Women's Weekly Bible Challenge

Hello and welcome to the Women’s Weekly Bible Challenge!   I’m Lisa Ann Spencer.  Thank you for stopping by.  This is part 5 and the conclusion of the series titled, THY KINSWOMAN .  If you are a first time visitor, click here to access part 1 . A quick Review of what we have covered thus far: We have seen in this study that there are only two ways in Scripture beginning in the book of Genesis all the way through Revelation : God’s way Satan’s way These two ways are portrayed in the book of Proverbs as two women: WISDOM and UNDERSTANDING called ‘thy sister, thy kinswoman’ THE STRANGE WOMAN, or the harlot We learned last week that we can know these women by their WORDS. We proved from scripture that the GODHEAD – Father, Son and Holy Ghost -  is male.  If anyone says that God, or the Godhead, is female or gender neutral, that would be a lie. Now we get to The BIG QUESTION :  Why would WISDOM be represented as a female? How is i...

Hello and welcome to the Women’s Weekly Bible Challenge! I’m Lisa Ann Spencer. Thank you for joining me today as we continue with part 4 of THY KINSWOMAN . Let’s talk about GENDER in the Bible. Q:   What determines that the God of the Bible is MALE ? A:   The word of God. The title, ‘God’ is defined by the apostle Paul, as ‘the Godhead’ .   (See  Acts 17:29; Romans 1:20 and Colossians 2:9.) God, the Father; God, the Son; God, the Holy Ghost. There is one thing that I hope you will learn from my Bible studies:  All truth is founded upon God’s word! God asks us to believe his word, to trust in his word, and to rest our faith in his word.  It is such a simple thing, but our flesh is contrary to God. ( Galatians 5:17 ) God’s word says what it means, and it means what it says.  God promised to preserve His  words, and He has.  I hope you will choose to believe every word of God, right down to the pronoun, “he”. The God...

Hello and welcome to the Women’s Weekly Bible Challenge! I’m Lisa Ann Spencer.   Thanks for stopping by.   This week we are beginning part 3 of our study on Thy Kinswoman . Review:   Last week we concluded that “my sister, my spouse” in the Song of Solomon is the same person as Wisdom, Thy Kinswoman .   She offers Israel protection from the deception and seduction of The Strange Woman and her false doctrine.   We uncovered a secret about an harlot; she is not scantily dressed, but covered to conceal her true identity. Today we will dive in to 16  particular verses from 3 passages in the book of Proverbs , where Wisdom is speaking. 📔You might like to write these down in your journal. Chapter 1:21-33 Chapter 8:4-36 Chapter 9:4-12 I encourage you once again to read these passages.   Better yet, read Proverbs chapter 1-9 in one sitting so you can see the contrast between Wisdom and the Strange Woman . By comparing scripture with scrip...

Hello and welcome back to the Women’s Weekly Bible Challenge ! I’m Lisa Ann Spencer.   In today’s lesson we will continue with our study of Thy Kinswoman which we began last week. Review:   Last week  we did a word study on AUNT, which we found in Leviticus chapter 18.   We established the context of the book of Leviticus first, and we discovered that it is a book of priestly laws spoken by God and given to the children of Israel through Moses.   We know today that we are not under the law (Romans 6:14). Q: If we are not under the law today, why do we need to read or study the law if it’s not written to us?   A: The answer to that comes from Jesus in John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. All the scriptures will point us to Jesus. The scriptures that Jesus was referring to is Genesis to Malachi , which was available at the time of His earthly ministry. ...

  Hello and welcome to the Women’s Weekly Bible Challenge! This is a Bible study Blog that focuses on Women in the Bible .   On of my goals in these studies is to help you understand how to study the Bible for yourself.  I issue a CHALLENGE at the end of each series, which I hope will help you learn how to do word studies, using your concordance. How do we accomplish WORD STUDIES ?   As the name suggests, we begin by choosing a word, or a topic.   Then we use a concordance to find where, when and how that word is used in Scripture.   It may also require finding a related word and searching for those as well. You may also like to use a THESAURUS or a DICTIONARY to help find related words.   Last week, we finished our series on Women Teaching , where we did a word study on every occurrence of women teaching in the Bible.   I offered up a new CHALLENGE to find the word “Aunt” in the scripture which will lead us to WISDOM , a ver...
