed with ! Until they are given Faith, they dont know they are Justified by Grace Rom 3 24
Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

Why you concerned about titles of men ? What think ye of the scripture i posted ? calvin had nothing to do with that !

I agree with the scripture. What I'm concerned about is your interpretation. It is the version of Calvinism.

"The already Justified by the Blood of Christ, and under Grace, will in due time be given Faith to access into the Grace they are already blessed with ! Until they are given Faith, they dont know they are Justified by Grace"

Nope it's in the word (Matthew 5:45).
Thats all in your imagination. There is no such thing as prevenient grace, men made it up. Matt 5 45 says nothing about grace, let alone the false concept of prevenient grace. Rain and sunshine isn't Gods Grace !

Oh yes it is.

We all deserve hell and then the lake of fire.

Rain and sunshine is getting what we don't deserve.

No it doesn't. Grace has nothing to do with rain and sunshine still. Yes all deserve hell, but rain and sunshine is not the remedy for that ! You are cheapening Grace !

'Dead in sins' simply means no means of salvation, and that the future for such people, only holds imminent and permanent death. But, being exposed to the universal Gospel (all people's are eligible for salvation), hope has been restored and thus, their spirits (morale) have been made alive to act towards purity and hope.
No, the Bible means what it says and you must be born again. Being exposed to the gospel does nothing but increase culpability, receiving the gospel as true and Jesus as Lord is everything.
One of the most hated doctrines of the scripture is the truth that man by nature is dead spiritually, dead in trespasses and sins. This truth is derived from the fact that Paul when writing to the Ephesians believers, he noted their natural state as being as follows: Eph 2:1,5


And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;


even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved)

And he being consistent in his teachings wrote to Christians in Colosse Col 2 13

And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

This means that until one is quickened, or made alive spiritually, they can have no spiritual advancement towards God. Their, heart, mind , will, and affections are all under the power of sin, dead in sin. Everything we do as it pertains to spiritual things, is sin !

Prov 15 8

The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord: but the prayer of the upright is his delight.

Prov 21 4

An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.

A person before they can come to God aright, in faith and repentance, they must first be spiritually raised from the dead ! That can also be called quickened, made alive, to call upon the Name of the Lord. Ps 80 18

So will not we go back from thee:
quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.

Hence they which do Call upon the Name of the Lord Rom 10 13

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Give evidence that they have been previously quickened from the dead in sin !
Congratulations on rediscovering for yourself one of the most fundamental doctrines in scripture. People hate it because it makes them powerless to accomplish their own salvation and leaves election in God's hands. It nullifies religious works for self righteousness and destroys the artificial separation between priesthood and laity.
Don't expect anything but contradiction from the worldly and the religious. Self righteousness has nothing to stand on but works and if those works are dead and meaningless, so is all the time spent trying to earn God's favor through them. A correct understanding only earns you a cross to carry, but His yoke is easy and His burden light.

No it doesn't.

I suppose that we will have to agree to disagree.

You continue to believe in a god who arbitrarily chooses out certain people to burn forever in burning sulfur and brimstone; and I will believe in the God who gives man a choice in the matter of whether he will receive or reject the salvation that is offered by Him.

I thinking about Calvinism, I have considered that, based on 1 Corinthians 13:8 and Revelation 19:6, the doctrine of Irresistible Grace is very likely true.

If it is true, then there are two options:

1) Limited Atonement

2) Universalism

Limited Atonement isn't true because Jesus died for the sins of the whole world (1 John 2:2) and gave Himself as a ransom for all (1 Timothy 2:6)

Universalism isn't true because there is a very real hell that people go to (Matthew 13:41-42, Matthew 13:49-50, Matthew 25:46).

So, in asking my wife what she thought of these things, she told me (and I agree) that the only solution is that God gives everyone a choice in the matter as to whether they will receive or reject the salvation that Christ offers.

What then of Irresistible Grace?

The answer is that love never fails to give every man a choice in the matter...and that God, in his Omnipotence, does not force anyone to believe in or follow Him but gives everyone a choice.

Just my two cents.
