Paul, being high among the Pharisees, knew there were women in the Old Testament who where not only spirit filled, but were given authority over many, including men. Deborah for one. Esther saved all of Israel. Paul was going by his own custom, for he indicates "I do not allow."
I belong to no denomination, but I listen to people who speak to me with the intention of glorifying Jesus Christ, and if I feel the presence of the Holy Spirit in his or her speech, I pay close attention.
I am not an avid follower of any other than Jesus Christ, however I have been helped greatly by Joyce M. when she spoke on how freewill offereings are converted to a sweet mell when offered up to God. A freewill offering is an offering of thanksgiving in my understanding, so do not go off thinking it is a work or some perverse addition to the Sacrifice fo our Lord, Jesus Christ.
When JM spoke, the Holy Spirit was in her words and filled me. I believed what she spoke, and a miracle occurred giving glory only to Jesus Christ.
Perhaps she is not perfect always. Now, just how stupid did that ound. Of course no one waiting for God to finishe the work He began in him or her is perfect, but He promises the work He has begun will be finished on His time.
I do not believe the intention of this forum is to have witch trials, or any kind of trail of our individual family members. If JM has erred in any way, gee, I guess I forgive her. I have not sought out error in this woman, but when I have heard her speak, I have been blessed and give glory to Jesus Christ.
If you all wish to judge for yourself what is right, as Jesus teaches, why not get on the case of the preacher who collected funds from his followers, bought planes and gold mines in Africa using church funds, and claimed he was saving souls in Africa. Perhaps he was, but it sounds a mite fishy to me.
Praise God always. If a brother or sister seems off to you, tell him or her. If he or she is not physically available, then pray for the person, but do not come into th eforum attempting to condemn.
