BTW
You didn't answer any of my questions. Here's an easy one. Did Paul have women "laboring" with him in his ministry?

Is Galatians 3.28...29 Truth?
That's sounds like a trick question to me because Paul said there are neither male nor female… Galatians 3:28 New International Version (NIV) 28 "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." So gender makes no difference any more. We are one in the spirit, we are one in the Lord.

Not a trick question. But, it does show that God does not separate people by race, status, or sex. Which counters the idea that women aren't involved as the OP said.

Yes but there were obviously women there. A person might also say from a different point of view that if they said their no women involved from a certain perspective that no men were either. I agree with you however a twisted mind usually sees things from a confirmation biased point of view and read into the scriptures a totally different meaning to support their bias. It happens all of the time. That's all.

In some of the circles I have been involved with, it's an involuntary confabulation about the truth called D.E.N.I.A.L. which is an acronym for>
'Don't Even No I Am Lying'. It's a common trait and character defect.

I agree women were there. That's my point. They were involved in the fight against evil and the spreading of the Gospel. That OP seems to think women arent.

I also read some of his comment from his Profile Page, and some of it was very disturbing...

Jesus can make the necessary changes. Some of us are dazed and confused, however the Lord still has mercy, Mark 5:15"When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons sitting there, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid."

Yes He can. He changed us all from a life of sin to a life of service.

I don't think the OP is possessed, or any such. I do think his ideas about women are wrong.

Well the part about being in the right mind is what sticks out to me the most. Most of us could use some help with that.

I do also. How did mental illness come from my first comment?

Or, were you just making an observation?

You wrote; "I also read some of his comment from his Profile Page, and some of it was very disturbing."

Confabulation and denial are part and parcel of many mental disorders. The symptoms alone neither prove or disprove any thing that would lead to the term 'dysfunctional', or mental illness, as they are very common. It was just be an observation however; prayer, understanding and discernment would be the most beneficial.

Disturbing in that I disagreed, not as in mental illness. If you read what he posted there, I think you will see.

From your comments you have been told by man that the Holy Spirit no longer speaks.
Sorry to see that. The Holy Spirit told me a while back: I dont need your help. The Lord does not need me to help you its up to us to come to come to Him and be healed. This is also from the Holy Spirit: What you do not realize is that the war is accomplished: it's not as simple as you getting the power, you have to Love the Truth. Give up your life, no more going back to idols.
I'm very thankful that.I can walk away from the pollution of idols. And this post.can just sink in the background, as mentioned God does not need my help we need His help.

Do you have the confirmation of two or three witnesses? I believe the Lord still speaks to individuals but you are talking about prophecy not word of knowledge or wisdom.

Kinda judgemental huh?

I suggest you read and understand Revelation 22.18

You are on dangerous ground when you rewrite Scripture.
