Featured A Common Mistake In Christian Marriages.

Let's review the actual words of scripture, and the actual words I wrote in response to your excellent questions. This would be for the sake of parsing out the difference between words and what human imagination would want to insert between the words.

Have you aver observed anyone who compulsively "reads in between the lines" without first reading the lines themselves ... ? I have quite often. Perhaps just for fun and giggles you might look for and identify a few of your friends and acquantances who do that. Of course you might want to refrain from saying anything about it to them, but just smile and be "nice" so that they do not get upset and afraid. And, please remember here I am not teaching you anything. I am just being a source for you to experience:

1.) Information.
2.) Suggestions.
3.) Chatty notions.
4.) A gentle reminder.
5.) A possible insight into human thought processes.
6.) An opportunity to build a relationship with God's Word.

If you do not like any of this, please remember I will not be going to Hell because of your aversive response. As well, if you do indeed like what I am doing here for you, then God will reward me in Heaven for helping to minister to The Body of Christ. Don't we worship and serve a Great God? Yes, We do!

I did not say your words and relationship with your son have "absolutely no effect" on his Faith. I did say in effect his Faith and eternal relationship with God is between God and him. Try not to exaggerate. Thank you.

Yes, Deuteronomy, Proverbs, and Ephesians do give you instructions for your son's upbringing in The Lord, but your son's Salvation is apart from you and your effects upon him. There is no place in Scripture which says a father can ruin the appointed Salvation of any child. God bless your mind and your heart as you learn to accept God's Word for today.

Regarding a wife who has a husband in sin, Apostle Peter clearly teaches in Ch. 3 Vss. 1-2 KJV:

"Ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that is any obey not the word, they also without the word be won by the behavior of the wives; while they behold your chaste behavior coupled with fear."

Does this help you to understand how to keep from railing against or bossily controlling your husband when he is not perfectly obedient to God? It should. Praise the Lord for His advice to wives which is clear and needs no modification.

Apparently, Apostle Paul had not yet corrected Priscilla about teaching men. I am sure people were praying for Priscilla as she grew in The Lord. Isn't The Body precious as it loves those in service to God? Isn't God Gracious not to judge Priscilla within Scripture, but rather let her move towards maturity as she was able to accept it? God is so Gracious, isn't He?

I love your questions and willingness to understand Scripture. Thanks for sharing.

 

Do you recommend that I remain silent before my spouse as Apostle Paul specifies in I Timothy Ch. 2?

Remember, I have "interpreted" no Scripture because it is not possible to do so. "Interpretation" of Scripture is never spoken of in Scripture. Check for yourself, rather than believe what I just said. Men need to be the ones to verify Truth.

Okay? I am waiting for your authoritative answer and loving response with Godly surety and exquisite relevance. Thank you in advance.

Praise God for the Real Men in His Body who can stand up and deliver what they claim to be able to do as men. Halluleujah.

 

Yes, Thank you Ann.

Neither Deborah or Huldah led anyone. They merely spoke.

Of course, even if Deborah and Huldah could be correctly called "leaders," they would represent extreme exceptions, and not would be normative for all Christian women. Let's pray here that the men will attain Godly Wisdom regarding these and other fairly easy issues:

"Father YWHW, Ann and I come before your Throne to petition that the men in this Forum would receive from you your Godly Wisdom in all their postings, and that they would easily see any error of their thoughts. Please cleanse them of chatty and popularized "Churchy Sounding Ideas" which are not found in Scripture. thank you Precious Lord for your promise to give your Wisdom as recorded for us in Jmaes 1:5.

Bless your Name today and forever. In Jesus Name we request this, Amen."

 

Yes. Perhaps Paul was suffering from head trauma after all of his beatings. Or, perhaps a minor stroke.

Let's go ahead and assume Priscilla was indeed qualified and commissioned to teach men. Was she an extreme exception for women? Or, was she normative for today's women? Your answer with Wisdom and clarity would be ... ? (Hint: make a decision. Lol.)

Always ready to be a "helper." Praise God for His Loving Power and Wisdom unto the weakest vessels. Lol.

 

What does "keeping the peace in the local church" have to do with following God's Word in I Timothy Ch. 2?

Remember, The World tries to "relate everything to everything" in order to find "reasons" to justify ignoring the specificity of God's Written Word for us today. We are to be in The World, but not of The World.
