Comments on: A couple of interesting links http://strivetoenter.com/wim/2007/08/24/a-couple-of-interesting-links/ This blog is for dialogue on the issue of women in ministry and the freedom for women to teach the bible in a public setting. It is also for questions and answers on our DVD entitled "Women in Ministry: Silenced or Set Free?" This 4 DVD set answers the hard passages of scripture that seem to restrict women's ministry.

Dunsman, This is one thing that I am very passionate for - holding to the scriptures as completely inspired the way they are written with their inspired words and inspired grammar. This is the one thing that has helped me the most to find answers to things that others haven't because I pay attention to the inspired words that others disregard. I figure that if God inspired the words, they must be there for a reason. From there, I just look hard for the reason. Thank you for standing with me! Cheryl Chuck,

You are welcome!

Dunsman,

I'm working on a second masters in biblical languages/textual criticism student and I think you've done a great job interacting with these folks. I appreciate your stand on the inspiration of the text and agree with your position. Cheryl,

I'll have to remember that one. Thanks! Cheryl, Thanks for the link. I'd had these ideas on authority in my head for a long time, and finally tried to get them out. I didn't realize at the time that the guy whose question I was answering was really into male headship and such. No wonder he never responded to the post! God bless you, Chuck Don,

You may be interested in <a href="http://www.triumphpro.com/lxx.htm" rel="nofollow">This Article</a> which deals with criticisms of the LXX. I think Mr. W. has oversimplified the issues and ignored important evidence in his assertion that the LXX is unreliable. As for preterism, that too has been thoroughly debunked IMHO, and I recommend <a href="http://theology.fether.net/index.php?id=53" rel="nofollow">This Article</a> and also <a href="http://cyber.wmis.net/~ixthys/gpdd-mill-3.htm" rel="nofollow">This One"</a> which covers both Preterism and hermeneutics.

I read him as part of my studies and consider him a faithful teacher. Thanks for the other post, authority is an often misunderstood concept and it can result in abuse if someone does not realize that someone can act outside of their God-given authority.
