WOMAN’S GOD-GIVEN VALUE

LESSON 8 OF 8

APOSTLE PAUL

 

Paul wrote much inspired scripture, but he sometimes deviated so as to give his personal opinion apart from the Holy Spirit as we shall see in I Corinthians chapter seven.

 

Paul was totally in line with the social customs of his day. This meant that he had the same sexist ideas of all the other men of his day. They did not value women.

 

In chapter seven he deals significantly with women and the subject of marriage. However, Paul puts a disclaimer in verse 12 specifically saying that his teaching on the subject is not by inspiration of the Holy Spirit. It is his words, and his alone. He says, “But to the rest I speak, not the Lord.”

 

This smacks against the common teaching that every word of the New Testament is the inspired word directly from God. In order to maintain such belief, you would have to call Paul a liar.

 

Paul says it again a second time in verse 40 where he says, “after my judgment…” He does say then that he thinks that his personal thoughts are in line with Holy Spirit, but it is still “my” thoughts or judgments.

 

Paul expresses his personal opinion relating to women in the book of I Timothy. There he speaks of women in chapter 2:9-15 in a very disparaging discourse. He criticizes their physical presentation, accuses them of causing sin (v. 14) to come upon us, and says her only true redeeming value (v. 15) is “saved in childbearing.” He further says in verses 11-12, “Let the woman learn (the word) in silence with all subjection (to men) … I suffer (allow) not (for) a woman to teach, nor to usurp (exert) authority over the man, but to be in silence (quiet subjection.)

 

This goes contrary to the heart of God whose heart for the equality of woman was seen as God Himself raised up the likes of Deborah, Jael, Esther, the “virtuous” woman (Prov. 31), Lydia, and Golda Meir. That totally defeats Paul’s sexist personal view of women which he allowed to taint his letters.

 

He continued his personal discriminatory view in I Corinthians 14:34-35 where he again says they are to keep silent in church and never to speak. If they wish to learn anything, they must wait until they get home and ask their husband about it. Paul repeats the criticism of women again in I Timothy 5:11-15.

 

I believe Paul expressed these restrictions because of the fact that it was the common social view about women and about man’s supremacy over them. Therefore, he would give these instructions so as not to “rock the boat” and cause disputes within the church. He speaks elsewhere of the “liberty” we have in Christ. He might have feared that such “liberty” would see women move in the Holy Spirit and speak out in church these creating a “scene.” If that was his motivation, I can understand that he would wish to avoid creating a scene which goes against the cultural norms.

 

Nevertheless, Paul clearly did not have the heart of the Father. His Holy Spirit moves on men and women alike.

DON’T BE DECEIVED

 

In Matthew 24:24 it says, “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.” The word “Christs” means a spurious or false Christ. Since Jesus is “the” real Christ, or the anointed one, then a false Christ would be someone that appears to have an anointing, but it does not come from God.

 

In Exodus 7 Moses has been told by God that Pharaoh’s heart would be hardened. Pharaoh had sorcerers that “copied” Moses’ performance with black magic. Moses threw his rod down and it became a serpent. They also threw their rods down and they became serpents. It looked so much like the real thing, but they were operating out of the “antichrist” spirit.

 

In these days that we are living in, we must have the discerning of spirits more than ever. Many voices are speaking, and we need to know the spirit behind these voices, or we will be deceived.  To  know it is God speaking, we must know the real to know the counterfeit.

 

Many believers have never been exposed to the gifts of the Spirit. They may not have been taught they exist, or they have been taught that they have been done away with. Regardless, if you are “in the dark” about these things, you can very easily be deceived. The Holy Spirit resides within each believer. We are told in John 14:26, “…he shall teach you all things.” Some have never been taught that Holy Spirit is a person, yet he is. He is the third person of the Trinity, and very much God just like the Father and Jesus. The three work together in unity as one. Holy Spirit will guide us into all truth (John 16:13) All means all. Not part, but ALL. So, to keep from being deceived you must allow Holy Spirit to guide you. How does He do that? He does it through the inner witness and he enlightens the Word of God as we read it.

 

When you study the Word of God never take a verse out of context. Read the entire chapter. See who the verses are speaking to, then ask Holy Spirit to show you the truth in each verse. He will if you ask. 

 

We do not have to be deceived, because we have the truth in the Word. Think of those places in the world that do not have the scriptures. How easily they have been deceived. Americans and many of the world have no excuse because bibles are so easily accessed. There are even online versions of the bible to read. But you must be careful which translation you read. I always go back to the King James Version. There are several versions that leave key words out. I would advise you to avoid the NIV because it leaves very important verses out. The litmus test for a bible is John 3:16.  Many translations leave out the word “only begotten,” which then negates the source of Jesus’ existence.   Use a Strong’s concordance which will give the meanings of words, so you understand them better. Get a Greek and Hebrew dictionary to help you.

 

If you are serious about studying, there are many tools that will help you. Most importantly, sit under someone that has already paved the road. Find a mentor that will help you. Spend time with those that have learned the truth and you will grow. Discipleship keeps you from being deceived.

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION


Pray for the people in Australia. I received word today that in certain parts of the country you cannot go to any store if you aren't vaccinated. Also finding work is nearly impossible if you aren't vaccinated. We see their rights as Christians that oppose the vaccine being stripped away. Many will go through difficult times because of this. Please pray for them.

God still speaks through his prophets.

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION



Just know that God orders the STOPS that can cause DELAYS in your life...Just as He orders the STEPS of your life. Both the DELAYS and the STOPS work in conjunction with your STEPS; Which will ultimately lead you to your life’s purpose and promise. Always remember that God knows the DELAYS and the STOPS can be vitally important to where you’re going. So refuse to worry and to fret about it all. Just be assured that regardless IF God brought this STOP TO you or IF He just allowed this STOP to come FOR you; He is still causing it ALL to work for your good and for His glory. Yes, God has a purpose for the STOP at this time in your life. Oh, I’m sure most of us usually sees a STOP as just another DELAY or even a DENIAL. However, just learn all that you can during this STOP... And determine to make the best of where you are...While on the way to where you’re going. Don’t you ever forget that seasons change... And this too shall pass. Yes, your STOPS can be a blessing; Just as much and sometimes more so than your STEPS are. So rest in this great truth and have a blessed day...While you’re getting from...Point A to Point B. For yes, it takes them both to get you to where you’re going.

A TESTIMONY


My husband and other workers were at a house and one of them got bit inside by a brown recluse. Just like that, the man is dead.

Sometimes we take for granted how long our life with be. I know I did when I was younger. I always felt I would live so long and I would put off being fully committed to God. Thankfully He interrupted that on the street through a man with a track whom I never met before with a message for me. Life will not be as long as we think. That's actually a tactic of satan.

To some this may sound far fetched but when my husband wasn't saved, he said he knew deep down that God was real. I believe everyone does. The Bible shows it as well. He confessed it was a matter of not wanting to change. That is the crux of it. The cost. Only a few on here know me from my teenage years. I was definitely a different person so what would change me so drastically? Why would I want to be the person I am now?


Because I knew who God was when I was a small child and I never forgot that He was better then all the world could offer me. He never gave up on me and continued to call me back to Him. Did I have to give up things? Absolutely, but with my changing heart I've never missed any of it. I only had to surrender. God does the work within.


I won't lie to you, life is hard no matter what but it is but a vapor. That is why Jesus didn't want us to focus on building for ourself in this life but for the life to come. Eternity is forever. You may think that's crazy. I know the natural mind has a hard time accepting hell. Heaven is easy, it doesn't bear any weight on the conscience. The problem is hell is just as real.


Why would a loving God send people to hell? Hell was not made for man but satan and his angels. God spends our whole lives trying to reach us. I know, I lived it out. People in other countries He does the same. He is just. He knows what a person is bound by due to location and culture. He works with that as well.. This is shown in the book of Acts as well as the scripture about looking to the sky and knowing. He brings dreams, He brings people. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, no one gets to the Father but through Him. Apart from Jesus then we end up in Hell. This is not what God wants. He said He doesn't want any to perish apart from Him.

I know many think they live good so it's an automatic way to heaven but God isn't looking at the actions as much as the heart. Even our righteousness is like filthy rags. Only through Jesus are we justified and sanctified (in right standing) There's nothing a mere human can do outside of Jesus.


I know some think well I believe. The Bible says so do demons. A changed life will bear the fruit of repentance, the fruit of the Spirit and the oil of His presence. If it weren't so then Jesus would not have warned us to be wise and full of oil.

I know some believe a persons gifts must mean they are right with God but those gifts are not the fruit of repentance or fruit of the Spirit. No matter how powerfully a person moves in giftings, it is not what measures right standing.


People can apostate. They can completely write it all off and never return. The Bible says it is impossible to come back after that. Do not confuse this with backsliding. The danger however, again is you don't know when your life will end.

We can not earn heaven, Jesus is the only way. He must be Lord and Savior of your life and if He is, it will show. That man that worked with my husband woke up going to work and a spider took him out. Think about that. We don't control our death date. Hell is a place of torment where the fires do not cease and the worm never dies. This is not a scare tactic. Many have seen hell. I have not but I know my mother has and she came back yelling in her hospital bed to me crying out that she didn't want to go back. Please if you have a stirring within, don't harden your heart.
