Well that was his reasoning. Preaching would be teaching in a sense, so yes, I suppose he would be saying that a woman should not be doing that in church and part of his reasoning is that Eve was deceived and not Adam. I don't know how he was ignoring anything Adam did.

I don't know how you couldn't see that implication. 1 Timothy 2:11-14 (KJV) 11Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 13For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14And Adam was not deceived...

It doesn't really matter which is worse, because that's not the issue here. Not really. He just wrote that Eve was deceived but not Adam. That's his reasoning, other than Adam being formed first.

How is he throwing Eve under the bus? He was just saying that Adam was not deceived but Eve was. If that's what happened that's what happened. Paul was an Apostle, if this is his reasoning I'm sure it's sound. AGAIN I might get into trouble for this, but it makes sense to me!

I think it's implied in the text that because Eve was deceived women are unfit to have authority over men in Church.

OKAY. This might get me some trouble, but being a man I've always read it that women are different than men. in this case, in that Eve was deceived and Adam wasn't. As shown by this there is a quality in all women that makes them not fit to have authority over men in Church. It also says that...

I think I might have been approached by the Devil 3 times. This happened about 2 years ago maybe all within the course of maybe 3 months. One time I was riding the bus and someone put their bike on the front of the bus like you can if you have a bike, set a coin down beside me (I was sitting at...

No.

Well, once you think you have sinned I think you should confess it. One thing should follow the next, unless I'm wrong somehow. I don't know how this would be giving in to a compulsion, it's just confessing a sin.

People who work at McDonald's benefit society. Sometimes people want McDonald's, people working at McDonald's makes it possible for that to happen. If there's no reason you shouldn't be working and you don't work but instead live off of other people then yes, I think that would be a sin.

This is just speculation, but it might be shown how he is a murderer in how he tempted Eve in the garden. He might have done it with the intent of killing Eve knowing the fate he himself would suffer for his rebellion. If I'm not mistaken angels can see everywhere, so he might have seen the lake...

Matthew 7:13-14 (KJV) 13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Hey, Nehemiah. I was actually sort of expressing the dichotomy shown by these two verses. John 3:16 says "For God so loved the world", so it would seem God loves the whole world. Hebrews 12:6 says he chastens those he loves though, perhaps he chastens everyone? I was maybe reading it like he...

Actually, rereading it, the language used doesn't seem to indicate that it was a devil.

It seems to me from what the scripture says that the thorn in the flesh might have been a fallen angel, or devil, since it is referred to as the messenger of Satan. If so, it seems like someone who is indwelt by the Holy Spirit can also be affected in the flesh by a devil, though I suppose that...

Well the language in Hebrews 12:6 is exclusionary about who God loves, but John 3:16 says "for God so loved the world", so I guess it makes sense to me that God loves his sons and daughters in an exclusive way, but also loves the world. Also I think you're adopted (if I put that right) as a son...

Well, God is love... perhaps love is the correct word (I don't know what it originally said) and it just makes sense in the nuance of the language.

OH, you were saying why God chose Judas. I have no idea about that. You might be right, I don't know though. God is love why would he choose Judas because he knew he would betray Jesus?

I think Jesus wouldn't have had a hidden motivation like that. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, if he chose Judas because he knew he would betray him why wouldn't he take him aside at some point and say, "Judas, I chose you to be a an apostle of mine because you're going to betray me". I...

I mean to be honest all I know about Judas that I know is the truth is what I've read about him in the Bible, I don't know if there is any other source about him that is trustworthy. I think testing the spirits means to literally test the spirits, lol. Sometimes I hear voices and things happen...
