    Respect will come naturally?

    If that were the case, then Titus 2:4 would not be in the Bible. 2 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: 2 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience. 3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not...

    Respect will come naturally?

    I'm not sure what you mean. The quote, by Chuck Swindoll. assumes that all wives are in a state of being ready and willing to submit if husbands meet the condition of being "the right kind of head".

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    Yes, we have absolute free will. Proverbs 16:9 A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps. Meaning? You decide what you want to do, the path you want to take, or what you want to believe, but God controls the circumstances and the consequences. For the Calvinists: That...

    The word defraud in this context means to cheat somebody out of what belongs to them. It's a huge factor in destroying marriages. So is adultery. No, I don't know what your little comment about "considering you suspect" is about but I have done neither, if that's what you're implying. And if...

    Respect will come naturally?

    1 Peter 3, Colossians 3, 1 Corinthians 7, and Ephesians 5 all teach the responsibilities of both Husbands and Wives. But the one I will look at, right now, is Titus 2. The preacher's responsibilities are in red, the women's in purple and the men's in blue. Titus 2 But speak thou the things...

    Respect will come naturally?

    This is not about placing blame on women, or men for that matter. it's about the tradition, of placing all of the blame and responsibility on one spouse; namely men, husbands and fathers, when the Bible clearly does not. The world/world system already does that: the "crazy" is found in...

    Respect will come naturally?

    Mem, For several decades now, the "world" has propagated "women's lib", "free love", "feminism", and now "drag queen story times" and "transgenders" going into women's bathrooms and competing in women's sports. You know, ideas that help destroy the family. They taught everyone that women were...

    Respect will come naturally?

    My Wife's parents passed away a few years ago. I recall my wife mentioning to me how her mom had told her that they got along fine when they were alone but, when the kids(grown kids) came over, the whole tone changed and they were at odds with each other; there was conflict. I recall, many...

    Churches teach bible theology but not how to apply it

    Maybe discipleship? Spending time with new/young believers outside the church, and letting them see your "walk" instead of just your "talk" would greatly integrate theology into real life. I've only attended two churches, since I was saved, but as a young Christian, I found this sorely lacking...

    Is this fish good?

    Godly older women are the most qualified to teach "younger women". At least that's what the Bible indicates.

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will? Proverbs 16:9 A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps. I take that to mean that we decide what action or path to take. But the Lord controls the circumstances surrounding and consequences of our actions.

    Yes, all women should teach........ Titus 2: 2 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: 2 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience. 3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given...

    As in the days of Noah... ALL flesh had CORRUPTED itself

    Exactly, So, again, I ask; why do people assume that the beings called "sons of God." which were mentioned as coming "before the lord", were "in Heaven" and were "before the throne" when the Book of Job mentions neither "Heaven" nor "throne" in the account?

    As in the days of Noah... ALL flesh had CORRUPTED itself

    My only point was that "before the Lord" does not have to be done "in Heaven". Hence Abraham, Moses, and "Nimrod" were "before the Lord" on terra firma.

    As in the days of Noah... ALL flesh had CORRUPTED itself

    Also, the King James never even mentions a "throne". It only says they came "before the Lord" In other places it says "Abraham stood "before the Lord". Moses stood "before the Lord" and David danced "before the Lord". So, why not, the same in the book of Job: some believers came "before the...

    As in the days of Noah... ALL flesh had CORRUPTED itself

    Genesis 5 KJV "This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;" That word "generations" is speaking of what/who Adam "generated" or "produced". Adam's "generations" were his progeny. Next chapter; Genesis 6:9 KJV "These are...

    Here's another piece of scripture that seems to be skimmed over.... 31 The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him. These are the words of a wise king, a king who HONORS his mother, and honors her wise words. 2 What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son...

    ................. From the 1:07 to the 1:18 mark he says the reason she's a rebel because she's following a rebel", then there is a pause with lots of clapping from the audience. Do you reckon there would be all that clapping if he actually was "speaking the things which become sound doctrine"...

    Does it help?

    Exactly. The Book Of Titus for instance, chapter 2, outlines the responsibilities of both men and women, speaking to both at the same time. In every other NT exhortation I have read, whether it be Paul or Peter, it's done the same way: it speaks to both the wives and the husbands at the same...
