Correct. Prophecy and Teaching are different. However, in 1 Cor 14:31, it qualifies what it means by prophecy by adding "so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged". The common interpretation found in most commentaries is that this was a reference to the church's pastor or leader.
Jesus gave woman more recognition than was common in that culture. But, nowhere did Jesus violate the order of authority that God established from the beginning.
Most historians believe Paul was a widower. He also did not avoid women, because some of his best friends were woman; such as Pricilla and Claudia and Timothy's mother.
Paul was not a student of Aristotle. He was a student of the Jewish Sanhedran. He was a Pharasee. As he said, he was a Jew of Jews. As a result, he avoided all contact with Gentiles. He could not have been a student of Greek philosophers. This shows God's humour in that the man most likely to avoid Gentiles was made by God the missionary to the Gentiles.
I stand by what Scripture says because I believe
We do not have the option to pick and choose which Scripture we want to believe. (Likewise Deut 12:32, Rev 22:18)
Regarding risk of alienating some by proclaiming the truth.
Oh ... to answer your question on foxmagic's forum. I believe that those who call themselves Christian and have not come to accept the literal Creation account is most likely a result of: (1) They are not truly born again. See Matthew 7:21-23. (2) They are immature. See Luke 8:14, Eph 4:13, Heb 5:14, Heb 6:1, James 1:4-8 (3) They are deceived. See James 1:16, 2 Tim 3:11-16, 2 Cor 11:3-6, Luke 21:8 (4) They are scoffers. See Jude 1:18-19, 2 Pet 3:3-7
Sola Scriptura! I believe ALL of the Bible. I'm not smart enough to pick and choose which portions I will believe. I believe that God is powerful enough to create the world and powerful enough to preserve His Word through history.
This will be my last note on this thread and on foxmagic's thread.
