Yes, we do have proof of this letter written by the Corinthians. Read 1 Corinthians 7:1. "Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me..." You don't need a copy of the Corinthian church's letter to know that Paul received one from the Corinthian assembly, and that he was responding to...

I fully understand your objections to what I just wrote. And I am mindful that the terms of this women's only forum are not to engender any kind of rancorous debate. This view of the scriptures describing the past elimination of the entire Satanic realm is what I get pushback on all the time...

Okay, just checking on what you consider "spiritual warfare" to be. I should forewarn you that with my eschatology studies, I see scripture texts teaching that Christ eliminated the entire wicked Satanic realm completely back in AD 70. The entire body of unclean spirits were to "pass out of...

I believe exactly what scripture tells women they are allowed to do in the assembly and in the leadership ministry among them, and the method in which that was to be done. ALL were being permitted to speak, one at a time, and a maximum of two or three prophets speaking per meeting so as to be...

NO. That was NOT PAUL'S statement in 1 Cor. 14:34-35. Paul was QUOTING a portion of the Corinthian men's letter to himself. And he immediately reacted in shock and disgust in 1 Cor. 14:36. "WHAT? Came the word of God out from you?" (The word of God had not been authored by those Corinthian...

No, I am not ignoring Paul's directive for the Ephesian women to calm down in the way those Ephesian church women were behaving at the time. The Greek word "hesychia" does not mean "silence" It means "quietness" - or a peaceful manner. Like King David once said of himself. "I have behaved...

Do you notice the blessed results of "ALL" - repeat "ALL" prophesying in the church? There is no limit to only males prophesying inside the church assembly. Women were being encouraged to do the same. In fact, Paul gave the stipulations of just what manner that was to be done by women in the...

The Greek word Paul used in 1 Timothy 2:11 did not mean utter silence of speech. The Greek word Paul used there was "hesychia", which means a spirit of calm with peaceful behavior. Women in that Ephesian church (in a city extremely devoted to the goddess Diana) were acting disruptive and...

Thank you for bringing this up. I read the sample of this book that amazon provided. This would be well worth purchasing from what I can see. My one red flag is that she uses the term "authority" for the power that the church is to wield. I don't believe Christ meant for the church He...

ABSOLUTELY. Having direct one-on-one sessions with God's Word - sitting at His feet like Mary - truly is the "better part". For myself, the greatest aid for re-evaluating what I had formerly been taught was the use of the Interlinear version of scripture along with the LXX; daring to compare...

The "law" being referred to here was the "vain traditions" of the Jewish ORAL LAW which had developed in the first century. Jewish religious leaders forbad the Torah to be taught to daughters, and men who allowed their daughters to read the Torah for themselves had a curse pronounced against...

This statement in 1 Cor. 14:34 was referring to the Jews' ORAL law whose "vain traditions" (as Christ once called them) had grown up in first century Israel. There were restrictions on even teaching girls from the Torah, lest they learn something that would defile them. A curse was pronounced...

I totally recognize that road. It is a path with specific phases in it that cannot be skipped over. I would compare that road to the grieving process at the sudden death of someone beloved. They say one passes from stunned, shocked denial, to profound weeping, then exhaustion, then to anger -...

This is very true. Let me give a personal example. Three and a half years ago my father died in his 90's. We travelled to visit him and arrived a day before he died. Under morphine, he just barely recognized me. I had always loved and respected my father, and saw in him a truly godly...

Why should I do that? A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still. And I have a job to do today of installing rockwool insulation under the floor of my renovation project that takes priority right now...back later....

What you presume the word "submit" means is entirely different than God's intent. You sound just like my parents with their skewed interpretation of what "obey in everything" meant. Their interpretation of this verse warped their entire lives, and had a ruinous effect on the marriages of all...

This would be something of the same idea as expressed by the term "generational trauma". Or as the previous generation would have said, "As the twig is bent, so grows the tree." But our God has given us promises of the growth of His kingdom here on earth which will continually increase, like...

Nobody is asking you to adopt a simpatico facade of sympathy if you aren't inclined to do so. Let's try a Thumper quote from Disney's "Bambi" to keep it simple. "If you can't say sumpin' nice, don't say nuttin' at all." Do you not understand that women don't necessarily need for someone to...

The perpetual myth of a "superior human bloodline" never seems to go away, and has produced all kinds of human carnage over the millennia. Whether it is the origin of the papal delusion, or the "divine right of kings", or the "Master race" fallacy, etc...all these and others are based on the...

"There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword, But the tongue of the wise promotes health." (Proverbs 12:18) There are those with a history of being greatly wounded present here on this post, and it should be responded to with words that give balm and healing where most needed. It...
