You ladies rock. You guys are okay too.

Your questions and your reasoning; priceless.
But my brain hurts. I’ll have to read them again.
Or maybe not. ; o )

You can teach me anytime. Already learned some stuff.
Ooops, am I in sin? Learning from women?

Let’s see, am I in Church or out of Church? Hmmm?

I’m in a Barns and Nobel. (free wi-fi and soft chairs – praise you Jesus)
Lots of books about Jesus and coffee but no pulpits, pews or pastors.
Plenty of Bibles but no steeple. I pray a lot here, does that count?

Wait a minute, isn’t Jesus the head of the body the Church?
So, I’m a member of the body…
I’m in Christ. I’m in the body. Does that mean I’m in Church?

Church, ekklesia, doesn’t that refer to people,
called out one’s, assembly? Where two or three are gathered?

Does Church, ekklesia, ever refer to a building, an organization
an institution, a business or a corporation with a pastor? Hmmm?

Doggone it! Yes – I am the Church.

God that made the world and all things therein,
seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth,
dwelleth not in temples made with hands.
Acts 17:24

…for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said,
I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and
I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
2Co 6:16

Lets see, God is in me, God is in women. Hmmm?
The same spirit that raised Christ is in me?
The same spirit that raised Christ is in women? Hmmm?

Jesus said, “ the spirit of truth will teach you all truth. Hmmm?

Hey, is their any law against the spirit in you teaching me?

No, No, No, Now you have me doing it. It’s hard to stop.
My brain hurts again.

“complimentarians and egalitarians” sounds like lawyer speak to me.
And you know what Jesus thought about lawyers.
All that gnat and camel stuff… There is got to be another option.
Sounds like a seminary thought them up. That’s not to critical, Is it?

And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold:
them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice;
and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
John 10:16

There shall be, One Fold, One Shepherd, One Voice.
If Not Now, When?

In His Service. By His Grace.
