Good points, all. Paul was a human. While I agree with him I know he made a mistake or two. I have discussed this with two women who were pastors. I clearly demonstrated from the Bible that they should not be pastors but agreed that women have a big role in the church. I think it is fine for women Evangelists but not pastors. I hope I didn't say otherwise earlier. if I did it was by mistake- fingers outran brain.
Agreed. A pastor woman sounds funny.
Can we settle for pastress instead?
Bc people can be saved if they aren't Christian, even tho the Bible says not to go there bc of possible/probable hardships later on in marriage. The Bible is specific on certain issues, homosexuality is one of them. But don't forget that God can save anyone no matter what they've done or where they've been. Sin does not disqualify anyone from being saved- no matter the sin, else no one would ever be saved.
Well, I was a born again Christian who married an atheist. That means I did not give Paul much credit. And I was right. No hardship whatsoever. We spent great years together despite our different metaphysical position. We decided to let the kids decide for themselves. Alas, they turned atheists too, as it is often the case when you think for yourself. Bummer. I did not see it coming then.
But what you say is good news. Especially for the ones who never heard of Jesus nor the Bible.
