Calling upon the Elders...shall be healed...

Elders, there is a need to teach on respect for the Elders such as not to rebuke an Elder, or otherwise get sassy with one even on the Forum. Elders 'correct, judge Elders' and it is unbecoming of holiness women who are under commandment to be quiet, meek, and silent before the Elders. Women are not to give any ocassion for the adversary to speak ill of the way of God. Elders ONLY please post on this thread. Perhaps the ladies will post a thread of their own. Thanks.

See, the thing is, "Terry G.", is that I don't know who you are. I don't know if you're 70 or 17. You aren't in authority over me, and I don't know you. God I know, my husband I know, my pastor I know, but who are you?

Women aren't subjected to all men--just God and their husband and THEIR leaders. If I had to be subject to ALL men, I'd have to submit to the man who bags my groceries or submit to the guy who repairs our phone lines.

Interesting point, though...didn't you start a thread "correcting" your elder, LB? Isn't he your elder?

P.S. You're not an Admin here, ergo, you don't get to tell anyone where they can post.

LOL... Good Morning MB... How is your day going?

I was rather proud of us that no one had posted in here... but you did a pretty good job when you did post in here.

LOL!!! My day is going fine! I'm about to go run a couple of errands. I just happened upon this thread, and I suppose I couldn't pass it up since it was probably aimed at me.

*feelin' spunky*

The Bible says something about weighing the spirits...
The men that I know that fulfill the Bible mandate as an elder do not have to scream respect me...it comes as a natural thing...
Dear one...labor, a life lived for Jesus, a man of convictions no one that has the right spirit has trouble respecting...
I do not agree with every man that is an elder for they do not even agree among themselves...however respect is different than being in agreement.
