Discuss Romans 16 Page 4

  • S Spencer - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Hi Wanita.

    The epistle was written during Paul's third missionary journey, at Corinth where he spent three months. He had just come from Ephesus where he had spent three strenuous years.

    Dr. Griffith Thomas makes an interesting observation: "Certain names point clearly to Corinth as the place whence this Epistle was written." The picture of the gross immorality of the Gentiles in Rome is a picture drawn from the Corinth of Paul's day.

    OCCASION: This letter was brought forth by natural reason. Paul wished to visit Rome on his way to Spain. The letter was taken by Phoebe, deaconess of Cenchrea ( Romans 16:1).

    FOUNDER OF THE CHURCH AT ROME: Paul had not visited Rome when he wrote this epistle. In this respect it is different from all others, with the possible exception of the Epistle to the Colossians. No apostle had preceded Paul to Rome; obviously, Simon Peter had not. The Roman church was largely a gentile church, and Peter was not the apostle to the Gentiles ( Galatians 2:7). Paul's method was not to follow another apostle, and it is not likely he would have gone to Rome had another apostle preceded him.

    Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation. ( Romans 15:20)

    In a very definite sense, Paul was the founder of the church at Rome. This great metropolis drew men to its streets and marketplaces from all over the empire as if it were a magnet. Many whom Paul had led to Christ in other places made their way to Rome and witnessed there. The church in Rome was the assembly of these folk. This is not mere speculation, as Priscilla and Aquila are examples.

    Greet Priscilla and Aquila, my helpers in Christ Jesus. ( Romans 16:3)

    Paul had first met them in Corinth and led them to Christ ( Acts 18:1-3). Later they returned to Rome.

    Paul mentions 35 individuals by name in chapter 16. Of these, 27 were living in Rome at this time. These he must have met elsewhere in the.

    God bless.

    Wesley's Notes for Romans 16:1

    16:1 I commend unto you Phebe - The bearer of this letter. A servant - The Greek word is a deaconness. Of the church in Cenchrea - In the apostolic age, some grave and pious women were appointed deaconnesses in every church. It was their office, not to teach publicly, but to visit the sick, the women in particular, and to minister to them both in their temporal and spiritual necessities.

    This is a theological idea of deaconess as it is said that Phebe was a deaconess that is not translated from the Greek word because it is a lie. The epistle, which Apostle Paul wrote about Phebe who was not a deaconess that does not come from the Greek word. This is the men's theological concepts that are not what Apostle Paul was addressing to the churches because the theological men didn't exist in Apostle Paul's ancient life which means since 2000 years after the resurrection of Jesus Christ. We are Americans who don't have to learn the Greek language because we are not born in Greece except those are willing to learn the Greek. Just like Apostle Paul addressed the epistle to the churches according to the scriptures of

    1 Corinthians 14:10-11 KJV

    [10] There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification. [11] Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me.

    The Holy Bible Edition 1611 is not the Book of theology, but the it is the Word of God according to the scriptures of Hebrews 4:12 KJV [12] For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

    The theological men and women, who don't have the baptism of the Holy Ghost, are not of 1 Corinthians 11:1 KJV

    [1] Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
  • Firmvictara69 - 4 years ago
    You replied to me recently that I do think that women completed the works of devices mentioned in your posts over the centuries and still do in many churches. Perhaps the early church did not call them deaconesses formally, but the name was eventually given to women who do this type of service. In NT times and in many cultures it is inappropriate for a man to minister in such ways to women. It is doubtful a man would be a mid-wife or doula in NT times, but a women in a church fellowship would do such service. And it was unlikely in NT or in some cultures that a man would tend to a sick women or child, nor dress their wounds, bath them, nor cool and clean for a women taken to bed. So, women in the church took on these roles, and ministered to women and children as helpers and teachers.

    You don't get me wrong about the services or works of women's ministry because you can say whatever you want to believe and proclaim women's cultures in their churches anywhere, but there is the only ONE ministry even as the apostles' doctrine of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the scriptures of Acts 2:42 KJV [42] And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

    1 Corinthians 1:10 KJV

    [10] Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

    Romans 16:17-18 KJVS

    [17] Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. [18] For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

    Ephesians 4:5 KJV

    [5] One Lord, one faith, one baptism, I can see that you couldn't quote the scriptures as it is written because it is your own theological beliefs instead Period

    Wesley's Notes for Romans 16:1

    16:1 I commend unto you Phebe - The bearer of this letter. A servant - The Greek word is a deaconness. Of the church in Cenchrea - In the apostolic age, some grave and pious women were appointed deaconnesses in every church. It was their office, not to teach publicly, but to visit the sick, the women in particular, and to minister to them both in their temporal and spiritual necessities. THIS IS THE WRONG STATEMENT.

    There is no such thing about deaconness found and literally written in the King James Version Holy Bible Edition 1611 except only the Biblical word "deacon(s)" according to the scriptures of 1 Timothy 3:8-13 KJVS

    [8] Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; [9] Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. [10] And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless. [11] Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things. [12] Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. [13] For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

    The man is the head of the woman according to the scriptures of 1 Corinthians 11:3 KJVS

    [3] But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

    Genesis 3:16 KJVS

    [16] Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

    Ephesians 5:23-24 KJVS

    [23] For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. [24] Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

    Charla,

    Genesis 3:15 is the oldest prophecy in scripture, that Satan would be crushed under His (Christ's) feet. This is going to happen at the second coming of Christ. Also, if you look at Romans 16:20, it says "And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly." Again, this will be the fulfilment of Genesis 3:15. It will be Satan's final ultimate defeat when Christ comes at His second coming and Satan is cast away forever.

  • GRACE_ambassador {ChrisE} GRACE Through faith - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Precious friend asked:

    Can someone get salvation of our Lord Jesus Christ in any of the four ways:

    1. Praying prayer of salvation? Yes, Biblical Luke 18:13-14, if one "believes The Gospel Of GRACE (CHRIST Died for sin, was buried, And Rose Again, According To The Scriptures)" 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, By God's GRACE Through faith Ephesians 2:8-9, (belief) "with the heart" Romans 10:9

    IF "NO belief," then, No, praying a prayer is useless.

    2. Taking Holy Communion? No, 'tradition' for salvation is UNbelief. The LORD's Supper is simply a "Commemoration" for believers Only, to 'figuratively' "show The LORD's Death Til HE Comes!" 1 Corinthians 11:26

    3. Receiving the word of God when preached? No, receiving The Word, but NOT believing It, is not salvation, But, receiving God's Word Of Truth With Glad BELIEF would be Eternal Life!

    4. Getting Healed? No. Not salvation, see above.

  • Chris - In Reply on Romans 16 - 4 years ago
    I fully agree GiGi. Sisters in the NT Church then, as they do now, play an extremely vital role in Church life - they certainly filled the 'deaconess' role, without officially being named as such. But then, what's in a name?
  • GiGi - In Reply on Romans 16 - 4 years ago
    I believe that women were deaconesses, but I do not know the verses that speak to this. These women helped to take care of widows, orphans, teach younger women, and other works of service in the church. I believe they were appointed and so served in an official position, but not one over men.
  • Elroy Ellis - In Reply on Romans 16 - 4 years ago
    Thank you Chris. Thanks for indirectly reminding me that the same Greek word can be translated as servant and deacon. My concern was formation of theology on the basis of the word deacon . I believe that many people are aware that thousands of churches have women pastors. It is not my intention to be insensitive . However I believe that as Christians we should be able to say politely that a practice is inconsistent with scriptures.
  • Chris - In Reply on Romans 16 - 4 years ago
    Hi Elroy. I don't believe the intent of this Scripture, or any other portion, ever indicates that women are to hold official pastor/elder/deacon positions. In the case of Phoebe, she was recognized as one who served, or helped, in the Church at Cenchrea. It may have been more than a general form of assistance & more of an official one, nevertheless, she was especially useful & commended for her service. I doubt whether she, or any other sister, were appointed as elders/pastors in the leadership/teaching ministry of the Church.

    So even if other Bible versions might use 'deacon', it would be appropriate, as this is the meaning of that word, but it doesn't imply an official position in the Bible - some Churches now would however make it an official position. The point is, whether recognized as one or not, sisters in the Church have an important role in the life & development of Christ's Body, as we all must, using our gifts for the Lord & His people.

    2 Corinthians 12:9 God's Power Of ALL-Sufficient GRACE in our weaknesses and infirmities:

    "PEACE With God," and knowing what good "tribulation worketh in us" Romans 5:1-5

    "For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us." Romans 8:18

    The Spirit "helps our infirmities, And Prays For us" Romans 8:26

    The Spirit "Intercedes For us, According To The Will Of God" Romans 8:27

    God Makes "all things Work Together For Good," for HIS Own Romans 8:28

    We are "Predestinated To Be Conformed To The Image Of God's SON" Romans 8:29

    God Helps us "bear our testings" 1 Corinthians 10:13

    We have The Wonderful "Comfort Of God!" 2 Corinthians 1:3-4

Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that The Power of CHRIST may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for CHRIST's Sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong." 2 Corinthians 12:9-10

    Precious brother Jesse, thanks so much for the Encouragement! You are the Very First to 'acknowledge' this point. Looking forward to meeting you in God's Great GLORYLAND (musical notes + happy face :) + UP Arrow )

    Please Be Richly Encouraged, Enlightened, Exhorted, and Edified!
