Only Scriptures in Opposition
Church creeds (Matthew 15:9)
Matthew 15:9
New King James Version (NKJV)
9 And in vain they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’”[a]
Faith in the preacher rather than the scriptures (2 Timothy 4:3,4)
2 Timothy 4:3-4
New King James Version (NKJV)
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.
Once saved, always saved (also known as perseverance of the saints) (James 5:19-20) James 5:19-20
New King James Version (NKJV)
19 Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back, 20 let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul[a] from death and cover a multitude of sins.
Unconditional election (also commonly called predestination)
(1 Timothy 2:4)
1 Timothy 2:4
New King James Version (NKJV)
4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Women preachers (1 Timothy 2:12)
1 Timothy 2:12
New King James Version (NKJV)
12 And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence.
Church creeds should be based on Scripture and God's laws...
An annointed raised up Teacher or pastor filled with the Holy Spirit should have sound doctrines, humble heart, be a man of prayer and does not fulfill his carnal lusts but is mature in Christ in that he strives to have every THOUGHT in obedience to the knowledge of God and if you do not THINK upon evil then you will not Act upon temptation.
OSAS is different from preservance of the saints. One (preservance of the saints) is the work of God through His grace, the other is a false security blanket people want to use to cover up their sins instead of true repentance and turning from to GOD and learning full obedience to the will of God. to perserve is to grow in the Lord and obey His commandments through the guidance and protection of the Holy Spirit as Teacher, intercessor and Comforter.
God wants the whole world back into the right order and obedience to His will and in the end He will destroy anyone or thing that does not submit in obedience and love.
women preachers? the law was added for transgression as a tutor to lead people to Christ, until the promise has come (in now a days terms this is speaking of the Holy Spirit for those who seek the Kingdom of Heaven and the will of God)....In the beginning it was not so and in the end it will not be so for we will all be children of God in perfect obedience and love.
Genesis 1:27
So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
Galatians 3:19-23
New King James Version (NKJV)
19 What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was appointed through angels by the hand of a mediator. 20 Now a mediator does not mediate for one only, but God is one.
21 Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness would have been by the law. 22 But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. 23 But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed.
Galatians 3:28
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Matthew 23:8
But you, do not be called ‘Rabbi’; for One is your Teacher, the Christ, and you are all brethren.
John 17
24 “Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world. 25 O righteous Father! The world has not known You, but I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me. 26 And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”
we are all to be children of God and women are entrusted with the raising of children and the exhorting of both women and children.
In maturity none has authority over another but all submit to the leadership of Christ and call one another brethren.
Why are churches divided? because people have different methods of raising the youth and the new seedlings.
some of it is like the long versus short hair debate, somethings we are to Judge among ourselves:
1 Corinthians 11
13 Judge among yourselves. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14 Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him? 15 But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her[a] for a covering. 16 But if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God.
