You said: Maybe we should be like the Apostles...if someone lies about the money they received, they would die from lying.
RE: You mean you are acknowledging that the Holy Spirit operates differently nowadays. You’re making my points for me.
You said: Maybe we should excommunicate them, or take their names off the Church book.
RE: Are you implying there is never just cause to excommunicate someone?
You said: Seems the Apostles put up with a woman with a Spirit of divination, following them around for a while before casting the demon out.
RE: Okay and your point is what?
You said: I do agree that most Churches exclude women from worship and offices still today. Though Paul said one thing about them one place and something completely different somewhere else.
RE: So, Paul was double-minded?
You said: Which Baptism should we observe, Trinitarian formula, Jesus Name, or in the name of the Lord?
RE: I addressed this on the other post
You said: Do you think the Apostles would enter into a Church building and attend services today, or go to someone's house?
RE: The Apostles wouldn’t even recognize todays Churches as THE CHURCH. Most are merely places to be entertained.
You said: Do you think the Apostles would also attend a Synagogue on the Sabbath (Saturday)?
RE: Synagogue…..HHMM
You said: Do you think the Apostles would like it, no Prophesying or nine Gifts of the Holy Ghost, not operating in the Church? Do you think they would admonish us, to seek to Prophesy?
RE: Which 9 do you have operating in your life?
I have yet to see someon tell someone they would fall dead from lying to the Holy Ghost today, have you?
1 Corinthians 11
1Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
2Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.
3But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
4Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.
5But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.
6For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
7For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
8For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man.
9Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
10For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.
11Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.
12For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.
13Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?
14Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
15But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.
16But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
Why would Paul say something here about women and then say the Church of God and we have no such customs? What is Prophecy, would a woman who Prophesieth and a man does not Prophesy, is she usurping authority over a man?
The Apostles went many places and preached and you're saying they would not go to a modern day church ?
They were Jewish Christian and observed Jewish customs and even preached in the Temple and Synagogues on saturdays (the Sabbath).
