This is not about Deborah usurping authority over men, it's about people using Deborah as an example of a woman in authority over men to PROVE that women are allowed to usurp authority over men.
Why are you so judgemental? I don't have any prejudices against women. Paul says a woman is not to usurp authority over a man and I believe him, why does that make me prejudice?
post the scripture where Barak was AFRAID to go into battle unless Deborah went with him
That verse doesn't exist. This verse doesn't say Barak was afraid to go without her, it doesn't say why he wouldn't go without her.
Judges 4:8 KJV
And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go.
what do you think a judge OVER Israel means? unless Israel was comprised of only women at that time, then Deborah was in authority over the men and by their own desire and allowance and God honored her, blessed her and gave her victory in battle
now, if you still see no authority...especially considering her role in LEADING INTO BATTLE...(ask yourself if a general has authority over his men) then you are not able to admit when you are wrong
Where does the bible say Deborah lead Barak into the battle?
not mincing words here
no further time for this thread
I think literate people can read Judges, study it and draw their own conclusions
to say that even if Deborah was a judge she still had no authority over men, is laughable...and just plain screams that someone is not going to let the Bible renew their mind for them
seriously...not debating it....having exchanged many posts with you, I see no point in it
I'm not just talking about Deborah having authority over people I'm talking about any of the judges. I read the stories and don't see where any of them were in authority over anybody. From what I can see the judges were Godly people who did what God told them to do to deliver Israel.
everyone who posts scripture to demonstrate how wrong you are, including your Preterist belief system, is attacking you
I said you would deny any proof of the lie of what you post...and you did
so? you just proved me right again
my last post to you...you are not interested in the truth...
in order for someone to be a judge they MUST have authority and in order to lead in battle they must have authority
but you say no
so that is your problem...but entirely what is expected
all your views are skewed considering the platform of Preterism you expound from
