The scriptures of the New Testament are for the age of the Church, from Jesus until his return. The world may change but God will be the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
100% wholeheartedly agreed! :D Which is why I am reluctant to say "this is God's agenda for authority", for I do not know until it is revealed - in his time in his place and in his way. I do believe however that there are provisions made in Christ to bring about his new covernant to it's full capacity in our changing world.
Which is why I love the Matthew 23:37 verse, "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not."
The new covernant is between God and Jesus and not God and mankind. Therefore God will trust the full word coming into fruition via the Spirit being poured upon mankind - rather than relying on the fact that Eve deceived her husband and Adam put her words before God's command.
"So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you." - 2 Corinthians 4:12
Also, I do not see the position of the woman believer in such a negative light as some see themselves or others. I believe that the women believers are held in as high of an esteem as the church is held by Jesus Christ. I believe that the disobedience of men and women bring negative consequences, and those consequences can be lifelong, however, believers have the power of Jesus Christ to overcome, and we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.
We agree on so much. When we overcome with Christ we become a testimony to others who have fallen down. Just in your capacity as you have shared your understanding of the word (thanks for doing so by the way) - so too, are others sharing. Not for rebelliousness' sake, but because we are all led through the valley of death with Christ and will come out transformed for the purpose he has intended for us.
Maybe that was a little more than one point, but when I get going, I get on a role.
I know the feeling, LOL. :wink: God bless you and yours'. :D
