Bible Note: Hello Zsuzsi; I must say you do inspire me. It is very refreshing to see someone as young as yourself with such a deep hunger for Jesus. I must also say that I agree with you entirely on this issue. Just a couple scriptures to note. Col 4:15 Greet the brethren who are in Laodicea and also Nympha and the church that is in her house. This greeting is addressed to Nympha and the church in her house. Everybody except the pastor. I find it hard to believe the Paul would send greetings to a particular church and snub the pastor unless in this case the pastor was Nympha. Although this verse does not indicate she is. Most would say that she was only the host. But it doesn't say that either. All it shows is that everybody is mentioned except the pastor. Paul could have sent greetings to John Doe leader of the church that meets in Nympha's house. Rom 16:7 Greet Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen and my fellow prisoners, who are outstanding among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me. Junias was a woman, yet Paul here states that she was "outstading among the Apostles" Some may say that the word for apostle has means messanger, sent out. That is true but it means that everywhere the word apostle is used. It is the same word. Paul considered her to be an apostle. God bless |
