Submitting to your wife does not mean you are abdicating authority in spiritual matters in the home. And it is only in spiritual matters where the husband is to be the head. Take financial matters for example. Is an idiot of a husband who gambles and spends all the money on himself neglecting...

That price was paid for both men and women, therefore they are of equal value in the sight of God. The concept that women need to strive for "equality" is a sad state of affairs where the dictatorial mindset of men is a stark contradiction to the mind of Christ leading women to think subjugation...

I agree. Always have. In the OT Israel was called to live by faith... The just shall live by faith is an old testament requirement...I suppose though you think Jesus was a legalist for giving them commandments to obey.

That wasn't deep. I think G understood what you were saying, but just couldn't understand why and what it was you were trying to add to the conversation.

This topic is the most misunderstood in Christianity, and has led many into a lifestyle of disobedience to God Commandments. You appear (without any elaboration in your part) to also be confused regarding the "law". As you say, James and Paul appear to contradict each other on the matter of law...

Okay G. I haven't read through all 130+posts, but read enough I think to get the gist of what you are asking. Your hypothesis regarding Billy is interesting. How is he saved? Through coming to the knowledge of the gospel, which comes by revelation. And in normal circumstances God will use...

Without going into any thread dumping detail, I can think of one glaringly obvious example where the church refuses Christ's authority and usurps His authority in favor of itself. And yet... Such grace however does not mean He has abdicated that authority in favor of the church. Continuing...

I deliberately only quoted that verse because it has been ignored in several quotes of the passage you cited. Someone even asked for a verse to prove that husbands should submit to their wives. Seemed everyone has forgotten this.

Equal in what? Value? Points scored by end of life? MVP context? Quality? Effectiveness? Role playing? Strength? Attitude? Station? Class? I suggest that men and women are equal in value to God. They are not equal in value to one another. Their loss. Station, class, societal grades are all...

So you think, being a man, a woman has nothing she can teach you?

The value of anything is measured by that which you are willing to pay for it. God paid a ransom for our lives. The price of our redemption was the life of His Son.

Jesus quantified the value of humans. By dying for us He valued us as equal to Himself. Both men and women... Equal value.

seems contagious. So only many, but not all, were made sinners through Adam?

The New Jerusalem comes down our of heaven at the end of the millennium. The church is in it. God's people were not on earth during the millennium. The earth was empty except for the devil and his angels. That was his bondage. No Nations to tempt. Everyone else, that is the wicked, apart from...

You contradict yourself with these two quotes. You correctly state that begotten means unique offspring. Not created, but brought forth. Then you say in the second quote that the one brought forth... The one begotten... Is the same person as the one who begat. Can you clarify please?

True, but the promises that were insufficient and needed to be replaced weren't God's promises. They were Israel's promises to obey. God didn't ask Israel to promise anything. All He ever asks of us is to believe in His promises to accomplish all the purposes for which they are sent. So shall be...

And therein is the key. The relationship... Christ knocking always... Was initiated, and is maintained constantly, by God. But what you said above... It is contingent, dependant upon our faith. Is believing is not guaranteed.

Individual sins... If cherished... Unconfessed... Do lead to chastisement. Do all accept that chastising and humble themselves to correction? Do all believe... Trust... That God does forgive, will forgive, if they come to Him? OSAS is contingent on faith. The just shall live by faith.. most of...

Yes, we can. But we don't always. After sin we sometimes hesitate to confess it. We may refrain, through a sense of guilt, from reading scripture, off even going to church. While this may not explicitly mean a lot of salvation, I think it certainly can lead to such a loss, because that...

Show me one person on this planet who can explain fully the nature of the Godhead without any presumption or assumption. I put it to you that no-one can fully explain it understand that which is infinite. Much less should anyone declare to another... You misunderstand the trinity. Uh, duh. Of...
