Who am I that I decide what belong to the Word of God and what not. You can do this. The bible I am useing have it Inside. Also the Romans 8 Text you mentioned. And all Texts which we uses in this thread you Can find in the Bible. If not, then Please show me.
I once preached in our Church about the role of a Woman in the Church. I dont know how many Woman would like to kill me with their Eyes.
The timespirit says that the bible and the values which we find Inside is from yesterday for People from yesterday. I believe this not. The People since the Time of Paul did not changed in their behaviours and also the values of the Word of God doesnt changed. Sorry for my bad english.

so if I understand you correctly. The woman is not allowed to be a deacon or speak in the church because she needs to stand by her man so the man is not tempted?
That sounds pretty awful and I am sure many women are offended by your comments. (Unless I misunderstood you) Men who are in leadership should be following god, if they are following God they should not be tempted. If they are tempted. then the have more issues than the fact that he does not have a wife which is supporting of him.
One of my pastors in my youth (I was probably in my teens by then) Had a wife who loved him and served the church in many ways, Even his kids helped. His had deacons who loved the lord. Even their wives helped many times (I remember the wives were very active in youth ministry, I was very close to all of them) then one day the pastor and one of the deacons disappeared. They left their spouses and ended up running away together. Our churhc was so affected by this we had to change our name.
Now was it because the wife was not loving or serving him (No)
do we blame the deacons wife who left the deacon who was serving God in mighty ways?
the fact is, both the pastor and the woman who left was to blame. The woman was half the age of the pastor. But that is no excuse, are you going to say it was the woman fault?
sometimes you scare me my friend.

Amen, He through people who were taking advantage of the poor out. The priest were letting them do it (they were even benefiting from it, and probably instituted it) this does nto prove what he thinks it said.. I missed this some how. nice catch.
We have some pastors which need to be thrown out of churches because of their evil too. this does not mean we do not let sinners in our churches. That is what church is for. to make disciples of all nations. It is our primary mission. if we do not act on our primary mission, how can we expect god to bless us in our secondary missions?

In many cases yes, though perhaps not in all. I think it depends on the individual. A bit like the "better to marry that to burn with lust" teaching. If you can serve better single, good then you don't have a family to be concerned for and can devote all of your time to The Lord. But it's better to marry than to burn with lust and as you have pointed out, your spouse can be beneficial in ministry.
I'm not trying to oppose or contradict what you are saying about this. I think you have raised some good points. Just discussing, I hope that's ok.

Nope. I NEVER said that at all. I identified his letter of instruction as the letter to the church in Corinth
BUT I NEVER said or implied his teaching and instruction were limited to that church only
as we all know there is truly only ONE BODY/CHURCH
and that BODY consists of many members.
Women also!

Nehemiah6 and wolfwint posted these BIBLE translations earlier. Every single one of them either has the word "silent" or "silence" in them. Not a single one of them uses the word "quietness". So to say they have now changed the word in a lot of Bibles to quietness is either having no idea of what one is talking about OR they are intentionally lying.

The only reason why you are scared is because you have a bad habit of reading into what one is saying.
1. never said woman is not allowed to be a deacon
2. never said a women is not allowed speak in the church because she needs to stand by her man so the man is not tempted?
3. The word of God tells us those who have issues to marry does it not ? 1cor 7:9
The point I'm making is Yes a women can be a deacon, minster, evangelist, and leader. The word Deacon = servant I think you missed that.
"the word deacon = servant that all. many miss some very important truths about the servant, deacon, minster and it is in the word of God ."
Can a women be a servant of God? Yes. can a women be a deacon yes she can. That being said a husband and wife team in the service does help prevent foolishness. I'm minster I have a wife of 27 years, One wife. Unlike many who are on wife two and three. I don't go and visit a married women home without the husband being there that is called respect. OR my wife is with me. There is more than just trusting a person it is called "to void the very appearance of evil" 1thess 5:22 . I have staff many of them women my wife can come to my office anytime and so can thier husbands , we do not take lunches together without my wife.
Your exmple of the running away deacons is missing soe very important facts.
were either of them married ? If they were why was he working so close to another women that was not his wife? And why would i say it is the womans Fault?
"Men who are in leadership should be following god, if they are following God they should not be tempted. "
Your point here is not biblical sir, No one followed God more than Jesus and guess what HE was tempted.
All men will be tempted. The Bible show us we will be tempted the two reason why 1. God is testing you 2. your lust has control over you. many men followed God and were tempted. Joseph is one that comes to mind. David is another.
Maturity is neded. and it is lacking with many.
