If you hadn't already noticed, that all three worlds of vzones this week was down, and partly up. Their webpage is down too. The reason was for an extended maintenance which ended up turning into a really extended maintenance! Dreamscape has been down for three days, so yours truly couldn't host on Thursday or Friday.

New Horizone and Seducity are back up, sort of you can't access any of the forum pages on either worlds to post notices or anything. So you might say that vzones had a bad week.

JESUS IS JOINED TO SALVATION (PART 2)

From the Truth for the World webpage

Last time we looked at the fact that God has joined Jesus to salvation, that we cannot be saved except through Jesus Christ. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

Certainly the cross is crucial to the matter of salvation. That is where the blood of Christ was shed. The cross is an essential part of God's plan for saving man. It is the very culmination of God's plan for saving mankind. Jesus died the death of Calvary, shed His blood on the cross, to save us from sin; and without the shedding of the blood of Christ, the sinless Christ, the perfect sacrifice, there could be no salvation.

However, we must understand that the shedding of Christ's blood purchased the church, to which all the saved are added when they are obedient to the terms Jesus set forth to become Christians. Those terms or conditions of salvation involve: (1) belief in Christ as the Son of God, (2) repentance from sin (that is, changing our mind about sin and our life of sin and turning away from it), (3) confession of the name of Christ (confessing with our lips that we believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God), (4) baptism into Christ, burial with Him in the likeness of His death, to be raised with Him in the likeness of His resurrection, cleansed there by His blood. It is only in baptism that the blood of Christ is applied from Heaven, figuratively, of course, but essentially, in order for us to be forgiven of our sins.

Saul of Tarsus, later the apostle Paul, was told by Ananias, "...arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord" (Acts 22:16). Sins are washed away in the blood of Christ as the body is buried in that watery grave.

When we come forth from that watery grave of baptism, we are added by the Lord to His church, about which we read in the New Testament. Acts 2:47 says those that were being saved were added to the church, to the body of believers who had been obedient to the terms of Calvary. While the cross is certainly essential to salvation, if we are to receive the crown, we must obey the terms of the cross. We must look to the cross in obedience to the terms or conditions of salvation; but, when we do that, we are added to the church, and we must remain faithful in the church, in that body of believers, in order to be saved, because the saved are in the church.

Today we want to examine the church as an essential part of God's joining Jesus to salvation. Let us look at some Scriptures which clearly show the church is important. In Matthew 16:18,19, Jesus declared, "...upon this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it." Peter had just made the good confession, and Jesus said to him, "And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." In other words, I am going to give you (and, of course, the other apostles) the keys to the kingdom—that is, the terms of admission, the authority to admit those into the kingdom or the church. That was done on the first Pentecost following the resurrection of Christ.

In Acts 20:28-32, it is clear that the very shedding of the blood of Christ was to bring about the purchase of the Church. Paul, speaking to the Ephesians elders, said to them, "Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood." Verse 28 of that text tells us that the church of God, the church that God has ordained established through Christ, with Christ as it's head, was purchased with the very blood of Christ. Now, can anything be unimportant that was purchased with the blood of Jesus Christ? Certainly, it must be important.

Not only is the church of our Lord important but it is immediate. Christ told us when it would be established, and the establishment of the church was in the days just after Christ ascended to the Father. The kingdom, or the church, was near at hand at the time Christ lived among men and preached the gospel. John the baptizer was the forerunner of Christ, and in Matthew 3:1,2, we read, "In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea. And saying, Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

The kingdom of heaven and the church are one and the same institution. If we go back to Matthew 16:18,19, we see Jesus there used the terms "church" and "kingdom" interchangeably. He said, "...upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys to the kingdom of heaven." The church and the kingdom are used interchangeably there in Jesus' promise to build the church.

"In those days came John the Baptist, preaching And saying the kingdom of heaven is at hand." In other words, the kingdom of heaven is close to being established. Let's look at another passage that clearly shows the church was an immediate institution that is, it was about to be established during the New Testament period. In Mark 9:1, Jesus said, "Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power." There the kingdom of God is the same as the kingdom of heaven or the church. Jesus said, "There are some of you standing here who will not taste of death (that is, you will not die) until you have seen the kingdom of God, the church, come into existence." Not only that, He said, "It will come with power."

That is important, because we're going to see the power to which Jesus refers here is mentioned again as He speaks to His apostles in Acts 1:8. He says to them, "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."

Acts 2:1-4 tells us exactly when the Holy Ghost came upon the apostles. This is the record of what took place on the first Pentecost day following the resurrection of Christ and His ascension back to the Father. Notice: "And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place, And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance." Notice the power of the Holy Ghost came upon the apostles on the first Pentecost day following the resurrection of Christ.

What is the argument here of the immediacy of the church? It is that Jesus said it would come before the death of some of those with him at that time. Remember John the Baptist preached, "The kingdom of heaven is at hand." Now notice, Jesus said in Mark 9:1 it would come with power before some of those died to whom He was speaking. Then He told the apostles (Acts 1:8) they would receive power when the Holy Ghost came. So, the power would come when the Holy Ghost came, and Acts 2:1-4 shows us the Holy Ghost came upon the apostles on that first Pentecost following the resurrection of Christ. Thus, that's when the kingdom came into existence. It is a present institution, not a future one. And the kingdom and the church are the same. They are not different.

In an earlier lesson, "The Church is Born," we dealt in detail with the Premillennial theory that the kingdom and the church are different and that the kingdom is some future institution while the church is a present substitute for it. Clearly, the church and the kingdom are the same, and the church is an immediate institution. It is here and now, and it is important.

JESUS IS JOINED TO SALVATION (Part 1)

From the Truth for the World webpage:

We have already seen that God has joined Himself to this universe, that God is the creator of all things. We have seen that God has joined Himself to the Bible, that God is the author of this book, and the evidences are overwhelming to show that this is the case. And, we have seen that God has joined Himself to Jesus, that God and Jesus are one. In John 10:30, Jesus said that He and the Father are one; they are one in nature, one in purpose, one in doctrine. No man can come to God except through Jesus Christ.

Now, that leads us logically to the lesson today: "God Has Joined Jesus to Salvation." There can be no salvation from our sins except through Jesus Christ. He is the author of salvation, and, if any man comes to God, he must come to God through Jesus Christ and through no other. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

In Matthew 1:21-23, Matthew speaks of the birth of Jesus Christ and relates His birth (and His life, of course) to salvation from sin. In Matthew 1, beginning with verse 21, we read, "And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us." Matthew is quoting, of course, from the prophecy of Isaiah as recorded in Isaiah 7:14, speaking of the virgin birth of Jesus Christ. The birth of Christ was in fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy. Notice, he says that his name shall be called "Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins." Jesus is the Savior of all men, of mankind. He is not the Savior of all men unconditionally. His purpose was not to save men despite their disobedience to His will, but Jesus is to save all men only as all men will come to Him.

We know that His purpose in coming to earth was to bring about salvation. Another passage in Luke 19:10 tells us, "For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." In Acts 4:12, we have these words recorded: "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." We can be saved in and through no other name than the name of Christ. And "by that name" is meant by the authority of Christ, By obedience to His will, by submission to His authority may we have eternal life.

In the latter part of Revelation 2:10, Jesus says, "Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life." Jesus is the author of eternal salvation. God has joined Jesus to salvation. In Hebrews 5:8,9, the writer tells us, "Though he were a Son [that is Christ], yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him." He became the author of eternal salvation. To whom? To all who will obey Him. "I will give thee a crown of life," He said—that is, life as our crown. Eternal life that will be the crown for those who are obedient.

How do we achieve the crown? "Be thou faithful." Faithful in what? Well, in our lives, of course. But, before the crown must come the cross. And before the crown must also come the church.

How has God joined Jesus to salvation? By the cross. The cross is involved in salvation. It is the very center of salvation. Jesus made it so, and in John 3:14-17, we have these words: "As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life." Then John 3:16, which we call sometimes the golden text of the Bible, tells us, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Verse 17 says, "For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world: but that the world through him might be saved."

In John 3:14, Jesus said, "As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up." That refers to Numbers 21, when the brazen serpent was erected in the wilderness after God sent fiery serpents among the people after they rebelled and murmured against God and Moses. Many of them were bitten, and they turned back to God in obedience at that point, and cried out for help. God instructed Moses to build the brazen serpent, and He said those who would look upon it would be saved. That was simply a type of the lifting up of Christ ultimately upon the cross, and Jesus made reference to it in John 3:14: "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up." Those who come to me through the cross will be saved is the point Jesus is making.

He said in John 12:32 He would draw all men unto Himself through the cross. The preaching of the cross, according to the apostle Paul in I Corinthians 1:18, "is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God." The terms of the cross, or the Gospel, the good news of the cross, is found in I Corinthians 15:1-4, where there the apostle Paul writes of the death, the burial, the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The blood that was shed on the cross brings forgiveness of sins.

Ephesians 2:12-6 is a very critical passage along this line: "That at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity."

God hath made both Jew and Gentile one in Christ, in one body, through the cross, by the shedding of the blood of Christ. That one body is the church. But, one must be added to the church, or reconciled to God through the cross, by the shedding of Christ's blood on the cross.

How does one contact the blood that was shed on the cross? That blood was shed in the death of Christ. In John 19:34, we read that the soldiers came to break the legs of Christ and those who were crucified with Him, to hasten their death, so they could take them down from the cross before the Jewish Sabbath came into effect. When they came to Christ, however, they found He was already dead, so they didn't break His legs. But, in John 19:34, we read that a soldier with a spear pierced the side of Christ and "forthwith came there out blood and water." Where was that blood then shed? Where did it flow from the side of Christ? It was in His death, was it not?

The Scriptures teach that we contact the saving blood of Christ in the likeness of His death, which is baptism, burial in water, where not the water but the blood of Christ is applied from Heaven itself, to cleanse us from all sin. That's exactly what the apostle Paul tells us in Romans 6, beginning in verse one. In verses 3 and 4 he said we are buried with Christ through baptism, raised with Christ to walk in newness of life. We're buried with Him, we're raised with Him, and the walk in newness of life begins on the other side of the watery grave of baptism.

Paul makes clear that same point in Colossians 2:12,13, where he says that we're buried with Christ, we're raised with Christ, we're made alive together with Him. Paul says we're made alive spiritually together with Christ. When was Christ made alive physically from the dead? Was it while He was still hanging on the cross that He came back to life? No, He was in the tomb, wasn't He? Paul says we are made alive together with Him. Therefore, where is it that we're made alive together with Him? It is in the tomb. What tomb? The tomb of baptism, the watery burial. How much clearer could it be that spiritual life cannot begin until we are buried with Christ in the likeness of His death, that watery tomb, where not the water but the blood of Christ is applied? That's where God promised to meet us, so to speak, in Christ, and to apply His saving blood. It must be applied somewhere, mustn't it? It's not applied universally to all men who have ever lived without their obedience to the will of God through Christ as seen in the Gospel. But it's applied as we are willing to be buried with Him in baptism for the forgiveness of sins. That's where we are cleansed by the blood of Christ, buried with Him and raised with Him, made alive together with Him.

So many stumble at the point of baptism in God's plan for saving man through Jesus Christ. Now, if God has joined Jesus to salvation, then, obviously, we must be joined with Him in obedience to His will.

"Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life" (Romans 6:3-4).

INFANT BAPTISM

From the Truth for the World webpage

There are some churches who sprinkle water on babies and call it baptism. Is infant baptism from heaven or from men? We will show in this article why infant baptism is wrong.

Before a person can be baptized, he must be taught. "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost" (Matthew 28:19). A person must also believe before they are baptized. "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned" (Mark 16:16). It is a command of God that everybody must repent to obey God. "And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent" (Acts 17:30). We must confess Christ in order to be saved. "Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I deny before my Father which is in heaven" (Matthew 10:32,33).

Can an infant do any of these things? No! Neither does the infant have any sin which needs to be forgiven. Jesus said, "And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 18:3). We become sinners when we break God's law. Paul said, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). We do not have sin until after we transgress the law of God. The apostle John wrote, "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law" (1 John 3:4). Since sprinkling babies (infant baptism) is not from God, it is from man.

ORIGINAL SIN

Why do people want to baptize babies? It is because they believe babies are born with sin. The Bible does not teach this. Each person is responsible for his own sins. Ezekiel said, "The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him" (Ezekiel 18:20). Our spirit comes from God. God does not give people an evil spirit. "And the spirit shall return unto God who gave it" (Ecclesiastes 12:7). Those who go to heaven are to be like little children. If children were sinners, Jesus would not tell us to be like them. "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 19:14).

CONCLUSION

Since a person must hear and understand, believe, repent, and confess his faith in Christ before being baptized, this does not include infants. Also, until they reach the age where they are able to tell the difference between right and wrong, they are safe.

The practice of infant baptism is from man, not God. We do not have the authority to practice it.

 HOMOSEXUALITY

From the Truth for the world webpage

There are those who want people to believe homosexuality is normal. Jesus tells us what is normal. And He answered and said to them, "Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning made them 'male and female', and said, 'For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh?' So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate" (Matthew 19:4-6).

Many religious leaders are defending this practice. The United Methodist Church recommended their members accept homosexuals as "persons of sacred worth" and welcome them into fellowship of that Church. The Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Netherlands made a report saying that homosexuality should not be something to keep a person from becoming a pastor in their Church. The United Church of Christ has ordained homosexuals into their ministry. There is even a homosexual denomination in the United States called the Metropolitan Community Church.

There is much confusion in our society, just as there was in the days of Isaiah. Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! (Isaiah 5:20). Just because some people say that homosexuality is right, does not make it so!

Some say we should not be talking about this issue, because it is a political issue. However, it was a moral issue long before it was a political issue. The Bible teaches us homosexuality is sin. If a person does not repent and stop the practice, they will be lost eternally.

THE BIBLE CONDEMNS THIS PRACTICE

The first example of homosexuality is found in the city of Sodom. The wickedness of the city is described in Genesis 19:4-7. Men, both young and old, wanted to have sexual relations with Lot's male visitors. The New Testament confirms this is a true account (cf. Matthew 11:23,24; Jude 7; 2 Peter 2:6-8).

Sodom and Gomorrah serve as the standard by which other sins are compared (Isaiah 3:9; 13:19; Jeremiah 23:14; Matthew 11:23,24).

THE LAW OF MOSES CONDEMNED HOMOSEXUALITY

Note three passages condemning this practice. You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination.... Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for by all these the nations are defiled, which I am casting out before you (Leviticus 18:22,24). If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them (Leviticus 20:13). There shall be no ritual harlot of the daughters of Israel, or a perverted one of the sons of Israel. You shall not bring the wages of a harlot or the price of a dog to the house of the LORD your God for any vowed offering, for both of these are an abomination to the LORD your God (Deuteronomy 23:17,18). The word dog here is a synonym for a homosexual. "Dogs" will not be in heaven (Revelation 22:14,15).

Israel's faithfulness was partly determined by the king's attitude toward the perverted persons (homosexuals) in the land (1 Kings 14:22-24; 22:46; 2 Kings 23:7).

THREE SIGNIFICANT NEW TESTAMENT PASSAGES

God, through Paul, makes it clear those who practice homosexuality will not go to heaven. Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God (1 Corinthians 6:9-11). The word for "homosexuals" comes from the Greek phrase which means "men having sexual relations." For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due (Romans 1:26,27). Note the words Paul uses in this passage: "vile," "against nature," "shameful," "error." These are not words of approval. In the context, Paul is discussing the unrighteousness of the Gentiles (Romans 1:18). But we know that the law is good if one uses it lawfully, knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, For fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine (1 Timothy 1:8-10). In verse 10, Paul mentions the "sodomite." This is the same Greek word that is used in 1 Corinthians 6:9 translated "homosexual."

All of these passages show us the way God views this practice. It is not approved, but condemned.

CAN THE HOMOSEXUAL BE SAVED?

God loves all people and wants all to be saved (John 3:16; 1 Timothy 2:4). The homosexual can be saved the same way any other sinner can be saved. They must repent and be baptized (Acts 17:30; Acts 22:16).

Then, the practice must be stopped! And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God (1 Corinthians 6:9-11).

CONCLUSION

There is great pressure placed upon the Christian to ignore sin in our society. It is not popular to take a stand against sin today. Neither was it easy for the Old Testament prophets to take a stand against sin. It was not easy for Christians in the first century to preach the gospel to the heathen world. It will not be easy today, but we must obey God (Acts 5:29).

It may not be easy for the person who practices homosexuality to give up this sinful practice. But, if we want to go to heaven, we have to live our lives according to His will (Matthew 7:21-23). The most important thing in the world is to go to heaven!

GOD'S PLACE FOR WOMEN
IN HIS CHURCH

From the Truth for the World webpage

Woman's place in society is something that is widely discussed in our time. The world has felt the force of the "Feminist" movement, or "Women's Liberation," as it is sometimes called. Most of us would agree that men and women should have the same rights under the law. Equal pay for equal work should be the expected and encouraged. However, what about woman's place in the church? In our lesson today, we'll examine what God has revealed concerning women in His church.

Our study today is entitled: "God's Place for Women in His Church." A tract by this same title has been distributed for some time now by Truth for the World. Rod Rutherford, who works with the literature phase of this mission effort, has written this excellent tract. We thought this subject worthy of our attention here on the program because of the developments in our society today concerning the woman's role as it affects the church of the Lord. Christians must realize that many of the ideas set forth in the feminist movement are contrary to God's will.

Some in the Lord's church today are questioning the place of the woman. They are saying she should be allowed to lead in public prayers, preach, and even serve as elders, or deacons in the church. The religious world as a whole has been influenced to think along these lines, in many instances. However, those who are concerned for truth cannot compromise it in any area. Does the Bible tell us that women should be allowed to do everything men do in the church? The answer to that question is clearly, "No." The Word of God is complete, furnishing us with all we need on every subject. The place of the woman in the church is no exception. God has revealed His will on this subject, as we shall see in this study.

First of all, we need to make clear that in some areas women and men are exactly the same in God's eyes. Certainly there is no distinction between men and women in salvation. God's love for all is seen in the giving of His Son, Jesus Christ for all people. Remember, in Acts 10:34,35, Peter at the house of Cornelius clearly stated this principle: Then Peter opened his mouth and said: "In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality. But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him." The "whoever" in this passage means just that. Every man or woman of accountable age who obeys God is loved and saved on the basis of obedient faith in response to God's grace. There is no difference in the blessings received through the gospel by men and women. Paul wrote in Galatians 3:26-28: "For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus."

Now that passage does not teach that in the church a woman can do everything a man does. Nor does it mean that God makes no distinction between the husband and wife in the family arrangement. God decrees that the husband is the head of the wife (Eph. 5:23). He is to provide for the physical and spiritual needs of his family, including those of his wife. The woman in the home is to be a helper to the husband, teacher of the children, a "keeper at home," as Titus 2, verses 4 and 5 point out. God recognizes certain physical and psychological differences between men and women. God created us all, and He knows us better than anyone. He has given the man and the woman roles best suited for them.

There are several passages in the New Testament which regulate woman's role in the church. In 1 Corinthians 11:3, Paul wrote, "But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God." This is an important verse because it reveals that we are all in submission to someone. Even Christ, according to this passage, submits to God, the Father. Is Christ inferior to God because He submits? Certainly not. Neither is the woman inferior to the man simply because she is to submit to him. The difference God makes between the two is in His purpose for each. In fact, God has placed woman on a pedestal, teaching the husband in His Word to love his wife as Christ loved the church (Ephesians 5). How much greater love could be given? If the husband takes seriously his God-given responsibilities to his wife, the wife has everything for which to be thankful, and nothing to regret.

A passage of great importance to the question of woman's role in the church is 1 Timothy 2. The context indicates Paul is writing about the public gatherings of the church as it assembles to worship. In verse one, Paul commands that prayers be made for all men. The word for "men" in this verse, in the original language of the New Testament, means "mankind." It is the general word for all human beings, both men and women. However, down in verse 8 of 1 Timothy 2, Paul is writing about the leading of public prayer in the assemblies of the church. Here he uses a different word for "men" which means only the males. It does not include females. This is a very important distinction. Had Paul meant for women to lead in public prayer, he certainly would not have used a word which can only mean the males. Therefore, the men only are to lead the public prayers of the church when men and women are present together.

Another clear contrast is seen between verse 8 of 1 Timothy 2, where men, that is, the males, are commanded to pray, and verse eleven, where women are commanded to learn in silence, or quietness, with all subjection. Then, in verse 12, Paul writes: And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence." A woman cannot "have authority over" a man in the church. Preaching and public teaching of classes where men are present are clearly forbidden by this passage. Leading public prayers where men are present is also prohibited by this passage. The woman is to learn in silence. In this case, the word translated "silence" in many versions, literally means "quietness". She is not required to be absolutely silent in the assemblies today. However, she cannot speak in any way which teaches, or usurps authority over the man.

Paul, here in 1 Timothy 2:13,14, gives the reasons why God has made men the leaders in the church. He writes: For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression." God created the woman for the man according to Genesis 2:18-25. In the deception of the Garden, it was Eve who succumbed to Satan. Adam sinned also by following Eve's lead, and thereafter God made it clear that man was to lead his wife and family. Again, we repeat that this arrangement in no way suggests the inferiority of the woman. It simply establishes God-given roles for her. And oh, how important those roles are, both in the home, and in the church. The importance and the influence of the mother in the home cannot be overstated. Women may also teach in accordance with God's will, as they instruct their children, and other women. Also, Priscilla, a fine Christian woman, privately assisted her husband Acquilla in teaching Apollos (Acts 18:24-26). And we must never overlook the power of example. Peter wrote: "Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives, when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear." These verses speak volumes about the influence of a godly woman in the home. The non-Christian husband who will not obey the Word of God by direct teaching, may ultimately be won to the Savior by the sweet, submissive example of his Christian wife who demonstrates daily her love for God and her appreciation of her important God-given role. How totally tragic it is that today so many women are turning away from the greatest life there is --the life of the Christian woman who sees the value of living as God would have her live.

 GOD HAS JOINED JESUS TO THE CHURCH

From the Truth for the World webpage:

The church is indestructible. We have already seen that in Matthew 16:18. Jesus said the gates of Hades would not prevail against the building of the kingdom, or the church. But, also there is a passage in Hebrews 12:28 where the writer declares, "Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear." Notice: "...receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved." The church is an indestructible kingdom. In Luke 8:11, in the parable of the sower, the seed is the Word of God. Wherever the seed is planted—that is, wherever the Word of God is planted in the hearts of men and those hearts are good hearts, good soil, the kingdom comes forth.

The kingdom is always in existence, at least in seed form. It is an indestructible institution, and one day it will be delivered back to the Father. First Corinthians 15:24 clearly shows it will be delivered back to the Father when the Lord comes again. If we are to receive the crown of life, it is through the church.

The church is indivisible—the Lord built one church. Some passages in the book of Ephesians show clearly the Lord built one church, not a multiplicity of religious bodies teaching differing doctrines. In Ephesians 1:22,23, we read, "And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him [that is, Christ] to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all." The church is called the body of Christ. He is the head over it. Christ is the spiritual head of His spiritual body, the church. Notice what Paul writes in Ephesians 4:4,5: "There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism."

Just as there is one God and one Lord, there is one body, the church. The church is indivisible. The Lord built but one. In I Corinthians 1:10-13, the apostle Paul wrote to the brethren at Corinth and begged them to all be of the same mind and the same judgment, to speak the same things, because there was some division there. The very fact that Paul warned against that and begged them to be united shows that it was the Lord's intention that we be one, and speak the same thing. Notice: "Be of the same mind and the same judgment," that is, the doctrine is to be the same. In John 17:20,21, in His prayer to the Father in His last hours upon the earth, Jesus prayed for His apostles. Then He turned His attention to all of those who would believe on Christ through the word of the apostles: "I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me."

How are God and Christ one? They are one in doctrine, certainly, as well as in nature and purpose and so on. Are we one in doctrine in the religious world today? Tragically, no. But does that please God? Certainly not, because we have seen that He built one church that was to be one in doctrine.

The church is distinct —that is, it has clear identifying marks. We invite you to study further and think very soberly and carefully about these things, because they are of an eternal consequence.

(1) It has Christ as it's head, as we have seen in Ephesians 1:22,23.

(2) It has Scriptural names or designations. We saw "the church of God" was mentioned in Acts 20:28 and in 1 Corinthians 1:1,2, not as a denomination, but as an identifying, possessive, designation showing God is the author of all things that bring about salvation, even in the church. But, of course, it is done through Christ whom He made head of the church. In Romans 16:16 we see, "The churches of Christ salute you." Thus, we know "church of Christ" is a Scriptural designation.

(3) The mission of the church is to preach. In 1 Timothy 3:15, Paul writes, "But if I am delayed, I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth." The church is to be the pillar and ground of the truth. We are to edify each other. The church is to edify itself (Ephesians 4:16). We are to carry on benevolent work (Galatians 6:10, James 1:27). As we have opportunity, we are to work that which is good toward all men.

(4) The organization of the church: Elders are to oversee individual congregations. There is no central government the Lord gave to His church, but a plurality of elders are to oversee the flock of God in each location, in each congregation. First Timothy 3 and Titus 1 give us the qualifications. Deacons are to serve as special servants under the elders. In 1 Timothy 3, we have the qualifications of these special servants who are to carry out various works of the church. And, of course, all of the members are to be subject to the elders of the church. As we have mentioned, each congregation is to be autonomous, separate or independent.

(5) The terms of admission are also very clearly set forth. We are to believe in Christ as the Son of God. In John 8:24, Jesus said, "…if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins." We are to repent (Luke 13:3,5). Jesus clearly makes repentance essential. We are to confess Christ. We are to be buried with Him in baptism (Mark 16:16 and other passages). Then we are added to the church, where we are to worship God in Spirit and in truth.

(6) The worship of the church: We are to worship God in Spirit and in Truth. The acts of worship are clearly set forth in the Scriptures. We are to partake of the Lord's supper every first day of the week (Acts 20:7). We are to sing and make melody with our hearts to the Lord (Colossians 3:16, Ephesians 5:19). Prayer is a part of our worship (Acts 2:42). As members of the church, we must give as we have been prospered (I Corinthians 16:1,2). Bible study, or the preaching of the Word, is an act of worship, authorized by Acts 20:7 in the New Testament.

If we are to enjoy the crown of life, if it is to be ours, it will be only as we come to Christ through the cross, being obedient to its terms, in order to reach the benefit of the blood. Then, we are added to the church where we must remain faithful to one day receive the crown of life.

Act 2: Scene 1

The UNSA Zeus meets with the Nrog ship commanded by Admiral Trill...unaware what the Admiral has inshore for the crew of the Zeus...

After the crew boards the ship they are escorted by the copy of the Nrog Ambassador, to the dining room which Trill waits his guess.

Admiral Trill: Please everyone have a seat. I am glad to have you here, please enjoy your meal I managed to procure some earth delicacies that you might enjoy after all your a long
way from your world, I'm sure you would enjoy a taste of home.

Narrator: After taking the drink the crew starts to doze off and falls asleep.

Admiral Trill: Bring in the metabots and transform them.

Guard: What about these humans?

Admiral Trill: Put them in the Brigg for safe keeping, we will bring them back to home world as guest of the Norg Empire.

Scene breaks to the Norg empiral cruiser in the Emperor suite where we see the Empress is in communication with a unseen
Receipt...

Empress Zagg: Yes my love, I think it's the only way...I have to sign off my husband is coming.

Enters the Emperor in the Emperor's Suite to join his wife.

Emperor Zagg: Hello my darling, we are under way to meet the humans, we will meet with them in a couple of days.

I just got off communicating with Trill, he said they met the humans and now escorting them to our position.

Empress Marta: Come my darling, you had a rough couple of days, that slug Lord Nagg got on your nerves what you need is a drink.

Emperor Zagg: Perhaps your right a little refreshment would be in order.

Empress Marta offers her husband a drink. After drinking, the emperor starts to choke.

Emperor Zagg looking surprised, gasping for air falls to the floor on his knees looks up to his wife asking. " Marta.. why?"

Empress Marta looking down on her dying husband smiles and says: " because my darling your weak."

The poison she gave to her husband acts fast, and leaves no traces after a few minutes of exposure.
The result is that it makes the victim appear to have a fatal heart failure.

The scene ends with Empress Marta walking to the computer and sends a message to her secret lover just two words.

Empress Marta: Computer send message to last receipt two words: It's done.

General Tagg: Very Well your majesty.

Empress Marta: Oh and General, please send word to Lord Nagg and dispatch him here at once.

High priest: What are you suggesting General?

General Tagg: Your Eminence, It's my duty to investigate anything that happens on my ship.

High priest: But the Empress didn't request an autopsy and if we do one without her request, we will be turned into mutants!

General Tagg: Yes I know and that's just it, and do you fine it odd she didn't even requested it?

Scene breaks to see the UNSA Zeus which is now heading back to the Norg fleet.
On the way word reaches Admiral Trill that the Emperor is dead, and he also gets a message from Lord Nagg, when he arrives that he is to wait for new orders.
 
 
Act 2 Scene 3

Capitan Howard: What!? You mean to tell me we been cloned? And now our clones are manning my ship?

Ambassador Xenn: Yes, I'm sorry Admiral Trill is acting under orders from Lord Nagg, Gods knows what he has planned.

Commander Jons:  Says to Ambassador Green: Lady you just lead us right into a trap!

Captain Howard: That's enough commander, we can't start pointing fingers we need to escape that's our first priority.

Ambassador Xenn: There is no escape

Capitan Howard: With all do respect Ambassador, there's not such thing as an impossible escape.

Ambassador Green: Why are you in here Ambassador?

Ambassador Xenn: Admiral Trill didn't like the fact I oppose Lord Nagg's plan of ceasing your ship and using it to start a war.

Scene breaks when we see the captured UNSA Zeus now manned by clones of the crew, and the Norg ship commanded by Admiral Trill arriving meeting up
to the rest of the Norg fleet. The real crew of the Zeus along with the Norg Ambassador is transferred to the empiral Cruiser's Brigg.
We see the cloned crew and Ambassador Green clone standing in the passage way of the between airlocks, receiving new orders from Admiral Trill....

Admiral Trill: You have new orders you are to take the earth ship and attack all Norg outpost.
And has for you I have a special mission....

Enters General Tagg...
General Tagg: What is the meaning of this Admiral, why is the earth crew and our ambassador Xenn in my Brigg?

Admiral Micheles: Come in Captain. I just gotten word that one of our destroyers the Zeus is attacking Norg military outposts.

Captain Braddick: That ship is commanded by Captain Howard, Admiral she is a up standing officer she wouldn't be attacking without orders from us.

Admiral Micheles: Exactly captain, and I need you to go and hunt down the Zeus and find out what is happening. We could be looking at a war we don't want if they aren't stopped.

Captain Braddick: Yes sir.

Admiral Micheles: Oh and Peter, I believe you know Ambassador Cynthia Green.

Captain Braddick: Sir?

Admiral Micheles: She is on board the Zeus, they were to meet with the emperor of the Norgs to negotiate a trade deal on energy technology, she was also on a mission of top level security I can't tell you anymore than that. I'm only telling you this because I know you are personally involved with her.

Captain Braddick: Sir?

Admiral Micheles:   Captain, not many things gets past me these days, it's a risk you took when becoming involved with a interstellar diplomat, she knew what she was getting into in accepting her mission, and you must clear your head and focus on finding the Zeus. 

Captain Braddick”: Yes sir.

 Admiral Micheles: I'm sure she's okay Pete, good luck.

Narrator: Scene breaks to see a shuttle pod from the UNSA Zeus flies away, while the mother ship sets off for it's next target.
Meanwhile on board the Norg Imperial Cruiser the Empress gets a visitor in the Emperor's Suite...

Empress Marta: Oh, am I glad to see you! The plan is under way my love.

Camera turns to see who she is talking to, it's Lord Nagg standing in the room.

Lord Nagg: Good, when we are home you will relinquish your rule to me.

Empress Marta: Yes dear, and the second phase of the plan is also underway.

Lord Nagg: (Kissing the Empress) Good soon we will get all we want.

Narrator: Scene breaks we see the High priest reporting his findings of the autopsy of the Emperor's body to General Tagg.

High Priest: General, I did the autopsy and found no traces of injury, or contaminants in his system.

General Tagg: I see, it doesn't make sense I knew him, he was in top physical condition and with no history of trouble of his hearts. Are you sure you explored all data?

High Priest: Matter of fact I did a little research on poisons, and there is a chemical known as Mask. It very effective and quick, once it kills you, traces of it quickly dissipates just as fast, leaving the hearts seeming like they just gave out.

General Tagg: Interesting, thank you, your Eminence.

Narrator: aboard the shuttle carrying Captain Peter Braddick to the UNSA Geronimo, Braddick remembers Cynthia and his last meeting.....

Peter Braddick: Cynthia, this is crazy! Going off meeting a alien race we know little about whose intentions are murky at best.

Cynthia Green: Pete, I met the Norgs and one of the only humans including the President met them, they want to trade with us energy technology, plus other technologies we can use in medical science, plus many other opportunities that can benefit us.

Peter Braddick: There's no way of me talking you out of this is there?

Cynthia Green: No there isn't, don't worry I'm sure it will be alright.

Narrator: Scene breaks back on board the Imperial Cruiser heading back with their prisoners to the Norg home world....where we see General Tagg and the High priest meeting privately.

General Tagg: Lord Nagg can't claim the throne until he is back on home world, after that he will have all the prisoners executed, we must get them off this ship before we reach back home.

High Priest Grill: You think the Empress will give up rule to him?

General Tagg: You think it's just a consequence that Nagg comes all the way here and then meets with the Empress in private?

General Tagg: I'll set off the fusion leak reactor alarm they will have no choice but to abandon ship for a brief period, and use escape pods, after the danger passes it will take sometime for the pods to come back, I'll see to it that one of the pods turns up missing.

High Priest Grill: I hope you know what your doing General.

Act 2 Scene 5:

Narrator: The Scene opens to fine the High Priest Grill confronted by two robot guard requesting him to accompany them to join Lord Nagg, Admiral Trill, and the Empress in the mutation chamber aboard the Imperial Cruiser heading back to the Nrog home world...

Robot1: Come with us your Eminence the Empress and Lord Nagg would like to ask you some questions.

Hight Priest Grill: Whats the meaning of this?

Robot 1: They are waiting for you in the mutation chamber, and request your presence.

High Priest Grill: I won't go anywhere!

Robot 1: You will come freely or we will carry you there. Take him!

Narrator: The two robots grabs the high priest and brings him to the mutation chamber where Admiral Trill, Lord Nagg, and the Empress is waiting.

Lord Nagg: Ah, there you are your Eminence come in please.

High Priest Grill: What's the meaning of this Lord Nagg I was dragged down here....

Empress Marta: We understand you did an unauthorized autopsy on the Emperor, don't try and deny it your Eminence one of your assistants told us about it. We want to know who told you preform the autopsy?

High Priest Grill: I answer to a higher power, not any of you.

Admiral Trill: Oh but you will answer our questions, put him in the chair!

Empress Marta: One last chance, your Eminence who gave the order to do the autopsy?

High Priest: May the gods have mercy on you. I have nothing more to say.

Lord Nagg: Okay, if thats how you feel...Proceed Admiral Trill. (flips the switch of the mutation chair)

High Priest Grill: AHHHHHH!

Narrator: Scene breaks we see Captain Peter Braddick on board the UNSA Geronimo's cargo hold, where he is confronted by his second in command John Rivers shows him prototype armor and weapons just brought on board...

Captain Braddick: Hi John, what gifts we got from command today?

Commander Rivers: Hey Pete, we got these suits of armor to use for hand to hand combat if we ever need them, the big boys sent these while you were on Earth. And we got these gun robots equipped with laser cannons, and guns, they can pound through a bulk head or steel wall like paper.

Captain Braddick: Good, how many of these toys they sent?

Commander Rivers: Enough for the crew to use either wearing the armor or use the robot.

Captain Braddick: How soon we can get going.

Commander Rivers: The fusion reactor is charged and ready to depart on your orders.

Captain Braddick: Great, set course for the last known location of the Zeus.

 Commander Rivers: The Zeus?

Captain Braddick: Yes, she was on a routine diplomatic mission, apparently diplomacy failed. The Zeus has been attacking Norg outpost, and we need to investigate.

Commander River: Attacking? She' s a light armed scout ship, not meant for heavy combat, doesn't make sense.

Captain Braddick: Yeah I know, the Norgs are almost making it easy for them, this smells of a setup.

Commander Rivers: Setup? You think were heading for war?

Captain Braddick: Yeah looks like that John, set course.

Narrator: The Scene breaks back on board the Norg Imperial Cruiser where the now transformed High Priest into a mutant starts spilling the beans telling them about General Tagg's order to do the autopsy and his plans for freeing the prisoners...Just has he was done telling them the plan a fusion link warning alarms sounds, people start heading for the escape pods, and the guards escorting the prisoners to one of the escape pods are confronted by General Tagg and a few trusted crew members....

Shots rings out  killing the two serpent guards escorting the prisioners.

General Tagg: Come it won't take them long to realize its a false alarm we need to get to escape pods.
Take the guard weapons you might need them.

Narrator: The group reaches the launch bay of one of the escape pods, when suddenly they are confronted by Admiral Tagg.....Gives the order to one of  those accompanying him to kill the alarm.

Admiral Trill: Nice try General. Whats that human phrase? “Nice try but no cigar”.

General Tagg: I'm taking these prisoners Trill, don't get in my way.

Admiral Trill: I see a traitor standing in front of me, and a bunch of spies. Just in time for a firing squad.

Narrator: Fire fight erupts which only three survives and manages to escape on the pod and folds into space.

Admiral Trill: Track them!

Crewman: To late sir, their gone!

Narrator: On the bridge of the Imperial Cruiser Admiral Trill reports to Lord Nagg...

Admiral Trill: Three escape my lord, General Tagg, the earth ship's captain, and the earth ambassador.

Lord Nagg: Fine them Admiral! They are the only ones that can expose us!
Admiral Trill: At once my lord, I have someone who might be useful in tracking them down, let me handle it.

Lord Nagg: Good you do that while I go on with the rest of the fleet back home.

Narrator: Scene breaks on board the Norg ship commanded Admiral Trill, where he speaks to his newest prisoner an alien race known as the Knars,  a wolf like creature which the Norgs never defeated, and pose a threat to their empire. They are warriors, and good trackers, who are only interested in protecting what's theirs.

Admiral Trill: I see you are resting comfortably (smiles)

Trog: What you want lizard? I'm gonna make a roast out of you at the first opportunity!

Admiral Trill: No you won't do that, not at first before you hear my deal for releasing you and your ship.

Trog: Oh why should I hear anything you have to say?

Admiral Trill: Because I have your mate, and if you don't do what I say, I'll kill her, and if anything happens to me she will die.

Trog: Why you!

Admiral Trill: You have one chance to have her back, by tracking down a escape pod which some prisoners used to escape, and a traitor to our people was among them. Once they are apprehended you both will go free.

Trog: You betray this agreement lizard you will become that roast I swear it!

Admiral Trill: Your ship is ready for departure with all the information you need about the pod and people were looking for.

 Narrator: (After Trog's Ship leaves heading to fine the pod, Admiral Trill tells the guard, “She served her purpose, execute her”)

Narrator: The scene ends in the office of the Earth planet Alliance.

Secretary: He will see you now

Visitor: Mr. President
