Follow the Rules

I might be on a kick here but the truth is I am just thinking more about who can become Pastors. I have always been in favor of the understanding of the order of Creation. God has laid out a plan. While I can talk openly with Feminists, they still tend to call me names. I clearly respect the capability of women. They are good enough and smart enough, but this is not what God desires. God says that an overseer should be the husband of one wife.

St Paul clearly says that women cannot be Pastors. If you study the various offices in the early church, it is interesting how many offices they had for women. St Paul does not say women can not tell others about Christ. St Paul just follows the word of God. God has a desire for people to remember the order of Creation. He also has a desired connection between Marriage and the Church. There are many different ways for Marriage and the Church to relate.

But the point here is still simple. The rules we have to follow are not laid out by St Paul, but by God. St Paul even reminds us he was not taught by men but revealed by God. People have struggled with the rules of God ever since the beginning. Adam and Eve struggled with the order of Creation. Eve was the one who lead her husband into sin. It was the job of the husband to help his wife. He was the first watchman. Now the Overseer or Watchman of the Church should also be the husband of one wife. I will be very interested to see what else you may think about this topic. thank you.

    I can hardly agree on the last 2 paragraphs.

    'order of creation' - this term doesn't exist in the Bible. It is a man-made term of explaining away why women are less suitable for doing things.

Set Theory on the Trinity

Many Theologians are not Mathematicians. But Theologies are really into Science. For some reason there is a greater cross over between Theology and Science than any other fields unless you Separate Math and Physic into different fields. But Set Theory at its basic is the idea of taking sets of numbers or things and showing relationships. We see this in Matrices or Venn-Diagrams. Now Theologians generally speaking would use a Venn-Diagram to describe the Trinity. A Theologian would usually talk about three circles one being the Father and another being the Holy Spirit and the Other being the Son. Thus, where these circles connect that is then called God. But this means that there is part of the Son which is not God. Part of the Holy Spirit which is not God. And part of the Father which is not God. This is not true. Rather you take a list of Sets. Take Set God which contains all the attributes of God. Then you take a Set called Holy Spirit it would contain all the attributes of God and y...

The Death of the Holy Innocents

Many people die for what they believe in. Some die for righteous people. But these chosen few die on behalf of the one who will save us all. These children have all sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God. But these children die on account of the Christ Child. Many people have been martyred because they confessed the faith. These children did not stand or even get a chance to stand. They were cut down because they were seen as the threat to King Herod. Rachael mourns for her children. Rachael died giving life to Benjamin near Bethlehem. Rachael now weeps as all the children of this town are slaughtered. But just as Rachael died giving birth to life. These children die to protect the Christ Child who left the town and will die to give all of us life. St Peter once said that he would not allow Christ to go to the cross. St Peter drew his sword in the garden to die for Christ. But only these Children truly give their life for Jesus Christ to live. Their sacrifice should b...

Biblical Marriage

Marriage is defined in Genesis as a man clinging to his wife and the two becoming one flesh. This definition is standardized even in the New Testament by both Jesus and St Paul. Therefore, we have generally said Marriage is defined as one Man and one Woman being joined together in a life long union. Most people think that this Marriage union is created through a man dressed in black and woman dressed in white walking down an aisle to be joined together before some kind of altar. But this is only a ceremony of marriage. The Bride and bridegroom are actually joined together through what is known as consummation, or proper sexual relations.  Thus, St Paul can even talk in reference to a marriage bed. This concept may be overlooked by a culture that no longer views the bed as the place where a majority of sexual activity takes place. But he states this because the marriage bed is the location in which a man and woman are joined together. Just as it was Rachael or Leah's tent in which t...
