I just listened to today podcast. At the end - Jim, you said someone called you to ask about the song at the start of your podcast.

*** Corrections - Puritans and Pilgrims: Pilgrims were a small group of Separatist Puritans who broke entirely from the Church of England and founded Plymouth Colony in 1620, while Puritans were a much larger group of Protestants who sought to reform the Church of England from within but did not separate, establishing the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630. Both groups, influenced by Calvinism, were motivated by a desire for religious freedom and to escape persecution in England.

*** If the catholics were correct, tradition stating that pentecost launched the birth of the Roman catholic church, wouldn’t there be extensive mention of the wonderful contribution this church made to Paul’s ministry, in Paul’s letter to the believers in that church in Rome? They would have addressed Peter as the leader of the church but they didn’t. He wasn’t mentioned AT ALL. In fact Peter didn’t have anything to do with gentiles until Acts 10 (Cornelius) and then apparently reluctantly afterwards.
Peter and Paul had a significant falling out in Antioch after Peter, out of fear of Judaizers (Jewish teachers who insisted Gentiles become Jewish to be saved), separated from the Gentile believers, leading Paul to rebuke him publicly for hypocrisy.
The incident at Antioch: Peter's actions: When Jewish visitors from Jerusalem arrived, Peter withdrew from eating with the Gentile Christians, even though he had previously supported their integration. Paul's reaction: Paul saw Peter's actions as a challenge to the gospel, which teaches that faith in Christ, not ethnicity, is what matters. Paul publicly confronted Peter in Antioch, calling him a hypocrite for contradicting the gospel. The cause: Peter's fear of the Judaizers, who insisted that Gentiles must follow Jewish customs and be circumcised, seems to have driven his actions.

When should women speak ... at all? (We contend that this believing black woman bested EMJ so his only recourse was to attempt to discredit here, using the Bible) : 1 Cor 14:34, 35 - 34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law. 35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
Women were instructed to be silent in certain church contexts because of interpretations of Biblical passages like 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 and 1 Timothy 2:11-12, which are understood by some to forbid women from speaking, teaching, or assuming authority over men in church. Reasons cited for these restrictions include concerns about disrupting worship, reflecting a societal structure where men were educated and women weren't, and the complementarian belief that men hold spiritual authority. However, other interpretations suggest these commands were context-specific and referred to women asking disruptive questions or that the restriction was not a permanent, universal prohibition.
*** Women like Phoebe, Priscilla, Junia, and several others such as Mary, Tryphaena, Tryphosa, Persis, and Rufus's mother are mentioned in Paul's ministry, not as passive recipients but as active co-workers, teachers, deacons, and leaders, working hard in the Lord and even hosting house churches. These examples, found in Romans 16 and other Pauline letters, highlight women's significant and foundational roles in the early church.
*** Here's a list of prominent women mentioned in Paul's ministry:
Phoebe: (Romans 16:1-2)
Commended as a deacon (or minister).

*** Yes, gender can be estimated from skeletal remains by forensic anthropologists, but it's crucial to understand that skeletal sex is a biological determination and differs from gender, which is a social construct. Forensic sex estimation looks for biological differences that develop after puberty and are typically reflected in the skull and pelvis. The pelvis is the most reliable bone for sex determination because its shape is adapted for childbirth, but in its absence, traits of the skull and long bones can also be used.
