interview.\u00a0 Did you enjoy taking the pulpit for John MacArthur?<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Paul:<\/span> <\/strong>I loved it!\u00a0 Well, actually I didn&#8217;t take the pulpit.\u00a0 I just spoke to the congregation from the floor because I wanted to encourage everyone to speak and use their gifts.\u00a0 That was the way it was meant to be.\u00a0 After all we are all brothers in Christ and we can learn from each other.\u00a0 Unfortunately I don&#8217;t think they will be having me back anytime soon.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Doug:<\/span><\/strong> Your kidding!\u00a0 What happened?<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Paul:<\/span> <\/strong>Things were going really well when I spoke about our inheritance in Christ and I shared my writings from the book of Ephesians with them.\u00a0 They loved it&#8230;that is until I gave them a bit more information than they wanted to hear.\u00a0 I asked if anyone had any questions they would like me to answer.\u00a0 One feisty young man asked me who actually wrote the book of Hebrews and so I told them.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Doug:<\/span><\/strong> Yes??<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Paul:<\/span> <\/strong>Then they ushered me out of the building.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Doug:<\/span><\/strong> No way!\u00a0 So who authored the book of Hebrews?<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Paul:<\/span> <\/strong>I am keeping tight lipped on that one.\u00a0 People in the 21st century just can&#8217;t take it.\u00a0 Let&#8217;s just set that one aside and talk about the next scripture you wanted to ask me about.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Doug:<\/span><\/strong> I want to wait for the next scripture because I have been thinking about what you said about 1 Timothy 2:12 and I still have more questions.\u00a0 Can we continue with this passage?<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Paul:<\/span> <\/strong> Sure go ahead.\u00a0 What problems do you have with this passage?<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Doug:<\/span><\/strong> I didn&#8217;t think I had any problems with this passage until you showed up.\u00a0 You said that there would have to be a second witness if this passage was stopping all godly women from teaching the bible to men.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Paul:<\/span> <\/strong> Yes that is right.\u00a0 And don&#8217;t forget that I always made a habit of repeating all the important things.\u00a0 Repetition is for your safety.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Doug:<\/span><\/strong> Isn&#8217;t it just a rule for a court proceeding that requires two witnesses before a person can be found guilty?\u00a0 How can you now apply the rule of two or three witnesses to the law itself?<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Paul:<\/span> <\/strong> No problem, brother Doug, it is much more than that.\u00a0 Let me ask you a question from a passage and I think you will see it for yourself.\u00a0 Look at John 5:31<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>John 5:31\u00a0 &#8220;If I alone testify about Myself, My testimony is not true.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Why was Jesus&#8217; testimony not considered true if there was only one witness?\u00a0 Was Jesus in a court of law testifying against people?<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Doug:<\/span><\/strong> No, he wasn&#8217;t in a court.\u00a0 He was giving testimony that he was the Son of God and that he had life in Himself.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Paul:<\/span> <\/strong> That&#8217;s right.\u00a0 Jesus showed that the law of two or three witnesses went beyond just charging people with sin.\u00a0 He applied it to his testimony to make it a documented and established fact.\u00a0 When Jesus said that he is the Light of the world, the Pharisees accused him with being only one witness and thus they said his testimony was not true.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>John 8:12\u00a0 Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, &#8220;I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.&#8221;<br \/>\nJohn 8:13\u00a0 So the Pharisees said to Him, &#8220;<strong>You are testifying about Yourself; Your testimony is not true<\/strong>.&#8221;<br \/>\nJohn 8:14\u00a0 Jesus answered and said to them, &#8220;Even if I testify about Myself, My testimony is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from or where I am going.<br \/>\nJohn 8:15\u00a0 &#8220;You judge according to the flesh; I am not judging anyone.<br \/>\nJohn 8:16\u00a0 &#8220;But even if I do judge, My judgment is true; <strong>for I am not alone in it<\/strong>, but I and the Father who sent Me.<br \/>\nJohn 8:17\u00a0 &#8220;Even in your law it has been written that the testimony of two men is true.<br \/>\nJohn 8:18\u00a0 &#8220;I am He who testifies about Myself, and the Father who sent Me testifies about Me.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Paul:<\/span> <\/strong> Can you see that Jesus&#8217; witness that he is the Light of the world needed to be documented by another witness?<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Doug:<\/span><\/strong> Why should the Son of God need another witness?\u00a0 Isn&#8217;t His own witness good enough?\u00a0 After all He is the God who made this world.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Paul:<\/span> <\/strong> God has set a principle for our safety.\u00a0 Take a look at Deuteronomy 19:15.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Deut 19:15\u00a0 &#8220;A single witness shall not rise up against a man on account of any iniquity or any sin which he has committed; on the evidence of two or three witnesses a <strong>matter<\/strong> shall be confirmed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Paul:<\/span> <\/strong> God has established the need for a matter to be confirmed.\u00a0 When you look up the meaning for the Hebrew word translated &#8220;matter&#8221; you will see that it means word, speech, matter and it is used for a <strong>command<\/strong> or royal <strong>decree<\/strong>, a legal cause and most important of all was the use of this word to convey <strong>divine communication<\/strong>.\u00a0 The Ten Commandments were literally called the ten words of the Lord.\u00a0 So literally Deuteronomy 19:15 says that &#8220;on the evidence of two or three witnesses a word or commandment shall be confirmed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Doug:<\/span><\/strong> Okay.\u00a0 So are you saying that these important divine communications all had a second or third witness to confirm them?<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Paul:<\/span> <\/strong> Yes!\u00a0 Take for example the ten words of the LORD God &#8211; the ten commandments.\u00a0 This &#8220;matter&#8221; was spoken from the mouth of God and then God wrote them on stone tablets.\u00a0 After that Moses broke the tablets when he came down from the mountain but God wrote them once again on stone.\u00a0 Then after that they were communicated again throughout the scriptures.\u00a0 God made sure that these commandments, His ten &#8220;words&#8221; were repeated for our benefit.\u00a0 Brother Doug, can you think of even one law of the LORD that is not repeated in the scriptures?<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Doug:<\/span><\/strong> Hmmm&#8230;I can&#8217;t think of any.\u00a0 It seems to me that all laws were repeated.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Paul:<\/span> <\/strong> Good then you get it!<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Doug:<\/span><\/strong> Wait&#8230;wait!\u00a0 But doesn&#8217;t 1 Timothy 2:12 give the reason as the creation?\u00a0 Doesn&#8217;t this mean that the OT has a law that forbids women to teach men?\u00a0 Wouldn&#8217;t that mean that there <em><strong>is<\/strong><\/em> a second witness?<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Paul:<\/span> <\/strong> No.\u00a0 1 Timothy 2:13, 14 gives a reason for the prohibition that I gave for the situation at Ephesus and it is all about deception.\u00a0 The fact is that the first one created was not deceived.\u00a0 The second one created was deceived.\u00a0 The reason for my stopping the teaching is all about deception.\u00a0 It isn&#8217;t about leadership or any &#8220;law&#8221; from the Old Testament.\u00a0 Did you find a &#8220;law&#8221; that forbid women to teach men in the OT?<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Doug:<\/span><\/strong> No, I didn&#8217;t but some have speculated that you may have been referencing the words of God at the fall.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Paul:<\/span> <\/strong> God didn&#8217;t tell Eve that she wasn&#8217;t allowed to teach Adam.\u00a0 God didn&#8217;t tell Adam that he wasn&#8217;t allowed to be taught by Eve.\u00a0 There is no such &#8220;law&#8221; in the creation or the fall.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Doug:<\/span><\/strong> Then why did you bring it up?<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Paul:<\/span> <\/strong> Because the very first woman naively fell into deception just like the situation we were dealing with at Ephesus.\u00a0 The very first woman was also promised salvation through the coming Messiah so that God sovereignly worked all things for good.\u00a0 Eve was deceived but she was not out for the count because her seed would eventually destroy the destroyer.\u00a0 I gave a word of hope to Timothy in verse 15 that there would be salvation in the end for the situation in Ephesus.\u00a0 She will be saved through the same Messiah that came through the very first deceived woman.\u00a0 Just as the first deceived woman received hope, so Timothy could see hope for another bad situation.\u00a0 Timothy was to make sure that she received proper instruction and in the end God will bring good out of bad just like He did for the original deceived woman.\u00a0 Brother Doug, there is no law that forbids women from teaching the bible to men.\u00a0 If there was such a law, don&#8217;t you think that God would have forbidden women from teaching everyone instead of just men?\u00a0 After all do we normally send out the deceived to teach children?<\/p>\n<p>Also think about Priscilla.\u00a0 If there was a law that forbid women from teaching men, do you think that Priscilla would have disobeyed God&#8217;s law?\u00a0 And if she disobeyed God&#8217;s law, don&#8217;t you think that the scripture would have mentioned that she did something wrong?\u00a0 How could Priscilla be commended for her work if she found it necessary to disobey God&#8217;s law?\u00a0 Think about it.\u00a0 Work hard to test all things.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Doug:<\/span><\/strong> I can see that there are some things that I hadn&#8217;t considered before.\u00a0 But I still don&#8217;t feel that it is right.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Paul:<\/span> <\/strong> I will let you sleep on it.\u00a0 Think these things through and if God wills I will be back to answer more of your questions.\u00a0 In the meantime I am off to investigate a vision box.\u00a0 I have heard that there are many preachers on this vision box and I want to test their teaching.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Doug:<\/span><\/strong> You mean you are going to watch TV preachers?\u00a0 Oh boy, are you in for a surprise!<\/p>\n<p>(Round 3 of Interview with Paul is <a title=\"Round 3 Interview with Paul by Cheryl Schatz\"
