@B_Christs_Amb He is going to spread strife to his 689k followers which represent numerous churches. I had a local pastor tell me I'm no longer welcome at his church because of Mike Winger's series.

@Geoffrey_Stertz @MikeWingerii Mike says that the Bible is clear what we should do about women pastors. Really? What does the text say we should DO? There is no imperative in 1Ti 2:12. The context is about false teachers. You need to go back to chap...
