[Faith-talk] Scripture Passage

[Ericka]

Lydia is the first one that comes to mind. She was the one with the purple purse or something. She helped the apostles quite a bit. She had friends that also were a rich families that assisted. And who can forget Mary, Martha and especially Easter morning when Mary Magdalene and Martha realized the gardener was Jesus but the guys, the apostles didn't believe them! Women finding out the truth and the guys not believing them, G does that ever happened in today's time? LOL personally, I think the story gives credibility to women being pastors and well maybe the pope should really be a lady for Catholics. Sarah can clear this up, but the reason most face put the guy in charge of churches and don't let women be pastors is because of customs/cultural beliefs from the past that have continued on.

>> The Scripture passage I was refering to is Titus 2.  Yes, many things in the Scriptures are historical or allegorical, and much is prophecy.  But much is instruction on how Christians should live.  Men and women are the same sinful wretches as they were when the Bible was written, and what applies to them applies to us now.  Much of the Old Testament tells us of the laws of Moses, the old covenant, and how they had to live before Christ came to earth to give His life for sinful people.  Much of that was because God needed the shed blood to atone for the sins of the people.  Many in the Old Testament are types of Christ, thus we see Christ throughout the whole of Scripture.
>> 
>> In the New Testament, we read of Christ's birth, His life on earth, His death (again the shedding of blood), and His resurrection, written by those who either spent time with Him or, in the case of Saul turned Paul, who had a spiritual encounter.
>> 
>> I once believed that much of the New Testament was just history, as in such cases as dress, setting aside Sundays as a day to worship God and to rest, the roles of men and women, etc.  But then what would we learn, and how would we live, if the Bible wasn't the Christian's guide? There are different interpretations, and, in reading the Bible for myself, and being in a church that believes it means what it says, and says what it means, I live and believe differently than I used to.
