The Barrd, Thank you so much for your transparency in sharing your heartache of your personal journal. I have now read your blog and made a couple of comments. You have a special gift with poetry. May the Lord encourage you with this ministry and bless it to many others. You'll get wider...

And I was referring you to James 3:1-12. Doesn't this scriptural warning have any impact on you?

Another red herring. :rolleyes:

Another red herring fallacy! :popcorn:

Stan, My reasons for not believing the baptism of the Holy Spirit is accompanied by tongues is examined in my article, Tongues and the Baptism with the Holy Spirit. I used to believe that but now any more, after I examined the biblical evidence. Oz

The Barrd, No, I did not know your personal circumstances. You are an amazing lady. May the Lord continue to bless and encourage you in your ministry. Are you attending a church where women's ministry is appreciated and affirmed? I am blessed with a wife who fits that of Prov 31:11-31 (ESV)...

Yours is a very selective sampling and it comes without an examination of the etymology of adelphos (brother and sister).

marksman, That is not the case as I have shown from 1 Cor 14:6 (NIV) and 1 Cor 14:26 (NIV). Adelphoi means brothers and sisters, as translated by the NIV, NLT, NET, God's Word translation, and NRSV. Other translations have 'Or brothers and sisters' as with the ESV. The largest ever word...

1 Cor 14:6 (NIV) is addressed to adelphoi, which means brothers and sisters. I've already provided you the exegesis thanks to Arndt & Gingrich. Yes, 1 Cor 14:6 is referring to tongues and the need for 'revelation, knowledge, prophecy or teaching (didache)' to come through this ministry...

That's exactly what I said. That it refers to salvation. However, I notice what you missed from my post - convenient for you. But I didn't mess it: Male and female are one in Christ and God has gifted brothers and sisters with the 'word of instruction/teaching' according to 1 Cor 14:6 (NIV); 1...

Another red herring. I was addressing your flaming and goading comments towards The Barrd, which you refuse to acknowledge, apologise for, and correct. When will you engage in godly language with your tongue and tame it toward The Barrd (see James 3:1-12)? 'How great a forest is set ablaze by...

You have made some personal assumptions here that we will see are not backed by the text of Acts 9. These presuppositions are: 'He had no reason to in the natural'. Of course he didn't. This was a once off supernatural encounter at Paul's conversion according to Acts 9. 'After all he only saw...

It's time you learned you are not the only person on this forum and how you speak to another is of critical importance in a Christian environment. Why don't you take James 3:9-12 (NIV) to heart? Taming the tongue applies just as much to the Internet as in person. Blaming your autism at age 74...

Perhaps! The Nizkor Project has a very accessible list of logical fallacies that people often use when online or in person. I encounter them often when I write an article for an Open Access journal online and the comments come flying in with many logical fallacies. It's almost a full time job...

Thank you The Barrd for your lovely compliment re Desley and me. In 2016 we celebrate our 48th wedding anniversary (5.5 months time), DV. You don't have to be a scholar. That calling is to only a few. However you can benefit from their scholarship if they make it available in reasonably...

Is the second Brethren assembly you mentioned associated with the Exclusive Brethren? I went to school with a family from this group. We only found out via the grapevine where they met. There is no sign out front to say that it was a meeting hall for the Exclusives. So your charismatic UK...

Back at #241 you wrote: 'Not one of these verses say that they taught men. You are getting real desperate'. So you did deny that certain verses, including Rom 16:7, did not say that women taught men. Junian is the feminine accusative for Junia. Douglas Moo's commentary in The New International...

Now it's time to apologise to The Barrd for your inflammatory and ungodly comments to her. I was embarrased that a fellow Aussie would treat a woman like this. Please quit it and repent of your attitude to her. Can't you handle those who oppose your anti-women in teaching ministry?

It was a red herring because you refused to engage with me on the meaning of 1 Tim 2:12 (ESV) after I provided N T Wright's exegesis of the text. All you wanted to tell me was that you want to a Brethren Bible College and you don't base your teaching on one person's view. That was NOT the topic...

The Barrd, You need to be able to demonstrate that this is what God teaches in the authoritative Scripture. I have been seeking God and pursuing this study for many years. From my study of Scripture, I have found that there has been a censorship of women in ministry that I am not convinced is...
