DR. Woods you are one of the most thorough teachers I have come across in my 32 years as a Christian. Thank you for your sacrifices in making these videos.
Andy, the Q&A session now gives you an amazing TRIAD of content. Your Bible teaching, pastors point of view, now the Q&A. The more Andy, the better. Great job!
Excellent answers backed by Scriptures. Very interesting questions. Thank you so much for this new series Pastor Andy! Much love 💝, prayer 🙏 and blessings 🙌 to you!
For me, when I bow or raise my head when praying, it shows humbleness and humility. Closing my eyes, just like you said Pastor Andy, it helps me stay focus on God and makes me feel closer to Him. Also, looking forward to hearing more on this series. God Speed!
Pastor Andy, this new teaching program is God inspired, thank you for being obedient to the voice of the Holy Spirit. I appreciate all of your teachings. May you be blessed beyond measure.
Wow, how cool is Dr. Woods, Sugarland Bible Church, Dr. McGowen, the Audio-Visual team, Andy’s wife, Andy Woods Ministries, and all the other great people who support Dr. Woods; To be able to offer yet another outlet for the Word of God, of Christ !
Thank you very much for giving us even more of your time, Dr. Woods! It truly will be edifying! God bless you and God bless your ministry in Jesus' name, Amen!
Excellent teaching Pastor Woods! God has truly given you a gift of understanding and dissecting His Word! May God continue to bless you your family and your ministry 🙏😊
This was excellent Andy! Thank you so much. The last Q&A should be taught to all youth as it clarifies matters so much. I have teenage daughters and this is really helpful. Thank you so blessed by your ministry and wisdom. Greetings from England, Oxford
Great program dr Andy, I hope you continue this q&a as long as you get time, knowing well how busy you are with other teachings. I learned a great deal from you. May God continue to bless you and your family.
Thank you Dr. Andy Woods. Very instructive and edifying. Look forward to the next episode. God bless you and Dr. Jim and all at SLBC. Greetings and blessings from Switzerland.
👉 I have a question I've been wondering about for some time. If Satan cannot read our mind, isn't it better to pray in silence? But if we do choose to pray out loud, won't there be more spiritual warfare since the enemy can now here our struggles and prayers in the name of Yeshua Ha'Mashiach ❓Thanks - Norm in Miami Florida 🌴
Good question. The Bible says: Resist the devil and they flee. So I believe our prayers are a great weapon of resistance to the Devil that make them flee rather than attracting more warfare. They war against us like a roaring lions all the time anyway. Prayer works as a spiritual weapon against their attack and plan. My 2 cents. I'd love to hear Dr. Woods answer to that too.
The great men of the Old Testament prayed out loud. David cried out to the Lord, for example. It was a very Jewish thing, very emotional waving of arms and hand motions. Whether weeping, or praising or making a request. Not always, but often.
Thank you Andy Woods, I've learned so much through your teaching but I do have some questions regarding gifts... can you tell us where is says in scripture that some of the gifts have passed away. I'm also wondering about people who do speak in tongues, why do some still receive that gift? I'm reading the book God's Generals and the men and women that God used in a mighty way in healing, deliverance, evangelism, speaking in tongues etc. Its just amazing what was happening in the early 1900's. How could God move in such a mighty and powerful way at that time if these gifts have passed?
Your title could be "Don't Marry An Orangutan!" Seriously though, I always appreciate your explanations based on the exposing of Scriptures. I love that you are a lawyer who questions and seeks evidence scripturally for us at such a time as this. Thank you
Pastor, I really appreciate your insight on the marriage portion of this Q and A. Would it be possible to ask for further insight from you on, if in my case I failed in being patient and married someone which I have found does not have the equal triad of match needed to that perfect union of two peoples? What do I do? We deff have differences especially in ministry and what our priorities are. I can say however that God definitely confirmed His blessing on us after getting married in multiple ways and still provides in amazing ways but just we as a couple have much more difficulty in our marriage due to from what I see now, this mis match in the 3 parts of who we are. Thank you and God bless you 🙏
Regarding Women in the Ministry: I totally agree concerning the pulpit but what about a Sunday School class? I am in a Sunday School class (primarily baby boomer age) of couples and we rotate among four different teachers---2 male and 2 female. The Lesson is already formatted with the prescribed associated passages in a given book. The church (Baptist) agrees with the pulpit distinction but does not make an issue of a woman being a co-teacher or in a teaching rotation for a mixed Sunday School class. I am not arguing a position, just looking for some input as to what is Biblically correct.
This verse always comes to mind on the subject of a person who confesses to believe but later denies or changes their mind... I Peter 1:5 NKJV [5] who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. Can true faith from God actually go away? Can true belief be lost? Is it not kept by the power of God? I pray we are indeed kept by the power of God. 🙏❤️
Well said on that last question Andy. Salvation is free beyond most people's understanding, when you are forgiven, you can't become unforgiven no matter what. Not even God can take away your salvation, even if He wanted to, because He (his word) is so true.
Thank you so much for doing this!!! My question is, if someone becomes saved after the rapture and then faces having to take the mark of the beast, knowing that one cannot lose their salvation, but the Bible says that if you take the mark you cannot be saved. So for those who become saved, but may make a poor decision regarding the mark of the beast due to fear, hunger or whatever… how will that work? It seems to me that new believers after the rapture will most likely not be faced with the decision to take the mark, they will simply be killed because they are believers. I think this because of the scripture that says God writes his name on us once we become his. Can Satan see those who are believers? If he can, what would be the purpose in Trying to influence a believer to take the mark of the beast if their salvation cannot be lost? Can you please give me your thoughts on this according to scripture thank you so much.
Read these scriptures on Melchizedek. These will help you to understand what Christians need to know today. Genesis 14:18-20, Psalm 110:4, and Hebrews 7.
the name literally means "King of Righteousness". Most theologians believe it is a pre-incarnate appearance of Jesus Christ in the OT. And there are other such appearances as well!
Is this where we should pose our questions for your next session or are the questions presented somewhere else? Thank you Pastor Andy for your willingness to share your understanding of the word that God has given you. We are so blessed 😊
Hello Dr. Woods! My question is why despite the fact that many were baptized in jesus name, according to the gospel the apostles have to lay down their hands on the people to receive the holy ghost? Thank you in advance for your time and effort. God bless you!
I only see it twice in Acts. Peter, who was given the "keys to the kingdom" was given the role of opening the "door" to the different races of people. The Jews in Acts 2 followed by the Samaritans in Acts 8 and Gentiles in Acts 10. Paul's laying on hands in Acts 19 is because the Ephesians only knew of John the Baptist baptism.
The issue I have in general is the unscriptural operation of church leadership, not just them setting the rules. The church has been steamrolled by the culture so something is indeed wrong. We are heading back to house churches and small, Holy Spirit led assemblies. Powerless, autocrat experts selling books, audio and video recordings have led to the apostasy we are now facing. The Apostle Paul declared to the Corinthians that he didn’t come with men’s wisdom but the demonstration of the Spirit and Power. This, we lack.
If there's any way to increase the volume guys especially for the hard of hearing That would be really appreciated People out here really need to be hearing this but it is very faint
2:29 great follow up to that is, why do most men remove hats to pray (head uncovered) but women virtually never pray with head covered? Symbolic or physical?
In the west (U.S., England, etc.) removing a hat when entering into a church was a show of respect for the House of the Lord. ---what people used to call churches. Women seldom wore hats. And if they did, wearing a hat in church was considered different for women than for men...part of their 'outfit' or outer clothing. That verse in the Bible speaks mainly to the culture at the time, than it is a direction for us today. But we can learn some basic principals from it. To God, it's more about the heart.
The gifts of the Holy Spirit come from God the Father. He gives them as He sees fit. Who are we to tell God what He can do or not do? With that being said there are lying signs and wonders with the majority of what you see on TV falling into that category. I want to allow God to move as He desires. As with all things, the Word is our standard. And all should be held up to the light of scripture. So when I hear that people in Muslim countries are coming to faith through dreams, I say amen.
QUESTION: Lately the show The Chosen has been coming up in conversation in my family more and more. Some love it but I do not! What are your thoughts about this show? I'd love to hear your take on it brother Woods. There is much about The Chosen that should concern the sincere Christian. This show blends every major religion into one pot: a mystic, pantheistic, ecumenical, feministic, Jesuit, and Mormon golden calf. The director of The Chosen says that the show is more than 95% not based on the Bible, so I wonder why so many people that claim to be Christian love the show? It is candy-coated with Biblical references to appear Bible-based while treating the Word of God as just another book. Personally I think it is heretical and blasphemous. Thank you! Love and appreciate your teaching and faithfulness to rightly dividing the word of truth. God Bless you and your ministry. 🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏♥️
I love The Chosen. it has created even more curiosity in me about God‘s word driven me to God’s word and in many ways has made the stories of the Bible come alive!
@@foreverblessed8584 this show is not scripture it is a television series, Dallas Jenkins has said this many times. Are you saying that every single movie or film about the stories of the Bible should be disregarded as well?
EDIT: I wrote my reply before reading all comments. Now that I have, I’m choosing to leave my reply up because it has added info. God bless you in your search for Truth! I also appreciate your politeness; it is too rare these days. ❤gr Morning Debi. The stories that are ‘coming alive’ to you are not true. A half-truth is a whole lie. Be careful what you put into your soul. The Bible tells us to study Scripture daily and reject what is not true. (Acts ch 17, v 11) If the series has driven you to the Bible, as you learn Truth, you will come to view this series for what it is: a net to bring in those who are comfortable believing a lie. Scripture tells us that in the last days people will seek “smooth things” (lies) over Truth. Can God use it? He used Balaam’s donkey; all things are possible for God. That said, The Chosen is anti-Christ and preparing *those who are **_willfully_** ignorant to accept the coming deception.* I’m not saying that; the Bible is. Be careful what you put into your soul. ❤gr
@@dorothycutler5539 I I imagine by your name your a woman, so by what Dr woods just said women like you and I have to be careful because we are open to being deceived , so could a man answer this question please🥰
I would point you to the Samaritan woman. our bible is so Trustworthy! ☺️ John 4:28-30 [28] So the woman left her water jar and went away into town and said to the people, [29] “Come, see a man who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?” [30] They went out of the town and were coming to him. John 4:39 [39] Many Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me all that I ever did.”
Sounds like you are referring to the controversial verse about a woman "teaching" a man. That word "teach" is very much mis-interpreted. Did it say "not teach the Bible?" No, it did not! That word "Teach" means to instruct as with a sharp tongue...like a verbal lashing. For example, today we might say this: You Tube video title: "Liberal college student gets "taught" by Charlie Kirk". Was Charlie teaching someone? NO! He used his words to win an argument. The scripture is saying that when in public, a woman should honor her husband. She should not speak words that put him down, make him appear silly or stupid, or otherwise have an argument with him in public. Look at all the famous women missionaries: Amy Carmichael, Jackie Pullinger ("Chasing the Dragon"), Elizabeth Elliot whose husband and 3 other men were killed in 1956 in Ecuador on a mission to reach the native tribes. Remember, God gave the spiritual gifts of teaching and proclaiming and prophesy to the Body of Christ which includes both men and women. It never says women cannot/should not evangelize and share the Gospel. Or to lead at home Bible Studies if she knows the Bible really really well, and her husband hardly knows it at all (either b/c he's an un-believer or even a new believer). God never puts such restraints on us. That is called "Legalism". The only place specifically reserved for men is ELDER. The Bible states that an Elder of the church should be a man b/c it is a leadership position. Preaching and teaching are NOT leadership positions.
Pastor Andy, could you get into a little more detail about what subject matter listed in Titus 2:4-5 that the older women are to teach the younger women? Thank you 😊
Sounds like a great topic for personal research! Not all older women walk closely with the Lord. Not all older women have necessarily been saved for very long and may themselves just have started on their Christian journey. But for those women who possess sound doctrine, live sound lives...not prone to over spend or be in love with the things of the world, and who demonstrate Christian maturity...THEY are the ones who can (and should) minister to the younger gals and help them in their walk with the Lord.
I believe discernment comes from your maturity in your walk with Christ. More specifically, I believe that the more you understand God's Word and what the text truly means, the more discernment you will have against false doctrines.
@@Unsung_Guardian that's exactly what I believe. I tried to explain it to my daughter but she insisted of having the gift of discernment. Thanks for confirming my understanding of this.
@@Unsung_Guardian Also bible teaches we should test the spirits to see if they are from God, and that the word of God is the ultimate discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Yes, the more we are grounded in the Word, the more we can have discernment.
Which is the book by Geisler and Nix? I found two and guess you mean the first one: 1) From God to us: How we got our Bible 2) A general introduction to the Bible
I am a Ladies Bible Study teacher. I have an individual in my class who does not come to church because her husband wouldn't. She is a believer. Does anyone know of any Biblical Counseling materials addressing insecurity. There are plenty gals who come and sit a lone or with other gals. She can become clingy of allowed to. Thank you!
I would like to first say how thankful I am for your online ministry. I guess my first question or more like needing clarification is the womens role in the church. I believe and agree with the Bible about womans role in the ministry and teaching. However, Im member of a church where my Pastor won't permit women praying aloud or reading from the bible in church, basically he wont allow a woman to speak in church congragation isnt this taking it a bit far? it just doesnt feel right? My second question and one i often have a hard time understanding is what is the difference between soul and spirit in the Bible or is this word used interchangeably?
If the new is the fulfilling of the old then shouldn’t we look for examples in the old unless Jesus expanded its meaning such as the divorce & adultery passages. We do not find any women in service in the old. Paul explained why this must be. Eve was deceived! She still is!! We are living in the fruits of women’s rule now days. Everywhere I look woman are running corporations churches governments it is a God-awful world we now live in. Cursed are you God said when children and women rule over you. Btw I am a woman
re: question 4...... I admire and respect Jan Markel and have heard you speak favorably about her before, yet she "speaks" to large and small mixed groups with both male and female....she is obviously a very studied and humble woman who God has used in various platforms.....can what she does be considered "speaking" rather that "teaching" or "Preaching" therefore making it OK to listen to her? or what is your position of her Conferences and other speaking engagements?
Yeah---see the problem this causes? Good grief! That a man might learn something from Jan and be edified! Jan is doing exactly what God has called her to do. I much admire her humility and she is a role model. People have long mis-interpreted that verse about "teaching". It never...repeat NEVER says "don't teach the Word...don't teach the scriptures." That word "teach" means to instruct with a sharp tongue...like a verbal lashing. We use that word all the time! Headline: Liberal college student gets "taught" by Charlie Kirk. It means that Charlie won the argument. In the Bible, it means that a woman should not say things in a public setting to put her husband down or make him look stupid. A woman should not argue with her husband in public, but wait until they get home. That is more honoring and pleasing to God.
@@kristenspencer9751you just “sound” like a Marxist feminist. What would a Marxist female sound like? Jan does not teach men from a “pulpit”. Yes she is invited to speak from a man’s pulpit. But do we know God called her? Or she just wants to do this? It is a fair question. You could learn something from him too
QUESTION: in Revelation 13:16 the people are damned after getting the mark, how then in Revelation 16:11 it says they repented not of their deeds? Can they still repent at that time? Or is this people who never took the mark & still blaspheme God?
I have a question. How do I give the gospel to a Hindu person when their first response is that Hinduism existed thousands of years before Christianity.
Edification for me could also be something which I believe and know to be true is that of the gift of praying in a heavenly language which is found in Jude regarding braing in the Spirit building up yourselves relate to the reference in 1 Corinthians 13 where it speaks of both tongues of men and of 'angels'. Which I understand when the disciples spoke in tongues at pentecost it was different languages men speak but in 1 Corinthians 14:2 is taking about a heavenly language that only God understands. There are but two types of tongues that lf man kind which could be diverse languages of Nations and that of a heavenly language that only God understands, but when men are gifted with it it builds that person up when using in prayer. Jude is referring to this and then the Gift given only to those th Spirit give it is that of the ability to speak in a a language of a nation, particular group of people that even he does no know,, but those familiar with it as at pentecost heard their own language which is to be spoken only when it can be interpreted.
I disagree with you Brother regarding new versions that have altered the Holy Bible scriptures. There are many versions that have removed wording regarding the blood of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and the born-again believer’s faith in His shed blood for our salvation.

Hello Dr. Woods! My question is why despite the fact that many were baptized in jesus name, according to the gospel the apostles have to lay down their hands on the people to receive the holy ghost? Thank you in advance for your time and effort. God bless you!
I only see it twice in Acts. Peter, who was given the "keys to the kingdom" was given the role of opening the "door" to the different races of people. The Jews in Acts 2 followed by the Samaritans in Acts 8 and Gentiles in Acts 10.
Paul's laying on hands in Acts 19 is because the Ephesians only knew of John the Baptist baptism.

The issue I have in general is the unscriptural operation of church leadership, not just them setting the rules. The church has been steamrolled by the culture so something is indeed wrong.

And if they did, wearing a hat in church was considered different for women than for men...part of their 'outfit' or outer clothing. That verse in the Bible speaks mainly to the culture at the time, than it is a direction for us today. But we can learn some basic principals from it. To God, it's more about the heart.
@@kristenspencer9751no, it's not just cultural. Why else does it refer to creation and angels observing
The gifts of the Holy Spirit come from God the Father. He gives them as He sees fit. Who are we to tell God what He can do or not do? With that being said there are lying signs and wonders with the majority of what you see on TV falling into that category. I want to allow God to move as He desires. As with all things, the Word is our standard. And all should be held up to the light of scripture. So when I hear that people in Muslim countries are coming to faith through dreams, I say amen.
QUESTION:
Lately the show The Chosen has been coming up in conversation in my family more and more. Some love it but I do not! What are your thoughts about this show? I'd love to hear your take on it brother Woods.
There is much about The Chosen that should concern the sincere Christian. This show blends every major religion into one pot: a mystic, pantheistic, ecumenical, feministic, Jesuit, and Mormon golden calf. The director of The Chosen says that the show is more than 95% not based on the Bible, so I wonder why so many people that claim to be Christian love the show? It is candy-coated with Biblical references to appear Bible-based while treating the Word of God as just another book. Personally I think it is heretical and blasphemous.
Thank you! Love and appreciate your teaching and faithfulness to rightly dividing the word of truth. God Bless you and your ministry. 🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏♥️
Yes it's very evil. Best to stay far away from it
I love The Chosen. it has created even more curiosity in me about God‘s word driven me to God’s word and in many ways has made the stories of the Bible come alive!
@@foreverblessed8584 this show is not scripture it is a television series, Dallas Jenkins has said this many times. Are you saying that every single movie or film about the stories of the Bible should be disregarded as well?
@@foreverblessed8584 I respectfully and strongly disagree with you however, I will check out the series you suggested thank you
EDIT: I wrote my reply before reading all comments. Now that I have, I’m choosing to leave my reply up because it has added info. God bless you in your search for Truth! I also appreciate your politeness; it is too rare these days. ❤gr
Morning Debi. The stories that are ‘coming alive’ to you are not true. A half-truth is a whole lie. Be careful what you put into your soul. The Bible tells us to study Scripture daily and reject what is not true. (Acts ch 17, v 11)
If the series has driven you to the Bible, as you learn Truth, you will come to view this series for what it is: a net to bring in those who are comfortable believing a lie. Scripture tells us that in the last days people will seek “smooth things” (lies) over Truth.
Can God use it? He used Balaam’s donkey; all things are possible for God. That said, The Chosen is anti-Christ and preparing *those who are **_willfully_** ignorant to accept the coming deception.* I’m not saying that; the Bible is. Be careful what you put into your soul. ❤gr
Let’s say a women is walking in the street and an unsaved man is open to listening to the gospel can she tell him about the gospel how to be saved?
Yes
@@dorothycutler5539 I I imagine by your name your a woman, so by what Dr woods just said women like you and I have to be careful because we are open to being deceived , so could a man answer this question please🥰
That's Great Commission/sharing His Gospel from Jesus commanded to all believers, different preaching His Words with authority.
I would point you to the Samaritan woman. our bible is so Trustworthy! ☺️
John 4:28-30
[28] So the woman left her water jar and went away into town and said to the people, [29] “Come, see a man who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?” [30] They went out of the town and were coming to him.
John 4:39
[39] Many Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me all that I ever did.”
Sounds like you are referring to the controversial verse about a woman "teaching" a man. That word "teach" is very much mis-interpreted. Did it say "not teach the Bible?" No, it did not! That word "Teach" means to instruct as with a sharp tongue...like a verbal lashing. For example, today we might say this: You Tube video title: "Liberal college student gets "taught" by Charlie Kirk". Was Charlie teaching someone? NO! He used his words to win an argument. The scripture is saying that when in public, a woman should honor her husband. She should not speak words that put him down, make him appear silly or stupid, or otherwise have an argument with him in public. Look at all the famous women missionaries: Amy Carmichael, Jackie Pullinger ("Chasing the Dragon"), Elizabeth Elliot whose husband and 3 other men were killed in 1956 in Ecuador on a mission to reach the native tribes. Remember, God gave the spiritual gifts of teaching and proclaiming and prophesy to the Body of Christ which includes both men and women. It never says women cannot/should not evangelize and share the Gospel. Or to lead at home Bible Studies if she knows the Bible really really well, and her husband hardly knows it at all (either b/c he's an un-believer or even a new believer). God never puts such restraints on us. That is called "Legalism". The only place specifically reserved for men is ELDER. The Bible states that an Elder of the church should be a man b/c it is a leadership position. Preaching and teaching are NOT leadership positions.
QUESTION: Does the Bible say anything about what believers in heaven are doing now at the present time in the presence of the Lord?
I THINK GOD HEARS US ...AS LONG AS IT TOWARD HIM..
Pastor Andy, could you get into a little more detail about what subject matter listed in Titus 2:4-5 that the older women are to teach the younger women? Thank you 😊
Sounds like a great topic for personal research! Not all older women walk closely with the Lord. Not all older women have necessarily been saved for very long and may themselves just have started on their Christian journey. But for those women who possess sound doctrine, live sound lives...not prone to over spend or be in love with the things of the world, and who demonstrate Christian maturity...THEY are the ones who can (and should) minister to the younger gals and help them in their walk with the Lord.
Where do we submit questions?
What about discernment? Is it a gift?
I believe discernment comes from your maturity in your walk with Christ. More specifically, I believe that the more you understand God's Word and what the text truly means, the more discernment you will have against false doctrines.
@@Unsung_Guardian that's exactly what I believe. I tried to explain it to my daughter but she insisted of having the gift of discernment. Thanks for confirming my understanding of this.
@@Unsung_Guardian Also bible teaches we should test the spirits to see if they are from God, and that the word of God is the ultimate discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Yes, the more we are grounded in the Word, the more we can have discernment.
Minute 8:19 in video
Yes - discerning between spirits (identifying the spirit behind something) is supernatural
🙏
Pastor Andy, isn't "unbelief" the unforgiveable sin? Would you please expound on this, thank you.
Which is the book by Geisler and Nix?
I found two and guess you mean the first one:
1) From God to us: How we got our Bible
2) A general introduction to the Bible
Shld be. Amazon site will have brief description
Reminds me of The Dave Hunt /TA Q&A..
I am a Ladies Bible Study teacher. I have an individual in my class who does not come to church because her husband wouldn't. She is a believer. Does anyone know of any Biblical Counseling materials addressing insecurity. There are plenty gals who come and sit a lone or with other gals. She can become clingy of allowed to. Thank you!

PRAYING IS TALKING TO GOD JESUS IT DOES NOT MATTER WHETHER YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES OR BOW
I would like to first say how thankful I am for your online ministry. I guess my first question or more like needing clarification is the womens role in the church. I believe and agree with the Bible about womans role in the ministry and teaching. However, Im member of a church where my Pastor won't permit women praying aloud or reading from the bible in church, basically he wont allow a woman to speak in church congragation isnt this taking it a bit far? it just doesnt feel right?
My second question and one i often have a hard time understanding is what is the difference between soul and spirit in the Bible or is this word used interchangeably?
If the new is the fulfilling of the old then shouldn’t we look for examples in the old unless Jesus expanded its meaning such as the divorce & adultery passages. We do not find any women in service in the old. Paul explained why this must be. Eve was deceived! She still is!! We are living in the fruits of women’s rule now days. Everywhere I look woman are running corporations churches governments it is a God-awful world we now live in. Cursed are you God said when children and women rule over you. Btw I am a woman
re: question 4...... I admire and respect Jan Markel and have heard you speak favorably about her before, yet she "speaks" to large and small mixed groups with both male and female....she is obviously a very studied and humble woman who God has used in various platforms.....can what she does be considered "speaking" rather that "teaching" or "Preaching" therefore making it OK to listen to her? or what is your position of her Conferences and other speaking engagements?
Yeah---see the problem this causes? Good grief! That a man might learn something from Jan and be edified! Jan is doing exactly what God has called her to do. I much admire her humility and she is a role model. People have long mis-interpreted that verse about "teaching". It never...repeat NEVER says "don't teach the Word...don't teach the scriptures." That word "teach" means to instruct with a sharp tongue...like a verbal lashing. We use that word all the time! Headline: Liberal college student gets "taught" by Charlie Kirk. It means that Charlie won the argument. In the Bible, it means that a woman should not say things in a public setting to put her husband down or make him look stupid. A woman should not argue with her husband in public, but wait until they get home. That is more honoring and pleasing to God.
@@kristenspencer9751you just “sound” like a Marxist feminist. What would a Marxist female sound like? Jan does not teach men from a “pulpit”. Yes she is invited to speak from a man’s pulpit. But do we know God called her? Or she just wants to do this? It is a fair question.
You could learn something from him too
QUESTION: in Revelation 13:16 the people are damned after getting the mark, how then in Revelation 16:11 it says they repented not of their deeds? Can they still repent at that time? Or is this people who never took the mark & still blaspheme God?
I have a question. How do I give the gospel to a Hindu person when their first response is that Hinduism existed thousands of years before Christianity.
So did satan! That’s one answer. But Christ was still there as creator of all. John 1
I would love a more thorough teaching on dichotomy and trichotomy.
Edification for me could also be something which I believe and know to be true is that of the gift of praying in a heavenly language which is found in Jude regarding braing in the Spirit building up yourselves relate to the reference in 1 Corinthians 13 where it speaks of both tongues of men and of 'angels'. Which I understand when the disciples spoke in tongues at pentecost it was different languages men speak but in 1 Corinthians 14:2 is taking about a heavenly language that only God understands. There are but two types of tongues that lf man kind which could be diverse languages of Nations and that of a heavenly language that only God understands, but when men are gifted with it it builds that person up when using in prayer. Jude is referring to this and then the Gift given only to those th Spirit give it is that of the ability to speak in a a language of a nation, particular group of people that even he does no know,, but those familiar with it as at pentecost heard their own language which is to be spoken only when it can be interpreted.
I disagree with you Brother regarding new versions that have altered the Holy Bible scriptures. There are many versions that have removed wording regarding the blood of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and the born-again believer’s faith in His shed blood for our salvation.
