Women pastors

[Vickilynn]

I was not aware that sound teaching of God's Word was a "competition".

Is it easilyrealized how ridiculous this sounds? Yeah, the IC debating over who gets to teach God's word. Embarrasing.

That made me smile. How strange Christians must look to non Christians over this topic.

Reminds me of the extreme Muslim practices of women living their lives through a mesh window in the blanket they have to wear over their whole body. Did you know that faction doesn't let their women work, so if a woman (including mothers with children) are kicked out or their husband dies, they are reduced to begging as their only means of support.

Wow............what a stretch----------------- apples to apples at least please.

Actually it is more relevant than you think. What do you think their reasoning is.......

1. men are to be the leaders, teachers, directors, the inflencers of the world, etc.

2. women need to be protected, led, directed

3. women are easily deceived

4. women are the weaker sex

Shalom,

Again, Let's please dispense with the Red Herrings of Muslim women, Muslim beliefs and get back back to the topic at hand of women CHRISTIAN pastors.

Shalom Ruth,

Harlot is a less offensive word meaning the same as the "w" word. In fact, several translations use it.

Well, I guess that leaves us KJV only folk out in the cold eh? Why am I not surprised?

[OopsMartin]

My impression is that threads on the topic ARE allowed, (and please correct me if I am wrong, mods) but when they descend into vain quarrels, the mods rightly close them down because they are not glorifying to our Lord Jesus.

Exactly. Vain quarrels over the use of a word.

I like what brother Paul wrote when he puts offending in context: 1 Cor 9:22 To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak; I have become all things to all men, so that I may by all means save some.

yes, good word. now what does that mean.

But we all know the scriptures which discuss who should be ordained, after reading those I don't know what else there is to discuss?

Yes we do!

Never women

Never unmarried men

Never unmarried men without children

And if a husband's wife dies who is a pastor then he needs to step down too! It's so simple.

Yes, we know, don't we!

No "we" don't know, which is why this is argued over, and over and over......................

Shalom,

Ummmk, because you've been down this road before and people told you the truth?

There are KJV-only boards, but this isn't one of them, although we do have KJV-only people here.

Listen, KJV-only is a topic for another thread. KJV is NOT the only Bible translation.

And besides, please check the your Bible for ALL the KJV references to having grace with your speech so as not to offend.

Thanks!

Smalcald used 'we' so I was confirming what he said. It's funny and I was just trying to be funny.

LOL but they won't let their women be religious leaders either..... for those same reasons that patriarchy cites, which are the same 4 points.

OK OK, I'll get back to American points. It's too nice a day to be upset over anything.

If this board promotes censorship of ideas because they are "offensive" to some, I will wipe the dust off my feet and leave here as well...

As I stated in my post and my two PMs to you, it isn't the "ideas" but the presentation that offends.

Yes, we have a Terms of Service and expect you to comply like everyone else. If you choose not to, feel free to move on.

The issue is proper context. It isn't a word or an idea but it is that word or idea taken out of context to the whole Word of God.

Shalom Ooops,

Yes, YOU should NOT be upset about anything as trivial as a message board discussion.

And if you're assuming anyone else is upset, you're wrong!

I'm just objecting to you hijacking the thread.
