Answer 2

Good study tools are essential in finding places, in Scripture, containing topical information. For the "Authorized Version," (No. Amer. dialect) or, KJV (King James Version (c.1611), Strong's Exhaustive Concordance is exemplary. Being, myself, one who has beliefs founded upon Biblical principles, I wouldn't do you the dis-service of telling you exactly where, by chapter and verse, to "find" answers. That's because; answers that someone "gives" you, like the ones obtained in school, during an exam, from someone behind you, tend not to be highly valued. Why? You didn't work for it. And, they tend not to be readily retained.
Suppose you, however, were to come to believe that all things were created "by Him, for Him, and through Him," (hint: New Testament [covenent]. It was He, then, who gave you life, the "strength of your hands," the ability to see, hear, hunt, fish, and all because He cares about you, one electron in the scheme of the universe! He then promises you that he will adopt you into His very family, as a son, with full rank and privileges, and already has the confidence in your ability to do your part in making it so, that he calls Himself, your "Father, in Heaven!"
Gratitude isn't too very expensive, is it?

The church in Corinth become a multitude. Paul sent countless letters to them admonishing them, and answering questions that they had asked. a minimal of one in each of those letters is lost - in all likelihood the 2d letter to the Corinthians is extremely the 0.33 - or possibly greater. some have faith some have been blended. At any fee, formerly females were excluded from the courtroom circumstances, as become common then. although, Christian men and ladies worshipped jointly (generally), and a very good form of early church leaders, alongside with clergymen and bishops, have been females. In Corinth, that they had only those days joined in during the amenities, yet that they had no concept of what become occurring, as no-one had afflicted to offer them any training. So, they might ask what become occurring, which become felt become disrupting to the flow of the provider. Paul's advice become to no longer ask during the provider, yet to invite their husbands later, at abode. there become additionally a feeling that females like to chit-chat, or gossip in church. We nevertheless think of that way right this moment, even no rely if it extremely is no longer actual! (adult males gossip greater advantageous than females lots of people think of.) lower back, the provider must be solemn and correct, without idle chatting. This passage isn't against females clergymen, or females giving sermons, or something like that. this is extremely to the church in Corinth, and is between the stuff Paul suggested to objective to straighten up the incorrect issues that have been occurring there. with regard to the submission stuff - modern-day in Ephesians. in case you look, females are to appreciate their husbands, yet husbands are required to love our different halves. somewhat diverse! those comments are often taken out of context, very like the speaking in church one. It must be suggested that a number of those ideas are Paul's, and not the church's. He says this some cases. And, the cases have been such that females had little or no function in society, a minimal of exterior the abode. Christians residences have been diverse from many, as people have been plenty greater equivalent. a minimal of, on the start. This additionally replaced sufficient that via the 0.33 century, you have been no longer seeing woman clergymen, and so on.

Answer 4

Not that I know of. At least, not specifically for food. The closest I can think of is the Lord's prayer in the book of Matthew "give us this day our daily bread" (Matt. 6:11).
