The Narrow Path Ministries

Granted, this is rather cryptic language describing the source of the torment created by the so-called "locusts" in Rev. 9. But I believe there is an actual historical fulfillment for these strange features of the "locusts" who plagued all of those who had no seal of God in their foreheads. I have p...

An old post, but I don't see that any of the responses have ever yet included GOD'S definition of how an "AT HAND" prophecy was to be interpreted. That definition provided by God for what "AT HAND" means prophetically is found all the way back in Ezekiel 12:21-28. A somewhat lengthy passage, but all...

Who hasn't heard of the formidable army of 200 MILLION that is supposed to be gathered together in Revelation 9:16? The assumption is taught that this incredible number must either be that of demonic forces, or possibly composed of Asian countries that could manage putting an army this large into ba...

Hi Steve, Just want you to know that at the beginning of this year I did go through your lecture series that covered the I Cor. 14:34-35 passage in question. For a review, I pulled it up again and listened to your interpretation of it once more. Unfortunately, it looks as if you didn't have time eno...

Hi Steve, Appreciate your taking the time to respond. Please refer to the very last part of my first paragraph which you quoted. The proof that this is a quote from the Corinthians' letter to Paul in verse 34-35 is that Paul refers back to these two verses in verse 39, telling the Corinthians to "FO...

Hi Homer, Oddly enough, I can agree with the way you worded your last statement. It's very true. Referring to I Timothy 5:1-2, as you say, "The above verses have nothing to do with the OFFICE of elder." I'm putting emphasis on the word "office", since these verses actually are about eldership. That'...

Hi Paidion, That's NOT Paul's injunction in I Cor. 14:34-35. Paul is QUOTING from the Corinthian church's earlier letter to him. He responds to that I Cor. 14: 34-35 quote by scolding the Corinthian believers in verse 36-39 for their mistaken ideas on this matter. Paul finishes his correction of the...

Hi Paidion, No argument whatsoever with the scriptural requirement for an elder ("presbuter O " individual who was a male-gendered overseer or deacon) being the husband of one wife. Polygamy for male elders was strictly forbidden in the ministry of the early church. But apparently this was not even ...

No relevance in this subject for us today? I beg leave to differ. If it can be proved that women were among the number of apostles of the early church, (and it definitely can be), and if this role of an apostle was ranked first in importance in I Cor. 12:28 - even before the role of prophets (2nd), ...

Nope, not even touching Romans 16:7. To my mind, the debate about Junia is not even needed in that 3-step process I mentioned that proves women were serving as apostles in the days of the early church. As for the chosen 12 disciples, we all know that they were a special subset of the apostles, selec...
