Cheryl, I beg to differ on a few points. 1. There are two direct imperatives in these 16 verses. One in verse 13 and one in verse 6, “Let her cover herself”. This is a command of Paul that the women...

> “I have come to believe that most leaders/ Pastors want conformity instead of unity, and when conformity is the goal it eventually and effectively stifles the working of the Spirit through the peopl...

Hi Metacrock, I would love to post on your board but right now I am up to my ears in alligators. We are working on a DVD on the Trinity and we are in the midst of setting up a new corporation in the...

Don, 1. In [1 Cor. 15](logos4:///Bible/1Co 15) we see several very interesting observations that will help us to understand this passage. First of all we see that each “group” of listing of people do...

I feel the need to share my experience with Matt Slick since I have found him to be one of the biggest hypocrites in the professing church today. My history with Matt has gone on for over 10 years and...

Terri, I do not want to get into a political discussion but I know that your view of George Bush is incorrect and I think your characterization is unfair. For one thing, one of Obama’s selections for ...

On #1, I did not answer yes and no, I said in in the 2nd origins story (Gen 2) the animals were formed after the human was formed. I pointed out that the ESV made a “highly interpretive” choice in pre...

“That reality is why complimentarians can make no compromise in their doctrine of the home, because it would invlaidate their doctrine of the church (or at the very least significantly weaken it). The...

“this conumdrum for comps was brought home during the last presidential election. While they supported Sarah Palin (me too!) they said her secular work had nothing to do with male leaderhip in the hom...

Mark, Thank you. I got that. “However i cannot see how one can claim for a ’source’ interpretation and yet hold to this being about husbands/wives.” Perhaps I gave the impression that I thought thi...

Mark, You also answered Kay that a widow who was older ([1 Timothy 5:9-12](logos4:///Bible/1Ti 5.9-12)) could be nothing more than one who needed financial support. I would like to differ with this ...

Cheryl, I’m quite astonished really. What makes Noah righteous? His own free-will? No I don’t think so. Was it not his faith? [Heb 11:7](logos4:///Bible/Heb 11.7) By faith Noah, being warned by God...

“If I am predestined not to be a Calvinist, because God predestined everything, then why try to convert me? Wouldn’t that be going against God’s predestination?” Cheryl, I’m equally as puzzled. It...

Mark, You said: > Cheryl, this is exactly you, because you think it is unfair that God’s ordains all things as you have said before. My guess though is that you have re-interpreted [Romans 9](logos...

Cheryl “Job wasn’t corrupt and sinful.” Are you saying Job did not have the inherited sinful nature of Adam or that he was a sinful man? “therefore I (Job) despise myself, and repent? in ?dust an...

Kay, I appreciate your comments and concerns. There are no doubt that Clavin made mistakes in his lifetime. No one denies that. In fact i don’t agree with all of Calvin’s teaching, that is why i don’...

Mark, You said: > However i pray desperately for my children asking God to be merciful on them as sinners. Please explain to me how this fits in with the 5 points of Calvinism? You asked me how I ...

Cheryl, You asked why i pray the way i do. To answer simply, because we are told to pray and care for people, both saved and unsaved. God has appointed prayer as the means to communicate with Him. He...

Also i appreciate your concern, however i do not feel like i am robbed of joy and peace. For me, once i grew in my understanding of sin, i grew in my understanding of grace. The more we realise what w...
