*Again, I have wasted enough time with this. Most will simply believe what they want to believe. Indeed, it is threads exactly like this that prompted my signature line - after years & years of intense debate, this is my observation...as this thread has well demonstrated.


*God Bless.

Amen!

Again, please go and review all that has been posted in this thread and strengthen your arguments. In that way you will see that there is no way around this, women are not to lead adult males who are the only heads of their households. Men lead men into battle, and in the hunt, women are home keeping the home and children.

In Jesus name

*Indeed, the lady I referenced earlier in this thread used to go up to the pulpit & do her usual red-faced spittin' & sputterin' under the guise of "anointing" while her husband tended to their little girl (but not while I was her pastor).


*How on earth someone cannot see the role-reversals going on here is absolutely mind-boggling.


*Been fun - God Bless.

That's why its way more than an issue about letting a woman climb behind a pulpit. It is far more than that. KeptByTheWord nailed it in post 2686.

Must not have been important to the Holy Spirit.

You cannot relegate a verse as uninspired when Paul said his writings were God's word. Just drop your concept. It's wrong, not Paul.

Good point Brother Blume.

And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

[Esaias]

Since when did doctrine get determined by some kind of "majority rule" thing, as if we only have to heed God if he repeats himself over and over again?

If your daddy told you something, and you waited until he had to repeat himself three or four times, wouldn't that mean you were a stubborn brat? I expect my children to listen to me the first time, not wait till the third or fourth time.

I understand Scripture to teach that a man who marries a woman that has been divorced commits adultry because she is bound by law until death. I have always taught this to be applicable both ways (for the man also), but I don't believe I have read anywhere it is addressed to men. Does anyone have some light to shine on the subject for me?

When scripture says that deacons and bishops must be the husband of one wife, I have wondered if that could possibly be meant more toward polygamy than a 2nd marriage. Although, I teach it against 2nd marriage. Polygamy isn't an issue from my location, but there are parts of the world where it is. Sorry for changing subjects, but this thread has got me thinking in a few different directions.

The remarriage issue is a difficult one.

But regardless of anything, God expects people to fulfill a vow. And if your vow was "until death do us part", then it seems divorce is simply not an option. Does a vow override a permission from Moses, given because of hardness of heart?

The husband of one wife simply means that a minister MUST be married, or been married (if spouse died). Remember 1st Timothy 3:4. The qualification to be a bishop is that he must prove himself as a leader of the home. Kind of hard to do if you were never married. Paul as a Pharisee had to have been married, due to the Judean culture, he was alone due to his conversion and seemingly remained that way. Well, that is just a thought. Yet, it looks as marriage is paramount qualification for leading minsters.

Sounds like another thread is in order?
