Hello @Bob Estey, They were led and inspired by the Spirit of God, that is sufficient for me. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Bob Estey The writings of Scripture are written for our learning, you will agree. However we need to take note of to whom they are written, and at what time, in order to rightly divide the Scriptures before making application of it; for though all Scripture is 'for' us, not all is...

Hello @Bob Estey, That has not been attempted. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Bob Estey That is a disappointing response. For obviously Paul was, by his own admission, a servant of God. However, as an Apostle of the risen Christ, he administered what was imparted to Him. If he was speaking on his own authority concerning women speaking in church then he would...

Hello @Bob Estey, Paul was a called Apostle, chosen by God, instructed by the risen Christ, and lead by the Holy Spirit, how dare you or anyone else question what he had to say. He spoke by divine authority. God is our Maker, and He knows us, He knows our strengths and weaknesses, and has...

@soul man @mailmandan @devin553344 @Truman Hello again, Do you all remember the story that is told about Charles Blondin, the famous French man? Who crossed the gorge of the Niagara falls on a tightrope in 1859. This story was always used to describe faith, saying that it was one thing to say...
