Explain 1 Corinthians 14:34-35

Stephen Gola on 1 Corinthians 14:34-35: "Let women keep silent. . ." Paul was responding to questions from the Corinthians. Paul's assertion (and Christ's) is that "the Spirit is given to every man." The Greek word for "man" here meaning humans-both genders-"there is neither male nor female: for you are all one in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:28). Statements in 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 never ORIGINATED with Paul. Paul repeated them to the Corinthians in disbelief. The following word in the Greek is "WHAT?" an exclamation of absurdity. Paul said that they WERE NOT commands from the Lord but "ignorance" Christ taught that the women and men are both the church of Christ.

Obedient To An Angry Husband

He throws a tantrum (slamming things around, throwing things) in such a furious rage (a dish wasn't washed) and my reaction is to make sure the entire house is clean because I fear the next outburst. Is that "submission" or "survival"? I think it's the latter. I don't feel like I'm doing it for love but in order to keep peace. He's so volatile... but you'd never know it to see him teach Sunday school... help!

Why Do So Many Christians Lie

I worked in public alternative education run by "Christians." There were no grade-level texts, my books / supplies were stolen by staff, attendance was falsified, and grant funding used for other puposes. A student was resisting an abortion, I sent her to the principal who was very publically against abortion. I heard him laugh about her abortion as "I guess she changed her mind." All of this done under the Name of Christ. Rather than complain I kept quiet for fear of hurting the cause of Christ. Someone anonymously compained about some of these things. The "Christians" gossiped and said it was me. I did not complain. I am having trouble finding another job, and I would appreciate prayer.

Rate The President
	The Bible says that God has set the rulers in authority over us, and that we are to pray for those in power. Further it says that if any man seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God I Cr 11:16 KJV As Christians we should seek to glorify God in our actions and words. Scripture should be our guide. II Titus 3:16 NIV

Born-Again Single Women Exist
	yes we are there and at this time I'm looking for a born again Christian mana for a seriouse relationship the marriage. If you are looking for peace, there is a way to balance your life. No one can be perfect, or have a perfect life. But every one of us has the opportunity to experience perfect grace through a personal relationship with God through His Son, Jesus Christ.

Should Christians Smoke

People place too much on smoking and hardly none on other fleshly pleasures. Overeating, or not eating nourishing foods, eating anything that is bad for you (ie:processed food) The list goes on of what is bad for you. One Christian was telling another Christian how smoking is a sin, yet didn't consider her own overweight body. Smoking is a bad habit not easy to break as is all other habits. Chewing your fingernails, playing with your hair, watching too much television, etc. It is what goes out of our hearts that defiles us, not what goes in our mouth is what Jesus said. Eating with unwashed hands is not a sin. And look at what germs could be on unwashed hands.

How To Properly Spank My Kids
	Hi, well with your two boys i certainly think they are old enough for a proper spanking, i think hand should be enough for the 3yr old but maybe a wooden spoon or something similar for the 5yr old, and both should have their pants and underwear pulled down or removed, spankings should always be given on the bare bottom as far as im concerned.

Will We Know People In Heaven
	I do believe that we will know our loved ones when we get to heaven. Noone can convince me otherwise. But, the greatest of all will be seeing the face of Jesus. I can't wait!

God Wakes Me Up
	Don't under estimate God. He can do anything, anything at all. He's appeared to me in the night - waking me up. Just because we haven't experienced something someone else has, who are we to say God won't do this or do that. God will not be understood by man. Foolish is the man who thinks he can understand Him and his ways.

Rapture Of The Church
	Honesty, I don't think any of you can dogmatically say with certainty what will happen. The only thing we know for sure is Jesus will come again. Bottom line.... are you ready?

Sin Not To Go To Church

because some man went to seminary school he can stand up and preach to other believers. People in church are unfriendly/judgmental. I have been to several churches they are cliquish/dont reach out, a bunch of tradition started by man. have neighbors come over for homechurch. one church was so politically correct the pastor did not want to offend anyone he wouldnt preach on Revelation. the deacons are mean/hateful men that wont talk to people that are not at their income level. The only church I actually liked/thought the pastor was so godly he left his wife/3 children ran off w/another woman. Church today is nothing like the church in Biblical times. Why would I follow some pastor, when I have access to everything he has, Jesus and the Bible

Spanking A 13-Year Old

We are a god-fearing family who practice love AND discipline, when a child errs they must know that they have done wrong, we only paddle the 2 eldest (teens) in a firm and correct manner, the 2 younger ones we only spank with the hand. The paddle does tend to focust the childs mind sharply when applied in the correct manner, it works, never have to use the paddle more than twice on the same child per month.

My Husband Doesn't Love Me

I completely understand what you are saying. I thought that when we got married we were supposed to love and care for eachother as we care for ourselves. But for the last four years things have spiraled out of control. My husband has been in jail for hitting me, he abuses alcohol some days more than others. I am lost I don't know what to do. I love him enough to stay with him, because our relationship can work. But I'm to the point I'm considering leaving. I feel that everyone will see me as the "bad" person for trying to better my life. But I have to do what's best for me.

Can I Divorce For Abandonment
	Wow... I'm not alone. This is happening way to often I see. What is wrong with the men of the church? I'm still mortified and miss my husband more than I could miss my own two legs. I would have given them up to keep him. I truly believe I love him too much, even still.

Am I A Prophet Of God

It is out of order to interrupt an orderly meeting, especially a pastoral one. God doesn't interrupt himself. If you are a prophet of God, you need to learn that you can wait to speak because the scripture teaches that "And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets." (1 Corinthians 14:32 This means you can hold it until the another time to tell it. Since prophets are spontaneous, God tells us we can keep it until another time.

What Should I Do

My Pastor said the Bible is clear about divorce/remarriage. You are able to divorce/remarry if the spouse committed fornication. In your case, no intimacy in a year leads me to believe he has his needs met elsewhere. Do you know for sure? Hire a PI and find out the truth. Stop being a victim Laurie. Even is you stay in this Godless union, pray for wisdom and TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF FIRST because your husband does not love you like Christ loves the church. Seek help with or without him and protect yourself.
