Now see Rowdy this is how you get yourself in trouble. You say things that are almost correct but not totally. Paul never said do not marry he said it would be to their benefit not to marry, but if they are open to temptation lacking self control they should marry. Why did he say do not marry? Anyone in the ministry will tell you ministry is as very hard strain on marriage. The spouse will feel pressure that is beyond their control just because people try to use the inside track a spouse has with the pastor. Furthermore many called into ministry faced a problem where the calling was taking them places the family could/would not go. Lastly when persecution arises many times the spouse is attacked as way to get at the pastor. So yea it probably would be better for a one called to ministry not marry but how many have the self control? Not many my friend from the headlines with are reading. Lately you have been using a new tactic saying this is the last thing I'm going to say on this. Well that is a little like saying I want the last word and I really don't care what else you say. EdB |

I really do appreciate your maturity, your kindness and open mindedness. My wife has been telling me lately I'm spending too much time on this Forum to suit her anyway. So I think I'll follow Colin's lead and take a few weeks vacation and see what develops. If the Lord decides that I need to stay off the Forum permanently I can accept that. It's been a real pleasure reading your posts and exchanging ideas and opinions about God's Holy Word. Thanks for your support. God's richest blessings on everything you do and say. Keep the faith, dear friend. --Rowdy |

Dear Rowdy, I am helping my son research a project for (Christian) high school on women's role in the church. I have printed out many of the things posted on the forum, in addition to many translations, commentaries, etc.. Many useful perspectives/viewpoints put forth in this forum. His teacher will grade him on how he went about his research and how that research helped create his interpretation, but will withhold his (teacher's) own interpretation of scripture until students have completed their projects. Freedom to think in the body of Christ--yeah! So, that's how I found this site. Now to my comment. I really appreciate your gracious responses to this subject and to those that have strongly disagreed with the way in which you have put things. Thank you for being a good (and much-needed at this moment in my life) example of Christ. No need to respond; likely I won't be back. (I never spend much time on the net and have gathered what I need for my son.) But thank you. And God bless you. rr |
