I am still officially a member of the Evangelical Covenant Church, even though there is not one close enough to me now where I live; it was my church in the state I grew up in. It is a wonderful denomination, When I moved away, their main tenet was, “What does the Bible say?”

No they’re not! Did you not read it? They threw that whole congregation out.

Homosexuality is a sin. As with all sins, repentance is necessary. Accepting homosexuality has something pleasing to God only leads the homosexual’s damnation.

Not homosexual's damnation is not the only damnation.

You are what you tolerate.

I had someone try to tell me because Israel had a female Judge, that female pastors are ok.

In the Holy Orthodox Church we commemorate St. Thekla and St. Helen (mother of the Emperor Constantine the Great as "equal to the Apostles" but we do NOT have female clergy!!!

Rome heads a false church. They will not. They will eventually just join up with Islam.

I think God is most mercifully telling women ... “You have enough on your plate. You don’t have to pastor the church AND raise your family AND help your husband AND take care of your elderly parents AND do all your church lady stuff [take meals to shut-ins, teach Bible School, help with funeral dinners ...]” What a relief!

Problem is the response to that question always depends on who’s answering it.

Amazing sometimes the lengths people go to to subvert the NT.

Very true. Females aren’t to be pastors, it’s not biblical at all.

That’s not to say they don’t have great roles within a church. They make excellent Sunday School teachers etc.

There is a role for women in the church...no doubt. But it’s not at the leadership level.
