1 Timothy 2.11–14 God’s Creation

The debate is hot but almost always loses to the complementarian view that constrains women believers. Yes. The grounds are on Creation. But today I would like to review why the Creation was taken as the basis of Paul’s argument on this occasion. 11 A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. This is the main Continue reading

1 Timothy 1.15–17 Sample

15 Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners – of whom I am the worst. 미쁘다 모든 사람이 받을 만한 이 말이여 그리스도 예수께서 죄인을 구원하시려고 세상에 임하셨다 하였도다 죄인 중에 내가 괴수니라 Christ who has considered, judged, governed, Paul to be faithful because of the Continue reading

This calling does not stop at Colossae but extends to Laodicea. The word of God has a nature of spreading and multiplying, reaching out to wherever God’s called people are, just as in Jesus’ parables. Remember the parable of ten minas the dear friend doctor Luke told right after the visitation of Jesus to Zacchaeus… Continue reading

Colossians 3.19–25 Remain

Christ did not go on the cross to extract some favour out of God the Father. Can you imagine anything more cunning and deceiving if he did that? Continue reading
