Like the English language, the Greek words can have more than one meanings. The Greek word "diakoneo" also means "servant." Phoebe was a servant, but did not hold the office of a deacon. In the same way, the English word "President" can mean "the Chief Executive of the United States," but...

In the case of homosexuality, do not practice it. In the case of same sex marriage, do not support it.

God offers eternal life to those who follow His will.

Wow!! :) I also wear a head covering to Church. A few of the women in my Church also wear a veil. We call the head covering a veil. A woman can be an assistant in Church. She serves the Church by helping out just as Phoebe did. Romans 16:1-2 I commend to you Phoebe our sister...

It was the Holy Spirit speaking in St. Paul who gave the title "Head of the house" to the husbands, so what came from the Holy Spirit is not carnal at all. The title "Head of the house" came from God. Furthermore, it was God who put defined and created the marriage between husbands and wives...

When Christ saw the money changers in the temple, he was angry because those money changers were defiling the house of His Father. Christ then overturned the tables of the money changers and drove them out of the temple. By this, Christ is showing us that it is okay to have "righteous...

The Apostle Paul did call a husband a "Head". In this case the husband is the Head of the wife and his household. So, Christ is not the only one called a "Head" in the Bible. The man is also called a "Head"......and he's called that not because there are two heads, but because the marriage...

Sorry, but I go by God's word and not by some feminist who wants the title "Head of the House" because she rejected the title and valuable role that God gave her.

There is nothing in that verse that says they are apostles. Note means just as you pointed out "eminent" or "remarkable" or "outstanding." Kinship does not mean the "same as Paul." It means "the same as kin related by blood" or "fellow countrymen."

Why are you surprised especially when I have already posted under this thread that homosexuality is a sin. Both abortion and homosexuality are sins. One is murder and the other is sexual immorality. Are you saying that we don't have a right to petition against homosexuality. Do you not know...

This verse is not saying that they are Apostles. St. Paul calls them his kinsmen and fellow prisoners who did outstanding work among the Apostles. "Among" means "with" or "by". They were outstanding people with the Apostles. See the Blue letter Bible below...

You didn't answer my question. Are you saying that Christ chose some women to be Apostles?

Are you saying that Christ chose some women to be Apostles??

And all the priests He ordained were men. The fact is Christ DID choose 12 men to be His Apostles. He also chose Paul and Barnabus to be Apostles. That is a fact. All the Apostles were ordained bishops. Fact #1: Christ chose men to be Apostles. He did not choose any women. Fact #2...

Abortion is also legal on my island, but I don't accept. I belong to an organization that works to reduce the number of abortions through legislation. Furthermore, when one senator on my island proposed a bill on gay marriage a few years ago, we collected petitions from people who were...

101, there is nothing in the Old Testament or New Testament showing that a woman was ever ordained as a priest. This concept only rose today with the feminist movement. It is already in scripture that the office of a deacon and the office of a bishop belongs to a man. And the title of "HEAD"...

Why are we being forced to accept it?? I don't accept abortion, and no one is forcing me to accept abortion. I can still call abortion wrong and no one is going to sue me in court for it. So, if people don't accept gay marriage, are they going to be sued in court??

What have I been telling you all along?? Did I not say that the head of the single woman is Christ?? Did I not say that the head of the married woman is her husband?? Both men and women have the Holy Spirit in them. But for married people, the husband represents Christ, which is why St. Paul...

And I already told you that the head of a single woman is Christ. So, the single woman is supposed to allow Christ (her head) to be the priest. The single woman is not supposed to take the authority of her head (in this case "Christ) for her own and be the priest.

Genesis 29:9-10 While he was still talking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she was a shepherd. When Jacob saw Rachel daughter of his uncle Laban, and Laban's sheep, he went over and rolled the stone away from the mouth of the well and watered his uncle's sheep. Look...
