(CLICK THE ARTICLE HEADING TO READ IT IN FULL)

In this book you will read how the author was guided by Jesus to write the book and how satan threatened him and his family should he write the books and then how he finally defeated the devil one night as he was attacked.

You will also learn of the coming rapture and how the devil is going to try and take over the throne of God here on Earth. This book was written 25 years ago and is COMING TRUE today, it is all backed up by FACT.

It proclaims that King Juan Carlos of Spain will most likely sign a 7 year peace treaty between Israel and Palestine a treaty that will cause WW 3, and that after the war, he will be hailed as the savior of the world, it also says that Russia will side with the muslim nations in order to allow the muslim nations to attack Israel, whilst Russia attacks the defender of Israel (the US) with a nuclear attack. Oil will play a key part in this deal with the muslim nations and Russia.
And that a few years after the war, microchips will be made mandatory that hold all your personal information (most likely voluntary at first), the microchip will have to be inserted within the right hand or the forehead, - it is the mark of the beast - NEVER ACCEPT IT, YOU WILL GO TO HELL IF YOU DO!

This microchip will contain all personal information such as passport info, bank details, etc, you will not be able to buy or sell without the mark in what will become a cashless society, that includes food, drink and essentials you need to live, to accept the mark is worshipping satan, and this is what he wants.

All people in the world will be forced to take the mark if they want to live, rich or poor, it will be very short lived however as those that accepted the mark will be condemned to hell after the second coming of Lord Jesus Christ.

Juan carlos has been actively seeking a peace treaty for the Palestine / Israel problem since as early as 2000, last year he won the coveted Mercury prize in Germany for creating a blueprint for the perfect peace plan for Israel and Palestine, in 2002 he met with the Ayatollah of Iran to discuss possible peace in the region. He co-hosted in July at a conference about world peace and accepting all religions sponsored by the muslim league, his new friends after having secured several lucrative trade contracts for muslim countries in Madrid, he also claim to be a "DIRECT DECENDANT" of Lord Jesus Christ, and has the title of "King of Jerusalem" after Opus Dei lobbied the Israeli parliament for restoration of an ancient rite, he is looked upon favourably by both muslim and jews and is in the perfect position to sign a peace treaty. He also is attending a conference in New York in November about interfaith relations, he also won the "Medal of Honour" from the newly formed European Council on Tolerance and Reconciliation a couple of months ago, The King of Jerusalem, they say, is the most respected man in the world in the eyes of all nations for making peace, and the new Euro coin will have the face of King Juan Carlos of Spain. A one world government and one world religion is on the agenda.

In addition to this he fits all the Bible prophesies that point to the identity of the antichrist, such as his name adding up to 666 in 10 different languages, being born in Rome, the city that destroyed Jerusalem in 70AD, and also he is the "leader of the 11th nation to join the Revived roman empire" who (paraphrased from the Bible) will be the antichrist.

The Bible also states the whoever signs the 7 years treaty with Israel and Palestine will be the antichrist, and the world will see him as man of peace, (as you have read from above, he is already advocating world peace in a major way winning all sorts of awards)

Microchips have already been introduced to people, with people in Spain among the first to accept chips (it’s a yuppie thing). Now the Beijing Olympics are also introducing microchips into the tickets that will store personal information such as passport information, e-mail address, home addresses, etc in order to combat fraud.

Last year you saw the Russian president Putin siding with Iran, much to the fury of the US, and giving Iran full backing. Russia is also bragging how it could beat the US in a thermonuclear war, and there is much friction between the US and Russia these days for a large number of reasons.

Oil is being heavily sought after these days, the price of oil is going up and up, the world economy is a mess, whoever has the most oil has power, and that is why Russia will back the muslim nation to attack the US.

Why Women Are Biblically Forbidden to Preach11/16/09
 
There is a difference in roles of men and women. Always has been and always will be.

There is an equality in our relationship to God.

Galatians 3:28-29
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

1 Peter 3:7
Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.
Yet there is a difference in roles God ordained for men and women.

Two Reasons For Different Roles Are Given In 1 Timothy 2:8-15
13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression.
1. The First Reason Given: The Order Of Creation.
Paul does not go into detail, but enough is given to show that we must consider what is revealed in the first three chapters of Genesis. Male and female relationships are some of the greatest influences in human society and they are based on Creation. This is one of the reasons we must understand the Creation\Evolution controversy. If Evolution is true, we eliminate the foundation of everything the Bible reveals including the relationship men and women have with each other.
From the Creation account in Genesis, we know:
a.Both male and female are made in the image of God.
b.Both male and female have dominion over the earth

Genesis 1:26-28
Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth."
In Genesis, Creation is described two times. In chapter one, there is a general account of the creation of everything. In Chapter two, there is more specific account of creation of men and women. The Holy Spirit revealed because of what happened at Creation, there is a difference in the roles of men and women today.
A. In The Creation Account, The Male Is Central In The Narrative
There is evidence of male headship from the fact that the male is the center and the subject of the entire narrative. All the action and events revolve around the man. He is the subject; all else is brought into the story in relation to him. He is the "star" of the story, he occupies center stage.
Everything else, including the woman, has a supporting role.
1.The male is the first to be created (2:7). (firstborn)
2.The garden is prepared for him, and he is placed within it (2:8) .
3.The male, not the female, is given the name borne by the human race as a whole: "Man" (1:26-27, 5:2).
4.God speaks to the male (2:16); he is the first to receive divine revelation and instruction. (Just as a CEO or General uses a "chain of command")
5.The animals are brought for naming to the male, not the female (2:19-20).
6.The woman is made from the man, not the man from the woman (2:22).
7.The woman is also made for the man and brought to him. the man was not made for the woman (2:18, 22).
8.It is the man who speaks and makes a theological comment upon the woman’s creation, not vice versa (2:23).
9.It is the male who names the female, not the woman naming the man (2:23).
The whole narrative in Genesis 2 is the story of how God created the man and provided in every way for his well-being. The man is the central character through the entire account of the creation of mankind.
When God created the human race, He placed the man squarely in the center of His creative work. The other activities recorded in Genesis 2 are all relative to the man’s existence, nature, and needs. This includes the creation of the woman. All of this strongly implies that the man is the one to take the lead in the commands given by God to subdue the earth.
B. The Male Was Created First
The creation order implies male headship. It was not an accident nor was it random chance.
The Holy Spirit revealed that the order of creation of the man and woman was on purpose and it demonstrates the headship of the male.
Feminist Argument: Animals were created before man, but they are not the head of man, therefore, man is not the head of woman.
1 Timothy 2:12-13
And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence. 
For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
C. The Woman Was Created From The Man
The fact that the woman was created from the man implies male headship. Man is the source of the woman; the woman is derived from the man.
Genesis 2:22
Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.
The female’s being derived from the male does not necessarily, in and of itself, confer headship upon the male. We would not know that this is an indicator of male headship except for the revelation of the Spirit in 1 Corinthians 11:3-8. In His decision to bring woman into existence out of the man, God established an appropriate and everlasting symbol of his intention for man to exercise headship over the woman and for the woman to exist in a relationship of dependence upon the man.
Feminist Argument: Man is from the dust of the ground. Dirt is not the head of man, therefore, man is not the head of woman.
1 Corinthians 11:3-9
But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.
7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. 8 For man is not from woman, but woman from man. Nor was man created for the woman, but woman for the man.
The New Testament commentary is the decisive factor in this argument. We know it is a valid argument because the inspired Apostle Paul himself uses it. When feminists reject it, they are arguing against Paul, and ultimately against the Holy Spirit who inspired him.
C. The Woman Was Created for the Man
Male headship is implied in the fact that the woman was created for the man. Not only was she created from him; she was also created for him. Though the man was created first, he was not intended to exist alone for very long. God declared,
Feminist Argument: God is called man’s helper 16x. (Same word, "ezer" is used). 
Man is not the head of God, therefore, man is not the head of woman.
Genesis 2:18
Then the Lord God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him." (NASB)
The woman was brought into existence for the express purpose of meeting the needs of the already-existing male, and to enable him to lead a fulfilled life. The woman was created for the man; the man was not created for the woman. This is an indication of the roles of the male being the leader and the woman being the helper for the male.
This is confirmed 1 Corinthians 11:9 and is given as a proof of male headship
1 Corinthians 11:3
But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ.
1 Corinthians 11:9
For indeed man was not created for the woman’s sake, but woman for the man’s sake.
This New Testament commentary on Genesis 2:18 cannot be ignored or explained away.
That God describes the woman as a helper suitable for or corresponding to the man does reflect the ontological equality between the sexes, but in no way does it require functional equality.
"Ontology" - The branch of metaphysics that deals with the nature of being.
It shows that in her essential being, woman, unlike the animals, is on an equal plane with man; but it does not negate the role of subordination established by God when he created the woman for the man, i.e., for the sake of the man or as a helper for the man.
D. Eve Was Deceived
Does the fact that Satan chose Eve for this first temptation imply that women as such are spiritually weaker than men? Do they have some kind of inherent weakness that makes them more vulnerable to temptation and sin, as some think 1 Peter 3:7 is suggesting? (being the weaker vessel)
Why Did Satan Choose Eve?
The question of why Satan chose Eve as the object of his temptation is made all the more relevant by Paul’s remark that "it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being quite deceived, fell into transgression" (1 Tim. 2:14) This text does mean something.
Does it mean that Eve was chosen because Satan considered her more deceivable, more vulnerable than Adam? Was Eve the "weaker vessel" - emotionally or intellectually?
The Bible does not reveal Satan’s motive for beginning with Eve. It just records the fact that Eve was the first to be tempted and deceived, and the first to sin. We are not told whether it was part of a deliberate strategy of Satan, or if his choice was just random. But the fact that we do not know for sure why Satan chose Eve does not negate the force of 1 Timothy 2:14, which says that Eve’s being the one who was deceived does have something to do with women’s being prohibited from teaching men and having authority over men in the New Testament church.
The really significant point is that (according to 1 Timothy 2:14) it is not the transgression itself but the deception that is being held against Eve. The fact that Eve was deceived by the Devil is in some way related to the fact that women are not permitted to teach men and have authority over men in the church. We simply cannot deny this connection. The problem, though, is to explain it. Exactly what is the connection?
It is possible that there is something inherent in women’s nature that somehow makes them more vulnerable to deception concerning spiritual matters and therefore less qualified to teach men and have authority over men in the context of the church. This would be consistent with Peter’s description of woman as the "weaker vessel" (1 Peter 3:7). Peter does not explain the nature of this "weakness," nor does he suggest that it constitutes some kind of flaw or fault in women. Whatever it is, it would be consistent with the role for which God created woman in the first place. That is to say, the characteristics that make a woman more strongly suited for her intended role in the family and church make her weaker with reference to what is required for duties of headship and leadership. Such characteristics probably have to do more with her emotional rather than her intellectual nature.
Whatever this "weaker" nature may be, it is possible, if not likely, that this is what Paul has in mind as underlying the fact that Eve was deceived by Satan whereas Adam was not, and that this is the very same thing that disqualifies women from teaching men and having authority over men. If this is so, then the reason for this disqualification is not Eve’s sin at all. Neither is the disqualification some kind of penalty, either for her sin or for allowing herself to be deceived.
It is simply some inherent, created female characteristic that manifests itself in susceptibility to this kind of deception.
1 Tim. 2:13 gives as the primary reason for the prohibition the fact that Adam was first created, then Eve. In other words, the prohibition is grounded in creation, not in some aspect of the Fall. To say that what is true because of creation is also a part of the penalty for the Fall seems inconsistent. But if the prohibition is related to some inherent female characteristic which itself is related to vulnerability to deception, as the first explanation suggests, then 2:14 is also basing the prohibition on human nature as created, and not on the Fall as such.
E. Adam’s Responsibility And Male Headship
One other point must be noted concerning the sin itself, namely, the connection between Adam’s responsibility for that sin and the fact of the male headship that was already established in Genesis 2. Both the Genesis context and Biblical teaching as a whole seem to point to the fact that Adam, the male, bears a greater responsibility for the first sin than Eve. This is exactly what we would expect if Adam was already the appointed head of that two-member family.
Following the sin, when God came to confront his human creatures in their guilt, he specifically addressed the male:
Genesis 3:9 Then the Lord God called to the man, and said to him, "Where are you?"
Why does God first of all specifically call Adam into account for the sin? Because he is the appointed head. As the head of the human family he had the greater initial responsibility for righteousness and thus received the greater blame for the sin.
God didn’t call both of them together, but he called the head. As the God-appointed head, Adam bore the primary responsibility for their actions. Adam held the position of being responsible for sin entering the human race even though Eve sinned first.
The New Testament confirms this understanding. It reveals that Adam is the one who is singled out and held responsible for the consequences of the Fall for the human race.
Romans 5:12
Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned.
Romans 5:14
Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the offense of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come.
Romans 5:15-19
But the free gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many. And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand the judgment arose from one transgression resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the free gift arose from many transgressions resulting in justification. For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. So then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all men. For as through the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous.
1 Corinthians 15:21-22
For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all shall be made alive.
Why is such responsibility laid on Adam? The only thing that can explain the clear teaching concerning Adam’s greater responsibility is his immediate headship over Eve and his ultimate and representative headship over the entire human race.
She sinned first, but Adam was held accountable because he was the one ordained by God to be the head. The relationship of men and women are not just for marriage. There is a special relationship within marriage, but the difference in roles are for all men and for all women.
Marriage Is Not In The Context of 1st Timothy 2:8-15!
Verse 15 She shall be saved in childbearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.
She is not to seek the role of the male, but role for which God created her.
The N.T. teaches a difference in the roles of men and women. The differences of roles are based on God’s choice of creation. God chose to make men and women different and they have different responsibilities as they work together to serve God.
1 Corinthians 11:3-9
But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man... For man is not from woman, but woman from man. Nor was man created for the woman, but woman for the man.
1 Timothy 2:11-14
Let a woman learn in silence with all submission. And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression.
1 Corinthians 14:34-35
Let your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the law also says. And if they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is shameful for women to speak in church.
Feminism has been one of the most successful social movements in our nation. 
Although there have been some legitimate goals, one of the results of this movement is to influence our culture to ignore the fact that there is a difference in the roles of men and women.
When we study the Bible, the issue is not one of equality, but of roles.
The Bible teaches an equality of men and women. Both men and women:
1.Are made in the image of God
2.Have dominion over the earth
3.Are joint heirs in Christ.
The Bible clearly teaches a distinction in the roles of men and women.
The early leaders in the feminist movement recognized this.
After their views became more accepted, others have tried to interpret the Bible to fit their views.

"In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ." —2nd Thessalonians 1:8

So, yes, Women may speak in church. Of course they may. They are very valuable to the church.

If you have a women pastor, then that woman is disobeying God and dishonoring Him.

Here is a letter from a woman asking that same question to another woman who used to be a pastor or nun.

Dear Tracy

God Bless you sister hope things are well for you and your family!

Before i get to my testimony i would like to ask you something: in 1
corinthians 14:34-35 and 1 timothy 2:11-12 paul is talking about
women. now paul says that a woman shouldnt speak in a church, does he
mean not to talk at all, not to teach or preach, or was it for some
particular circumstances? i havent been able to determine it as yet, i
have heard various defences and excuses about those verses, but i am
still yet to be satisfied. i dont mind if women talk or teach or
preach at church, not at all, but if these passages are saying what i
believe they are saying (that women cannot at the least, teach or
preach) then is what is being practiced in alot of churches against
the will of god, we have a female pastor and guest speakers now and
then at my church, so obviously they defend the it was only a special
circumstance position, which is fair enough , im only a young babe in
christ so they probably understand better than i, but everytime i read
those scriptures it seems clear to me that this should not be the
case. what are your thoughts tracy?

in all honesty it dosent matter to me, but i am only concerned with
doing what is right in the sight of the lord - thanks

**********MY RESPONSE*********


Dear Friend:

When you look at the scriptures, it is CLEAR that women are to keep SILENT
in the churches. What is happening now is devilish. I see it for myself.

I Corinthians 14:34 LET YOUR WOMEN KEEP SILENCE IN THE CHURCHES: for it is
NOT PERMITTED UNTO THEM TO SPEAK; but they are commanded to be under
obedience as also saith the law.
14:35 And IF THEY WILL LEARN ANY THING, LET THEM ASK THEIR HUSBANDS AT
HOME: FOR IT IS A SHAME FOR WOMEN TO SPEAK IN THE CHURCH.

I Timothy tells us *WHY* WOMEN ARE TO KEEP SILENT--

I Timothy 2:11 LET THE WOMAN LEARN IN SILENCE WITH ALL SUBJECTION.
2:12 But I SUFFER NOT A WOMAN TO TEACH, NOR TO USURP AUTHORITY OVER THE
MAN, BUT TO BE IN SILENCE.
2:13 FOR Adam was first formed, then Eve.
2:14 And ADAM WAS NOT DECEIVED, BUT THE WOMAN BEING DECEIVED WAS IN THE
TRANSGRESSION.

Eve was deceived, THAT is why we are to keep our mouths shut.

I am a woman [see http://www.jesus-is-lord.com/woman.htm]
and I feel that if I preached people would be converted but I
cannot honour God by dishonouring His word. Your pastor is in disobedience.

Thank you for sending your testimony of how the Lord saved your soul
[see www.jesus-is-lord.com/dave.htm]. Though many do not believe it,
the Satanic powers are very real. God bless
you my friend as you follow on to know the Lord. Write anytime.


for Jesus' sake,
tracy


Take care guys.

Basic Differences between Romanism and Bible Christianity11/16/09
 
Basic Differences between Romanism and Bible Christianity 

The History and Falsehoods of Romanism ( The Roman Catholic Church )

Professor CAM Noble

The basic difference between the Roman Catholic religion and Evangelical Christianity may be summed up in one word - authority. Evangelical Christians accept the Bible, and the Bible only, as the authority in all matters of faith, doctrine, and practice. To add anything to - or subtract anything from - the revelation of the Bible is forbidden by the Bible itself under severe threat of penalty (Revelation 22:18) .
However, the Roman Catholic Church teaches that the Bible is not the only inspired authority; in addition, it has placed on a plane of equal authority church traditions, revelations and visions, and, above all, the edicts of the popes when spoken ex-cathedra or officially as the so-called 'Vicar of Christ' on earth.
The edicts or interpretations or additional revelations receive equal authority with the Word of God, and in many instances above and contrary to the Word of God. When speaking from his throne as the 'Vicar of Christ', the Pope is said to be as much inspired as the writers of the Bible is deemed to be as infallible in his pronouncements as they were.
Moreover, the common people are not able (so Rome teaches), nor allowed, to interpret the Bible for themselves, but must accept whatever the Church says or teaches. The Church through its clergy is the only interpreter of the Word.
Here, then, is the difference: Evangelical Christianity accepts the Bible as the complete and adequate revelation of God, while the Roman Catholics are to believe not the Bible, but the Bible as interpreted by the Pope, the Church and the clergy. This accounts for the great mass of doctrines and dogmas and practices of the Roman Catholic Church which are nowhere to be found in the Bible. They are supposed to rest upon a higher authority than God's Word.
No member of the Roman Church may question the teachings and doctrines of the Church. Once they have been accepted by the hierarchy as Roman Catholic doctrine, everyone is expected to accept them without question or protest. In a sense this makes Romanism an easy religion. The Church interprets all, does all, and decides all. Just leave everything to a priest, and follow his orders, and he will take care of everything for you.
The differences between the Church of Rome and Bible Christianity are legion and are continually being added to by the Vatican. All these differences result from two basic errors. The two basic differences are the two questions of revelation and the nature of the Church. Both are a question of authority.
(1) Revelation
Evangelical Protestantism accepts the 66 books of the Bible as the sole and final revelation for salvation, faith and practice. It believes that supernatural revelation ended with the last verse of the Book of Revelation, and that anything added since then is false and contrary to the plain warning of Revelation 22:18.
The Church of Rome also claims to accept the Bible as God's revelation, but accepts it as only part of God's Word. Revelation according to Rome is the Bible plus the Apocryphal Books, plus tradition, plus the decisions of church councils, plus the decrees of the Pope when he speaks ex- cathedra from his throne as the Head of the church.
As a result, by far the majority of church doctrines cannot be found anywhere in the Bible, but are additions made centuries later by accepting traditions, actions of church councils, and the 'infallible' edicts and decisions of a mortal Pope. When the Church declares a new dogma by official action or papal bull, every Roman Catholic is commanded to believe it and accept it without question, upon pain of discipline.
From this it can be seen that the basic difference between Romanism and Protestantism is one of authority. Protestants accept only the Bible as the final authority. Rome interprets the Bible by the words of man.
(2) The Nature of the Church
The second basic difference is also one of authority. It is the question of the nature of the church. The Roman Catholic Church claims that it alone is the true church with the Pope as its Head. This Church is also considered to speak with infallibility through its councils and the Pope. It is entered through the sprinkling water, called baptism, on a prospective member.
There is supposedly no salvation possible outside this Church: only Roman Catholics can be saved. (This is denied by some Roman Catholics in the USA but has been consistently taught for centuries and is fully documented.) The Church of Rome is thus an organisation rather than an organism.
Evangelical Christians believe that the Church is an organism, a body of living members of which Christ Jesus is the Head. The members consist of people of every nationality, colour, and position, who by a personal faith in Jesus Christ have been born again and baptized in the Spirit into the Body of Christ. These members may be found in every denomination or assembly, not limited to any one group of groups. This Body takes its orders from its Head, Jesus Christ in glory, not from a man in Rome, and accepts God's Word, the Bible, not the proclamations of the Vatican, as its rule and guide of faith and practice.
As a result of the additions made by Rome to the Word of God, the vast majority of her teachings cannot be found anywhere in the Bible. They were all added at later dates. We shall begin our analysis of them in the next lecture with a study of the dates in history when many of these unscriptural dogmas were officially declared, such as: When did kissing the Pope's toe first start? When did the worship of Mary begin? When was the Rosary counting of beads introduced?

Are women allowed to talk in church?3/10/09
 
1 Corinthians 14:34-35 states that:

"As in all the congregations of the saints, women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church."

How many churches are there out there that allow women preachers?

I know the immediate response will be that I have taken the quotation completely out of context - how have I?
The heading for these versus is "Orderly Worship" and all the other versus around the above quoted all regard the same thing: behavior in Church and in front of God.

What else could this passage be meaning?

Some people will say that "times have changed", but isn't the Word of God suppose to be unchanging?
Others might say that Paul is only addressing a certain group of people, but the passage indicates otherwise:

"I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought."
(1 Corinthians 1:10)

Could someone please enlighten me as why so many churches allow Women preachers?

Pope's world1/15/09
 

VATICAN CITY - In what is known as his "state of the world" address, Pope Benedict XVI this morning addressed representatives of the 177 countries which have diplomatic relations with the Vatican. The Pope began his remarks expressing affection for all those who suffered last year due to natural catastrophes or regional conflicts or terrorist attacks. When he turned to solutions to the global financial and violent crises, he noted that the "goal will only be reached by implementing an ethics based on the innate dignity of the human person."

Benedict XVI added: "I know how demanding this will be, yet it is not a utopia! Today more than in the past, our future is at stake, as well as the fate of our planet and its inhabitants, especially the younger generation which is inheriting a severely compromised economic system and social fabric."

The Pope made special mention of Iraq and India, where Christians have suffered physical persecution. To this he added recognition of the "hostility" against Christians in the Western world. "I also express my hope that, in the Western world, prejudice or hostility against Christians will not be cultivated simply because, on certain questions, their voice causes disquiet," said the Holy Father.

He encouraged the Christians of the West suffering such "prejudice," saying: "For their part, may the disciples of Christ, in the face of such adversity, not lose heart: witness to the Gospel is always a ’sign of contradiction’ vis-à-vis ‘the spirit of the world’! If the trials and tribulations are painful, the constant presence of Christ is a powerful source of strength. Christ’s Gospel is a saving message meant for all; that is why it cannot be confined to the private sphere, but must be proclaimed from the rooftops, to the ends of the earth."

In conclusion, the Pope spoke of confronting poverty, noting that "the poorest human beings are unborn children." Thus he said, "Poverty is fought if humanity becomes more fraternal as a result of shared values and ideals, founded on the dignity of the person, on freedom joined to responsibility, on the effective recognition of the place of God in the life of man."

FREE PROPHESY BOOK FOR ALL12/3/08
 
I am currently offering for FREE a book that will change your life forever!

In this book you will read how the author was guided by Jesus to write the book and how satan threatened him and his family should he write the books and then how he finally defeated the devil one night as he was attacked.

You will also learn of the coming rapture and how the devil is going to try and take over the throne of God here on Earth. This book was written 25 years ago and is COMING TRUE today, it is all backed up by FACT.

It proclaims that King Juan Carlos of Spain will sign a 7 year peace treaty between Israel and Palistine a treaty that will cause WW 3, and that after the war, he will be hailed as the saviour of the world, it also says that Russia will side with the muslim nations in order to allow the muslim nations to attack Israel, whilst Russia attacks the defender of Israel (the US) with a neuclear attack. Oil will play a key part in this deal with the muslim nations and Russia.
And that a few years after the war, microchips will be made mandatory that hold all your personal information (most likley voluntary at first), the microchip will have to be inserted within the right hand or the forehead, - it is the mark of the beast - NEVER ACCEPT IT, YOU WILL GO TO HELL IF YOU DO!

This microchip will contain all personal information such as passport info, bank details, etc, you will not be able to buy or sell without the mark in what will become a cashless society, that includes food, drink and essentials you need to live, to accept the mark is worshipping satan, and this is what he wants.

All people in the world will be forced to take the mark if they want to live, rich or poor, it will be very short lived however as those that accepted the mark will be condemned to hell after the second coming of Lord Jesus Christ.

Juan carlos has been activley seeking a peace treaty for the Palistine / Israel problem since as early as 2000, last year he won the coveted Mercury prize in Germany for creating a blueprint for the perfect peace plan for Israel and Palistine, in 2002 he met with the Ayatollah of Iran to discuss possible peace in the region. He co-hosted in July at a conference about world peace and accepting all religions sponsored by the muslim leuge, his new friends after having secured several lucrative trade contracts for muslim countries in Madrid, he also claim to be a "DIRECT DECENDANT" of Lord Jesus Christ, and has the title of "King of Jeruselum" after Opus Dei lobbied the Israeli parliment for restoration of an ancient rite, he is looked upon favourably by both muslim and jews and is in the perfect position to sign a peace treaty. He also is attending a conference in New York in November about interfaith relations, he also won the the "Medal of Honour" from the newly formed European Council on Tolerance and Reconciliation a cople of months ago, The King of Jerusalem, they say, is the most respected man in the world in the eyes of all nations for making peace, and the new Euro coin will have the face of King Juan Carlos of Spain. A one world goverment and one world religion is on the agenda.

In addition to this he fits all the Bible prophesies that point to the identity of the antichrist, such as his name adding up to 666 in 10 different languages, being born in Rome, the city that destroyed Jeruselum in 70AD, and also he is the "leader of the 11th nation to join the Revived roman empire" who (paraphrased from the Bible) will be the antichrist.

The Bible also states the whoever signs the 7 years treaty with Israel and Palistine will be the antichrist, and the world will see him as as man of peace, (as you have read from above, he is already advocating world peace in a major way winning all sorts of awards)

Microchips have already been introduced to people, with people in Spain among the first to

(CLICK ON THE ARTICLE HEADLINE TO READ THE FULL ARTICLE)




accept chips (its a yuppie thing). Now the Bejing olympics are also introducing microchips into the tickets that will store personal information such as passport information, e-mail address, home addresses, etc in order to combat fraud.

Last year you saw the Russian president Putin siding with Iran, much to the fury of the US, and giving Iran full backing. Russia is also bragging how it could beat the US in a thermonecleur war, and there is much friction between the US and Russia these days for a large number of reasons.

Oil is being heavily sought after these days, the price of oil is going up and up, the world economy is a mess, whoever has the most oil has power, and that is why Russia will back the muslim nation to attack the US.

All this was predicated in the book "War of the Angels" This book is true and could save your life, and is FREE for a limited amount of time, to request copies simply visit the site www.waroftheangels.com, and click on the book cover on the top left where it says "WAR OF THE ANGLES NOW FREE" and download your FREE copy.

Do Muslims go to Hell?12/2/08
 
Muslims believe what they believe because they have been brought up to believe it.
In Iran for instance, they are strictly Muslim, so if by chance you were born there, it would be quite likely that you would be a fervent Muslim.
Why? Because you would most likely be brought up reading the Koran and you would have very little, if any, exposure to other religions.
So do Muslims go to Hell? Most Christians would say: yes. But why? Muslims (for the most of it) are trying to please God. They think that Islam is right and their intention is to please God - even if they are getting it wrong. They don't know that Christianity is the right religion, they're just doing what they think is right. Isn't that what counts most?
Sure, some will say "But any Muslim who rejects the opportunity to believe in Jesus Christ DESERVES to go to Hell". To this I ask: Would you become a Muslim? You've had ample opportunity. But of course you wouldn't - you're comfortable with your beliefs, you've been brought up on Christianity and you know it's right. For those exact same reasons, a Muslim is unlikely to be swayed into converting Christianity.
Maybe Muslims are being deceived by Satan, but again, they don't know that that this is the case. They're still trying to please God.

(I would like to add that I am not talking about the Islamic extremists who blow people up and commit acts of terrorism. I am talking about the majority of peaceful, sincere Muslims.)

Warning: They Are Now Becoming Violent11/27/08
 
In the days of Lot, the young and old men had given themselves over to very vile sexual perversions. This is why the name of the city was called “Sodom.” The Bible tells us that Lot was “vexed daily with the filthy conversation of the wicked” (2 Peter 2:7). We are told in the book of Jasher that there were four judges in the five cities mentioned in Genesis 14:1-2. The judges passed laws that beds could be placed in the streets so strangers entering the city could be laid in the beds and sexual acts could be preformed on them (Jasher 19:3). Thus it was the judges who voted for organized perversion to be allowed in the cities. It doesn’t end there.

When the two men (angels) entered the city, Lot met them at the gate and demanded they stay in his house. At night, the men wanted to go outside and check out the city and Lot told them not to. It was too dangerous. Suddenly, the old and young men came to Lot’s door and wanted the two strangers to “know” which means have sexual relations with them (Gen.19:5). When Lot refused, he shut his door and the man almost broke the door down, burning with their lusts to have these two men! It took a supernatural act of God (blindness) to prevent the rape of two men!

Here is the point. When the men of Sodom became violent against the righteous, the following day Lot escaped and the fire fell on Sodom, making this famous city a pile of ashes. Recently in California, the people voted down gay marriage, saying that they believe it should be between a man and a woman. Immediately, the gays began marching, then protesting in front of churches and then in some areas began entering churches, screaming, threatening and throwing bulletins. One older woman in a march for marriage was confronted by gay men, who began shoving her, causing her cross to fall to the ground, where it was stomped on.

I was very disturbed to hear what just occurred in San Francisco. Two women were on the street praying in the gay district. Suddenly they were noticed and hundreds of gay activists rushed on them, throwing a blanket over their heads, taking the Bible and hitting them on the head, and threatening to kill them. As they began to sing Amazing Grace, the gay group began singing “We shall overcome.” Eventually the police were called and told the women to leave because their lives were in danger. As I read this article on World Net Daily, I began to realize that God did not send judgment to Sodom until they became violent against the righteous!

It is either a sign or a strange “coincidence” that when the courts in California passed the gay marriage act in May of 2008, immediately lightning began striking all around the Bay area. In a few weeks there were 8,000 fires burning throughout the state. After the vote in November that banned gay marriage and the protestors began to march, fires began to burn down the homes of many wealthy individuals in California.

Remember, the judgment that came against Sodom was a judgment of fire. Josephus wrote about it when he said;

“Two daughters still virgins…for those that were betrothed (engaged) to them

were above the thoughts of going and deemed that Lot’s words were trifling. God then

cast a thunderbolt upon the which and set it one fire with its inhabitants and laid waste

the country…” - Josephus: Antiquities Bk.1; Ch.11


Notice the word “thunderbolt.” Did massive lightning set the city on fire? Whatever occurred, it happened after the Sodomites became violent and threatened the righteous. In the New Testament there is a strong warning about any nation that follows the same patterns of Sodom:

“As Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.” - Jude 7

“And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly.”

- 2 Peter 2:6

We have already seen the devastation of two American cities on the coasts: New Orleans and Galveston, Texas. Do your own research, and discover the hidden clue as to what may have (and probably did) remove the protective hedge from this area. It is sad, because it “rains on the just and the unjust,” and just as Lot lost his home and had to relocate, many good people have had to relocate from these cities. However, God does take care of those who will follow him, despite times of great difficulty.

We are in a season where we will see selective judgment. Is the economic crisis a sign of the removing of America’s golden calf? Time will tell! It is time to preach the truth and stand with the Word!

www.all4God.co.uk

Casting crowns. With sales of over 3.5million, Grammy and Dove awards, hits such as Lifesong, If we are the Body, Praise you in this Storm, Somewhere in the Middle and Does Anybody Hear Her, they are one of, if not the biggest Christian band in the world right now. And I caught up with them for a chat for the All4God podcast - u can listen to it online at www.all4God.co.uk, or if you have an iPod search for ‘liveall4God’ in the iTunes store.

On the podcast I chat to lead singer Mark Hall, guitarist Juan DeVevo and pianist Megan Garrett about how they got their big break, how their songs have been received around the world, the origins of the hit Lifesong, what the future holds for Casting Crowns and what living All4God means to them as a band, among other things. They have some great, informing and slightly challenging answers, making this podcast a must listen regardless of whether you are a casting crowns fan yet or not!

Paradise Lost11/3/08
 
Subjective experience shapes our character, personality and physical form. Some of these experiences are chance and some are choice. In what manner does God then create us? Surely we are, in the words of Milton, "self-begot, self-rais'd"? Indeed, if this is the case, what do we owe God? Why must our allegiance be to God, if he has given us nothing of ourselves? If our souls are penance for creation then surely we are like captured slaves, serving an opportunistic tyrant?
