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?

Eternal or Everlasting life; which is it?

John 3:16 (KJV)   “ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life .” Why everlasting life, why not eternal life?   is there a difference and if so what? Most resources I have available were of the opinion that they are the same.   I needed to dig deeper.   I soon found that all of man’s ideas on the subject were based on their opinion and very little scripture if any, then the easily discounted.   If I am to find the answer I seek, which is truth; I need to consult scripture.   Words in blue aren’t scripture. “Let a man so account of us ( Paul and his fellow workers ), as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.   1 Corinthians 4:1.   So I was right to search the scriptures concerning my question: to find this answer in His Word. When I started this word study the first thing I noticed was that the most sig...

Importance of Resurrection

1 Corinthians 15:17  Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV):   “ And if Christ be not raised, your faith  is  vain; ye are yet in your sins.” I am amazed at how ignorant most are of their salvation.   I will ask “Why, do you think you’ll go to heaven?” or   What happens when you die?”   ninety nine out of a hundred will answer with “Jesus died for my sins.”   True; “Jesus died for the sins of the world, “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”   John1:29b.   That is most true but also is “and if Christ be not raised, your faith  is  vain; ye are yet in your sins.”   Jesus had to die for the purpose of removing sin, “to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.”   2 Corinthians 5:19.   But this reconciliation can only come when one believes the gospel as pres...

When did the "Church" begin for us today ? ? ?

1 Timothy 1:15-16  (King James Version 1611):  " This is  a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief (first, beginning Strong's Concordance # 4413).  Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him for life everlasting. The "Church" didn't start with Peter and his presentation of Acts 2:38.  The "Church" started when Paul was on the Damascus Road.  Then it took numerous years in the desert for Paul to come to the understanding of "Faith plus nothing" (Les Feldick).  We are saved by grace through faith, who's faith (Romans 1:17)? "For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,  If you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: How that by revelation (Galatians 1:11-12) he ma...
