:):cool::rolleyes:The Christmas---the mass for Christ:):confused::p Every year the discussion occurs if Christmas is a Pagan holiday? Or if Christians should observe Christmas? I will explain why it is not Pagan, but to cut to the chase…Have a Blessed and Merry Christmas! Fully immerse yourself...

People like to label things because that is one of the ways the mind categorizes its understanding of reality. And it works for the surface of understanding, or what people call the milk of understanding. For a deeper understanding, you need to cast that aside. The entire period of the NT can...

Timeline gentlemen timeline.... Who did Christ say He came for? Who was Christ speaking to most of the time in the Gospels? Did He address Judaism at times? What can we glean from those conversations? Did He speak of a higher level of morals and thinking that would lead to Christianity? Did He...

Of course.

As in?

The money changers and merchants set up in the temple, I hear in the court of the Gentiles. Jesus said "It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves." Gentiles were supposed to be allowed in the Court of the Gentiles. I read that Solomon's...

That is point how did the meetings go...Two distinct groups...Jewish Christians and Gentile Christians that practiced their religions differently.....No Gentiles Christians in Temples. You are right about leaning....for two reasons....one, chairs were not common....two, it was a belief that...

I get that, converting pagan temples did occur after Constantine...325 era.... Catacomb churches are interesting. So what do you think it was like in the house churches, with women?

CharismaticLady are you talking about Christian Churches? Biblical era churches? The Bible refers to Churches as groups and congregations, not buildings. The Bible does not discuss the construction of Christian churches, history does not see it either. The discussion of where they met is a good...

Ok, you are really invested into this domination of women thing. I could not have asked for more. Thank you for your participation. You have been a wonderful illustrator of my post. Look forward to talking to you on another topic sometime. But for now, count me out.

Again cultural conditioning...what was said and what was done." How do you like that. No better way to define the word and put it in motion. 1800+ years....How many millions of women lived as second rate citizens in their perspective cultures. Do to those that believe as you. Is that love? Is...

Definitely the means of the context....respect means respect.. Part of the topic is cultural conditioning. The more energy and effort you put into justifying the unfairness and cruelty of your beliefs, prove my point. And also why it has taken so long for Christianity to work its way out of this...

The Greek word is respect.But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. The Geek word for favoritism does not appear in the Bible. Google....lol Jewish studies at American University in Washington DC and a bunch of linguistic books. Hebrew...

The Greek word for favoritism----ευνοιοκρατία---meaning; to show favor or partiality. It does not occur in the scriptures.....They had a word for it and did not use it. Changing the meanings of the Greek words is one of many ways to misinterpret the scriptures. From your past posts, we know what...

Wiggle all want. No conversion regarding favoritism in the actual scriptures. Not even close....the Greek word is very specific and well defined. Your argument keeps proving me right. Respecter of persons And in motion the lack of respect of persons has caused the greatest unfairness and the...

The word respect is never associated to favoritism in the Bible. I would ask you to provide the scriptures that indicates respect is described as favoritism, but unlike you, I know that the word favoritism does not occur in the Bible at all. But keep talking because you prove my point in...

Again, your thoughts and attitude illustrate why it took so long to figure out right and wrong. How men justified being cruel, unfair, and even evil. Without respect, your attitude show all. The meaning of the Greek word for respect was well defined....every scripture is referring to people in...

Once respect was directly targeted as not a character of God, and a sin for us, whatever lofty words that followed in the scriptures fell on hardened hearts. Hearts conditioned not to respect. It does not matter if it is romantic love or platonic love, what is left is a plastic rose, only a...
