This woman's many prayers have gone up to God as a sweet smelling savor and all the angels in heaven love to hear her sing and rejoice at the many sinners that have repented. She has reached more people with the Gospel than most men will ever be able to talk to. She has impacted the world in...

I don't believe Paul taught that men should take off their hats in church. That is just Bad hermeneutics. I don't care if men wear hats indoors or in the place where we meet together. Neither do the people I fellowship with. They are not of that older culture who had those rules. I would...

I already responded. I don't agree with these writers who think that women must wear head coverings. I don't agree that Tradition is authoritative. I am against most traditions and won't have anything to do with them. If I were to walk in a church where women were all wearing head coverings...

The "destination of the road" would simply be to practice presenting a reason for an interpretation using the common rules of exegesis and hermeneutics. Learning how to a good job of that would be the value in the exercise. I don't consider it a waste of time if someone does not agree with...

I don't think you understand my meaning by " hurling fireballs of judgment upon the heads of all those who disagree with us." This is like when one suggests that those who don't agree with our view will be burned up like the chaff when Jesus comes back. Saying I don't agree with everything...

And I should add that I have a theory, but I have to be willing to admit it if I discover that my theory cannot be supported or is wrong. That is the whole purpose of the exercise. Hermeneutics is the science and art of interpretation. If I discover that I was wrong about my interpretation...

And so in following up with my previous reply to this post I would be interested in discussing the 1 Cor 11 text in an effort to ascertain authorial intent. It will probably be a long thread and many will just blast their opinions having not read my previous posts about exegesis but some of us...

That is a very good response and I appreciate your sincere desire to understand scriptures that have a history of differences of interpretation among Christians world wide throughout the history of the church. I believe that it is is edifying to exegete the text in 1 Corinthians 11 using...

You got all that from this?.... 2Now I praise youA because you remember me in everything and hold fast to the traditionsa just as I deliveredb them to you. 3But I want you to know that Christ is the heada of every man, and the man is the head of the woman,a b and God is the head of Christ.c...

Proverbs 21:15 Justice is a joy to the godly, but it terrifies evildoers.

The Greek Ecclesia is translated as both assembly and church in KJV and other translations depending on the verse. So since we don't actually say Ecclesia in English, (though I did have a friend tattoo it across his chest for some reason) but instead say church what are we talking about? The...

Church = A called out assembly; Called out of the world to assemble together and serve God and Christ together, praying, worshipping, teaching, serving in love, living life together and provoke unto love and good works and being witnesses together of the resurrection of Jesus Christ as we share...

Preach Jesus, get converts, meet regularly, organize them into a local fellowship, teach them, set up some basic leadership, and repeat.

You will not find a single conservative commentator before 1900 who had any reservations about the Authorized Version. Before 1900 many scholars wrote. By Scholar I am referring to those who learned the Hebrew and Greek. And they often included their own translation of a text in a commentary...

Thanks bro. I'm a fan!

At the risk of opening up a can of worms I have not intention of cleaning up, and only for the sake of answering the previous question... Translating from the manuscripts in extant into another language is a science not a hoax. Anyone can do it if they take the time to learn the languages. If...

Investigate the reasonings given by Greek Scholars who write about it. They explain which manuscripts are involved, if there are variants, why they trust one over the other, or if it is a matter of language syntax they explain that as well. Then based on all that information you can decide...

But if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God. Logic suggests that the custom is one of doing something, and not that of not doing something. Also, using the rule of hermeneutics of theological context, and reading everything that Paul so...

There are a dozen churches in several mile radius that I would not be interested in. They have old beautiful stone buildings but are full of dead religious ceremony where people don't even know what it means to be born again. I get it. But that does not mean I have to stay home. There are...
