    The GENDER Issue again :)

    The disorder that Paul was historically confronting in the church was indeed a problem to contend with, but was the smaller context than that larger context that caused it to become a greater principle in the eternal word of God. But no, the personal roles and those of the church are like those...

    The GENDER Issue again :)

    "The two shall become one flesh" is quite clear. Why do you have a problem with that?

    The GENDER Issue again :)

    Solomon was both...but the word of truth must be rightly divided. What he meant for evil God meant for good. An example would be Solomon having as many as a thousand wives/concubines...which is the spiritual meaning of innumerable things, as a foreshadowing of the Bride. As for what Solomon...

    The salvation journey.

    Sorry, I'm sometimes on my phone and therefore brief. The parable of the sower is a great example. The point of "testing", I would instead say is God's intention to reveal by manifestation all things through actions/acts. Brief and by phone again :)

    The GENDER Issue again :)

    You are correct, He did not say "grace " at that time, but then laid down His life...for God so loved the world.

    The GENDER Issue again :)

    This is a great point, but I would say (as do the scriptures)that Adam simply made the mistake of listening to the woman (meaning, to himself, from whom she was taken). This is the error of women (self, men and women alike) not being silent in church.

    The GENDER Issue again :)

    Much of that is true, but it is all the revelation of Jesus Christ. As for men foreshadowing Christ, Solomon is a big one...and even little known, so was Christ-opher Columbus, brought forth by Santa Maria (St. Mary).

    The GENDER Issue again :)

    In the greater eternal context, the point is to only have the Holy Spirit speak, that nothing is ever the teachings of men (or women). In spiritual translation we can now take it to mean, the Bride should be silent in church.

    The GENDER Issue again :)

    If it were only that...that is just what came to mind. But Paul's word was less specific and more all encompassing, saying "it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me", as was Jesus at other times, saying also, as He prayed, "I in them."

    The GENDER Issue again :)

    I'm not sure from your post, but you may have missed the point. The point is that in the greater eternal context that Paul's commandment to women eludes to, is both men and women are to be silent in church--which is in accord with the Bridegroom, saying, "it is not you who speak, but the Spirit...

    The GENDER Issue again :)

    Well...Jesus did say that "it was not so from the beginning." But, yes, it was permitted by grace.

    The GENDER Issue again :)

    The first Adam is a foreshadowing of the Last Adam. The Beginning and the End, are not Christ, but both are His story. But the point is, that mankind has been identified by the appointed portrayals given to men and women by God in the scriptures, as having been taken out of the Head of the...

    Questions for OSAS deniers.

    Aunty, you have described the issue so well as so many do, that I have chosen to quote you, to give an explanation. I hope you don't mind (it is not all intended for you). The scriptural issue that is so commonly not considered nor in agreement with your above statement and understanding, is...

    The salvation journey.

    Yes, I agree (in principle). However, my own testimony would be an exception-- not to the principle, but to the order of occurrences. The exception, I would contribute to God's choosing, not mine. I was indeed drawn, but only as a last resort did I cry out to Him...and it was not so much a...

    Do you believe biblically today, we should cause division?

    Since the Beginning, even unto the End, it has been a Son of mandate to divide [daily] "the light from the darkness." But we are to "love one another as Christ loved the church." Even to "be of one mind." Which is not to say, that we are not to be different in our different gifts and in the...

    :) I agree with God. But if Enoch is not against us...

    Questions for OSAS deniers.

    No...the heavenly filter, is that "flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God." But do not be confused by the dead and sinful carcass carried around by those of the living "who are alive and remain" in the world in God's service. "God is not the God of the dead, but of the living." This...

    The GENDER Issue again :)

    Yes, just as He did Moses (regarding divorce). By no coincidence...which was later corrected by Jesus.

    Haha, you have misunderstood me. I was saying much the same thing. :)
