    PRICELESS!!!! Once again, can you show me where it talks about the office of a minister? But he wasn't competent in the New Testament because it did not exist. Not a good example as God does not exalt anyone in ministry it is doubtful that the writer is referring to the written word. The...

    Just a few thoughts. I read a book about an indigenous mission in India. People who wanted to evangelise through the auspices of the mission went to their bible college to make sure they had a good grasp of scripture and then they were sent out to an area where the gospel had not reached. They...

    One you have ignored virtually everything I said. Two, Your little homily about satan in the garden to justify your claims is complete and utter rubbish and that is about as nice as I can put it, so forgive for my bluntness. This little homily makes it very clear that you will drag up any...

    Making others work for you on the Sabbath Day

    But I am not ignoring the whole revelation of scripture, christian jews, the history books and many years study. If you think I am going to ditch all that because of your interpretation of ONE verse dream on. The New Testament Church did not meet on Sunday. I have read over 40 books on the...

    This is a good example of your fuzzy thinking which you seem to use to prop up your unbiblical claims. Christ being the good shepherd has nothing at all to do with women being pastors. Christ being head of the church has nothing at all to do with women being pastors. Christ being the high...

    Pay Your Tithe OR Spend Eternity In Hell?

    May I be so bold as to say this is typical of those who build a teaching based on one passage of scripture, ignoring the context and the revelation of scripture as a whole. Is this passage for the church? Note the first words....Even from the days of your fathers...As the church had not been...

    A few thoughts according to scripture. A woman can have a shepherding ministry as the five gifts which shepherding is one, were given in Ephesians 4:11 and there is no indication they are for men only. Shepherding is a ministry not a position so being head of the household is irrelevant. No...

    Making others work for you on the Sabbath Day

    I have already checked them over and over again, having read various books on the subject over the years and have been taught by my senior lecturer at bible college who was a converted Jew that the sabbath is sundown Friday to sundown Saturday and my own study of the Greek in scripture and...

    And nowhere in the New Testament does it talk about clergy of any gender. In my considerable study of the New Testament Church, one thing is very obvious. No one was "over" the sheep. All ministries in the new Testament were servant ministries for the simple reason Jesus said if you want to be...

    Making others work for you on the Sabbath Day

    In that case I will keep the spirit of the other nine commandments...like only commit adultery occasionally....like only bash people up, not murder them.....like love the Lord our God in word but not in deed and so on. I am not convinced that God intended for us to keep the spirit of the 10...

    A Classic - The Homeless Preacher

    As well as to be expected under the circumstances I believe is the term. I am feeling my age as I am battling cancer and coping with radiotherapy. But hey, I have had a very good innings and scored lots of runs so can't complain, many thanks.

    But the Holy Spirit was and he inspired the writing of scripture. That's a new one. Jesus trusted two women to be the first to share the news of his resurrection so that means they are qualified, to preach, to lead churches and have authority over men. What pulpit? They met together in homes...

    Where does it say in the New Testament that men are called to the priesthood Catholic version? I am glad you agree with me which only goes to show doesn't it that there is no such thing as a "shepherd" in the leadership stakes in the New Testament. I will qualify this by saying in today's...

    A Classic - The Homeless Preacher

    You have contradicted yourself here. You said homeless people are homeless by choice then you said you were homeless and chose not to be one. If you were homeless, you must have chosen to be so according to you.

    Female Pastors

    Whilst I realise that they are not right about everything, my time with the Brethren Church was made richer by the godly women that were part of the congregation. There was a richness to their demeanour and character which I can only assume was the product of following the word of God as the men...

    Can you tell me how keeping the Sabbath is loving your neighbour?

    HOMOSEXUALITY REVISITED

    You will have to forgive me but how can I ignore everything you have said when I haven't responded yet to your previous post which ignored everything I said? I haven't dumped any of my points because no response has been made by me. Maybe you have the ability to respond immediately you read...

    HOMOSEXUALITY REVISITED

    Ah! I wish we could relegate all research down to one's own experience. I believe this; I believe that; I experienced this; I experienced that is much simpler than having to read book after book after book and question thousands of people here, there and everywhere and then compile all the data...

    HOMOSEXUALITY REVISITED

    Wrong. if you look at Matthew 19:4 he made his position very clear. Matthew 19:4 And He answered and said to them, Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning "made them male and female", and said, For this cause a man shall leave father and mother and shall cling to his wife, and...
