Hello World:
This post marks my 100th post of my blog. I want to thank God for giving me the ability to do this. It is because of God that I am able to post all of the information on this blog, and achieve this milestone in history. Now I can say, I blogged online for over a year, and I was able to post 100 posts thanks to Yahweh.
With this post I am still in the series on morality and immorality. I am using different titles to give some variety to search engines in my post. If I was to use the predictable way of titleing my post series, this would be part 4 of the morality series.
Continuing from the last post, I presented scriptures in regards to Paul and the angel of the Lord. We found out last time that Paul said that women should not speak or teach or preach in the church. However, we also found that before Paul even got saved, that the angel of the Lord in the book of St. Matthew gave information to women, both Mary's, to tell the good news of the risen savior Jesus to the disciples. Also, I want to point out that I personally believe that it is okay for women to teach, preach and lead in the church.
Now I want to point out another scripture by Paul, and it is found in 1 Corinthians Chapter 11: Verse 3; "But 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".
I want to try and limit the scriptures because of length. Nevertheless, Paul when He speaks against women speaking in the church, he is going off of something implied in the law, which goes all the way back to when Adam and Eve fell into sin; to which, God made Eve to be subject to Adam or under the authority of Adam. That was one of Eve's punishments.
Also, If you read further through that chapter, Paul goes on to make reference to the fact that the women came from the man; and thereby basically, by senority the man should have authority over the woman. So, basically, Paul here is really affirming a curse of the law placed upon women, which Jesus Christ did away with, immediately, upon raising from the dead.
Paul discussed elsewhere how we are free from the law of sin and death, by Jesus Christ. However, in addition to that he failed to realize here that we are free from all curses, or bondages of the law. The law given to Moses was given to man to live in obedience to God. However, the law or all the commandments did not save man's soul.
Sin and death are some of the curses of the law. Other curses of the law was very strict rules and regulations that were to be followed. One of which the woman being subordinate to the man. However, when Jesus came and died and rose from the dead, He eliminated those curses of the law.
Now, the law which consist of all God's commandments should still be obeyed. I need to explain this further in the next post.

Paul and Women Again
Hello World:
As I talk about Paul, I have alot of scriptures to present. Now, Paul said something that alot of women do not like. Scripture Reference; 1 Corinthians Chapter 14: Verse 34; "Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law."
Verse 35; "And if they will learn any thing let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church."
Remember ladies Paul said all that, not me.
Now, I came to the women's defense before on what Paul said about women. At the time I believe I pointed out that Paul may have said those things because He was having a bad day, or maybe some woman socked him or gave him a hard time that day.
I really was torn as to why Paul said what He said about women, that basically, in the church they need to shut up. Especially, also knowing the FACT that women were the first "HUMAN"preachers of the gospel.
If you check the scriptures, women was the first to announce, after the "angel" revealed it, that Jesus was alive and risen from the dead. It was not Peter who said this, nor John, or Paul, but women first. Scripture Ref:
St. Matthew 28:Verse 1;
"In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre."
Verse 2; "And behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from Heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it."
3) "His countenance was like lightning, and his rainment white as snow:"
4) "And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men."
5) "And the angel answered and said unto the women, fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified."
6) "He is not here: for he is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay."
7) "And go quickly, and tell his disciples that He is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you."
Okay I want to close this post soon here and teach and preach about all the scriptures I placed here; concerning what Paul said, as well as what the angel said. I want to explain who God intends to have as spokepersons in the next post. Do not worry ladies, I have some good news coming here at least in this regard, so please stay tuned.

Outside Information in Morality and Immorality
Hello World:
Awhile back when I was being led to discuss women issues I talked about how several women, today, do not like Paul, and some women have tried really hard to discredit Paul. There are some people who goes to the extent to pull up so called factual documents to show that Paul was not a true follower of Christ, and that He was anti-Jew, or against the Jews and their beliefs.
Also, some have even used Bible Codes to decifer information on the Apostle Paul to show that He was a deceiver of the faith in Jesus. Well, I am not going into the documents about how Paul lived and studied outside of the scriptures. That can be done, but I am not going to do that, because; first, I do not have them, nor have I researched them. Second, I and many Chrisians who know the Bible, really got to know Paul, the man from the scriptures, when He was evil and then was converted.
Now again, I will say it is okay to look at other documentation, outside of scriptures. I do that sometimes; however, you have to be very careful and really examine the documents closely with skepticism if they start contradicting the Word of God.
The documents I use or the information I have looked into in regards to many things, seem to primarily line up in agreeance with scriptures.
In other words, if I told you all something here about Adam, which I have done in the past; and I referenced information or documents not necessarily in the actual Bible; even though it may not be in the actual Bible you can fit all the information together with the scriptures and they will line up with each other. The details which may not be in scriptures of the hows and whys of Adam can be connected from outside of the scriptures, and it will all make sense.
So, I will not say like some people, that the Bible is the only source for Christians to get information. There are some errors in translation in the Bible. Some details are missing or are not told about prominent people in the Bible. So, you do not get all the full details sometimes when reading the bible.
Nevertheless, the Bible still should be our primary source for knowing God and living a Godly life. Please listen to me carefully, because I do not want to be misquoted from what I said above. I am not going to say the Bible, or the Word should be the ONLY source, but I will say that it should be our PRIMARY source. All other outside information should make sense and line up with what the scriptures are telling us.
Such is the case when we, myself, or anyone starts talking about Paul. Some women have used all sorts of everything to bash Paul. Therefore the Lord has led me, back, to talking about Paul in relation to women and Him, God, and Christians in general. I am going to use the scriptures to discuss several things about Paul.
It is the Spirit of the letter, Bible or Word that counts; or God's Spirit giving the message through the letter, Bible or Word that is life giving and most important, more than the literal make-up of the letter itself.
Another thing I want to say, is that I do believe in using the Bible Codes. Although, I think you have to be careful how you use them. The Bible Codes can be used in the wrong way. I want to teach about the Bible Codes at a future date, but not here. However, again, the Bible Codes are a source of information, but not the primary source. I will go into the actuals of Apostle Paul in the next post. I will show according to God's scriptures, the Bible, that the Apostle Paul, although not perfect, was indeed a true man of God.

Morality and Immorality Lead Comments
Hello World:
In talking about morality and immorality, I am not going to teach and preach about those two subjects like your typical preacher teaches or preaches. When most preachers and teachers preach or teach about morals, morality or immorality, they tend to talk mostly about sex and sexual relations.
That is okay sometimes; However, I feel led of the Lord to talk about more than just sex and sexual relationships. Morality and immorality are nouns, or subjects of conduct or behavior. Morality and immorality are behaviors, that are much broader than sexual sins.
The root word of morality and immorality is moral. The word moral, is used here as an adjective to describe that which is right, principled, practically good, decent or clean. To be immoral is the exact opposite of moral.
I am going to discuss many things that are moral and that are immoral. So, you will see me use several of the branch words, from the root word of moral, from time to time.
Alot of the information I provide in here will refer to women; however, I will talk about alot of other different things that everybody need to know. I will go into describing various human behaviors and actions, and how God wants us to behave, act or live.
I want to try to start shortening my post in terms of page length. There is alot I have to talk about, but I want to spread the information out more in shorter posts. First up, in the next post, I will revisit the Apostle Paul. I will discuss some things that have been said about him concerning his relationship with God, Jesus and women. So, this is a developing series that will get interesting.
