What about the scriptural teaching that Christians should follow the example of God in showing mercy toward the murderer, Paul? Cain committed murder, God showed mercy. Moses committed murder. God showed mercy. David committed murder. God showed mercy. Paul committed murder. God showed mercy...

The “government” has never implemented the death penalty as God has commanded throughout history…. That is without bias and on the basis of at least two witnesses. But that doesn’t change the teaching that God demonstrated mercy toward Paul for the purpose of giving Christians an example to...

Scripture very clearly states the government wields the power of the sword, therefore, the death penalty is biblical for the government to implement. However, Christians should not support the death penalty. The Apostle Paul identified himself as the worst of sinners because he had persecuted...

Yes she was. Paul was concerned everything was done in an orderly way. To that end, churches have discretion in carrying out their own ministries. However, we do have examples of how decisions were made in the early church, as well as the leadership model. We don’t want to stray too far from...

Then I would argue the obvious… the modern view of “deacon” is not the biblical view and therefore an invalid view. All the roles you described are biblical roles for elders. Peace to you

The 1 Timothy passage says “likewise the women” which is wrongly translated as wives of the deacons. Women can be, have been deacons throughout church history. Deacons are servants with no biblical authority over men, unlike the pastor/elders. The statement is fine as written. Peace to you

This will be one final “Day of the Lord”, when Christ returns, collects His elect and immediately follows the great throne judgment… Matthew 23-25 Peace to you

In church, the pastor is your authority. If you believe the 1 Corinthian passage in is regulative, then yes, wear a head covering. Concerning hair, you are doing much better than I am. I remember a passage from the OT where some young men were mauled by a bear because they made fun of a...

I was responding to post #74 from EWF Peace to you

What makes you think his definition is any different from the common understanding of slavery? The only variation in the definition I know of is is “bond slave” which refers to a freed slave that voluntarily remains in service to the master that owns him. He is just stating historical facts...

Let each be convinced in their own mind In the Corinthian church, there were converts that had been temple prostitutes. They had shaved their heads and spoke in tongues (guttural utterances) during their….. well… while they worked at the temples. Paul gives this command based on in God’s...

This theory has been around 40-50 years, ever since they developed bar codes to scan prices at retailers. Peace to you

Great story about Jordon. Never heard it before. Peace to you

He preached at our Chapel when I was in seminary. The sermon was in Matthew… the beatitudes. I thought the sermon was amazing. I learned things I had never seen before. Our Preaching Prof was disappointed because he read directly from a manuscript the entire sermon. The prof had taught us to...

My understanding is that Ninja we’re assassins that attacked from the shadows or used poisoned, and didn’t really look for direct combat, though they were trained. Am I wrong about that? Peace to you

As part of the Apostle Paul’s list of what is of “first importance”… The eye witness account of more than 500 people who saw Jesus alive after watching/knowing He had been dead and buried. It was based on the testimony of many of these disciples the early church grew with the power of God Holy...
