Bible Note: Hi, God's servant! I understand you position! It is true that in a widely diverse world as we have today, variety is a key function... but remember that it is the Holy Spirit that guides and touches us. I have witnessed mass of people congregating because a certain "somebody" was guest speaker/preacher... were they there for God or for the person in front of them? Our fidelity to God should not depend on the face representing God! As I said to Zsuzsi, I do not purport to have all the answers... but I have not found any proof that God is calling females to be pastors and preachers. Does God have the right to do so? Indubitably! Do we have the right to determine who serves God in what office? Not! (See 1 Timothy 3:1-16) God Bless! Angel |
