    Can We Obey God and also Vote for a Woman?

    You're pushing an uphill battle. The NT was based primarily on the Greek. Seems like you have a fixation to retain the woman in adultery in the NT. Bye, Oz

    Can We Obey God and also Vote for a Woman?

    D, The principle still applies. We must obey God rather than human beings. If the New Covenant law clashes with the laws of government, we must obey the NT law. If you do an in-depth study of John 7:53-8:11 (NIV), you will find the "adulterous woman" section was not in the original text...

    Can We Obey God and also Vote for a Woman?

    D, Acts 5:29 (NIV) gives the biblical mandate: 'Peter and the other apostles replied: “We must obey God rather than human beings!"' When the New Covenant laws clash with government laws, that's when we are to obey God rather than human-made laws. Oz

    jaybo, Of course adulterous women are NOT killed in Australia as Christians live under the New Covenant and the government of Australia. Oz

    Can We Obey God and also Vote for a Woman?

    So does capital punishment apply for Gentile Christian women caught in adultery as per Lev 20:10 (NIV)?

    Can We Obey God and also Vote for a Woman?

    Eddie, That is not true. The whole of 1 Cor was written to a Christian church and was meant for correction. Oz

    D, Were those instructions for Israelite women or are they for Christian women as well? Oz

    Can We Obey God and also Vote for a Woman?

    Eddie, Where does the husband and wife prophesying take place? In the church! Your argument falls flat. First Cor 14:4 (NIV) states: "Anyone who speaks in a tongue edifies themselves, but the one who prophesies edifies the church." The gift of prophecy takes place in the church and that is done...

    Can We Obey God and also Vote for a Woman?

    Are you talking about voting for a female pastor or female for President of the USA? We have previously had a female Prime Minister of Australia, Julia Gillard. From the other information you posted, it seems you are referring to women in leadership in the local church. With sadness I admit...

    Can We Obey God and also Vote for a Woman?

    wondering, I'm so sad to hear your hubby has passed away. He will leave a big hole in your life, even though he wasn't well in his latter years. I'm not married. Blessings, Oz

    Can We Obey God and also Vote for a Woman?

    Eddie, I note you cited 1 Cor 14:34 (ESV), "Let your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the law also says." How can a woman "keep silent in the churches" and still practice 1 Cor 11:5 (ESV), "every wife who prays or...

    Study Bible recomendation

    HIH, I read and have taught the Greek NT. Because I know Greek, that's why I do not support a formal equivalence (word for word) translation. It's impossible to translate the Greek NT without adding words of syntax so the translation makes sense. I don't use the NKJV because its Greek...

    Study Bible recomendation

    HIM, The commentary is evangelical and concise. Since I have worked with many reference books over the years, I'm not used to the concise nature of a Study Bible, but it works well in taking to a Bible study. At the moment I'm working on an article for my homepage on the nature of human...

    Study Bible recomendation

    I use and recommend the NIV Study Bible. The commentary section is sound, in my understanding as a reader and student of NT Greek. Oz

    Why I am not a theological liberal.

    Serving Zion, It is nice to see a Moderator on this forum from "across the ditch" in NZ. Oz

    Serving Zion, Have I been violating these Terms of Service? If so, would you please direct me to where I have done this? Oz

    Why I am not a theological liberal.

    Which "God" do theological liberals believe in?

    Would you prefer, "Please join the defense of the faith"?

    Why I am not a theological liberal.

    jaybo, It's useless telling me my article is "so biased and "error-filled" when you don't tell me the biases and errors. Why don't you start a new thread that includes your article "about theological conservatives"? What do I have "no idea" about? You are obtuse in your language. Oz

    Why I am not a theological liberal.

    DDW, It's a statement of identity AND doctrine. I learned that in basic Christology in Bible College. Oz
