LOL! So then all of I Corinthians, Ephesians, Galatians, Colossians, and 1 and 2 Thessalonians "only apply in the church setting, don't they?"
All of the epistles have instructions for the church setting. But they also deal with the home setting, the work setting, and the individual's words and actions in any setting. Context is critical.

There are clear instructions for Christian women in the home and in the local church (assembly). So Christian women have two options: (1) submit to the Word of God and obey the instructions without any reservations or (2) rebel against those instructions and find excuses for their rebellion. But God will hold each one accountable.

Fallacy: false dichotomy.

You begin with a premise: that this is the church setting: and then ask me to prove that it not the church setting.

I begin with an open mind to take everything that Paul says at face value.
Actually, according to the order of posts in this thread, you first questioned the idea that it was the church setting. Therefore, it is your presumption that requires justification first. :)

You're not in the habit of speaking truth. Period. You're in the habit of blaming everyone else but you, for doing the very thing you do constantly.

It's a nasty habit.
I hope you were looking into the mirror when you said that, because that describes you to a tee. So, I guess you're contending passing along scripture is not passing along truth.

I went to a church service once, a woman was preaching. I didn't think she was very good, but it was only one female preacher in one service, so I don't know. I've been to plenty with male preachers that sucked.

Loyaldisciple you mean to tell me you can't handle sarcasm ? I will note too that I have never said you were not guided by the Holy Spirit as you have about me . I have not insulted you , I have not agreed with you and you have an issue with those who don't.

Maybe you need a break from CC for a while ? at any rate you have a nice day.
You wrote: rev Jim Jones said the samething just before they drank the coolaid

You don't consider that a sarcastic insult ? hmmm, certainly appears to be one to me. post 2582

I must handle sarcasm pretty well, been doing it since page 33.

lol first off no one has been banned. Second from what I see some here like to dish it out but can't take it when the same level is had back to them. In fact many are still here who have said very insulting things . as a mod I will as a member chim in as I love to do. most of the time is is after those who have insulted another. . You are right there are others here who should be banned. But As I have said CC is very talerant :) you have a blessed day
Very tolerant of these little scripture denying hit squads you have on here, I see that's for sure.

Yep, the mod gets to chime in and take their shot at the truth tellers too.

Chester God bless you too. it is ok you believe that :) you could read 1cor 11 and explain how come women can pray and Phropheises in the church setting ? then have to be quiet in chapter 14?
1 Corinthians 11 doesn't say anything about the woman leading the church or preaching unto a man. So, if you put the verses together, at the most she can prophecy to other women and children, but it is best to just stay quiet. That is what should be gathered from combining the verses. Nothing in the scripture at all allows for her to be pastor nor preach unto men. And this is assuming 1 COR. 11 is even discussing the inside of a church.

Now now you have been insulting too. let's not be untruthful and play the victim card ok. You called people here false teachers because they do not agree with you, they called you arrogant after doing so. you told many with Sarcasim " go figure" and if you were led by the Holy Spirit and many other rude comments. You got back what you sown.

You may not know this but many will disagree with you and that is Ok. So relax and chill out as I will ask all to do the same ok. And it is my opinon you are wrong biblically :)
Me calling them "false teachers" is true. They spread there anti-biblical beliefs to others, warping those minds just as their own. That is defined as "false teaching". Being led by the Spirit first means doing what the Spirit says. One cannot be led by the Spirit when one is constantly protesting what the Spirit has stated in the verses. You're welcome to your opinion. But the Bible is truth and IT says you are wrong.

I guess that us guys are off the hook then. That's a relief.

by this comment I will agree you were shown you are wrong from your comment about adressing the church . and leave the mic on the deck
Of course he is addressing the church (believers) in I Corinthians. But that does not mean that everything that he writes in the book applies only inside the church building. The church is the church 24/7 wherever believers are.

Ok so he is adressing the church Ok but he is not too Ok I get it .

Here :

you did not get the memo?
1cor 1:2
Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints( will assume he is speaking to both saved men and WOMEN) , with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:

LOL! Yes, I think too it was a typo, but I think it was God's way of showing that I was correct! :p
Yep, sometimes the deceived slip up and accidentally tell the truth. Sort of like a broken clock being right twice a day.

The greater responsibility is on the man to first love his wife sacrificially ... just as Christ loves His bride, the church and gave Himself for it. This is where a Godly husband needs to keep his focus. Any man that takes up his responsibility in this regard will have no issues regarding his own wife's "obedience". I hate even saying the word "obedient". It shouldn't even factor in in a healthy marriage.

No Christian in their right mind will disagree with what you have said. But that is an issue for a different thread titled "The responsibilities of Christian husbands and Christian men". You are free to start that.
