Who's in Charge?

 1st Timothy 1:12 [Authorized King James Version]:  “But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.”

Who was the first woman  US Mayor, Susanna M. Salter; Argonia, Kanas,  1887

                                           US Congress & first federal office holder:

                                           Jeannette Rankin, Montana, 1916

                                           US Senate, Rebecca Felton, Georgia, 1922

                                           Vice President of the United States

                                           Kamala Harris, California, 2021.

Heard a slogan a while back:  Insanity is doing the same [wrong] thing over and over and expecting different results.

So when did humanity begin to fall?  When Adam ate.  Politics aside will one believe God or reject His Words.  I follow with this:  “For Adam was first formed, then Eve.  And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, was in the transgression.”  1 Timothy 2:13-14 [AKJV].

So what is the point?  “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”  Roams 3:23.  Does one believe that?  So what should one’s response be.  “For I have determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified”  1 Corinthians 2:2.  

“Moreover brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and where in ye stand; By the which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.  For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he arose again the third day according to the scripture.”  1 Corinthians 15:1-4 [AKJV].

So now the most important question, “do you believe?

Believe God

Galatians 2:16  Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV): “ K nowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.” Why is it so hard for man just to believe God?   Most don’t even believe that He is.   “But without faith  it is  impossible to please  him:  for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and  that  he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” Hebrews 11:6.   All God has ever wanted from man was just to be believed.   But as with Adam and Eve in the garden; “In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”   2 Corinthians 4:4.   Why the ...

Rightly divided or handling ???

  2 Timothy 2:14-16     Authorized (King James) Version:   “ Of these things put  them  in remembrance, charging  them  before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit,  but  to the subverting of the hearers. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane  and  vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.” There is in the military a directive that when one receives conflicting orders one will follow the last order given.   Really that makes a lot of sense to one who has sense, but therein lies the rub. Background:   the phrase above in verse “15” reads “rightly dividing the word of truth”.   Modern versions will read “rightly handling” instead of “dividing”.   Those two words have different meanings as seen in Hebrews 4:12 “even to dividing asunder”.   If a person d...

Risen? really; who said.

1 Corinthians 15:17 [AKJV]:   " And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins." When questions are asked of others, like;   "Why do you think you are saved?" or "Where will you go when you die?".   "How do you have assurance of eternal life?".   When I ask these and other questions concerning one's eternal condition I will get a multitude of replies.   Although to many to write out here but the number one response is generally that "Jesus died for our sins."   Very seldom is the reply followed with and arose the third day.   The gospel that we are saved by to day is mostly incomplete when witnessed to others.   The resurrection is also important as given by Paul to us today.   "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, un...
