Now dont bash me I dont believie its wrong. I just dont understand how they can pick and choose.
I don't believe in women speaking(in position to teach over) to the heads of the home at all. That is not her called duty. So don't throw me in that boat.
She can teach children and other women but not men.

I am always amazed at the arrogance of this statement. People say it's God's Word, but really, it's just convenient. God raised up Deborah to silence that nonsense.

David being called mad had nothing paganism nor did his dance. Dance is a form of worship in itself, thus his dance was celebration unto the people. Show me a reference to David saying anything about pagan in what he did or he even thought that. Dancing was a natural form of worship in Israel. Again you reference to his alleged thought process is nowhere in scripture and speculation. Also the ark is from God and not pagan, while Christmas is. Seriously retool the argument and get back to me. sheesh

It truly is sad some folks just don't have a true understanding of the Word.

It is no surprise that the ones that don't believe in women preachers don't believe in celebrating Christ birth either. Go figure. First I noticed the similiarities.

Re: We're Not Putting X-Mas Trees Up!

I have no problem with folks wanting to Celebrate Christ birth.

If folks don't want to do that, that is their option. I feel they are missing out on a lot of joy, but to each his own.

But this confirms again how folks will use scripture to believe anything they want to. We all do it. But to me the answer is you have to have a LOVE for the TRUTH or you will be deceived.

At what point (age or maturity) do boys become men, meaning their mothers can no longer teach them?

Generally that is considered 12.... Also it is not about "mothers"
