It goes beyond the scope of that text to say that the older women should ONLY teach the younger women to love their husbands and children, and never to teach a male anything. Teaching regarding scriptural matters is not the exclusive task of the minister alone anyway. I'm sure you remember...

"A chosen generation" uses the Greek term "genos", meaning a people type or a race. But when Christ accused the corrupt individuals of His day, saying "You unbelieving and perverse generation!" (Matt. 17:17) the Greek word used here is "genea", meaning Christ's contemporaries of His own time...

In my understanding, OSAS stands for "Once a son, always a son". Christ once said in John 7:38-39 that when the Holy Spirit is given to a person, it produces rivers of living water coming out of their belly. The water that Christ gives becomes in that person a spring of water, springing up...

EXACTLY. You are so right on this. But did you ever consider that women also have the same reluctance to go to a male pastor to talk about things of this nature? This is not appropriate or seemly to do either. I have been in a cult-like church in the past for many years where this situation...

Anyone living in Judea who received the news of Jerusalem the city being surrounded by the Roman armies in AD 66 might not have been direct observers (optanomai) of it happening with their own eyes. However, when those in Judea received the news and became aware (eido) of the city of Jerusalem...

? Do you really believe that only males are resurrected? This is making a distinction where none exists. When scripture says something like, "and so death passed upon all men for that all have sinned", this is speaking in generalities of humankind - not only males who have sinned. (Unless...

They are the three group bodily resurrection events which God scheduled to match the three formerly-required harvest feasts of Passover, Pentecost, and the Feast of Tabernacles. Attendance required. Two of these group resurrections have already occurred at Passover in AD 33 and Pentecost day...

Well, no man or woman at all was labeled as a pastor by name in the NT. Pastoring (a verb) is the act of shepherding a flock. To pastor is to shepherd. Shepherding is not a strictly male occupation. Christ promised that whoever overcame and kept His works to the end would be given power...

This was already done once, as promised for that first-century generation. All of the dead up to that point - both just and unjust - were judged. God will do the same thing yet again in our future at a final judgment. You, of course, were not an eye-witness of those first-century times, so...

Phoebe was undoubtedly a deacon. Women were serving as such in the early church. Yet we have the instruction in 1 Tim. 3:12 for male deacons to be the husbands of one wife. Therefore, this proscription against polygamy for male deacons did not prove women could not be deacons. In the same...

Great, you have agreed that the terms of Christ's prediction for the gospel preached to all nations was fulfilled in Paul's own days. That means the particular end Christ referred to could then come to pass back then, since the terms of that prediction were fulfilled. Just as Peter and Paul...

You are dismissing Peter's own statement in 1 Peter 4:7, saying that "the end of all things is at hand" in his own days. Paul also in 1 Cor. 10:ll wrote to the believers, addressing them as those "upon whom the ends of the ages have come". There was a culmination point that was present for...

That is immaterial. Regardless of whether new national divisions of the regions of the globe have been made since AD 70, it's the same planetary regions in question. This does not negate the fact that Paul wrote that the gospel had been preached to every creature under heaven in his own days...

The timing of Christ's return which became dated to Pentecost day in AD 70 can be found in Ezekiel Daniel, and Zechariah. #1) Ezekiel 46:1-3 describes the rebuilt temple of Zerubbabel with its "gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east" The people were to worship facing the door of...

This Hebrews 9:28 verse is not a proof-text disproving a third resurrection in our future. It can't be used as such. It only teaches about a coming second time appearance of Christ for those looking for Him, which I am also saying. Christ predicted that His second coming return would occur...

Peter did not say the entire globe would be burned up. He said "the earth and the works that are therein" would be burned up and "dissolved". "EARTH" here is "tes ges", which more often than not in the NT refers specifically to the land of Israel. In the AD 66-70 period of the "Great...

You are misreading my comment. I wrote that the disciples fled Jerusalem and Judea in OCTOBER of AD 66 when they first saw "Jerusalem surrounded by armies" with the Roman army of Cestius Gallus and the Zealot leaders' armies inside Jerusalem opposing them. This flight to the mountains was NOT...

Then you are calling the Apostle Paul a liar. God had more than just the Apostles spreading the gospel to the nations of the world in those first century days. Christ raised up an evangelistic force of 144,000 First-fruits, resurrected from the dead on the same day that "Christ the...

Do you need a list of all of these "wars and rumors of wars" that occurred in the first century? The "birth pangs" began with the persecution of the disciples when they were being beaten in the synagogues, and brought before the rulers of the Sanhedrin and their councils; being put to death for...

Luke 21:20 interprets for us Daniel's "abomination of desolation" as being "Jerusalem surrounded by armies". The disciples were to recognize these encircling armies as the time to flee Judea and Jerusalem, so as to escape the "days of vengeance" coming upon "this people" - the first-century...
