A year of so ago there was a discussion on this Forum about language of Christians in and out of the pulpit.All us old folk can remember queer went from a common word to a nasty slang.Later a good word GAY then became a nicer word to replace it, but meant the same.I stated then that within 20 years the nasty f-word would be cleaned up and used in the pulpit as it was by the infamous Jim Jones in his sermons.I grew up with a game called ‘Bean Bag Toss’, you might be familiar with it. I was surprised to read in our church bulletin today a request, Anyone having a Cornhole game to loan for our game day contact……cxsfs.All the bars around here have the game outside. They have weekly Corn Hole competitions.I know you know the game, I also know you know how the word was used if you are old enough, in days gone by.It was a word that would have made ‘Gosh’ or ‘Shucks’ punishment pale, if my parents heard it. It would have been like me using the ‘F-word’.I know it is said in passing by most folk now without a thought, but I still hear it as that ‘nasty’ word. I know it ain’t, but tough teaching in my youth cannot forget it. I am not hung up on language, but reading that brought back the thread of ‘Christian cussing’. ________________Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/
David Lewayne Porter, go back the original Koine Greek and you will find that men and women can minister openly along side one another, but with not without boundaries in place. You should may maybe look into a Christian counselor online or a therapist who is a Christian of the same creed as you. I’m a man and I cannot allow other males to criticize our female clergy. I love your zeal however.

I love you, my brother, David. At any rate, I need clarity on your belief system pertaining to women and ministry. 🙂
Your other point on some of us being transsexual or transgender was kind of thought provoking. There’s a great movement by evangelicals and other similarly minded Protestants and Roman Catholics who do not approve of same-sex marriage or LGBT political rhetoric.
