@JohnAnders44464 @ortrails @goteamcarr That’s a reasonable question to ask. However, we have scant evidence for any specifically named elders. Peter calls himself a “fellow elder” in 1 Pet 5:1 and John refers to himself as “the elder” in 2 John and...

@redeemed_zoomer I’m glad you don’t see it as heresy, as many do. I think you would benefit from revisiting the hard passages on women in the New Testament such as 1 Tim 2:11-15. In this letter, Paul leaves Timothy to stop false teachers. He ident...
