@Andwhit1249 @onlymyembers @brianaxelm Wow, now it's the unforgivable sin!? Incredible. All without a single command against female pastors.

@mikeoffthemic @William34772026 @MikeWingerii That's cute. Tell me whether your pastor in your church is Jewish or not...cause all 12 disciples were Jewish males. So who wrote Ruth? Esther? Hebrews? Do you know? Why don't we know who wrote Hebrews? ...

@zacharydparks @ReformedCaio @MikeWingerii Wait…so as a pastor in Calvary Chapel he was egalitarian?

@slow_down_Jess @MikeWingerii You have to side with the word of God? I have news for you, so do I. I guess you've now heard only one side, Mike's side, right? There is no prohibition on female pastors/elders/overseers. That is not the intent by Paul...
