  1. Thanks one and all. I did get a notice of my appointment being made just an hour ago. It is scheduled for July 11.
  2. I would like to ask for prayer from my OB family regarding my upcoming triple heart by-pass surgery. There is no firm date for this surgery, but it will happen soon. Last week the docs tried a procedure to put in stents, but it was unsuccessful, so a triple heart by-pass is needed. Please pray with and for me.
  3. This is a possible, "here we go again" first time poster. They come and they go, but OB remains steadfast and sure.
  4. Romans 10:17 (KJV) So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
  5. John was the last of the Old Testament Prophets and the first of the New Testament preachers.
  6. Dr. Morley, in spite of your voluminous copy and paste techniques, it is easy to see through the many deflections you constantly post. This long winded reply is just one of many examples of this. I am quite sure that Holy Spirit inspired scripture is able to communicate His exact meaning to those to whom He writes, those who also have the benefit of being indwelt by this very same Spirit. Scripture backs this up nicely with words easy to understand. John 16:13 (KJV) Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. Having said that, I copy and paste the following that you posted: “the husband of one wife” – this phrase shows the bishop is male. But it also shows that he is married. Is that a requirement? Notice that you provide your own question at the end of the scripture, "is that a requirement?" This question is a deflection regarding not only what someone else posted, but also a deflection of what scripture obviously means. It is also patently obtuse on your part, for the scripture rightly assumes that the reader understands that a PASTOR is a man and of the male gender, not gender neutral, which is a term you love to use and unscriptural. This in no manner demands that a pastor be married; but it does demand that if he is married, he is to be the husband of one wife, as opposed to multiple wives. Also interesting and contradictory in this verse is the fact that you acknowledge that the Bishop or husband is male, while at other times demanding that Bishop, husband, or man is "gender neutral." This all proves to me that I, as well as others in this thread, are fully capable of understanding scripture without you interpreting it for us.
  7. Thank you for your reply to this conversation Dave. Although you don't post much; when you do it is always well thought out and biblically correct.
  8. You didn't tel me, I would have been there. ?
  9. Context is King. Your beliefs and assertions are out of context. The context in this thread is limited to women as Pastors, as verified by your own words in the title of your thread. Women leading in any other capacity is a completely different subject, and deserving of its own thread.
  10. I ask for Scripture and only Scripture and the above is what you give me. So, according to YOU, God sent me a love letter (Scripture), but it is not possible for me to understand it without you interpreting it for me.
  11. I asked for Scripture, only Scripture. minus your interpretations. I am fully capable of reading any Scripture you provide without your spin on them.
  12. I find it quite ironic that you, as a professing Christian, would attempt to explain away literal Scripture with your own opinions. The Holy Spirit was not wrong or in error when He inspired words and phrases as He did. As for me, I choose to believe Scripture rather than your interpretation of it. This is especially relevant when your supposed interpretation includes words such as: "likely, apparently, evidently, It seems, not necessarily." How about this; can you provide Scriptural proof of your assertion that, "he shall rule over thee, is ended at the cross?" Or how about: "gender neutrality is evident," You seem to rely heavily on extra-biblical interpretation. In plain words, according to you, your understanding supersedes plain, literal, Holy Spirit inspired Scripture.
  13. 1 Timothy 2:11-13 (KJV) Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. No woman can qualify as a Pastor according to Scripture. 1 Timothy 3:1-7 (KJV) This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
  14. Well done. I have watched supposed "Christian" movies before that left a lot to be desired, or were just plain unscriptural.
  15. Burnt to oblivion is just right! That's why I get more food than most. Most people hate it the way I like it, so that's more for me. I like all meat cooked this way.
  16. 1 Thessalonians 5:22 (KJV) Abstain from all appearance of evil.
  17. If that GIF you posted is you, you can be the winner. And if it is, you just disqualified yourself from Pastoring.
  18. I agree with Pastor Matt, bots can overwhelm the stats of websites.
  19. A profession oi faith is and has been acceptable in Baptist churches if a letter of good standing is not available from your previous church. So-called Briderism has nothing to do with it.
  20. Jim Hill is another musician I like to listen to. He has a wonderful voice and musical instrument ability and uses them for the Glory of God. TheNCrew
  21. As has been said by others, the human voice is a perfect musical instrument.
  22. Sorry, I just can't help it, I'm on a roll tonight. Sing to me of Heaven
  23. Although I love all the hymns this man does, I especially like this one. Till the storm passes by If you have a musically inclined ear you can pick out the bass, which he does majestically. In trying to concentrate on his bass, it helps to watch his face. The bass is on the far left. Or, how about this that he sings with his wife? She can hit such a high note on the word "valley" that it is amazing. Paradise Valley
