I detect a problem

Just one????
More like terror cell plants out to destroy something.
The real abomination is having a woman stand at the pulpit and preach as ‘pastor’.
MOST female (unscriptural) “pastors” are lesbians. I’ll stake my reputation on that statement.
"I'm a woman of God sharing my life with another Jesus-following woman. We, like you, are made in God's image. Jesus Loves Me, This I Know. I'm lifting my voice...
No, you are not a woman of God. You are not doing His will, nor following the sayings of Christ who said 'Go, and sin no more'.
Yes, you, and all of us, are made in the image of God - made for eternity. It grieves Him that we are such rebellious sinners.
Our Lord Jesus Christ did indeed come to save sinners, and He loves them that are His. But those that continue to reject Him, and choose to love their sin more than Him -- no, He does not love them. They will be cast out and left wailing and gnashing their teeth knowing that they rejected the Saviour who offered them Salvation.
I'm sure this wailing will be done with "lifted voice"...
Repent and turn while there is time - lost sinner.
“Jesus loves me, this I know...”
As good as it goes, but that is really a shallow child’s song, that is often repeated by the homo-left. The question should be, do YOU love HIM? And how do we know that we love him? We “obey His commandments.”
No, you chose sides, and.....you.......chose.........poorly......"
The New Testament depicts women in some pastoral roles, but I think a line is crossed when women become lead pastors. Churches that allow female pastors seem to go astray in many other directions.
If every church member didn’t immediately walk out, they aren’t Jesus or Bible followers.
I know several who are definitely heterosexual, married to a man, mother of children, but they are usually the dominatrix in the marriage.
As a rule, mentally ill people should have no room at the pulpit.
Even as a woman, I get very uncomfortable with women leading sermons. I like very traditional church settings with hymns, male pastors/elders, etc.

I believe that would be HER interpretation of the gospel.
Just Christians (On Homosexuality & Christian Identity)
The Apostolic Answer
In 1 Corinthians 6, St. Paul gives vital clarification on a subject where there is much foggy thinking among those who ask questions like, "What should the Church's approach to homosexual Christians be?" The apostolic answer is that there is no such thing as a homosexual Christian. There are brethren who struggle with various temptations, to be sure, and may on occasion fall to them before rising again. But believers who resist homosexual lust are not "homosexuals." They are just Christians, as are the rest of us with our own besetting sins.
Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? [Then comes a list of sinners, including "sexual perverts."] And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.
Such were some of you. The apostle is writing to the baptized saints in the church of Corinth who are no longer these things. He does not say they are no longer susceptible to their old sins, nor that these old sins mustn't be dealt with: addressing the problems old sins create is a large part of the epistle's burden. Given this apostolic definition, however, we cannot--we dare not--say there is any such thing as a "gay (or lesbian, etc.) Christian," for the Christian by definition has been cleansed of his homosexuality. He cannot regard himself as a homosexual--or idolater, or thief, or drunkard--nor can the Church affirm him, or the various acts associated with the old vice, as such.
There is no "homosexual voice within the Church," for the homosexual's conversion entails a choice--This, or That--the sin, or the Faith. He cannot have both, nor can the Church in any way accommodate the sin from which he has been cleansed. It is wholly and actively and vehemently against it as a destroyer of the souls it has been called to save. It labors among the saints only in the accomplishment of what has already been done in Christ: cleansing, sanctification, and justification in the Name of the Lord.
Its message to those who, in abandonment of hope, define themselves by some sin, and present themselves as though they, as so defined, should have a place in the Church, is and only can be that of complete rejection. With respect to loving the sinner and hating the sin, which it indeed is called to do, what can it say to those who, in contempt of the saints who have fled their sins, declare their persons to be inseparable from the sin, identifying themselves with it--and then blame the Church for hating them as persons? It can only say to them that all perversion of what it is to be human has been destroyed in and by Christ, who makes those who love him straight and whole after his own image. To some, this is the promise of life; to others, who have bound themselves to that which is to be destroyed, it is the intolerable threat of destruction.
No Satisfaction
What do these latter have to speak to, much less teach or admonish, the Church upon? They have no voice among us. Christian authorities need to stop thinking and writing as though the categories of homosexual and Christian can be joined--as though the Church could tolerate or accommodate, or speak gently of, much less bless or sanctify, anything peculiar to the garment stained by the flesh that those who come to Christ throw off in their baptism.
In that baptism we become penitents, and as such divided from our sins. St. Paul tells us here that no penitent is to be named by, identified by, what he has abjured. Those injured people who have put on Christ have put on, in him, life, hope, healing of their diseases, and resurrection of their bodies in the image and likeness of the one who has saved them.
The Church never can and never will give satisfaction--and the homosexualist knows it, for he knows the words against him are ineradicable--to the declared and impenitent homosexual, the person who, through an act of the vermiculate will, has identified his person with a sin, whether he demands acceptance of his sin through "love," or vindication through identification of his perceived enemies as bigots. Whether he presents himself as an object of love or indignation, what he demands in either case is acceptance not of the person, but of the sin-bound and sin-defined person. He demands the declaration of spiritual authority that there is nothing objectively disordered about this binding of man to sin, and assurance that this monstrous amalgam can indeed enter the kingdom of heaven. This can never happen among Christians until they abandon Christianity, which is at war with every sin, and whose indelible constitution places all perversions of the perfect man at the muzzle of its canons.
She needs to resign immediately and repent of her sin.
God is not mocked. If she is supposed to serve the church, this is absolutely unacceptable.
Edgerton, Ohio? That’s a tiny place. Sure it went over real well there.
