The loyal disciple has shown repeated indifference to scriptures posted. Lloyd you have an unhealthy obsession with 2 verses and simply brush off others which have been posted. You are very selective in the posts you respond to. Anything you cannot answer you simply ignore then claim you are a victim if you are not permitted to focus exclusively on your own obsession. You claim to be interested in pure scripture. Why then do you disregard so much of it?

BTW demanding eternal victim status is a VERY LIBERAL ploy. ;)
I have posted more than 2 verses and no one has shown a single verse that disagrees with any of them. It is you and your worldly mind that is doing all the disagreeing with the Bible, because you don't want to face the truth. I haven't disregarded any scripture. I read and believe it all. You just haven't shown any scripture that contradicts the several verses shown to you. It is you and your friends that completely disregard scripture in favor of your liberal ideas. And furthermore, it is you and your friends that have been claiming you were spoken too harshly to and been claiming some sort of victim status ever since I gave you the word of God. You've been the ones arguing with it and constantly claiming it somehow makes you a victim.

That is good folks, when you stop the attacking, I will stop the defending. I never told you you had to go by any verses in the Bible. I simply showed you what they were.

Acts 18:2

There he met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had ordered all Jews to leave Rome.

Acts 18:18
Paul stayed on in Corinth for some time. Then he left the brothers and sisters and sailed for Syria, accompanied by Priscilla and Aquila.



Acts 18:19

They arrived at Ephesus, where Paul left Priscilla and Aquila.


Acts 18:26

He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they invited him to their home and explained to him the way of God more adequately.

Romans 16:3

Greet Priscilla and Aquila, my co-workers in Christ Jesus.


1 Corinthians 16:19

The churches in the province of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Priscilla greet you warmly in the Lord, and so does the church that meets at their house.


2 Timothy 4:19

Greet Priscilla and Aquila and the household of Onesiphorus.
It's interesting that Priscilla is mentioned first, before her husband, in every single mention of her except when she is first introduced in Acts 18 and in 1 Cor 16, one of the earlier letters written. Both Luke and Paul place her before her husband.

Fully one-third of the people named or directly referenced in the first part of Romans 16 are women. More women than men are given specific commendations. More complimentary words are given to Phoebe, a woman, than to any specific man.

Yeah, women can tell about some bible verses, sure, but they are not allowed the pastor. What Joyce Meyer does is wrong.

Please post any Bible verse stating that women are "not allowed the (sic) pastor".

To my knowledge, Joyce Meyer isn't in a pastoral role. She is a preacher, and her ministry is primarily to women. Her theology aside, what is wrong with that?

Ignore? Put who on ignore? I did that a long time ago, and then realized the thread was very uninteresting, because the controversy is gone.

I don't believe I will ever convince a man who is convinced of his own superiority in the matter of leadership and preaching, that the Bible never says a woman can't preach. Further, it is not a salvic issue.

I guess I can say that, because I got tired of churches and denominations that say women can't be pastors, and found a Baptist denomination in Canada that does. End of aggravation!

Sorry I can't stay around, I have a sermon to prepare for church.

Yeah... just what I thought. No mention of "pastor" whatsoever. Try again.

For those who believe a woman can preach/teach/pastor, continue attending your local fellowship who believes the same.

For those who don’t believe a woman can preach/teach/pastor, continue attending your local fellowship who believes the same.

There. Problem solved. Lol.

"Teach", "authority"... has this nothing to do with "pastor"?
You tell me... where is the role of "pastor" defined in Scripture? Is there any restriction of women in that passage?

How do you know that Paul wasn't referring to wives instead of women? Same Greek word is used for both. The context of that pericope appears to be marriage relationships, specifically 1 Timothy 2:15.
