#Do we believe that when reading the prophets, perhaps the Prophet Isaiah, that there is a difference when he just writes his words whatever, than when he prefaces His words by "Thus saith the Lord"? Did we belieeve that Isaiah makes such a distinction in his own mind - that some words from him and some from the Lord?

#Do we believe, with the Apostle Paul, that a woman is commanded to keep silent in the church, that it is shameful for her not to do so, and it is not permitted her to speak? If we think otherwise than the Apostle and do permit it, what is the reason for our belief and practice?

#In reading the Old Testament, without intending to "pick and choose", do we, nevertheless, tend to not apply things that are commanded to be done to our lives, for instance, putting to death our children if rebellious, and stoning the adulterous, and do tend to apply other things, such as, "to loose the bonds of wickedness", "to undo the heavy burdons", "to let the oppressed go free", "to deal...bread to the hungry"? Do we feel that the Old Testament Scriptures generally and in particular places has less authority in our lives than the New Testament? In what places and for what reasons do we feel this?
