Jeremy have been asking the holy spirit for his help with this and in regards
to the lame man that Jesus healed I do nt believe that sin was the issue for him just like the blind man was it his parents or did he sin the answer was neither but so that
God would be glorified.What was the sin that may have been worse for him.The two situations are related of the
woman caught in adultery the key words being go and sin no more only two references in the bible and will explain later the lame man we see at first his dependency on everyone else for his needs he cant do it he is in the best position
to receive
Gods grace but what does he do with it.Does he follow Jesus no we are told he goes
to the temple and Jesus finds him now that he has his strength
to do things on his own what his response
to follow the way of the pharisees that is what is worse than his condition before so he is warned by go and sin no more.We get confused because we see the word sin but the giver of is
speaking to him
to go another way means death.Getting back

woman caught in adultery and the lame man here we see a picture of our hearts on the one our love for sin and on the other the desire
to work out our salvation on our terms they are the two areas we have

I have had this experience three times now, on three different occasions, in admittedly similar circumstances, but not similar enough
to explain the coincidence: I am
speaking from a podium
to a fairly large audience on the topics of —
to put it broadly — evil, suffering, and
God; I have been talking for several minutes about Ivan Karamazov, and about things I have written on Dostoevsky,
to what seems general approbation; then, for some reason or other, I happen
to remark that, considered purely as an artist, Dostoevsky is immeasurably inferior
to Tolstoy; at this, a single pained gasp of incredulity breaks out somewhat
to the right of the podium, and I turn my head
to see a
woman with long brown hair, somewhere in her middle thirties, seated in the third or fourth row, shaking her head in wide - eyed astonishment at my loutish stupidity.
Problem definition is time - consuming, a deep journey into our own prejudices and hopes for a Christian faith that actually makes a difference, a horrible awakening that giants of the faith may have little faith in

to destroy the first wife at any cost, and that authors can indeed write good books but run away from
women speaking of their own abuse, and that prior friendships dictate the limits of Christianity....

Craig maybe the definition of teaching men under authority is limited
to that particular area within the church.But that does nt stop
God from working outside those constraints.Mother Etta and no doubt other
women felt compelled
to preach the gospel such as
women missionaries.Mother Etta preached the gospel and many were saved people were healed just as in the day of the disciples it is the same Jesus that saves and delivered from from sin and disease not the fact that it was a man who
spoke behind the altar.Why do you find it hard
to see that
God can use
women just like he uses men
to witness for him.The call
to witness for Christ is for everyone not just men and not just in a church situation.When we limit
God to a narrow view it limits the effectiveness of the gospel.

to God» in their response
to the event about which the witness
spoke (p. 135).

[21] We come
to see that at the heart of the sacramentality of the word of
God is the mystery of the incarnation itself: «the Word became flesh» (Jn 1:14), the reality of the revealed mystery is offered
to us in the «flesh» of the Son... The sacramental character of revelation points in turn

God enters time and space, and
speaks to men and
women, who are called
to accept his gift in faith.»
