However, what is not witnessed nor directed are women as minsters. To be clear...women are not to be pastors/ministers over a church.
Amen!
Yep, and the reason for this is that the Lord is very fond of symbols and pictures, if you will, that signify the spiritual. The sacrificial lamb, the blood over the doorposts during the Exodus (above, and both sides), the wine and the bread, etc. Ask one or more of the old prophets how graphic and incovenient that could be! Christ is the head of his church (his bride). Thus, male teachers, pastors. Visual picture. Women are encourage to be active in the church and Paul praises a few in high places (rare in his day and time). But as “heads of the flock,” the Bible uses a word picture and wants the male to be head.
In a name: Dorcas.
What Paul specifically said was he “never allowed women to teach men”. I Timothy 2:12
Moore to my knowledge has never tried to claim and ministry over men. If men choose to attend her conferences, it is their choice.
Well put.
Jesus was the model, male and celebate.
Amen.
Is there a place for women in the service of The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints?
Yes. We see SOME examples of that in the wards.
In Mormonism, so much has changed over the decades.
The world has seen BLACKS going from the scum of the earth to actual positions in the church; so Ladies; perhaps YOUR day will come, too.
The Living Prophet® may someday receive a change from GOD (he is the ONLY one authorized; you know) sent from the portals of Heaven (the HIGHEST one; of course) that YOUR staus will get elevated.
(At least you don't have to have a Take-a-number machine to determine which wife will get to sleep with the husband any more.)
Except for you Flds ladies.
Your men KNOW that polygamy is STILL the LAW - found in D&C 132.
