Polygamy was a problem for men in those days. Male candidates for the ministry could not have multiple wives if they desired to serve as an overseer. One wife only for male overseers and for male deacons. But for women elders in church leadership (the "presbyteras" of 1 Tim. 5:1-2), having...

The prohibition in 1 Timothy 2:12 is specifically against "authentein" teaching of men, as opposed to the desired calm, peaceable manner ("hesychia"). This word "authentein" indicated abusive, overbearing treatment that the Ephesian women were using over the men of the church in that city...

This first-century cult which was teaching the "doctrine of Balaam" is merely a copy of how the original Balaam got the children of Israel to sin. Some 24,000 of the Israelites were slain by God in the Old Testament for succumbing to the temptation to commit fornication and to eat things...

No, Thyatira's mention of Jezebel wasn't a prophecy. It was a declaration about a single individual woman in those first-century days who was then teaching and seducing the servants of God to commit fornication and to eat things offered to idols. If you want to know the actual name of this...

Paul included other subjects in 1 Corinthians from the letter the Corinthians had written to him. ("Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me..." - 1 Cor. 7:1). When Paul wanted to correct the mistaken thoughts which the Corinthians were believing, he used a particular remonstrance...

Do you really believe that Paul and John were teaching different, opposing doctrine on this point? They weren't. Paul did not forbid women to speak and prophesy as leaders in the assemblies, and neither did John. Paul did restrict women from teaching men in a certain "authentein" manner -...

No, they don't. That is quite a demonstration of misinterpreted prophesy in your chart, none of which matches the temporal requirements that the contexts of scripture place on those numbers (1260, 1290, 2300, 1335, 42 months). Scripture makes no such requirement at all for a third temple...

This passage about the woman nicknamed "Jezebel" calling herself a Prophetess is not a condemnation against all women preachers. It is a condemnation against one particular woman who happened to be teaching error to the church in those first-century days. If it is your view that women church...

The Source of that "everlasting fire" is the constant stream of fire issuing and coming forth from the throne of the eternal Ancient of Days in Daniel 7:10. Those "everlasting burnings" and that "devouring fire" are what the RIGHTEOUS are to dwell with on high as they "see the King in His...

A promise of Satan's soon destruction is found in Romans 16:20. "And the God of peace shall crush Satan under your feet SHORTLY..." The destruction of the evil angelic oppression over all the planet in the age that was soon coming in the first century is found in Hebrews 2:5. "For unto the...

Believing Jesus is not the same as believing your particular interpretation of what Jesus said. Did you not notice that both day and night are still going on in this Revelation 20:10 verse? This is NOT the afterlife existence being described. It is ordinary earthly progression of time with...

I'm evading nothing at all. I'm saying you have imposed the usual improper understanding of the terms scripture uses. If we are both looking at a different "dictionary" when reading the scriptures, then of course we will not agree. I prefer to look at the scriptures content paying close...

You are imposing the usual misunderstanding on the terms the translators chose to use. And you are not addressing the other scriptures I brought up that show how the Lake of Fire is NOT the location of eternal conscious torment for the wicked dead, as is the usual presumption. The physical...

You are unfortunately operating under the usual confusion of how the different words in scripture are all translated by the same word "Hell". The KJV translators just threw up their hands and translated all the terms as being "Hell", when they really mean different things. "Sheol", "Hades"...

Quoting scripture directly word for word is not "playing word games" with it. We are told that Death and Hell would be cast into the Lake of Fire, which is another name for the second death. (And nobody experiences the physical death process twice - that would contradict Hebrews 9:27 where it...
