Another one who likes to say that we said what we did not say. No one has said that God does not use women.

In my studies of the New Testament Church I tried to avoid using today's english as I know that is not always the correct translation re the original Greek. My 12 versions of the bible covered the old and new translations so I am happy that 11 of the 12 translated it brethren.

​Thanks for that Tom. I guess when you are out to prove the unprovable there is not much room for truth. When I studied the New Testament Church (NTC) for two years I read over 40 books on the subject written by catholics, pentecostals, evangelicals, mainline, and emerging church leaders. I...

To add to that figure, I attended a church growth forum and the speaker said that the average church can only provide involvement for 40% of the congregation with its own needs. To engage the other 60% a church has to be involved in ministries outside the church. Whilst I have no problem at all...

I like the mad, sad or glad bit. My sentiments entirely. Too many churches just want you as cheerleaders for the chosen few. Your feelings or input are not usually welcome. I approached the leader of a church I used to go to and said "I probably should not say this but...." and that was as far...

I was involved in catholicism for about three years and I cannot remember one sermon/homily that spoke the name of Jesus.

Perhaps that was strawman Stan. You know, that thing he keeps accusing everyone else of who disagrees with him.

I said what I said because that is what I meant to say. If I didn't say it then it is not what I meant to say. That is what happens when you are autistic. You say what you mean and mean what you say.

​What a convoluted response. Most of it is doing what you accuse me of doing. I dont have the time or interest in correcting everything you said so I will point out examples. 2. Of course that is not what the text says because I was not quoting the text. He heard a voice AFTER he had fallen...

​And I was addressing her flaming and goading. it seems that you are very selective in your criticism.

I haven't seen you refer it to salvation once.

I never said that women cannot teach. Another one of your strawmen. What I DID SAY IS THAT THEY CANNOT TEACH MEN.

I know teachers of NT Greek who find the eucharist in scripture. In fact, whole denominations find the eucharist in the Greek. Finding something in the Greek doesn't make you right as I found out when I did a two year study of the life and times of the New Testament Church.

That is right. I selected 12 different translations in the original Greek. My theology lecturer would be very proud of me.

Eleven out of the 12 translations of the bible I have interpret 1 Cor 14:26 "What shall we say then brethren..." What you are saying is that these 11 are wrong. And my charismatic Brethren in the UK didn't cut anything out as they didn't need to. They just followed the teaching of 11 of the 12...

241 was written to Barrd. ​Simple. Prophesying is not teaching. It is exhorting and encouraging. Nowhere does it say that women cannot prophesy. The only instruction is that women cannot teach men. I never said you did. I said that Barrd is calling the work of the Holy Spirit the work of...

When have I said that I thought I was the only person on this forum? Definitely a strawman. When God appoints you as my mentor I will take your advice. Until that happens, kay sera sera. I Cor 14:6 is about speaking in tongues and prophesying, and he is talking about HIM giving instruction...

​Another strawman I see. No one that I can see and certainly I haven't said that God does not love both brothers and sisters. As for Galatians 3:28 you have taken it out of context. It relates to salvation, not ministries in the body of Christ. As it says in the literal translation....for you...

​Yes I do despite the fact that you seem incapable of accepting what anyone says. My help was sought out because I was older and more experienced than the young guys at uni. I had a strong following of younger guys who wanted to learn. I was working in a job dealing with cultural issues so I had...
