If you choose to make this personal with insults and purposeful disrespect, I can give you my phone number. That would allow you to say what you really want to. Send me an IM and I will oblige.
You have the most disrespectful mouth I have heard in a while. I quote God's word, and only God's word, and you start pointing the finger at me? Clearly, as Christ said, there are many antichrists around.
You strongly encourage me? Really? And who are you?
Then stop hindering Him and trying to pervert His word.
Again, you like to judge, philly, and, that's your prerogative, it's not His, though, I strongly suggest that you stop, for your own sake, as, "He disciplines His own," Scripture tells us.
--------------
I haven't said one thing disrespectful to you, philly, only speaking what you need to hear, and, yes, the Lord leads, and, yes, for some (you especially), the Truth is going to hurt, sometimes.
Quit bashing women, quit thinking that you're understanding God's will in a woman's life without knowing God's thoughts or mind. Yes, Scripture is clear, that women are not to preach or teach authority over men, but, I think, we can agree that God, sometimes, does things different than man's mind can fathom .
As I said, there are situations where God brings a woman to pastor a church, and, just because God says in Scripture that Paul "suffers" not a woman to preach or teach over a man but to be silent it don't mean that God can't do it. He can do anything well He pleases. And, furthermore, He does.
So, what. So you, tucksmama, and, some others want to keep your stance on a woman never pastoring men. Fine. Go for it. But, don't tell me those kind of chauvinistic ways, because that's not love and I'm not listening to anything that I'm not led to believe by Him; it will be said in love. And, what you say is NOT love and that's not even going to be given a nanosecond of listen to by me.
You talk down to me much more, a.k.a. 'condescend' and what you think has been 'disrespectful' (which has not, you're just not understanding the Truth correctly, bro) will become even more so discplinary toward you as i'm led to speak. Maybe, it's best you just stop speaking in this thread
YOu think. The Lord leads. I would give serious prayer consideration to your constant disrespect (speaking of 'that' word) to women here and let the Lord identify/show you where your judging is leading you down a path He's not leading
