James Carville would accept absolute communist rule if he thought that would win elections for the Dems. He wants the Dems in power and whatever works to put them into power he will embrace Peace to you

My appreciation of memes has been restored… Bless you Peace to you

Well, surprisingly, it appears we ran out of memes…. Peace to you

I agree women are scripturally prohibited from being pastors/elders. I do not believe this prohibition applies to deacons. “Deacon” means a servant. Phoebe was referred to as a deacon by Paul. The problem, I think, is many of our churches consider deacons to have authority within the church...

Maybe didn’t think the naming through. Peace to you

Scripture doesn’t really address “ability” when it comes to women in leadership roles (pastor/elders) in the church. I have heard women speak at conferences and in churches and have been edified. The prohibition of women as Pastors/ elders, is based on God’s created order, found in Genesis...

Lol Quick witted. I’m reminded off a story in a Spurgeon biography I read. Late in life (he died in his early 50’s?) he fell head over heals down some steps, knocked out a couple of teeth and coins in his pocket ended up in his boot. He commented, “ painless dentistry and change to boot”...

This is interesting. Scholarship pertains, I think, to formal academic pursuits. As you stated, publishing articles in peer reviewed journals and such. Therefore, a “scholar” in a technical sense, should be someone pursuing those efforts. I have referred to your posts in biblical Greek...

You can use scripture to focus your prayers. The “Psalms/Proverbs” of the day, is a good habit. For instance, pray psalm 23 back to God. The Lord is my Shepard, I shall not want… I might pray this back to God. “Thank you God for being my Shepherd, guide me today through this life. Lead me...

I shall ponder this. Thanks Peace to you

And so I learn something new every day. Very well stated. Thank you Now the question, is it literal or is it figurative… like so much else in Revelation. I always considered Heaven to be the future of all believers. Does this description of a new earth simply refer to our perfect existence...

A good question. Spurgeon got it right…. Again. Peace to you

Ok, I think I see what you are saying. The victim (a man being falsely accused) is being blamed for the accusation because he allowed himself to be alone with a woman not his wife. I still think it really doesn’t compare to blaming a woman for an assault, but I do see now what you were saying...

No, I don’t. You claimed a man falsely accused has no defense. I stated if he followed the rule of never being alone with a woman not his wife, he would have a defense. He’s not the victim of abuse. See why that’s completely different? Peace to you

I don’t know anything about you, however, I suspect if you were the victim of a brutal s:xual assault, you might consider an excuse or two for not reporting it. Embarrassment and shame, shock, attempting to protect family members from the knowledge fearing how they would respond, not desiring...

Which is why he should follow the Billy Graham rule… never be alone with a woman not your wife (or a female relative) The defense then is very clear to all. The man has never been alone with a woman not his wife for the specific purpose of never suffering such a false accusation that brings...

Please. If it isn’t taken to the law, it isn’t credible? If a child doesn’t “take it to the law” it isn’t credible? Wow!! You simply do not understand the mindset of predators. They look for people to abuse. They look for people that are vulnerable. They for people they can intimidate...

Do you agree adultery, fornication, child s:x abuse and rape… abuse? Peace to you

Women are biblically instructed to teach other women. They are “ministers” in the sense they have a ministry within the church. WMU is a women’s ministry within the church. Every person within the church should have a “ministry”, that is a mission for the cause of Christ in the world. I have...

Or, as I did, simply read the passage, and see the context as presenting a genealogy of Jesus Christ. Classroom not needed. However, to pour dispensationalism into the passage, you need to be convinced everything points to dispensationalism and then read that into every passsge. Because the...
