No man can truly love without first seeing the love and depth of God's love, given to us through the Son of God via the cross, first the death in our stead for us to be desd daily to the self, and then alive to God from God a gift in the Spirit of God to new life in God
1 John 4:19 We love him, because he first loved us.
Ephesians 3:16 that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
Ephesians 3:17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
Ephesians 3:18 may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
I don't see your point. You keep bringing up verses about Love but what for? What's your point... that we should allow sin and disobedience? Is that what Love is for in your eyes?

And are able to in truth, if they are responders to God's sovereign Mercy and love to all? There are those that Lord this over Women are there not? I agree in the right order, but not in taking it for granted
God isn't just about Mercy and Love... He's also about Justice and Truth. Although God would prefer to see sinners be saved and turn their ways... his going to send people to hell because that's justice.

Ezekiel 18:23

Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked? declares the Sovereign LORD. Rather, am I not pleased when they turn from their ways and live?

And yet they will die because God is a Just God. Justice and Truth are concepts that God does have as a priority. And the truth is that men are to lead. And I'm justified to accept and promote this in that God has clearly shown us that this is how it ought to be. Why are you promoting disobedience to God?

Romans 6:15

What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? By no means!

You should really re-evaluate yourself. Your not doing the work of God by promoting to not follow God.

I'm not playing Lord and Master... (sigh) All I'm doing is informing you what the Lord and Master Yes.Men are to lead in the church in the home but it doesn't mean God can't also, in some more rare than not instances, USE a woman to lead . Why not? God can . And, He has in the past, He is now, and, God is in control, so, quit playing God by saying that you are able to read God's mind and say that a woman can never become a pastor.
"Well, Lord, your bible says that a bishop (or pastor) is to be the husband of one wife, that means that she can never be a pastor.'

No, it doesn't ! . I AM kindly, yet forcefully, telling you that and so is God, if you read into what I AM saying :)
Maybe, I'd investigate it if he really did use certain women to lead. Your telling ME that IAM reading God's mind... well, you'd be correct. I AM reading God's mind. Check it out... you can do it... didn't you know???????

[h=3]Ephesians 5:22-24[/h][SUP]22 [/SUP]Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. [SUP]23 [/SUP]For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. [SUP]24 [/SUP]Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.

What's so hard to understand... and why are you so against God's word?

Sorry you do not see what God's love is and trumps all, for God sees no man as anyone better than the other form God viewpoint and we are to renew our mindset of flesh to the Spirit of God are we not?
Therefore there is no male, female, Jew, or Greek we are all one:

1 Corinthians 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

Thank you I will take that strap, feels good on my back to suffer as Christ did for all, including you, and it seems you want to be legalistic and not see from God's vantage point through Son's finished work at the cross.
Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

Go ahead and see from a flesh standpoint over the Spirit of God's view, God just love you, me and all, and will straighten us out and cause us to stand in truth of God through Son period. This I know because God tells me so.

Thank you, love you God's way not man's

Romans 14:4 Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.

Are you demanding over your wife to be or that is now? She better do as you say or else? Just curious, yet you know and God does still just love you anyway. And me too since God loved me first and died for me to give me new life in God's Spirit and be dead to flesh worship being in control, forgiven of all sin ever committed and today I see to respond in thanksgiving and praises by this being able to enter his courts by this last sacrifice and shedding of blood to all at the cross
Thank you Jesus

There was trouble in the day of the of the Corinthians, and they took God's amazing grace for granted, sinned all the more being in the thought of hey I am forgiven, so i can just do whatever I want, eat up all the food before the rest get there, drink all the wine, get drunk have sex, have the Brothel ladies her and they can preach to us, having shaven heads,
They misunderstood the truth and so Paul had to put them back under Law. to hopefully bring the truth of it all home to them, and they got it as shown in 2 Cor 7

2 Corinthians 7:8 For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though it were but for a season.
[SUP]5 [/SUP]For, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within were fears. [SUP]6 [/SUP]Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus; [SUP]7 [/SUP]and not by his coming only, but by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more.

God is a God of order and harmony, for us to appreciate and love each other giving each other room to be in love as God is in love with us, shown by his amazing Mercy that I never want to take advantage of.

Hebrews 2:3 how shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;

there is an order of Love, and to understand this order comes from God alone through the Spirit of God (truth) as to when and where
1 Corinthians 1:20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
1 Corinthians 1:21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

God's order not man's?

Listen, I understand that Love is important. I myself have argued with myself that it may even be the most fundamental concepts of all. But, you need to understand that Love isn't just abstract but its also ACTION. Its also a response. And that response will be to seek to please God and seek to follow him.

Now, I just read the previous verses on that one verse. This is about how the body of Christ, the Church. It talks about how there are different gifts in church and that even though there are different gifts given to different people... they are all one in Christ.

This doesn't support that a woman can lead our Church or lead in the Family at all.

Acts 9:36 talks of a female apostle called Tabitha, and Romans 16:7 speaks of a female apostle named Junia. As we all know to be an apostle is to be a follower of our Lord Jesus Christ and a teacher of His word.

I wasn't exactly... "hitting" anyone with words but trying to correct em.

Now, I've read previous verses before ... Galatians 3:28 and didn't anything to see what exactly you meant. But, I suspect that you think since it says, "there is neither male nor female" then husband and wife don't exist? Or the order that scripture has set forth was temperory? And maybe only meant for a while... If that's the case, your absolutely wrong...

Ephesians 5:25

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her

Just as Christ loved the Church and gave himself up for her... meaning that this instruction and order was given AFTER Jesus Christ died for our sins. So, this is applicable for modern day Christians.

Also, its worth mentioning that the neither female or male exist in Christ is more reasonably a very deep thing... I think its more reasonable to say that its talking about our eternal identities... that in heaven and in eternity... well, we'd all be exactly the same in Christ. I think that makes a lot more sense.

About judgement...


John 7:24

Stop judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly.

While of course I don't want to put myself on God's throne... but instead I aim to abide in him and through him and his word... that's how I'll judge.. by his word, correctly. I'm looking to give you God's judgement, not mine. So, who am I... I aim to be a messenger.

I just want to say that I'm done. I've think I've done all I can to show you that God wants men to lead. See you around.

And what do you do if the woman does not submit, my dear Brother? How are we to handle that?

Kind of an asinine question for someone that professes bible knowledge.
A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; [SUP] [/SUP]Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.
And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.
Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

And so you think this, good for you, I will let God Judge this, let it fall where it may fall, love you anyway, just as God does no matter what, and we thus learn from God to love as God does and did, which just maybe you do not understand, okay then
Thank you for your admonition
