I suppose you are familiar with Paul's teaching on the subject ( 1 Tim. 2:12; 1 Cor. 14:35). In the sense that any disobedience to instructions in the Word is sin; I would say yes to that subject.
The more important thing to note; is the overwhelming number of women who hold that position end up having terrible doctrine; which exposes the root of the problem ( 1 Sam. 15:23). It is interesting noting Saul as He tried his own hand at offering a sacrifice; which was not for him but the priest to do back in chapter 13. He then tried to save the cattle for the priests to sacrifice but disobeyed the command. The attitude of rebellion tends to be in a "me" centered focus of many of today's female prosperity preachers. There are others who call themselves apostles (I'll leave namas out of it) who may be very attractive but are suspect at best as to having valid gifts.
There also can be the possibility (although I am unaware of any) that a woman who is genuinely gifted is attempting something in a type of ministry she is called to do elsewhere. There are brilliant authors out there who write about end times; spiritual warfare and other topics. There are women who undoubtably are gifted at teaching and will be a blessing ministering to other women or children. Also of course there is edifying the Body of Christ; as Paul mentioned in Corinthians in regard to women praying and prophesying (but with proper head covering). There are; of course many women mentioned by Paul himself who were a blessing to him; as well as the Lord Himself sometimes being the most faithful until the end.
Also; hypothetically; there could be a case where no men appear to be qualified for the job. Of course if it is all or mostly women; they could have their own fellowship. We need to trust God's ways when it comes to ministry; and that He will send someone in His timing. There seems to be no problem with individuals meeting and men and women participating in discussion.
Well Alex, I've read all that before, but it still doesn't answer the question using Exodus 4:5, 'when did the God OF Abraham, Isaac & Jacob become, My Name IS Abraham, Isaac & Jacob'? The point I'm making, & I hope you can see it, is that once we change a Scripture, whether its wording or meaning, then everything we might build on that Scripture will be faulty. So, why did you make that change? What base (or, rule of interpretation) do you use to alter the wording & meaning of Scripture? If we can find that God's Name IS Abraham, Isaac & Jacob, then we might have room to consider your other thoughts. Let us not attempt to re-write God's Word to suit our theology.
in the new testament, Paul wrote letters addressed to "Lidia" and "Mary", as leading disciples. Judges, in the old testament, has Deborah a woman and great judge.
The beginning of John; much like Romans 1 indicates the Creation of God. However; the true light (God or Christ Himself) is NOT known in man's darkened; sinful state despite the evidences seen externally (v. 4-5). Verses 9 through 11 discuss Christ coming; not being known by His creation OR His chosen people. Verse 13 gives the first of a myriad of indications of God's election of who is saved; as it is not ultimately determined by the will of man. The rest of the chapter shows how Christ was supernaturally revealed to John the Baptist; and how He began to choose the 12 apostles who would someday judge the 12 tribes of Israel ( Matt. 19:28; also Rev. 4:10 showing O.T. descendants of Jacob as other 12 most likely).
John 2: This chapter illustrates how Christ would only be understood by those who are His own; even if it doesn't state anything directly. There were certain things to be revealed in its time; hence the miracle of the water to wine was perhaps a sort of local affair; and we see that there is no salvation message here; or any healings as is seen after He officially started His ministry after being tempted by the Devil for 40 days. ( Luke 4:2; Mark 1:12). This is NOT mentioned in John. A rare event when the disciples actually knew Christ was fulfilling prophecy without rather torturous explanations on His part was in verse 17 when they understood the prophecy of the zeal of His house. Verse 19 is the first of many verses hiding a meaning from the Pharisees as to what the Temple would be that was destroyed and would rise in 3 days (His body). The disciples wouldn't get it until after the Resurrection. This shows that Christ had to reveal Himself as God in the flesh only to those God chose to do so ( Matthew 16:17). We need also to see how ALL of Christ's ministry was an example of following God's plan; and speaking only His words as is seen in John 8:38 and other passages. He expounds on hidden truths to His own.
I agree, Jesus never told a lie. In fact, it is impossible for Him to lie, for Jesus Himself is truth. And yes, those verses you list are pretty clear. Thank you!
I agree that using words that are not in the bible can complicate the scripture, but that is not always the case. The problem is when we use words that are in total opposite of what the scriptures teach, not necessarily the words we use. For instance, we use the word rapture when the bible never uses that word.
You mention that "It is simpler to use the Son of God and ponder what that means," but I think even that term can complicate things with so many believers today, and it does because the phrase Son of God meant something different to the Jewish mind when Jesus spoke those words than it does to some of us today.
That's why some people today say "How can Jesus be God when the bible says He's the Son of God. Well, that phrase "Son of God" to the Jews was equivalent to saying you are God, and Jesus made that claim to be the Son of God. And the Jews took up stones to kill Him for making Himself God.
Some see the word Son and they misapply the word. Jesus is not a Son by birth. The word Son when applied to Jesus is the word HUIOS. The other word for son, which means a son by birth is the word TEKNON. The word TEKNON is never applied to Jesus.
So when I see Jesus making the claim to be the Son of God, I believe He meant the same thing that those Jews understood Him to be saying. I believe He was making Himself equal with God, and claiming to be God. The only difference would be that I would not accuse Him of blasphemy for His claim as the Jews did.
Passages in Romans 10 shows great importance in preaching it.
vs 8) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, WHICH WE PREACH;
vs 14) How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and HOW SHALL THEY HEAR WITHOUT A PREACHER?
vs 15) AND HOW SHALL THEY PREACH, EXCEPT THEY BE SENT? as it is written, HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THEM THAT PREACH THE GOSPEL OF PEACE, AND BRING GLAD TIDINGS OF GOOD THINGS!
Jesus said Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15.
This same group false theology suggests there's no hell or Satan and everyone goes to heaven so even the word salvation is pointless because there is nothing to be saved from. So the death of Christ doesn't display the love of God.
John 3:16 would have to be an error!
The wide gate in Matthew 7:13 doesn't exist.
There's no consequences to sin, no reward for righteous living by the Spirit.
Those who denied Christ, Hate God, murderer ect... And those who love God will sit down with judas, Paul, Peter, Putin, Hitler and sit down at the marriage supper. So our preaching is in vain.
So why do they earnestly stand in our way? They pretend to be beside you when talking about the trinity but when you mention Faith, Believe, ect.. in regards to salvation they come unglued! Why do they bother if whether you believe or not according to them it doesn't matter? That they won't answer.
They stand in the way when it shouldn't matter to them unless the spirit in them is to deceive!
And This doctrine "Salvation by works is by that same Spirit. As seen in Galatians 3:1 and many other verses.
Chris let me give ya my take on Father Abraham he is a type O Father God that wants Children....Just as Father Abraham wanted to be multiplied as the sands of the seas...Its just prophetc that Father God is gonna be multiplied as the stars of Heaven...Thats y the sower of the GOOD SEED wants to sow his Precious seed in Humanity....That All the world might birth a baby Christ which is the H.G...The Son of MAN...As that which is born of the spirit is Spriit...An Israel of God that cannot sin simply b/c they are born of God...They are Gods,...As to whom the WOrd came it made them Gods...So we see that JESUS can reproduce himself in Humanity...Thats y he always refers to himself as the Son of Man...Thus we see thats its Christ who sows that good seed in humanity thus he is the Father of the Children...Spirits the H.G. Many ...Thats y i always said that Jesus is the FATHER of the H.G...Simply b/c the H.G. cannot be born without his seed planted in our hearts....Thats y he has to know US...Then he is GLORIFIED simply b/c he has multiplied himself in Humanity...Thats y he is saying whosoever receiveth one such Child in my name receiveth me...Jesus plainly tells us Satan is the Father of the tares b/c he sows the tares...Which means that Christ is the Father of the wheat b/c he sows the wheat....And the wheat is a Baby Christ the H.G. The Granson...simply b/c the Sower of that good seed is Jesus the Bridegroom....Even in the natural the bridegroom is always the FATHER of the Child.
.....When Jesus breathe on them they received the H.G....But They had to go thru a gestation period....He said b/c i have spoken these words ( his seeds ) John 16 : 6 ...Sorrows have filled your hearts...When a woman is in travail she has SORROWS but after the Child comes her SORROWS are turned into Joy...His breath was his word which is his seed....She brought forth aman child that is gonna rule all nations....The Woman in Rev 12 is Pregnant b/c of his seed, His Breath..Her Child is the H.G.
GOD made coats of skin to cover their flesh because they were dying instantly. THEY WERE RAW FLESH. the coats of skin covered the flesh. that outer skin is a protection for the flesh if the skin is removed from the flesh the the body will die instantly no if or ands about it. example if you get BURNED the DOCTOR will have to draft skin from other parts of your body to cover the damaged part. if not the damaged part will develop infection and your time on earth will be cut short. skin to cover the flesh, layer 2 and 3. third degree burns is almost detrimental. EVEN the doctor doesn't mean you any good; lights out. the only chance you have is JESUS. YOU BETTER MAKE SURE YOU GOT HIM BEFORE YOU LEAVE THIS EARTH...PEACE my friend keep on keeping on. GENESIS 3:21 KJV BIBLE.
PEACE.. THE TREE OF GOOD AND EVIL WAS NOT AN APPLE.. As WE ARE TOLD. the eating of the tree of good and evil is a LIE and they ate of the tree, which is to say they believe that Lie. then sin became on all mankind. therefore the only way back to the GARDEN OF EDEN is by JESUS THE CHRIST. that is to say the word of GOD in a earthly tabernacle known as FLESH. NOW all have a right to the tree of life through the word of GOD from GOD who is GOD'S voice or (word) from heaven. peace my brother...
NIV apparently indicates that her "womb will miscarry" while other versions seem to indicate just a physical condition making childbirth impossible. In either case; after that point physical malady occurs. This penalty is no more severe than that of David when he sinned committing adultery with Bathsheeba then summarily sending her husband Uriah to his death deliberately being put on the front lines of battle. ( 2 Samuel 12; also see Psalm 51). The sin of adultery was a capital offense as well as murder so only the grace of God could supersede this. In the case of the woman mentioned in Numbers; there was no proof corroborated beyond the husband's suspicions (2 or more witnesses were needed to enact punishment). Therefore; the Lord used this method to determine supernaturally guilt or innocence. We see with David's child as well as in this hypothetical case that surely occurred with real life examples that a child would die as the result of God's judgment for behavior of someone else. This is different than man's arbitrary decision to terminate life and peculiar to the Jews. The soul of the child was never in question here; but it shows how the sin of one can affect others; and we can't pretend to understand all of God's ways.
Again; this showed the seriousness of God's covenant marriage relationship. It says nothing of how someone not engaged who commits fornication would be treated; other scriptures state that a man should marry a virgin in that instance; and there are other verses that say he must stay married if he finds nothing appealing in a wife (we see Leah having more kids to prove that point). Since adultery was a capital punishment; then by default sadly if she was already conceiving a child it would become part of the "collateral damage".
We should see from this the seriousness of marriage and how it holds the framework of a society together. God used this concept of a Theocracy with His chosen people in that dispensation.
I believe all of those scriptures that Christ is one with God and the Father is in the Son. I also believe that we are one in God and Jesus, but we do not exchange names with them and call ourselves God or Jesus. Some verses ... John 17:21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be (one in us): that the world may believe that thou hast sent me." I think when we use words that the Bible does not use it can complicate the scripture. Example: God the Son or God in the flesh. It is simpler to use the Son of God and ponder what that means. 2 Cor. 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. God dwells in us and walks in us, but we don't call ourselves "God in the flesh" just because he is in our flesh. Maybe a relevant point to consider concerning this topic is if we believe Jesus could have sinned.
Thanks Alex for your response. If I could nail down a few things.
a. "a baby Christ which is the H.G"; "That cannot speak for a while simply b/c he is an infant". So are you saying that we can't receive the Holy Ghost & being born again because He (the Spirit) is still an infant? So when are we born again? If we can't be born again now, how do you account for spiritual gifts, power to live for God, a longing to be with Him? A carnal man without the Spirit cannot enjoy these things nor desire them - they are foolishness to him.
b. can you give me a reference where God told Moses that His Name was Abraham, Isaac & Jacob? I only see references in my Bible such as Exodus 4:5, "That they may believe that the LORD God OF their fathers, the God OF Abraham, the God OF Isaac, and the God OF Jacob, hath appeared unto thee?" They never speak of God's Name being what you state, but that God is the God OF
c. I know that "the night cometh, when no man can work", which means we need to do God's Work while it is still 'day'. But my point was, why should the Gospel be preached NOW, when, as you believe, that the day will come when all men will bow down to the Lord, those alive & those who have died? If God has determined that all will be saved one day, why is there a need to share the Gospel with the unsaved - they're going to be saved anyway regardless whether they know anything about Jesus' Sacrifice or not, or whether they have given any regard to their sinful state or not?
1 Thessalonians 3:10. I prayed and re-read the Bible. 2 Timothy 2:15. Matthew 24:4-5. If you are guided by the Holy Spirit of God, Colossians 2:2-3. Grow in grace and Charity 2 Peter 3:18; 1 Corinthians 13:4-9. Colossians 3:14. Many of you 2 Timothy 3:10. Galatians 6:6. Galatians 6:10. All scriptures tie out-Old Testament and New Testament. God directed my paths to be a very honest Corporate Auditor on earth to testify that the Bible is true and indeed cannot lie. Men lie. Every word in KJV Bible you can follow stories upon stories for us to know and learn what to do. There is no man can pervert the word of God, except you are lost. I pray that all be saved. Read the Bible and be guided by the Holy Spirit; Cover to cover are blessed and believe 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. All scriptures directed in the end to The blood of Jesus Christ for the world salvation. 1 Thessalonians 5:21-22
Revelation 3:2. Thank you for the opportunities to communicate through written comments to some of you. Thank you for the website Agape.
Hiya Chris GM...Sorry for taking so long to answer you... i just now noticed your reply...Sorry again....OK ...Chris God wants perfect praise thats the only way he will recieve any thing from man is by man being bornagain of an incorruptible seed...Outa of the mouths of babes and Sucklings thou has Perfected Praise....We are are gonna have a baby Christ which is the H.G...As that which is born of the spirit is spirit....Thats our new innerman the H.G. That cannot speak for a while simply b/c he is an infant...Remember Jesus said when he the spirit of truth is come he wd not speak of himself...Simply b/c he is a spiritual infant
.....Chris God cd not have told Moses that his name was Abraham Issac and Jacob and my memorial to all generations...If his Kingdom were a not a Abrahamic Type Trinity....When Abraham offered up his only son Issac it points to God offering up his son Jesus...Infact the ram caught in the thicket by his horns was a type of Christ and his crown of thorns....A 5 yr old can see this. So with this in mind we see that Gods name is indeed Abraham Issac and Jacob...FATHER SON AND GRANSON like Abraham Isaac Jacob...Just as Issac was the Child of Promise in the O.T....Now in the N.T. Its Christ that is the Child of Promise...Thus Jacob is a type of the H.G. the 3 rd person....That heavenly Jacob that Isaiah writes about in 49 is a spritual Jacob An Israel of God that is gonna be multiplied as the stars of Heaven...A spritual ppl that are gonna be born in humanity the H.G..The Children of Promise the multiplication of very God in Humanity via the seed of the sower.
....Christ you asked y should we preach now if everybody is gonna be saved....Chris ya gotta remember what Jesus said I am the light of the world BUT the NITE comes when no man can work....Impling a time of darkness.. That great falling away...The day of the lord cannot come till there 1st come a great falling away and that man of sin be revealed....Nothin can be done till the book is open.
I was looking into that today. You're not the only one wondering about marriage, sex and babies, in heaven.
Babies born now, to unsaved mothers; will be raptured. Not the mother. God will be their Father. That's just the way it is.
If you read what is to come, upon the earth: in 2 Peter 3
You can make an informed choice. It's burning now, but it's being sold to us as GLOBAL WARMING. The earth is heating up for the End of Time. Carefully and slowly read that chapter.
We should desire to go to heaven, to be together with children and family of course. But Most importantly, to be with our Savior, Jesus.
Now is the time to be born again; marry and have your babies.
The way I understand it, only humans who choose to go through the Tribulation, followed by the Great Tribulation (when Antichrist will murder anyone who does not have his mark in their hand or forehead) will be slaughtered. There will be no food. No fresh water. It will be poisoned by destroyed nuclear reactors.
So you'd have to survive all that and Armageddon to have Jesus take you to heaven IF you had received Him to be your Savior. If you miss the rapture, you have to make it through the destruction of earths inhabitants, to make it to heaven to be able to bear children.
You're not the only one asking this question. There is a Tribulation Movie you can watch on YouTube:
"Blesson Tribulation movie"
You'd have to live through the Entire book of Revelation to be a candidate for marriage & motherhood in heaven. Have you read it through?
Acts 20 : 28 Feed the Church of God that he has purchased with his own Blood....The redemption of Humanity wd be of no effect unless Jesus was God the Son....Man's Blood cd not atone for sins PERIOD....All men carried the stain and the spot of Adam....There was none righteous no not one....Behold the lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world.....The blood of God...Jesus....As he was the LIVING WORD made flesh and blood.
I'm probably not going to answer this Biblically enough. If you have a destination in mind_you buy a ticket and go stand on the train platform for boarding.
If we wait to do something or respond; until "we feel like it", the moment can completely pass by us.
No one is guaranteed tomorrow. Best to move on it when it today. " Today if you hear My Voice"
23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised)
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching
26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
Comment: in verse 25 we see the reason to attend church. To encourage each other, to pray together. Some people come in the doors beat up by life that week. This is our chance to please the Lord by being obedient to these Bible verses. One arm squeeze can mean a lot to someone; it says "I care."
Social media doesn't offer that. It's everyone at home typing on a keyboard. I don't group this website into that media. We're typing yes, but we are genuinely interested in helping others with spiritual questions or just in need of prayer.
The more important thing to note; is the overwhelming number of women who hold that position end up having terrible doctrine; which exposes the root of the problem ( 1 Sam. 15:23). It is interesting noting Saul as He tried his own hand at offering a sacrifice; which was not for him but the priest to do back in chapter 13.

Yes, without the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ, we would have no hope!
I agree, Jesus never told a lie. In fact, it is impossible for Him to lie, for Jesus Himself is truth. And yes, those verses you list are pretty clear. Thank you!
Thank you. Jesus was the perfect sacrifice, no spot, no blemish!
I agree that using words that are not in the bible can complicate the scripture, but that is not always the case. The problem is when we use words that are in total opposite of what the scriptures teach, not necessarily the words we use. For instance, we use the word rapture when the bible never uses that word.

I read your comment, you believe we are one with The Father and the Son John 17:21; but you don't believe we exchange names.
Are we the bride (the wife) of our HUSBAND (Christ)?
Does the WIFE not always take the NAME OF HER HUSBAND?
Revelation 3:12...and I (CHRIST) will write upon him (my wife) the NAME OF MY GOD ......and I will write upon him My NAME.
God Bless You.
Is the Gospel necessary? Absolutely!
However some that feast with us don't think so.
Passages in Romans 10 shows great importance in preaching it.
vs 8) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, WHICH WE PREACH;

This same group false theology suggests there's no hell or Satan and everyone goes to heaven so even the word salvation is pointless because there is nothing to be saved from. So the death of Christ doesn't display the love of God.

The sum of it all.
God had the Gospel in mind before the foundation of the world,
Jesus Christ the Cornerstone and
the Apostles layed the foundation.
see here
Ephesians 2:19-22.
We are to build upon with precious stone and the blueprint was in God's hand before the foundation of the world.
see here
1 Corinthians 3:10-12.
Here you have all of what's involved in this building mentioned in Ephesians 2:21.
God had the blueprint in his hand before the world began.
God bless

.....Chris God cd not have told Moses that his name was Abraham Issac and Jacob and my memorial to all generations...If his Kingdom were a not a Abrahamic Type Trinity....When Abraham offered up his only son Issac it points to God offering up his son Jesus...Infact the ram caught in the thicket by his horns was a type of Christ and his crown of thorns....A 5 yr old can see this. So with this in mind we see that Gods name is indeed Abraham Issac and Jacob...FATHER SON AND GRANSON like Abraham Isaac Jacob...Just as Issac was the Child of Promise in the O.T....Now in the N.T. Its Christ that is the Child of Promise...Thus Jacob is a type of the H.G. the 3 rd person....That heavenly Jacob that Isaiah writes about in 49 is a spritual Jacob An Israel of God that is gonna be multiplied as the stars of Heaven...A spritual ppl that are gonna be born in humanity the H.G..The Children of Promise the multiplication of very God in Humanity via the seed of the sower.
....Christ you asked y should we preach now if everybody is gonna be saved....Chris ya gotta remember what Jesus said I am the light of the world BUT the NITE comes when no man can work....Impling a time of darkness.. That great falling away...The day of the lord cannot come till there 1st come a great falling away and that man of sin be revealed....Nothin can be done till the book is open.
Babies born now, to unsaved mothers; will be raptured. Not the mother. God will be their Father. That's just the way it is.
If you read what is to come, upon the earth: in 2 Peter 3
You can make an informed choice. It's burning now, but it's being sold to us as GLOBAL WARMING. The earth is heating up for the End of Time. Carefully and slowly read that chapter.
We should desire to go to heaven, to be together with children and family of course. But Most importantly, to be with our Savior, Jesus.
Now is the time to be born again; marry and have your babies.
The way I understand it, only humans who choose to go through the Tribulation, followed by the Great Tribulation (when Antichrist will murder anyone who does not have his mark in their hand or forehead) will be slaughtered. There will be no food. No fresh water. It will be poisoned by destroyed nuclear reactors.
So you'd have to survive all that and Armageddon to have Jesus take you to heaven IF you had received Him to be your Savior. If you miss the rapture, you have to make it through the destruction of earths inhabitants, to make it to heaven to be able to bear children.
You're not the only one asking this question. There is a Tribulation Movie you can watch on YouTube:
"Blesson Tribulation movie"
You'd have to live through the Entire book of Revelation to be a candidate for marriage & motherhood in heaven. Have you read it through?
If we wait to do something or respond; until "we feel like it", the moment can completely pass by us.
No one is guaranteed tomorrow. Best to move on it when it today. " Today if you hear My Voice"
23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised)
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching
26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
Comment: in verse 25 we see the reason to attend church. To encourage each other, to pray together. Some people come in the doors beat up by life that week. This is our chance to please the Lord by being obedient to these Bible verses. One arm squeeze can mean a lot to someone; it says "I care."
Social media doesn't offer that. It's everyone at home typing on a keyboard. I don't group this website into that media. We're typing yes, but we are genuinely interested in helping others with spiritual questions or just in need of prayer.
