Context of 1 Cor 7:27 has nothing to do with the qualifications of a church pastor. If you do not want to marry then don't marry. If you expect God to call you into a pastorate then seek a wife. For the cause of Christ Roger

Sorry but there is nothing humorous about that type of remark. For the cause of Christ Roger

God said that pastors are to be married. You do not have a wife seek one from God. He that getteth a wife from God getteth a good thing. For the cause of Christ Roger

Just another ignorant remark. Why would you disparage the Son of God in that fashion? For the cause of Christ Roger

Then God will send you a wife and the wisdom required to honor God. For the cause of Christ Roger

God is God and God does not change with the passage of time as we know the concept of time. In the new earth there will be no night so there will be no passage of time? Foreknowledge and preordination are two different things. People post about a lot of things. For the cause of Christ Roger

God chooses whom He desires to have as pastors of the local congregations. You err when you consider that I have denominational affiliations. The bible remains unchanged in the admonition that only married men are called to be pastors. God does not force men to marry for any ministry. That is...

Do you believe that God is omniscience? God is never surprised and knows everything from beginning to end. How can God know the future with exact precision and be limited by time? Actually God occupies all of time all of the time. Past, present and future God is there all the time. There is no...

Repentance is part of how we are saved. We come to the point when the Holy Spirit makes it plain that we cannot save ourselves. We come to see that if we are not saved we will perish in the lake of fire for all of eternity. The Holy Spirit makes it plain that only Christ is able to save us and...

Your denominational entanglements prevent you from seeing the rather obvious pitfalls of a single man counseling married men or women. Single women in counseling presents many opportunities for scandalous appearances. I realize that nothing will prevent you from pursuing this unbiblical path...

Well why don't you tell me how many years are in eternity? Time is a construct for man not for God. For the cause of Christ Roger

Paul was not a church pastor so his marital status is not a disqualifier. For the cause of Christ Roger

Ps 90:4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. Not to mention all the scriptures that speak of eternity. Eternity speaks of timelessness. For the cause of Christ Roger

No you continue to argue from a failed viewpoint. You assume God made Deborah a leader over Israel. What you really see is man placing women in leadership roles not God. For the cause of Christ Roger

No that's why Jesus paid the price for sin. Only Eternal God could pay the debt sin created. For the cause of Christ Roger

You completely misapply what Deborah did in Israel. You also omit the contribution made by Barak. Certainly her office of judge in Israel was not to be compared to pastor of a church. Historically Israel was in a state of decline after the death of Joshua so you need to ask why God did not...

The baptism of the Holy Spirit is to bring to life the soul dead in trespass and sin. The filling of the Holy Sprit is to cleanse and make fit for service to the Lord. Instead of seeking power the believer is to seek holiness and purity in the Lord. Power and gifts are corrupted by hearts that...

Men continue to attack Gods word to undermine it's authority. From Adam and Eve forward women are never given authority over the man. God has set apart the office of pastor for men. Women are a very valuable component in the church and the church does not run well if they are absent. The church...

Well first of all it is not Jesus who is speaking in the passage but John. Fire remains symbolic of the cleansing of the Holy Spirit. This is a cleansing only God can perform. For the cause of Christ Roger

Fire in this context is the Holy Spirit. The fire represents cleansing and purification. The fire predicts our being made righteous and being sanctified. Tell the truth the cloven tongues of fire indicating the presence of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost also indicate a purification and...
