@AttorneyBrand The distribution is for the mutual benefit of all, not to have a hierarchy of some over others. The more pastors the church produces the more likely it is to multiply and spread out…for

@JamesEwen0407 Pastoring is a function though we use it for those in full time ministry who are acting as overseers. Pastor, elder, bishop/overseer can all be used interchangeably.

@chris_z_123 @ryancduff "It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, ***to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up*** until we...

The job of a pastor is to do such a good job leading so as to no longer be neede

@TheMuppetPastor illah is the generic word for “god”; Allah is the God of Islam.

@avyargo @neecygrace @MikeWingerii You really need me to answer them? Ok. There's no woman called "pastor" in the Bible. Neither is there any man called "pastor." What are you trying to prove? There's no Biblical book which claims to be written by ...

@avyargo @neecygrace @MikeWingerii Ok then, please show me who was explicitly called an elder? I'll help you: Peter and John are the only two and they self identify as elders. So out of 2 who self-identify you claim we don't have a woman mentioned as...

@avyargo @neecygrace @MikeWingerii Show me a man explicitly called "pastor" in the Bible. Who wrote Ruth? Esther? Hebrews? How do you know a woman wasn't involved in writing scripture other than assuming so? If a woman identified herself as the auth...

I find this statement from @MikeWingerii revealing. When someone says a woman cannot be a man I think of immutable differences not eldership. How do comps see the command for both to rule and women made in God’s image as limiting on women from autho...

@slow_down_Jess I have a local pastor who says I am semi-pelagian but he still sees me as a brother in Christ. He just won’t allow me to ever be in leadership…like not even in 20 years kind of thing. He’s a pretty strong Calvinist, so I don’t think t...

@Wbtesq @MikeWingerii No, I’m not joking. And no, not all Christian men think that women should not be allowed to teach or pastor if they have the gifting and character qualifications. And definitely not all Christians think it is a sin for a female ...

I don’t always agree with Stanley, and I certainly think there are many who feel that the Bible requires male-only pastors (so I don’t think that his framing of ‘politics over mission’ is accurate), but the problem is about dividing over debatable ma...

It’s because I believe the Bible has no contradictions that I am an egalitarian

@Tibbetburritoo @harduppp @RevKimWChafee @TxPlainZoomer @LaMonteMom @IAmNOTALao @WomnOfValor Male and female are different. Not one is arguing that they are the same. But this difference has nothing to do with salvation (it never did) nor with the ab...

@UrMomChoseLife @smashbaals You write “Paul clearly states women aren’t to teach the Bible or be elders” First, Paul wrote “a woman” and in the context of the letter, it had to do with teaching heresy, not teaching the truth of the Bible. And Paul n...

Brian thinks the elders should be called if his wife “rebels against her husband

@MarkGrote In 1Ti 2:12, the young and single Timothy is going to need to intervene in between a husband and wife (the wife is teaching heresy and the husband, likely an elder, is silent). To assist Timothy, he gives him his apostolic authority to hel...

@ReformaBro @JoInAthensGa @smugbuster88 @BenZeisloft Who is saying “did God really say?” Let me ask you this: was Paul disqualifying himself in 1Ti 3:1-13? He said “husband” and referring to managing one’s home with multiple believing children. Paul ...

@slow_down_Jess @cjohnsonn0311 @_AndrewHale In Tit 2:3-5, what in particular suggests to you that the older women are not to be teachers of men, pastors or elders? Does Paul say that they must ONLY teach younger wives? The point about them working at...

@Flyoverland22 1Co 14:34-35, 1Co 11:1-16, 1Ti 2:11-15,3:1-13, etc all have reasonable explanations showing how these are not forbidding women or enforcing gender hierarchy or gender roles in church leadership. This is certainly not an issue where one...

@JamesGaius @Whatsinaname41 In the Bible, no one specifically—not even a male⎯is identified as a pastor. Only two are explicitly called an elder and they are self identified—Peter and John. What does it matter what the church did after the NT? Are ...

The following comment is so over the top! If a woman being a pastor is grasping for what even Jesus didn't go after, then what are all the men who call themselves pastors doing??🤔 He thinks that we are to model one way submission, yet the Trinity i...
