Neither do you in saying somebody has condemed you to hell!
You're right, I don't know any mans heart but I can read his words.
Worse when you stand in front of God. BTW do you Fear God at all?
I serve God and I believe in Him. Why fear God when you can Love him instead?
But you believe you will be Reincarnated to escape it!
I already told you that I am asking people who believe on both sides what they think and why they think it so I can make an educated decision based on facts and not blind faith. I didn't say I believe 100% in reincarnation, and I didn't say I believe 100% in your beliefs. There are also many different ways to believe in reincarnation, just like Christianity. Not everyone believes that after hell people are reincarnated.
1. Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
This verse proves what I was saying. Man is not supposed to do things for a reward. The other verses confirm that the "reward" is God's promise to man, they are not something that man is supposed to strive for.
I still haven't seen the reply to the rest of what I was saying:
sum·ma·ry: adj. Presenting the substance in a condensed form; concise: a summary review.
Verse 39: Therefore, brethren, desire earnestly to prophecy, and do not forbid to speak in tongues.
Verse 40: But all things must be done properly and in an orderly manner.
I see in these verses mention of tongues but not women speaking, and that would have been a huge thing for any letter to say and it would not have been fitting to say it in two verse and not even mentioned in the summery. That is like the Doctor writing his whole examination report on how he discovered that you have diabetes but only writing a sentence on his discovery of your cancer.
I guess everyone can interpret this how they see fit just as many other parts of the Bible. That is fine it is what adds distinction through out the world.
You probably feel sorry for me because you feel that I do not have faith that the Bible is infallible, just as I feel sorry that you cannot conceive that imperfect men may have tampered with the Bible for material gains of wealth and power. Either way we could go back and fourth debating for weeks whether this book has been messed with or not.
One parting concept I would like to leave in you minds though is that women have had power all through time even in the Bible so it seems odd to me that after all that it would be taken away in the new testament. After all Jesus was "The Prince of Peace" right, so why take away a woman’s free will and give her to a man to control.
Genesis 1:26-30 is written before Eve was created yet it clearly states that Man was made male and female and as a whole had power over every living thing. Also women was made from man God could have made her from soil but he didn't he made her from man meaning to me that she is the same as he.
