Believers are not sinners in one sense, because their identity is wrapped up in Christ. However, Paul exhorts the believer to behave according to their identity, and this is particularly prominent on Romans 6 and I Cor 6. Believers are defined by their union with Christ, and not according to...

This topic of baptism raises the point whether Acts should be considered normative for today. I don't think that Acts is normative for today. I believe it records a transitional period where the people of God goes from the nation of Israel to the Church, and the leaders of God goes from the...

My position regarding Acts 19 is that it is talking about Old Testament saints. John the Baptist baptized Jews. This was not a Christian baptism, but was a baptism that demonstrated the Jews themselves needed spiritual cleansing. Many Jews thought that they were righteous by virtue of being...

The verse says Adam was not deceived, and that Eve was deceived. Paul gave this as a reason for prohibiting women from certain activities. I thought I already answered this...maybe I'm looking at an earlier post though.

I guess we will have to wait to find out. I don't find any conclusive data to support a view. However, Adam didn't trust God enough to obey him, regardless of what the woman did.

By the way, I sometimes ask women with seminary training questions on a specific topic. So, I am not implying that women have nothing to teach me. I simply won't be led by a woman, nor will I be corrected by a woman in an authoritative way. I responded to women leadership in the workplace...

By the way, I don't agree with the sub-intellectual claims by men of particular orientations that women are to be blamed for sexual sin because they seduce me with the Jezebel spirit. Women do, in fact, sometimes employ seduction and lead men into sin, but I blame the men for their lusts more...

The question is irrelevant, because it most certainly offers guidance. I listed the Scripture. Women have breasts to nurse children. Until the advent of formula, that's the general way a child was raised. There is a segregation of duties between men and women. And, men are to lead the...

Isaiah is specifically referring to his own writings in this verse. But, the principle of Sola Scriptura is a position that I hold. I am not sure how I am in contradiction concerning this. The reason I studied Gnosticism is that Gnosticism is a heresy that affected the early church...

1 Tim 2:I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling; 9 likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, 10 but with what is...

My position would be that women in leadership and teaching positions should be overseen by male leadership, due to the creation order. Eve was deceived, and not Adam. Scripture indicates that women are more susceptible to deception than men. However, this does not negate from the value of...

Some sects which are professing Christians claim that water baptism actually saves the person. The act of water baptism accomplishes a spiritual benefit for the person, and conveys grace in some way, according to this view. Church of Christ claims that water baptism actually saves people...

My conviction is that wishy-washy people do not properly convey their disagreement with faulty theology. If you don't believe that, fine. If you wish to employ wishy-washy explanations, feel free to do so. I am not dominated by females and their views. I think females have resulted in...

Interesting story. Church of Christ is actually a cult. Alexander Campbell claimed that all other churches before him were corrupt, and he was restoring the true gospel. He claimed that you had to be baptized by a Campbellite pastor in order to be truly saved. Funny thing is, he himself was...

Correct. I am unteachable by charismatics or Pentecostals, because they don't have credibility with me. I'm glad Pentecostals don't teach generational curses, however my Pentecostal grandmother claimed that her grandson was born with cerebral palsy due to my aunt's remarriage. She claimed to...

Was I talking to you? Obviously if someone is charismatic, they will bristle when a subpoint of their accepted theology is discussed in an unfavorable light. By the way, on this thread I was discussing prosperity gospel and Christian Science people mainly. And, if someone believes that they...

Some other ministry at the right time. I think I will try to stick to Reformed ministries, though. I don't want to get involved with a mixed ministry.

KJV Only guys didn't like it because I gave away ESV Bibles. In fact, I donated a lot of them to the library and guards were not allowed to give them to prisoners. Prophecy nuts didn't like it because I challenged their views. Free-willers didn't like it because I believe God is...
