1 | Was Mary an apostle? | John 20:18 | Hank | 95026 | ||
Dear Mommapbs -- No. I see the passage under consideration as being irrelevant to what the Bible teaches about women's role in the New Testament church. --Hank | ||||||
2 | Was Mary an apostle? | John 20:18 | Mommapbs | 95048 | ||
Thanks Hank! I agree with you there, but I am struggling a bit with regard to women's ministry. I find myself being way too dogmatic and I personally will ascribe more authority to the man than to a woman - in doing so, I suspect that I deny myself hearing a message that God perhaps wants me to hear. I'll keep processing this . . . mommapbs |

3 | Was Mary an apostle? | John 20:18 | Hank | 95066 | ||
Dear Mommapbs -- With no intent to be presumptuous, may I offer a small sheaf of fodder for your processing? The Bible is replete with example upon example of how God used women, the crowning jewels of His creation, in His service. There is nothing in all God's creation that stirs my heart and lifts my spirit more than the gentle, loving care of a mother for her child or the tender heart of a faithful and devoted wife. I just returned from visiting my daughter and her new baby girl in Cape Cod. When I observed the doting care my daughter showered upon her infant daughter, my spirit soared, my heart melted, and I prayed a silent prayer of thanks and praise to God for the marvelous gifts He bestowed upon womanhood. ..... What would we clumsy, helpless men do without women? :-) --Hank | ||||||

And where would we be without you men folk too . . . I think I'll leave that to your speculation. BUT nows to the question at hand . . . how come I can't read your responses today? - there were lots and I appreciate your insight. Blessings, mommapbs |

Mommapbs - To answer your question, the forum today experienced an unforunate occurrence in which a user was removed for posts that violated the sponsor's clear guidelines. and as a consequence two threads that contained a large number of this user's posts were restricted from appearing on the home page. A number of my posts were included in those threads, but I don't mind that at all. They weren't much good anyway :-) ..... Here's something on topic that I hope will lift your spirits, a brief quotation from Mark Twain. Responding to the question, "In a world without women, what would men become?" the beloved humorist said, "Scarce, sir. Mighty scarce." --Hank | ||||||
