CHURCH WOMEN SILENT

THEY SAY WOMEN SHOULD NOT SPEAK IN THE CHURCH ACCORDING TO PAUL THE APOSTLE. LET US READ ABOUT IT:

Question: "Do women have to remain silent in church?"

Answer: First Corinthians 14:33–35 states, “As in all the congregations of the saints, women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.” At first glance, this seems to be a blanket command that women are never allowed to speak at all in the church. However, earlier in the same epistle (1 Corinthians 11:5), Paul mentions women’s praying and prophesying as allowable activities, and we know that older women are to teach younger women (Titus 2:4). Therefore, 1 Corinthians 14:33–35 must not be an absolute command for women to always be silent in church.

The concern of 1 Corinthians 14, and much of the epistle, is order and structure in the church. The Corinthian church was noted for the chaos and lack of order rampant in that assembly (verse 33). It is interesting that no elders or pastors are mentioned in the book, and the prophets who were there were not exercising control (see verses 29, 32, 37). Everyone in the church service was participating with whatever expression they desired, whenever they desired. As a result, those with the gift of tongues were speaking simultaneously, those with a revelation from God were shouting out randomly, and no one was concerned with interpreting what was being said, even if what was said could be heard above the din. The meetings quickly descended into chaos.

Part of the confusion in the Corinthian church included women speaking in tongues and prophesying; these women were taking the lead in the services instead of being submissive to the authorities in the church (see 1 Timothy 2:11–15). Apparently, certain women in the Corinthian church were also out of order in disruptively asking questions during the already chaotic services. God’s instruction through Paul is that the women should “keep silent in the churches” (1 Corinthians 14:34); the immediate context is prophesying (verses 29–33), and the broader context would include tongues-speaking (verses 27–28).This rule is for “all the congregations of the saints” (verse 33), not just for Corinth. If anyone truly has the gift of prophecy, he or she will recognize the apostle Paul’s authority in this matter (verses 36–38).

The command of 1 Corinthians 14:34 is not that women be absolutely silent in the church all the time. It is only saying that women should not participate in the giving of prophecy, the speaking of tongues, or the interpreting of tongues in the general assembly. These are teaching functions in the church and are thus authoritative; such roles are reserved for men (see 1 Timothy 2:11–12).

Women can take many roles in the church and are “co-workers” in the ministry (Philippians 4:3). The one restriction is that they do not assume a role of spiritual authority over adult men.

Paul the apostle stated that women should be silent in the church, if women are silent, there would be no church because rearly men goes to church. It always be thousands of women in churches ,if they stop, there would be no church or churches on planet earth.

DEGRADING PASSION

WHEN YOU GET INTO THE FACE OF GOD AND WANT TO RUN THINGS, GOD WILL TURN YOU OVER IN THE HANDS OF SATAN. READ THE FOLLOWING BIBLE VERSES:

God's Wrath against Sin
…Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural,… Romans 1: 24-26

We wonder why this world is so evil and full with darkness, is because man wants to over throw God, and do the things that Satan puts in their minds to do. Wake up Christians, put on your garment of knowledge, serve the true and living God. Fight the good fight of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Another thing that is blocking some Christians knowledge, the do not know that the baptism of Jesus Chris is different from the Baptism of Peter. Note that Jesus left this Command, by saying,
“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:  Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” Matthew 28: 19-20
He is sending us on a journey to call all nations unto him. He wants you to do as he said, not what you want to do. Now, go tell all nations about the true and living God.
Peter’s Baptism, note how excited he was when he was calling people to be baptized. He said,
“Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” Act 2:38
Now, look at the difference –Jesus sent and peter called. Jesus command and Peter is excited. Understand that Jesus is God,  He said to Philip, “Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?” John 14: 9
Everyone that is called by God will know the truth- the truth is, Jesus is God-three in one. Moreover, if you are still lacking knowledge of who Jesus is, fast and pray for clarity.
God bless you. Study to be approve…

SEXUALLY INCLINED

What January Wants

                          January wants to be married to a young beautiful woman, with the consent of others

January is a fascinating character who is sexually inclined. He wants a young woman twenty years old to be his forever love. What is nauseating; January is sixty years old, what is he doing with a young twenty year old woman?  His audience would say that he is looking for a soul mate or a sex slave, since his life depends on sex. Geoffrey Chaucer who somehow connect from the Canterbury Tale to the Merchant Tale to elaborates the desire of January’s ambition on marriage may have know someone who has been through this same scenario, and he is using January to live it out since he did not get the chance to do it himself.  January wants to get married, yes. However, at the same time he is lacking confidence; in the sense of wanting to obtain advice from his brothers, Placebo and Justinus and friends.  Telling them of his determination to get married, because he is an old man, and he want a wife but she should be young and beautiful. She must not be more than twenty years old. He needs to mold her like wax in his hands. Many of his friends tell him their perspective about what they believe would be good or bad for him. First, Placebo whose name fulfills the a false substance “Placebo” according to the American Heneritage Dictionary, Placebo is a medication that his prescribe to reinforced patient’s expectation to get well. (Inactive). I am using this false medication to demonstrate the Name Placebo, along with the advice he gives to his January. Placebo knew that January is sixty years old. He needs his advice on who to marry because he feels like getting married to a younger woman. “Placebo told him it was all right to get marries to whomever he wants. He even mentioned King Solomon to satisfy is advice to January.  I believe he has given January a false advice because January is far too old to marry a twenty years old girl. Therefore, as the pill is fake, Placebo’s advice is fake.   In fact he told January to do exactly want he pleased”  (1570).  Justinus “believes that it was not a good idea for January to get marry to a younger woman, he asks him to be more careful of making such decision. He believes a young wife is someone who will cheat on a old man. (1565).  Some praise him and some disagree.   Out of all the advice January gathered, he feels placebo’s was the right one.  “ it is only a “curse man”  that would argue against not getting married”  After January gave that speech, his friends feels that it was right to get married after all.

            High fantasy and curiosity flears his mind, that drove him into the market place to find a beautiful wife. He said, Fair women and fair bodies are the reflection of his thought. He said, “ many fair shape and many of a fair shape and many a fair visage Ther passeth through the night by night.  As whoso toke a mirour polished bright And sette it a commune market-place,  Then sholde he see many a figure pace by his mirour; and in the same wyse” ( 1577- 1580). These women that January are looking for their bodies images reflect in his face like a mirror. To him they can all be found in the market place. In this tale, on every every page, one can read that in the medieval Era it seems like men were the dominates vessel that uses women to their convince. In addition, I believe that is why Chaucer writes this tale to demonstrate the oppression of women during those days.  What January really wants, is not a real wife per sa, he feels that he is sixy and he needs someone to takes care of him, domestically and sexually.  in line 1600 of Merchants Tale, he pretend to be poetic when he says, “ For love is blind al day and may nat see. And whan that was in his bed y-brought,  He purtreyed inhis herte and in his thought hir fresshe beautee and hir age tender Hir myddle  small, hir arms longe and sclendre,” ( 1600-1605). January shows himself to be a pathetic sexually inclined foolish old man.  He takes the time to platform an image of the woman that he wants in his mind, by describing every part of her physical anatomy.  By reading further in the tale he speaks of his happiness, by saying that a man that finds a young woman somehow finds something fascinating. He feels that one must chose happiness or sorrow. “It must have been why the tale opens with weeping and wailing” (1215).

What does January wants at his age? he wants to really settle down, he feels that if he gets married, that would enable him to inherit the kingdom of heaven. Thus the tale indicates the believes of marriage to be the Purgatory as the Merchant describes it as paradise offered by Clerk.   According to the language in the tale, as the narrator explains it, it shows that January do not love anyone, his entire ambition is based on sex. He is like an hungry Lion in the wilderness who has not eaten for days, and suddenly finds its prey to be ravished. That is how January portrays himself.  In the tale, as much as January shows his eagerness for May, there was enmity in the mist of them, Damian who May loves, and he returns the same. January who is physically blind to his wife character when it comes to her loving another him.  The physical blindness that January has is because his wife is having an affair with Damian and he refrained from seeing it.  See (2150); in the mist of the ceremony, May was advising, by using body language how to get up into the tree for them to have heavenly sex; foolish January took her straight to the tree. Why? he was blind to everything.   Damian enter January‘s “Garden of Eden” snatch is beautiful wife” (2325). Who he compared to look like Queen Esther In the Bible.  According to Esther Chapter, She was a virgin, and a beautiful Queen. As January hunted the market place to find May to be his wife; in the story of Esther, King Ahasuerus who Reigns throughout India and Ethiopia, rich and powerful King. Sent his servant to look for him a young virgin, fair. (Esther 2: 2). January pinpoints that very pattern when he seeks for May in the market place.   January’s downfall with May cheated on him with Damian, is cause from been hardhead.   Justinus has told him in the beginning that if he marries a younger woman he is going to have problems. Because younger woman always looking for a younger man.  He refused such advice and listen to Placebo, the one that lacks understanding of what marriage is all about. “He told January do exactly what you please” (1570).

What January wants, a beautiful woman, who in the end opens his blind eyes?   In the sense that Damian sat high in the pear tree, waiting for May, there they have sex, while January a foolish old man is nailed down by his wife, cleverness, as she allows Damian to ravished her.  The narrator shows that Pluto immediately restores January’s sight, that he may see who the real May is.  It seems like Proserpine knows May’s tricks, he tells her, “Somebody who has their sight restored will not believe the things they are able to see” (2310).

In conclusion: It is sad to know that May uses January’s last of vision against him, when she knew she was not struggling with a man, she was really having an affair. I blame the Narrator, to allow the wicked characters to get away with the wickedness they have done to anuary, because he is old. Merchant’s  has no punishment for May, or Damian.  It is unfair. They should be punished for their sins.

YOUTH GROUP-WEEPING WOMEN

Our youth are facing rough time in today’s world. They are influence by alcohol drugs, guns, sex crime and violence. This is globally intense. The question is what can we do to save their lives from an early grave and prison? The only solution to the cry of the youth is that women get together, form small groups in churches, their homes, in schools, and pray to God to have mercy on these children. The rate they are going right now, they need grace and mercy from God to save their souls from the cemetery. Every time you listen to the news, someone was killed. We need to pray that things will change in our community. We need to ask God to change our children attitudes and to bring them to salvation and taking them off alcohol and drugs that is influencing them to do evil to themselves. In Jeremiah 9 God asked that, women should get together and pray to save our children from dying premature death.

“Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for cunning women, that they may come:” (Jeremiah 9:17) ( Read the entire chapter).

Weeping in Jerusalem
Thus says the LORD of hosts, "Consider and call for the mourning women, that they may come; And send for the wailing women, that they may come! "Let them make haste and take up a wailing for us, That our eyes may shed tears And our eyelids flow with water.…(Jer. 9: 17-18).

God knows that women felt the pain in giving birth; this is why I believe he asked that they should weep and mourn for their children.

In addition, please read these bible verses below:

Ezekiel 27:2
"Son of man, take up a lament concerning Tyre.

Ezekiel 32:16
"This is the lament they will chant for her. The daughters of the nations will chant it; for Egypt and all her hordes they will chant it, declares the Sovereign LORD."

Amos 5:1
Hear this word, Israel, this lament I take up concerning you:

Amos 5:16
Therefore this is what the Lord, the LORD God Almighty, says: "There will be wailing in all the streets and cries of anguish in every public square. The farmers will be summoned to weep and the mourners to wail.

Micah 2:4
In that day people will ridicule you; they will taunt you with this mournful song: 'We are utterly ruined; my people's possession is divided up. He takes it from me! He assigns our fields to traitors.'"

Treasury of Scripture

Thus said the LORD of hosts, Consider you, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for cunning women, that they may come:

I personally believe that if we love our children we will do whatever it takes to having them walking in the right path. I am a community pastor who spent quality time in the worst part of every street in my community trying to encourage the young people to make a turn from doing evil and doing good. I am trying to get them to finish high school and move unto college. I am hoping that God will give me the strength to continue in guiding them. Saturday all day I was on the street passing out flyers, paying them to go to church. I will do anything, to help these children, I hate when they commits a crime and are pick-up by the police. I need them not to go to jail or prison, but to instruct them to abide by the law of God and men. One thing I know for sure when a child is taught from an early age to respect God and their community, it instilled in he or she and such up bringing will never depart from that child. The word of the Lord says,

“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”( Proverbs 22: 6). Self-discipline is very important to our children. A child lives what he or she learns.

The ultimate goal should be for parents to work themselves out of a job. Eventually, your kids shouldn’t need you anymore. In order to assist them with this, parents need to help kids learn discipline. Children are like sheep, they are blind if they are not train well they will go astray-following strange voices. My parents taught us to fear God and respect those who set above us. We were taught to respect authorities, our teachers, the elderly, the people in our village, our pastors. Etc.  I call that wisdom. I grew to obey all those rules and today I am able to teach my children and others the things I was taught by my parents. I strongly believe that if we take the time to form small groups as females, we could accomplish a lot in helping the youth in our community to overcome the odds.

I acknowledge that they love to be hugged and receiving a smile from someone. I take that to be my job in my community, when I meet with them I give a hug and a smile.  WE STANDS PASSIONATELY BEHIND OUR YOUTH- ROCHESTER CHRISTIAN YOUTH   CANTER

“Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.” (Mark 12:32) “Depart from evil, and do good” (Psalms 37:27

And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. (Mark 12: 30)
