Amen Thank you Dr. Mohler! I also got my understanding of a biblical worldview and true truth from Francis Schaeffer!

[@svenskbibel]

My question to Al Mohler would be: Why do evangelical churches allow women to ask questions in church, despite the clear prohibition in 1 Corinthians 14:34-35?
God bless all our women in the churches!

[@HearGodsWord]

I assume that's not a serious point!

[@svenskbibel]

@@HearGodsWord I don't think the text I refer to is a joke.

[@HearGodsWord]

@svenskbibel I didn't say the text was a joke.
This was a Q&A session therefore asking questions was the point.

[@svenskbibel]

Exactly, and the text clearly states that women are not allowed to ask questions in the church. It is simple. So why don't they follow the command?

[@HearGodsWord]

@@svenskbibel you really think this was a church service? 🙄

[@bop-ya-good]

Do baptists believe in the dispensation of grace?

I would be a bit scared. Like babies, they ask hard questions.

About 40min into this now. I imagine that Al knows this but he misspoke when he said Scripture is clear that God doesn't allow a woman to "preach". Scripture actually says "teach". It's "didasko" and not "kerusso" there. (1st Tim. 2:12)
Now, again, just to be clear. When one is preaching they are teaching. So CONTEXT matters and the context of 1st Tim. 2 is wrt a church setting. Where a woman would be teaching in authority over a man. Not necessarily say as a woman "preaching" to a group of women on Tit. 2:3-5, for example. Though I would add that even in that case it should be done under the headship of an Elder.

18min into this and enjoying it. But sad to see the Q&A start off so poorly. The first question is a great question but the question and the answer is built on a false premise. Faith is NOT a "gift" from God and that is NOT what Eph. 2:8 is saying. It VERY SAD to see that SO MANY still hold to that false belief and that Al is still upholding it.
The "gift" spoke of in Eph. 2:8 is Salvation. This has been thoroughly brought out by many but Mike Winger, in his video on the passage perhaps does it best by breaking down that grammatical construction from the Greek.
Aside from that, the very definition of the word Faith refutes the idea that Faith can be a gift. Faith is "belief in action" or "Trust". NOBODY, including God, can give someone "belief in action" or "Trust". That is something that is inherently possessive and MUST be done by the one who has it.
And it the one who exercises Faith that pleases God.
