Are women allowed to Preach?

[lightbearer]

My Auntie is certainly not a troll. She is a wonderful daughter of the Lord. The same is true for her daughter-in-law too.

Never said she was, but trolling is what she does. This page is full of it.

That is what happens when some people know they are wrong. The only way they know is to throw a fit on the screen. They claim much maturity, but exhibit exactly the opposite. The truth always reveals itself in the end.

Unless you've read all of the pages here, you shouldn't presume to know much of anything about anyone on this longwinded Thread.

I've been reading it since page 33. You certainly don't need to read all of it to know what's been happening here.

So LD posts 526 posts repeating the same jargon like a parrot with vocabulary of possibly 20 words and that's totally acceptable to you. But if someone points out how ridiculous it is that he's spamming the thread 526 times for days on end like a 13 year old troll, then that person is guilty of trolling...??

Why do you continue exhibiting so much anger Auntie. I know you are better than this. You have allowed your bad side to take over here. Give it up to God and grab you some peace.

1 Corinthians 14:34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but [they are commanded] to be under obedience, as also saith the law.

The word "preach" does not appear in either of the above verses. Nor does "preacher", "preaching" nor any other form of "preach".

You are being too literal.

Silence from speaking (probably not from singing) excludes preaching and being under obedience excludes leading.

Reading since page 33? And arguing for almost 100 pages? What is it you're trying to accomplish, sir? I tell you honestly that no one continuing to debate this point looks anything like a member of the body of Christ trying to be one. Not one.

Women are allowed to preach in Methodist churches.

There is no connection between the length of public discussion and being of Christ.

The style of discussion can be... Discussion here become personal and ugly, we should return it to the track and discuss the topic, not us.

Sure there is-if for no other reason than that there is no unity on a non salvific point of doctrine.

Any discussion is based on non-unity. But a mutual respect and keeping the rules of good discussion is a must.

The Parroting is the result of continuing the topic. Everyone that has continued in this thread is doing it. LD is not perfect by any means. But Your posts on these last couple pages equate to nothing more than trolling personal attacks. Even your response to which I am responding to.


Trolling: make a deliberately offensive or provocative online post with the aim of upsetting someone or eliciting an angry response from them.

Your goal may not be to upset anyone; but your posts on these last couple pages are definitely trolling.

Most can't. It becomes a point of stumbling. We end up saying things that are sinful or that cause others to stumble. Either way it is a poor example; un-Christ like.

I agree with you, sir. What I don't agree with is that anyone honestly believes defending the same stance for over a hundred pages is edifying to anyone. Where's the consideration for the younger brethren? Where's the heart for the weaker vessel? If someone is provoked to wrath, how is it respectful to continue provoking them? Simply put-where's the love?

I understand what you are trying to say, but still, I think it depends on the style of discussion. Love can be shown even on 100 pages of "no position change", IMHO.

I am aware that it is difficult and that to stay peaceful, calm, love-showing is harder and harder in longer and longer discussion.

What peace would that be? The peace of God that surpasses all human understanding or one that comes from understanding man but not woman?

Do we need a man or woman to teach us, or is the Holy Spirit capable of comforting us with His peace as he alone does the teaching ?

Did you mean give it to men the infallible teacher ?

Yes Christ is the preacher, we preach Christ not man or woman.. our own selves. One is our teacher in heaven, one is our preacher in heaven .

God who has no needs is not served by human hands, men or women, Jew or Gentile.
