1 Corinthians 12:28 says nothing about ordaining women to deacon, priest, or bishop. A variety of functions in the church does not mean women were ordained, there is no evidence and no mention of any woman being ordained. You have continuously ignored 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 and 1 Timothy 2:12 ...

Denial, denial, denial. You have not offered a single verse where any woman was ordained, because there aren't any. Having the gift of prophecy does not make a woman a priestess. It's unbiblical and totally unheard of in the early church. The Blessed Virgin Mary, blessed among women according to...

Jeremiah was not a woman. He was a Patriarch chosen by God. Miriam was not a priestess. Being a prophetess does not mean ordination nor does it mean priesthood. There is no evidence that Anna was ordained to be a priestess. I already covered that in post #63 that you ignored. Prophesying does...

Fundamentalism interpretation had its origin at the time of the Reformation, arising out of a concern for fidelity to the literal meaning of Scripture. After the century of the Enlightenment, it emerged in Protestantism as a bulwark against liberal exegesis. The actual term "fundamentalist" is...

Gen. 3:15; Luke 1:26-55; John 19:26; Rev. 12:1- Mary is God’s greatest creation, was the closest person to Jesus, and yet Jesus did not choose her to become a priest. God chose only men to be priests to reflect the complimentarity of the sexes. Just as the man (the royal priest) gives natural...

I gave you scripture, scripture and scripture and you ignored them. I gave historical facts but you are forced to dispense with history and here you are repeating the same heresies of the 3rd century. I am still waiting for ONE scripture that says women were ordained. Instead, you produce verses...

Protestantism has been compelled to rewrite all history according to it’s own necessities. As French historian Augustin Thierry has written, “To live, Protestantism found itself forced to build up a history of its own.” John Henry Cardinal Newman (1801-1890), the great English convert to...

That's pitting the "church/faithful built on Christ" against the Church Jesus established. The Bible never does that. It's a man made tradition. The Bible doesn't make the Church purely spiritual either. Nobody is saying the Church is built "on any man", that's a straw man fallacy. Jesus builds...

Still waiting for the verse that says Pheobe or any other woman was ordained.

You have no business making unbiblical assertions you can't back up. You haven't posted a single verse supporting women's ordination and I have posted several to the contrary. You just ignore them.

I have given several scriptures indicating women are NEVER ordained, you haven't given any to the contrary. WIFE does not equal ordination. WOMAN does not equal ordination. More word games...

Adam and Eve does not prove women were ordained. Again, you contradict yourself. No, this reinforces the fact that women were not ordained. You contradict yourself. "G2338 θήλυς thelus (thee'-lïs) and G1135 γυνή gune (ǰ ï-nee') n." doesn't prove women were ordained. If you mean you were...

No, it wouldn't. His Spirit would go with the insitutional Church because they are inseparable. You can't separate Jesus' body from His Spirit either. Both. Jesus lifted Peter up. I made no mention of Peter in post #122. It doesn't look purely spiritual to me. Peter and the papacy was the...

"...neither male nor female..." has NOTHING to do with ordination. Show me your scripture where any woman was ordained as deacon, priest, or bishop. You haven't done that. Large red fonts doesn't prove anything. Women were not ordained. You have no scripture because none exits. There are lost...

Paul never married. A bishop to be husband of one wife means he cannot remarry as a widow because he then becomes married to the Church. The "first wife" is the "one wife". There cannot be a second wife for widowed bishops. 1 Tim. 3:2 – Paul instructs that bishops must be married only once...

You an isolate words and mix-match them to make them say what you want them to say, but there is not a shred of explicit scriptural evidence that Pheobe was ordained, and not a single Early Church Father made any mention of it. It is a modernist argument recently invented to justify ordaining...

Of all those who follow the Lord Jesus and, in His name, are close to the poor and the suffering, trying to offer some relief, comfort and peace... “All of those who do these things, which the Lord sent us to do are the Church”. Thus we understand that the visible reality of the Church cannot...

I think he knows more than you and I put together. The Pope observed that the Church represents the Body of Jesus, and that its visible dimension- that is the structures and people who make up the Church – are at the service of its spiritual reality, witnessing to God’s love for all mankind...

The study of history, especially early church history, is forbidden in your church? That would explain a lot. Do you at least read a newspaper? Wonderful. Catholics believe the Church is spiritual AND physical. A purely invisible church is not biblical and not it historical until Luther came...
