It is. He's facing enormous charges just in the U.S. if he leaves the protection of that embassy.

He'll remain hidden and grow old trying to hide from those who would prosecute him.

He is admitting he's that bad a date that a woman would rather text than set quietly with him in a theater. Poor guy.

Coup attempt is a great suggestion for all that's happening. Comey's now claiming that a memo has Donald Trump asking him to drop the Flynn investigation. Now he claims this? If that's to be believed then Comey perjured himself when he appeared before the Senate under oath and said no higher up's, and the President would be that, asked him to stop the investigation into Flynn.

That would be those who state what God is doing or thinking about any given thread in an Internet forum I expect. The word of God is not to be interpolated to satisfy the division that Jesus came to erase. And did in his ministry. And that Paul reiterated as true.

No, there's no difference. Or Jesus would have said there was. And he did not.

No, actually you didn't. Thanks though.

Mark 16:15 And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation." Realizing women were disciples walking with Jesus show me there where Jesus commanded the men, his brothers only, go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole of creation. When he was speaking those words and the women who traveled with him were there too and being directed to do his will.

Where does God say so? Book, chapter and verse please. Not the Pauline letters mind you. That's why the new testament is divided into sections to differentiate what is the gospel and what is the pastoral epistles that Paul wrote to his church. Not to us whom he had no command over as he well knew. They were letters to his churches. That's why he addressed them as such. And please reconcile how Paul said there is no male or female we are all one in Christ Jesus, when you then claim we are segregated by gender which then divides us from being one due to gender. Romans 2:11 For God shows no partiality. What scripture in the new testament has God saying what you claim there? After it was realized about God and by Peter, Then Peter began to speak: "I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism. Acts 10:34 Commentary Matthew Henry Commentary 10:34-43 Acceptance cannot be obtained on any other ground than that of the covenant of mercy, through the atonement of Christ; but wherever true religion is found, God will accept it without regarding names or sects. The fear of God and works of righteousness are the substance of true religion, the effects of special grace. Though these are not the cause of a man's acceptance, yet they show it; and whatever may be wanting in knowledge or faith, will in due time be given by Him who has begun it. They knew in general the word, that is, the gospel, which God sent to the children of Israel. The purport of this word was, that God by it published the good tidings of peace by Jesus Christ. They knew the several matters of fact relating to the gospel. They knew the baptism of repentance which John preached. Let them know that this Jesus Christ, by whom peace is made between God and man, is Lord of all; not only as over all, God blessed for evermore, but as Mediator. All power, both in heaven and in earth, is put into his hand, and all judgment committed to him. God will go with those whom he anoints; he will be with those to whom he has given his Spirit. Peter then declares Christ's resurrection from the dead, and the proofs of it. Faith has reference to a testimony, and the Christian faith is built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, on the testimony given by them. See what must be believed concerning him. That we are all accountable to Christ as our Judge; so every one must seek his favour, and to have him as our Friend. And if we believe in him, we shall all be justified by him as our Righteousness. The remission of sins lays a foundation for all other favours and blessings, by taking that out of the way which hinders the bestowing of them. If sin be pardoned, all is well, and shall end well for ever

That's very sad that she appears to be entering into a state of mind that is wholly unsound. My deepest sympathies.

And being married they are united as one. And as Christ tells us, there is no Greek, nor Jew, nor Gentile, nor male nor female. We are all one in Christ Jesus.

If a woman was in a subservient position in the new covenant and was to remain quiet in church, Priscilla and Aquila both would not have taken a man aside and educated him on the scriptures. But they did so as one in Christ. 1 Corinthians 16:19 The churches of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Prisca, together with the church in their house, send you hearty greetings in the Lord. Romans 16:1 I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a servant of the church at Cenchreae, A Servant of the Church Phoebe was not only a member of a spiritual family, but likewise a member of the visible church at Cenchrea when Paul arrived there on his third journey and from where he wrote Romans. Phoebe was not merely a confessing and active believer, she was also “a ministrant of the Church.” (more @ source) Acts 2:17-18 “‘And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams; even on my male servants and female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and they shall prophesy. Acts 21:9 He had four unmarried daughters, who prophesied.....

I believe the rules condemn personal attacks on a member. Speak to the topic not to the person affording the opinion disagreed with. Exegisis is a discipline well worth reiterating here when example of failure to comprehend exegesis insists on being heard.

Ah Godwin, you are a peach.

1 Leviticus 19:17 “You shall not hate your brother in your heart, but you shall reason frankly with your neighbor, lest you incur sin because of him. 1 John 2:11 But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes. 1 John 4:20 If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.

No, you don't know that. You think that.

If it was there to be said about the person who created a living legacy it could have been said when they were alive to respond. Talking trash about someone after they're dead and unable to respond is the act of cowardice. Smearing the dead so that the living surviving relatives have to then contend with the assaults on their family by proxy is disrespectful and cowardice. And it certainly isn't an example of Christian compassion.

If nothing else Assad knows this President is opposed to terrorists in Islam.

I think the culture issue pertains to the time being discussed and the atmosphere surrounding a Pharisee's address to his churches. Of course today's culture is different. And yet, by the read of it, there are those who are in opposition to that when it comes to women in the pulpit. Cultural progress! Except for that.

I think the hateful words of the living and how they smear those who are dead and cannot respond writes a legacy of its own for those people. One that will display as poor and cowardly character and to their eternal shame. Their behavior now forewarns their colleagues as to who they're dealing with in the future.

Titus 1:6 doesn't support the contention women cannot pastor. But it does provide an admonishment for the ill tempered in threads like this. What is being argued here is that God discriminates by gender. Of course that's a sin. There is nothing in scripture where God says women cannot pastor. Just because someone insists the letters Paul wrote to the churches mean the churches today cannot act outside of those parameters doesn't mean it is true. Paul was a Pharisee. Legalism was an issue. Culture was an issue in those times. Jesus had women in his company when he walked with his apostles. And those women learned right beside those apostles. Something women in that era would not have done. Being allowed to be equal in education to the men being educated. Jesus broke the societal norms by example. Showing that we are all one in him even when he walked and delivered his ministry. A woman was the one that discovered he had risen. And it was unto her he entrusted his message to go and beckon the other apostles to come see. That today's women especially think to abrogate Jesus' example because they wish to call Paul's letter as cause is unfortunate. It isn't what Christ did. Invoking Paul's letters as the reason for gender discrimination while ignoring God's scriptures that tell us he is no respecter of persons. Which means he isn't one to prefer males over females, just doesn't comport with following the word of God. As is claimed by those who insist God discriminates against women because of Paul's pastoral letters. That Jesus set the example in his day of having women with him in his company of disciples, women who were also disciples, and to then invoke Paul's letters as reason to ignore all Jesus did in uniting his followers above the societal norms that segregated by gender, isn't righteous. It is something else. But it is not what Jesus exampled. See, this is the word of God we're talking about. And the religion that carries Jesus' teachings forward. This isn't Paulianity.This is Christianity. And Jesus example and God's word is what carries the day. God isn't a bigot. Paul's letters to his churches should be easy to understand. TO the church in Corinth. TO the church in Thessalonia. What is hoped to be accomplished by saying in effect Paul's letters TO his churches supersede God's inspired word to the world that said well before that, God is no respecter of persons. Which necessarily means, he does not prefer males over females in service to his will. Those who insist that is not true are well able to have faith in the opposite of that. God's word stands eternal to rebut the falsehood. As does every woman pastor on the face of the earth who believes herself called to his service. The opinion that insists that isn't of God is the hubris that insists mischaracterizing letters of one man TO churches he founded overcomes by mortal opinion that God, contrary to his word, is a respecter of persons being he discriminates to say men are more apt for his service. God's will for the whole of his people is to communicate every woman pastor on earth is wrong for being there. Or, worse in the case of the most adamant of gender bias advocates invoking the name of God in the process, because this is a Godly faith not a Pauline faith, God erred when he appointed women to the pulpit. Because those mortals opposed to women in the pulpit know he really didn't mean it. And why? Because reading Paul's letters talking about wives tells them so. And all those prophetesses in scripture, old and new testaments, well those weren't called of God either. Or, worse? The gender bias argument that insists God called women to prophecy his will, but not to deliver the good news of the prophecy come true in his son Jesus Christ.

What probably is the cause of something not seeming fair to you is that you're ignoring what has been talked about in the other thread that is now closed. That the Pauline Pastoral Epistles were Paul's letters to his churches. Not revelations delivered from God. But Paul's letters governing the running of the churches he founded in Corinth, Thessolonia, and elsewhere. These pastoral epistles(aka/letters), are the only thing being used to insist God says women cannot assume a leadership role. This is not the case because those pastoral letters are not God's revelation. They are Paul's letters to the churches in his time. And some scholars even question the writing style of the Epistles in 2Timothy as being accorded authorship to Paul. It is not speaking for God to say God calls women to preach. It is in evidence in the world among the faithful to God and Jesus Christ that there are women pastors in the world. And as such that is evidence of a calling to be a pastor of the word of God itself. What is speaking for God is launching from the pastoral letters of Paul to his churches and using that as God's dictate to the world's people to say women cannot assume leadership roles in the church. If that were true there wouldn't be a woman on earth who felt called to ministry. And to specifically address the excerpt of my remark that you quoted, I meant what I said. Someone saying they know what God thinks of this thread is speaking for God. And that is not within the purview of any member or any person here. If God were believed to be watching threads in forums a lot of believers in God would likely write different posts than what is currently able to be found on the net.

Show proof of that.

I think many would prefer to see them in handcuff's and not in the White house again. Wouldn't it be a great day in the name of justice though?
