Do You Believe In Women Preachers?

If the women is a LONE pastor meaning un married then there should be a Bishop covering, IMO. Though this covering works better if the Bishop is married, IMO, that way the Bishops wife can be the mediator. Just a thought

Well, I suppose I meant both ... preaching and pastoring.

Also if you are against women preachers please provide scriptures and give us your explanation of why you feel this way.

What about providing scripture FOR women preachers?

I guess some folks are happy to compromise and have a man dressed up in a pink shirt with a purple necklace (I mean necktie!) tied up "Windsor fashion" like the gay and promiscuous Dukes of York... with their faces shaved clean like a woman's...!!!

So what's the difference? You might as well get a real woman up there to preach real holiness to ya'll.

...bunch of compromisin' backsliders... probably watched TV at General Conference too!

Click Here, this is a website of a church in the AL district who has a woman pastor ordained.

There you go personally attacking me. You have no clue what you're talking about, nor do you know where I stand concerning women preachers. I asked a simple question ... you have a bad spirit.

There is no attack on you in his post,Casey .... if you plan on hangin' ....you need to differentiate between a personal attack and someone going after a position or post.

The UPC has many women pastors. I can remember in several debates with Hicks the Campbellites would say the UPC has 400 women preachers listed.

So assuming that I'm against women preachers by saying "Why not providing scripture for women preachers?", saying I'm apart of a "bunch of compromisin' backsliders" and accusing me of watching TV while at GC is not not personally attacking me?

I asked a simple question about how everyone feels about this subject ... I did not say in my post how I felt about the subject personally.

Yes, I know of several women preachers licensed in that organization.
