The scripture must be in agreement with scripture.... this is just pointless. How many female disciples did Jesus send out 2 by 2 to prepare / preach/ heal/ in the towns He was going to ?

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already covered that but it is not accepted within the context of what it says. And anyhow I guess I will leave it at that. No, actually you didn't. Thanks though.

Some people act as though they can carry God around in a guided cage to release him out into the world to support their own ideals, when necessary. The word of God is not to be scavenged through for the gold to justify themselves, but to find the gold that God placed there for everybody to find.

Show me where in the Bible it states that taking the word of God out into the world does not mean that the Men and women are to not follow the scriptural roles they have played through the years. Women can proclaim the word of God, but does that mean they can proclaim it to men and women alike or just to women and children? There is a difference between proclaiming the word of God to those who have not heard it and preaching to those who have inside a church of God, who made the roles of men and women quite clear.

No, there's no difference. Or Jesus would have said there was. And he did not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Do you think people actually just show up at a church because they like the pointy roof. There is a thirst there that has been wetted by those who have spoken about God.

Doing and saying what God has already said he is going to do is not carrying God around anywhere. It is carrying the Bible around with them a reading it without presumption. There is no division other than those who follow the Bible as it is set down and those who set down with a Bible and follow their own ideals. As I've said before, If God wished women to be pastors there would be a long history of that and he would not suffer the culture of men to stifle that. To assume any different is to deny the scriptural evidence to the contrary. Either god is on the throne or he is on the run. To me he is on the throne and his will is manifest everywhere, not just where the assumed rule of man resides.

The was in their house and nothing was said about anyone else being in charge of it... in fact that it is Priscilla and Aquila that are doing the "saluting" for that church makes it seem that it's their place as leaders to do that sorta thing. Oh well.. God Bless. Greetings Ted and all, I'm back after taking some time off, and I feel renewed and excited to be here (before I begin my Spanish lessons). If I may digress a wee bit, you said something here that has always gnawed at me. You said two people with the HS seeking both God and wisdom and yet they come away with different interpretations, meaning, and insight. THAT has always confused me, but I guess that goes along with why are there so many different congregations with different beliefs? And why we can't all agree on this one. Ultimately I determined this (not saying it is a revelation from God mind you) - I think God may be very interested that we major in the majors, but I don't think he's "biting his nails" when we differ over small stuff, the minors. Obviously, small stuff to God might be different to us, right? But here is my big moment in this post- I think God is much more interested and watching how we relate to each other through our differences! Ta-daaaaaaaaaaa! That is why when I get myself involved in a serious debate like this one, I stop, take a deep breath, and make sure I check myself not to have "hard" feelings toward my siblings here who disagree with me. I know how easy something like that can happen and that old wily serpent starts planting evil thoughts in my head. So, Churchmouse, davida, Giller, simple Jeff, wing nut, old school, and others I didn't mention who believe women should not teach or have any authority over man.....I BLESS YOU IN THE NAME OF OUR POWERFUL GOD AND HIS EQUALLY POWERFUL SON, LORD JESUS. Okay, you may continue now... Side note: I purposely didn't mention Willa or muffet because no one can have hard feelings toward those two sweet ladies, no matter what comes out of their keyboards. Love going out to all, especially our moderators for their hard work, spock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
