I agree; that is a ridiculous comment. When you're ready to return to having a reasonable discussion, let me know.Just one:
You must have forgotten that we're not allowed to use scripture that is man's opinion not the inspired word of God.

Meaning, a prophet is able to shut his or her mouth when appropriate.
1 Corinthians 14:29-32
Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others judge. But if [anything] is revealed to another who sits by, let the first keep silent. For you can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be encouraged. And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
What, you thought it meant a prophet has editing and revision authority over the message God speaks through them?
JohnR7 said:
Yet women can give a prophecy and the pastor is subject to the prophecy.
We are not
The elect lady was not a pastor. She was just helping the real pastors who are incharge in teaching right doctrines. There is only one woman pastor in the Bible and she is called Jezebel. Those who listen to Jezebel will have tribulation. Her children will die.
Rev 2:20-26 KJV
Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and of Christ which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.
But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.
And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
the quote by Johnny up above indicates he thinks pastors are subject to prophecy. they are not.
So, in your opinion a woman gives a true prophecy from God, a pastor doesn't have to pay any attention to it, because, they are a pastor?
I almost purposely used a translation that retained the 'brothers' but I decided not to because I agree that when Paul says to prophesy, etc. he is including women, not excluding them. The rest of scripture shows us they are not prohibited from doing that. The mistake being made in this thread is the things women can do are being confused with what women can not do, which is hold an office of authority in the church.
Are you ready to reconcile the contradiction your doctrine creates between 1 Corinthians 14:26-33 , and vs. 34-38 following? If you need me to explain the contradiction again, I will.I agree; that is a ridiculous comment. When you're ready to return to having a reasonable discussion, let me know.
I said nothing of the kind
Please read post #178.Are you ready to reconcile the contradiction your doctrine creates between 1 Corinthians 14:26-33 , and vs. 34-38 following? If you need me to explain the contradiction again, I will.
you don't believe in NT prophecy anyway so what is your point? so your true prophecy notation lacks in sincerity
What's your beef with John then?
I took him to mean that a pastor isn't above prophecy. Did you think he meant something else?
Where in the world did you get that idea? Because it's not true, and I've never said anything even remotely like it.
I find it difficult to believe that miraculous powers and signs are the only things which are "spiritual in nature"
So, in your opinion a woman gives a true prophecy from God, a pastor doesn't have to pay any attention to it, because, they are a pastor?
The word Pastor is not in the scripture. The Latin word for that designation is, Shepherd.We are not

Sadly, you sound as if that's a new idea for you.oh, we're respecting persons now?
it really doesn't matter what kind of '
If only you would accept as readily when you are wrong.credentials' anyone has when they are wrong.
it's unnecessary to go through an entire argument point-by-point when the foundation of it is refuted.
I'm the one that reminded you of Paul's saying we are all one in Christ.this is the same Paul who wrote that their is neither male nor female in Christ. if you're suggesting again that he's self-contradictory why do you cite him for evidence to plead your case?
believe he knows what he's saying. instead of trying to argue that 1 Corinthians & Timothy are apostolic brain-farts maybe you ought to look into why he would teach these things knowing full well that in the Spirit there isn't distinction.
there is another Greek word, anthropos, meaning mankind in general, as distinct from other creatures - found in 1 Cor. 14:2 for example. it's not as though he doesn't have the vocabulary to use a word that distinguishes species rather than distinguishing gender. he uses both in the same chapter. [
/QUOTE]
The only thing that quoted part of your remarks requires in response is to suggest you not change Paul's words to your intention for their meaning.
When someone argues that God is as bigoted toward women as they are, they have a very weak argument that is grounded in blasphemy.
I've edited this five times to remove the quote blocks that appear , not my doing. And it never saves, so.....![]()
The word Pastor is not in the scripture. The Latin word for that designation is, Shepherd.
Question: "Does the Bible teach the office of pastor?"
Answer: The word pastor comes from a Latin word which means “shepherd.” The New Testament presents two offices that constitute church leadership—elder/overseer and deacon. [Article]
As has been discussed already, that would mean the office of Deacon that was filled by women are valid as members of church leadership.
As are teachers of the word, because their duty is to shepherd the flock.
No, if you believed that you'd accept what is taught about the Bible in the link I provided that you did not care to read.It is just your opinion. The fact is in the Bible.
I tell you, I think there is more than one person here who have more than one person on an account they log into. If you get my meaning. Too many "members" sound alike. And when someone defends someone elses thoughts as if they know them personally, it is a clue I think we should take a look at.actually, what is your beef with me?
did John hire you as his lawyer?
further, if I disagree with what someone said, that does not mean I have a personal beef with that person
since you have denied other gifts of the spirit, why would I think you do not also deny the prophetic? note I didn't say that you deny Bible prophecy..we are speaking here of the gift of prophecy...something that mostly fakes claim they have...but don't worry about it.
nobody said that either, so whatever
I find the way you dodge my actual posts and attempt to put words in my mouth the thing that is actually difficult to believe
remember, YOU posted to me...I didn't ask you anything...your way of trying to brush off what you apparently do not care to respond to is more than a little irksome. my days are apparently not as long as are yours.
I probably just will not bother to respond further here as it is going nowhere fast
