women should be silent?

Posted by Luke J. Wilson on 8th April 2014 in women | women,silence,1 Corinthians,1 Timothy,authority,doctrine,marriage
...stance of women being silent, should this same creation-order command from Paul be only situational and the other not? Leaving aside the silence issue for a moment, those women out there who do keep to this non-authority, staying quiet thing - do you follow the preceding verse as strictly?  ...also that the women should dress themselves modestly and decently in suitable clothing, not with their hair braided, or with gold, pearls, or expensive clothes... (v.9) Do you men who follow the silence of women strictly, also follow this? How many of you make sure your wives don't have a new hairstyle, or wear jewellery or buy nice clothes? Are any women reading t...
 

Jesus, Mithras and Ancient Roman Cults: Separating Fact from Fiction

Posted by Luke J. Wilson on 25th April 2023 in Mythology | Jesus,mithras,apologetics,roman gods,atheist
...fact that women were excluded from the Mithraic cult, which lies in stark contrast to Christianity which, in many ways, elevated the status of women. Jesus openly had women disciples and included them in his ministry and witness, as well as financial and other support (Luke 8:1–3) which went against the grain of society at the time (and later, even hosting churches in their homes!). For example, the scholarly view of Mary sitting at Jesus’ feet acknowledges that it was unusual for a woman to take on the role of a disciple in this way, as religious education and discipleship were often reserved only for men. However, this scene in Luke 10:38–42 is signific...

...ad stoned women for adultery. (Muslim 4206) ? Jesus said, “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.” (John 8:7 [for the sake of argument, I know the pericope adulterae is a textual variant, so here’s a good article in favour of its historicity]) Muhammad permitted stealing from unbelievers. (Bukhari 44:668, Ibn Ishaq 764, Qur’an 8:69, 33:27, 48:20). ? Jesus said, “You shall not steal.” (Matthew 19:18; Luke 19:8–9) Muhammad permitted lying. (Sahih Muslim 6303, Bukhari 49:857)  ? Jesus said, “You shalt not bear false witness.” (Matthew 19:18) Muhammad owned and traded slaves. (Sahih Muslim 3901)  ? Jesus neithe...
 

8 Most Controversial Topics In The Church Today

...pposed to women in leadership capacities, whilst more liberal denominations are open to it. With the advent of Christian women bloggers, there has recently been a special dilemma on this subject. These ladies have a sizable internet presence and following, which has prompted some Christians to doubt their authority, despite the fact that they are not preaching/teaching in a typical church context. 4. Type of worship music Modern or traditional? Hymns or contemporary praise songs? This is undoubtedly a contentious subject inside many churches. It's frequently a decisive element in a person's decision to join a church. This problem also creates a schism between...
 

The Historic Practice of Abortion and How Ancient Christians Responded

Posted by Luke J. Wilson on 1st July 2022 in Abortion | abortion,roe v wade,church history,current events,theology,politics,Why Are Christians Against Abortion?
...hat those women who use drugs to bring on abortion commit murder. And we also say they will have to give an account to God for the abortion. — Athenagoras, c. AD 175 Although keeping parrots and curlews, the [pagans] do not adopt the orphan child […] they take up the young of birds. So they prefer irrational creatures to rational ones! — Clement of Alexandria, c. AD 195 To hinder a birth is merely a speedier way to kill a human. It does not matter if you take away a life that has been born, or destroy one that is not yet born. — Tertullian, c. AD 197. Indeed, the Law of Moses punishes with appropriate penalties the person who causes aborti...
 

Coffee With Jesus: Luke 24

Posted by Luke J. Wilson on 10th February 2023 in Devotional | Coffee with Jesus,Road to Emmaus,resurrection,eucharist
...Brief thoughts from daily devotions The road to Emmaus. A familiar story from the Gospel to many, though today as I read it, I noticed some things which I probably glossed over in previous times. At the start of this chapter we see that some of the women who followed Jesus had gone to the tomb with spices to prepare the body of Jesus, and yet were met with a few surprises: an open, empty tomb and some angels! They ran back to the group of apostles and other disciples to tell the exciting news, and what was their response? “[T]hese words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them.” (v.11). They thought it was nonsense! Probably not the react...
