Yes but the church has already fallen away from the bible in the matter of church leadership, in fact the bible pattern for church government was not recovered at the Reformation.
Praise the Lord we had new light, great doctrines were brought to the fore, I give thanks for the reformers. But the new wine was poured into old wineskins, the priest became pastor, the bishop became moderator or some such and the cardinal became general secretary.
That is not the bible pattern for church leadership, the results are plain for everybody to see, we have men in places of leadership who were ordained by men but neither called or ordained by God. THAT is the real problem.

So then you are agreeing with what I have said. Why then the argument ??? It seems to me you are saying that the Pentanolal religion has lead the way away from the Scriptures which is what I said.
So why argue??????

AMEN. That is not a new revelation. Azur was a false prophet. Hananiah was a false prophet. Zedekiah was a false prophet. I could name hundreds of false prophets that go back 5 or 6 thousand years.
However......THAT fact does not dimish the fact that GOD SAID that it is MAN who must be the pastor of the New Test. church.
You said...........
"Given the choice you would take a called woman over a man not called to pastor."
Well my friend, that is what life is all about...CHOICES. Personally.... I would choose tofollow the Word of God and the day that the church I attended called a woman to be the pastor, would be the day that I left that church because that church would not then be in the will of God.
Your choice is yours!
