​Consider the real estate of churches is empty most of the time, it seems silly not to use for the benefit of the less well off or down and out. A bit of food, a shower, a warm bed, and a comfortable chair. It is a pity that when designing their buildings they do not take into a consideration...

In a two year study of the New Testament Church (NTC) certain things stood out to me. One was that there is not a single incident where "a pastor" was in charge and paid for the privilege. Second, no one was addressed by a title. An example is Paul an apostle, not Apostle Paul. Recognition by...

​And you are threatening to report me. Just to clear things up for you I was educated to year 10. In my 20s I attended two years of bible college full time and obtained a degree in theology. Later on I went to two universities, one of which was the best one in the country and obtained three...

Your constant avoiding of the truth gets on my nerve but I don't threaten childish responses like reporting you because I am offended. I am more mature than that. This is addressed to Barrd.

I was asked for the 25 verses. I was not asked for an exegesis of them. Being autistic, I don't do what I am not asked to do.

Like me Tom, you probably believe that being the majority does not make it right. Being autistic as I am, you develop a dogged attitude to life because if you don't you go under very quickly. I have noticed when you have a disability like I have, there are plenty of people out there who are good...

I used to enjoy your writing but not any more because you are getting personal and making accusations that are pure speculation and cannot be back up with any credible evidence. I expect that from atheists who have no morals but not from believers.

​This verse is about salvation, not what people do regarding ministry so get used to it.

And which ones are those? Do I detect a note of cynicism?

The problem with that it is the product of A denomination. My sources are not A denomination , it is the whole counsel of God to be found in the thoughts and writings of men from all over the place. That way I avoid being the captive to one specific way of thinking. That to me bearing in mind...

Actually I much prefer rainbow trout to red herrings.

​Because of the priesthood of all believers we should all be servants but that doesn't make us teachers. In fact it says be not many masters which means teacher as it is the same Greek word didaskalos.

Romans 16:1 I commend unto you Phoebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea: Note: Servant...an attendant, waiter at tables or other menial duties. Technically a deaconess. Rom 16:2 That ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and that ye assist her in...

But it has nothing to do with women teaching in the church.

Ever heard of any of these guys.... Abraham, Moses, David, Jacob, Joseph,Saul, Solomon, Elisha, Elijah, Adam, Noah, Isaac, Aaron, Absalom, Joshua, Joab, Ahab, Job. Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, James, Timothy, Philemon, Paul, Barnabas, Aquilla, Felix, Gamaliel, Herod, Pontius Pilate, Judas...

Once again dear lady...context. Without a context it is a pretext.

​A lot of truth here. Generally speaking we have put ourselves into bondage to man made organisations which in many cases is nothing like the church of the New Testament and from what I have seen on three continents the main purpose of them is to control. Do things our way and you are approved...

My son has nine kids and he and his wife never do the dishes. They have trained the kids to do them.

Sad to say she does believe this, but then that is nothing new in the body of Christ as there are diverse views as to what constitutes success. A classic example is my own church which one would call a success as it has gone from a few to 10,000 in 10 years. Is that success? It is from my...

And this relates to salvation, not women teaching. As I said context dear lady, context.
