LittleDavid View Profile	GUESS WHAT???... Posted : 6 Apr, 2018 10:33 PM Ella, sorry I took so long. But I can respond to your post with a true story about my favorite woman teacher, Elisabeth Elliot, who illustrates the appropriate application of all the Scripture you mentioned except for the one from Acts. Elisabeth and her husband were missionaries to the Auca Indians who eventually murdered her husband. Elisabeth decided to return to the Aucas and tell them about Jesus and the forgiveness of sin. Yes, she taught the people, including the men, about her forgiveness of them for killing her husband, thus illustrating the forgiveness of Jesus. So of course, she was acting in perfect accord with 1Cor11:5 scripture. But please note the context of 1Cor11:5 is different from the context of 1Cor14 and the context from Timothy, both of which address the body (the Church coming together) in corporate worship. Ok, as time passed, Elisabeth'a work among the Aucas bore fruit. Many believed her message and were brought to repentance. They also learned about becoming members of Christ's body, his universal church. After learning about the order of the church as declared by Paul, they immediately wanted Elisabeth to be their overseer, but Elisabeth explained the Scripture concerning male leadership. So she declined their request, saying that she is not qualified to lead the church. The Aucas then decided which of their men more closely met Paul's qualifications. I realize some people, at this point, some men and women may object to what I've written here, but they will find themselves arguing with God, not me. I just pass along God's truth found in his word, I don't create God's truth
LittleDavid View Profile	Do you gathering for worship & praise with other believers Posted : 6 Apr, 2018 08:42 PM Prophetic, the passages from Timothy and Corthinans, of which you are wont quote, clearly speak to formal gatherings of the body (the church) and to its male leadership. These men must meet the qualifications Paul listed in his letter to Timothy. Very few men qualify for these positions of leadership. Leadership of Christ's body, the church, is serious bussiness, this is why any-o-man can not simply assert himself into leadership. But Paul's instructions do not speak to women's conduct outside those meetings, Women are not forbidden to tell men things. For example, this CDFF forum does not represent the church. CDFF is not a formal body gathering, as discussed by Paul in Timothy and in Corinthians. Women, therefore, have many opportunities to discuss God's Word even with men; but---they must remain silent regarding the leadership and the teaching of Christ's body, his church, whenever it formally comes together as in its regular corporate worship services

LittleDavid View Profile	GUESS WHAT???... Posted : 31 Mar, 2018 01:01 AM Prophetic, I may have jumped the gun on you regarding Ella's posts. At first sight, I thought Ella was a gifted teacher who respected Biblical instructions governing worship when believers came together per Paul's instructions. At this point I'm unsure about her convictions. I'm trying chat with her about that now. I don't know, at this point who is right, you or her. But I do apologize for judging you before fully hearing the matter. Very short sighted of me. Again very sorry
LittleDavid View Profile	GUESS WHAT???... Posted : 31 Mar, 2018 12:51 AM Ella, when I began reading your posts I kinda rejoiced at what you wrote. You appeared to be a woman who held to all the teaching of scripture. Unless I'm mistaken, you believe women should be pastors over men in church contrary to Paul's instruction?? Is this so?

LittleDavid View Profile	Are YOU?.... Posted : 31 Mar, 2018 12:37 AM "prophetic" so according to you, the CDFF forums look like the NT church!!!??? Women are specifically instructed in Paul's letters. You, on the other hand, want to impose YOUR personal EISOGESIS!!!
LittleDavid View Profile	GUESS WHAT???... Posted : 31 Mar, 2018 12:28 AM Prophetic, so you think the CDFF forums constitutes a biblical church???!!! Women are not forbidden to teach in every venue!!!
