    Women are to be silent when the Church assembles!

    The first thing we need to do is to look at the text. 1Cor14:34 is the main one I am looking at the first thing I notice is that there is no negative used in this sentance. The Author does not say "dont" speak. nore does he use an adjective, decribing woman as being silent. He uses the verb...

    Women are to be silent when the Church assembles!

    I hesitate to add to this conversation by.your last statement which suggests how you will treat any view other than yours. I feel that there are several complications with a literal representation of this passage that you may not be aware of. In particular the issues relating to the genre of...

    Justification for Fornication?

    The bible is not an encyclopaedia nor a dictionary. a quick search under M will produce the book of Malachi, not a topic on marriage. and a look under F will not find a definition of fornication. refusing to believe in something unless there is a specific verse on it is misreading the genre...

    Scriptures that Teach Particular Redemption !

    but as usual, you will turn a deaf ear to the blatent inaccuries of your posts, and just keep posting more topics riddled with mistakes, and misuses, of the text.

    Scriptures that Teach Particular Redemption !

    this is absolute rubbish. There is no indefinite article in greek (the word 'a' in english), so the definite article fulfills many roles. 1. used in the same situations as "the" in english 2. before a name. 3. before the word qeos (god) to destinguish between God and god. 4. used with...

    Scriptures that Teach Particular Redemption !

    laos is the word for people here which refers to a People group, a nation. Not a church. It is NOT used in Col 1:18 the word for brethren is not adelfos. Adelphos is singular and it means a brother. a small point but highlights the consistencies of your errors. You dont actually know greek...

    "Nudity (or near nudity) is justified under the name of art"... how to counter?

    My two cents. I think Viewing nudity as sinful Is a very dualistic way of looking at things. Ie. the worldview that suggests things are either good or evil. Nudity isn't bad. Its the sin and evil that infested it that is the bad stuff. As far as defending your stance, I would go the...

    Justification for Fornication?

    a good example, to note also, John got this idea from Genesis 1, and it is obvious that he is creating parallels to the OT. In fact, even his grammer in writing his first few verses matches the grammer found in the Greek translation of the OT (LXX) and doesnt conform to the grammer usually found...

    Justification for Fornication?

    FC I agree!!!!! I just want to clarify some specifics that dont sit right to me/I feel doesnt give a whole understanding of such things. The Greek word porneia comes from a Greek word that means to sell. The word refers to prostitution tedious maybe,but the word porneia has its ROOT in the...

    Eternal Sanctification !

    Hmmmmmmm I don't have time this morning to look at the passage in its entirety but I have doubts as to whether your claim that this instance is separating the sentence as the word is a VERB and by nature alone need both a subject and an object ie. the whole of a sentence. I doubt that it is...

    Matthew's "mass resurrection" account

    I read somwhere about the link of these holy men and the elders sitting in Gods throne room in Rev.4 I would look it up further but I need to study more of my own work, maybe later. in response to answering a question, there is not enough information given in this small section to adequetly...

    Freewill religion is the Man of Sin !

    well, here we go again :/ first of, good job of defining apolalyptetai only you forgot to mention the ending difference, which shows this particular word is passive, present indicative. this means that the subject of the sentance is being acted upon, the subject being...

    Was Jesus Christ a Jew by Blood ?

    see above, this verse does not indicate the uniquness of jesus' blood. it does not tell us that Jesus created his own blood, but rather that God (refering to the divine nature of Jesus) was the owner of the blood in question. (blood being the direct subject of the indirect object of this...

    Was Jesus Christ a Jew by Blood ?

    next, Acts 20:28 does not refer to the blood being unique or different, it is demonstrating that the blood being sold was owned by Jesus, the emphais is not on the uniquness of the blood but that this particular blood had an owner. Romans 2:28 is not talking about Jesus at all, it is talking...

    Was Jesus Christ a Jew by Blood ?

    Jesus was fully man, he was born into the house of David, the genealogies in the gospels indicate that he has claim to be blood related to this family tree, otherwise it would not have included them, He was/is part of Gods chosen people, as well as being Rabbi. He was Jewish. I think you...

    Rushed into Marriage by the Church

    adressing your first point........ enought passages have been thrown around that a significnt case can be made that Gods expectations are shown through the bible. Yes, there is no book of dating and marriage hiding behind malachi (although I think we all wish there was) yet theologically...

    "jono rolls his sleeves up and opens his bible dictionary - marshall et al. 2009, ivp reference collection" sex slaves= ex21:7-11 and Dt. 15:12 distinguishes between an ordinary slave and a 'sex slave' who is to be treated as a daughter, and warns that they cannot be deprived of food...
