Question regarding Acts and books of Timothy

Acts is a book that blends the offer of the kingdom to the Jews only with the Gentiles now being able to accept the offer of the kingdom. It speaks to that transition period.

I guess I don't understand your question regarding the two epistles to Timothy. They are referred to as pastoral epistles and I think there is much to gain for the here and now as well as some future things.

Don't know if that helps any

 

Well from the sounds of the question and how I was reading the comment it seems as though the lady is saying that Timothy has no value to us today as believers, which I would say in incorrect.

But again I don't know if that is much help.

 

Is this lady a pastor/preacher of a church?

 

Acts is the Acts of the Apostles and this text deals with how the message of the Kingdom went from being proclaimed by Jesus Christ himself, to how the Gospel was proclaimed by the early church (the Apostles).

Timothy was written by the Apostle to Timothy to help Timothy as he planted churches . . .

A woman pastor (if I read your posts correctly) could want to claim that Timothy was no longer in effect today . . . makes it easier to justify a woman being a 'reverend'.

100% in agreement with El-Guero

Acts is about the acts of the apostles and so forth as previously stated.

Many women Pastorial types try to reduce certain books and passages because it is a sound rebuke to what they are doing in conflict with Gods Word.

I was asked to speak with woman who was the pastor of a youth from one of my bible studies (to better help me understand how I was wrong about such things) :BangHead:

This pastor in Gravette, Ar. Never used to beleive in women pastor until the women of the Charismatic church she was attending asked her to pray about being it pastor. She stated she would though she didn't THINK it was right. That night while studing scripture she can across the verse that states:
"...there is neither Jew nor Greek, male nor female..." and she stopped as she stated God spoke to her and said "Here you see you are equal with men and able to be my minister to this church."

I then asked Her to look again at the scripture in context (since it is speaking of salvation) and showed her this. Her response was this: What God says will always overide this book. It does not keep up with the times and women are no longer the slaves of men. God said it, and that is good enough for me." She then go up and left.

This is just a taste of what you will get when you show that God's Word is always relevent to the times. I pray you will have the heart of love to share but of boldness to stand for the truth that God, Himself has set before us. But I also pray that if and when you stand THEY will have a heart to hear and see what you say from Gods Word.

 

The whole Bible was written for us today:

Romans 15:4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.


There's not cut-and-paste truth presented in the Bible. It's a unified truth. Under law, man fails. Under grace, God saves. Law and grace are not "dispensations", but rather they are covenants, or "agreements", upon which man was to enjoy the blessings of God. The covenant of Law was faulty because man did not and will not keep his end of the agreement. The covenant of grace can not fail because the agreement is between the Father, the Spirit, and the Son, and man is the beneficiary.

If you understand the two covenants, you can basicly understand the entire Bible.
