Satan’s original state. Ezekiel 28:12-15 describes Satan prior to his fall. He enjoyed an exalted position in the presence of God; the brilliance of heaven was his surrounding (28:13). He was called the “anointed…covering cherub” who enjoyed the position of highest honor before God (28:14, 16). Isaiah refers to this supreme angel as “star of the morning (KJV Lucifer; NIV morning star), son of the dawn” (14:12). After he became God’s chief adversary (Heb. Satan) he is never again called by any of these honorable titles. But in his prefall splendor he was filled with wisdom and beauty, and he was blameless (Ezek. 28:12, 15).
Satan’s fall. Satan’s fall is described in both Ezekiel 28 and Isaiah 14. Because of his sin Satan was cast from the presence of God (Ezek. 28:16). The reason for Satan’s downfall was his pride; his heart was lifted up because of his beauty, and his wisdom became corrupt (28:17). The statement indicates Satan must have had extraordinarily high rank that led to his pride. Isaiah 14:12-14 further describes the sin that led to his downfall. Five “I will’s” emphasize his sin (14:13-14). He desired to enter the very presence of God and establish his throne on God’s throne above the other angels. He wanted to be like the “Most High.” For that reason God thrust him down out of heaven.

The Cornerstone Biblical Commentary explains it like this:
never again be uprooted.
God’s forgiveness is complete and his restoration permanent. The future Israel in view has paid the price for covenant trespasses and is assured continual occupation of the land of covenant promise. Yet the subsequent history of Israel shows that the people were displaced from the land again and again by foreign invaders. Some commentators identify the ultimate fulfillment of Amos’s promises of God’s restoration of Israel with the promises fulfilled in the church as the “Israel of God”. Others view Amos’s salvation oracles as a later stage of development in an eschatology that culminates in the kingdom of the Messiah (distinct from the church or church age; cf. Matt 24; Rev 20).

I don't sense any compassion for the Jewish families who were uprooted from their homes. If you were a Jewish citizen exiled from your nation Isreal, would you buy into such a metaphysical interpretation? Or would you angrily claim Amos to be a false prophet? I'm sure Amos was intending to encourage his community with hope. |

Infinity700,
I'm not sure if you are trying to make a different point, but if you are saying that Amos is a false prophet you are in violoation of the terms of use of these forums. To use these forums you have agreed to abide by and not contradict the notions of sola scriptura. Part of that is that all of the Bible is inspired and inerrant. I hope you will respond and clarify to us all that you are not suggesting that Amos was a false prophet.
Furthermore, I encourage you to see how the new testament interprets this passage in acts 15:16 and following verses. It indeed does see the church as the fullfillment of these promises.
In Christ, Beja |

Mitch: I know of no Scriptual reason NOT to have a Christian female as a song leader. But that is again left up to each church.
Personally, women are far more talented than just as a care giver for infants and childre, Why do you ask?

I agree with the others - you need to check with the specific church.
The broader question is whether a Song Leader needs to meet the qualifications of an elder. Many churches consider the Worship Leader position as a pastoral/teaching role since worship music also teaches theology. I personally feel the worship leader needs to be meet the elder qualifications, which would limit this role to men.
"For a woman to serve as a worship leader or music minister in a church is a more difficult issue. Part of the difficulty in making application here lies in the lack of uniform agreement among various church traditions regarding the role and function of one who serves in such a ministry. It is certainly possible for a woman to serve in a position in which she leads in congregational singing during a church worship service. However, it would depend on how that particular church understands the degree of authority that she holds over the assembled congregation and the extent to which she provides instruction. Is her position understood as one of authority over the congregation similar to a pastor/elder? Does she provide doctrinal commentary between songs or other doctrinal instruction to the choir or congregation? Does her “leading” involve the exercising of authority over others or, rather, providing leadership regarding timing, tempo, music, etc.? Does she direct the church to a particular song in a hymnal and invite those assembled to praise the Lord, or does she engage in more biblical exhortation like a pastor/elder? Churches ought to take these kinds of questions into consideration when attempting to apply biblical principles to this ministry position."

JPatt: Your are correct it does depend on nondenominational and denominational beliefs. The very fundamentalist nondenominationist churches,generally speaking, do not allow women to partiscipate in worshp services. Some of these fundamentialist churches do not even allow a woman to teach in Sunday School. However, generally speaking, women are allowed to work in the nursery with infants, babies, and toddlers. Perhaps, once they are potty trained the men take over the responsibality of Bible teaching.
My personal beliefe in wonem in the churchnot in agreement with the information above.
I believe women in church ministry is biblical. I agree in the Ordination of women for certian ministryal postitions. Again this is a denominational position that I was Ordained with and pastored in. Blessings.

Pew Potato: Often I have read the position you have stated, and it extends to other points beyond just what you have presented. Usually, when I have asked the question where does the culture at the time, relate to, in Pauls writtings. For instance we do not demand that women cover their heads today. Was head covering for women at the time of Pauls instructions, relating to culture or is it wrong for women not to cover their head today? Blessings.

I believe that the principle of a woman being under her husband's authority is timeless.
1 Corinthians 11:3 (HCSB)
But I want you to know that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of the woman, and God is the head of Christ.
I believe that the head covering as a sign of that authority was cultural.

Pew Potato: I just want to assure you I am not a "Flame throwing Liberal". It is out of respect and kindness that I continue this subject.
Am I right to say you believe women should wore a head covering in church now?
We live near and are close friends with the Mennoite brethern. These dear Christians have made their point of living isolated from the "world" by using horse and buggies and adopting what some say are primitive ways. We are able to look beyond some stark differences, and enjoy some very interesting serious biblical dialogues. I have said this so you better understand my interest with you.
Blessings.

While I whole heartedly believe 1Tim 2:12. I do not in the case of a woman song leader believe that this verse or any of the other verses forbidding women to talk in church would apply. There isn't any usurping of authority or the teaching of man. When it comes to the point of worshiping the Lord were all equal.

I think the physical symbol of a head covering applied to the culture of Corinth, but is not required in our culture. Most Americans do not associate a head covering with submission to authority.
However, I recognize that in some branches of the church, a woman without a head covering would be seen as rebellious. |

Doc
Mine has not necessarily been a Complementarianism point of view of this matter.
It has more to do with the fact the church in some cases can take things to the extreme becoming more Pharisaic in their approach in adhering to the letter of the law rather than the spirit.Thus my comment about
the point of worship.

Yes, ma'am...
I understood the implications. I was helping you clarify.
Compare Complementarianism with Egalitarianism:
http://www.theopedia.com/Egalitarianism
By the way, the Pharisees were closer to the mark than the independent thinking Sadducees (Matthew 22:29). The latter thinking is far more prevalent in our churches than the former!
Hmmm... I wonder if Egalitarianists would appreciate the connotation of being called Saduciaical. :-)

What does Zech 6:1-8 prophesy about |
Answer |
Zech 6:1 |

Greetings Chomba!
Unless Scripture interprets prophecy for us, it is always a futile quest to fully understand it. :-)
However, the basic message can usually be gleaned, if not all of the details.
The message of Zechariah can best be understood as a two fold promise to Israel. A promise that Israel's punishment will not last forever and that those who hurt Israel will be held accountable.
In chapter one of Zechariah, four horses stood for four spirits of God sent out into the world, while four horns represented four great powers in the world who would be judged.
Thus, the easiest way to understand Zech. 6:1-8 is to see the four chariots as going out from God (from Israel, between the two mountains) and into the world to carry out God's judgment.
When did this happen? Most likely it happened when Israel was brought back into her own land again.
I hope this helps!
Your Brother in Christ,
Tim Moran |
