So it would seem that on the basis of your arguments, that a woman could also be the leader in the home (as a servant of her husband and children). But Paul explicitly states that she is to be in submission to her husband. Nowhere does Paul state that a man is to be in submission to his wife. At thi...

Thanks, Homer. Actually I agree with you concerning free will. Whereas I think that Talbott has excellent philosophical and scriptural arguments, I have had difficulty with the idea that God sovereignly brings about the reconciliation of all. This is not my position. I believe that eventually all pe...

Obviously, it is God's enemies who are reconciled to Him. If, as you insist, Paul is speaking of a particular reconciliation of all individuals (all rational beings), in what sense are those who died as infants in need of reconciliation, unless you believe in the doctrine of original sin? They can ...

The strongest argument I've heard for women in ministry came from an evangelical, not a liberal. You can read Greg Boyd's essay here: First of all, I know no one who argues against women in ministry. There were clearly deaconesses in the early church. The primary meaning of "deacon" is "distributor...

When original manuscripts do not exist, or even manuscripts in the original language of a work, and translation is dubious at best, it is not wise to castigate the author of ancient writings. Part of the introductory notice in the Antenicene Fathers to the work of Irenaeus "Against Heresies" follow...
Consider the passage 2 Timothy 4:14-16. Much as it may go against our sensitivities, Paul definitely prayed judgment on Alexander the coppersmith. "May the Lord reward him according to his works," in the context, is clearly not the invocation of a blessing. Actually, this was not a prayer. The word...
I think the words of Christ bear repeating: Christ said: You have heard that it was said , "Love your neighbour and hate your enemy", but I tell you, "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evi...

So... Todd went to heaven and talked with Abraham and Paul!
I am wondering, Michelle, why is Tod Bentley your "favorite"?
I guess the following is true after all:
Todd Bentley, encouraging astral projection

However, there is no prayer in the NT indicating that a disciple of Christ hates his enemies. Christ said: You have heard that it was said , "Love your neighbour and hate your enemy", but I tell you, "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who ...
