7 Comments on Christians: Keeping the Law of Moses?

It was only a few weeks ago, while in a discussion this was given as support for Christians following the Sabbath, namely Seventh day Adventists and Messianic Jews, hold to this, but some of the people close to me, I have observed are of the same opinion.

Mark 2:27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath.

And I was offered the explanation as to why The law given to Israel, not Christians, should be held by Christians because:

1. It was God’s eternal Law.

2. It is good to follow.

3. Christ never abolished the law.

4. The law is a higher standard for worshiping and keeping ourselves holy.

I am sure there are various other reasons people can conjure up as well. I f course flat-out disagree with them.

Before we go forward let me say a few words.

8 Comments on Supernatural Debt Reduction: Why I think Benny Hinn is teaching false doctrines

I was on my daily routine, checking my mails and all, and I got this email from Benny Hinn ministries. I remember subscribing to them 10 years back when I had no clue about true christian doctrine, but since then had not followed up on them or my inbox had moved them to spam, either way, this mail cautght my attention which had this highlighted topics:

Supernatural Debt Reduction and The Thousandfold Principle

to quote the mail

Yet as is so often the case in the Bible, when circumstances point to the worst, the conditions for a miracle are forming on the horizon. And your coming miraculous debt reduction and wealth transfer will happen at the worst moment for the world.

Why christian women can be leaders, at home and in church.

5 Comments on Why christian women can be leaders, at home and in church.

I recently had an argument with a Christian who was adamant that men are to be the leaders only, as they are made for that purpose and are answerable to God. I of-course disagree with this notion and with good reason.

Male dominance has been inherent in eastern cultures for a long time. Bible speaks of male dominance because that is how the society was constructed. Very few women were literate in O.T times and even in the N.T. Most of the first century women were not educated. The idea that the male should be superior, is not a spiritual requirement. It is a social one. The context greatly matters here.

In a male dominant society as the first century Jews, Paul could have not written

Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus…

and not understand what he was saying. You do see that Paul clearly speaks out against the Jew authority of the O.T, he starts with that and comes to male and female as well. In the immediate context, I must treat these the same way. The same way Jews are not the only special people now, that men are no more special than women. This means that women can have the spirit of God and lead men.
