My question is what about DUSTY WILSON? Dusty is the total package. He youth pastored at the church Tim Hill pastored in VA, pastored successfully himself, been a great YD Director, loves that department, raised lots of YWEA money, took FL up a notch, (Lots of International Teen Talent Winners this year!) and is genuine!
Nathan Hellrung The subject of female preaching/teaching/leading, and head coverings has everything to do with culture.
In the Greco-Roman world a woman’s hair was an object of lust. Due to this, those who wished to remain single shaved their heads. What does hair got to do with preaching the Gospel of the Living GOD, anyway?
it is connected in 1 C 11 is why but I agree – the determining interpretive factor is that this kind of behavior was present in Corinth before Paul ever got there
It has nothing to do with either. However, for some reason the fundamentalist think it does.
I think it’s because of the fundamentalist view that sees Biblical Inspiration as Dictation (i.e. God verbally spoke each word in the Bible), or it’s because they have to high of a view of Plenary Verbal Inspiration (i.e. the Holy Spirit through special revelation guided the writers in the selection of each word). Due to this, they cannot get over the fact that some things in the Bible do not apply to us today.
In the church of Corinth I believe women were asked to keep silent do to the culture concerning the evil. Aphrodite the sex goddess had prostitutes interning into the church. Got to stop it some how
The word guneo can mean “wife” or “woman” – if he was asking the mothers in the children’s area not to interrupt with questions till after the service while minding kids and getting distracted it would make some sense – since other women were prophesying in the service 3 chapters earlier
I too support the opening of all ranks and offices of ministry in the Church of God to women. Like and/or share if you agree and add your name to the list.
Yep, it’s definitely because they hold to a heretical view of Biblical inspiration. Because of this, these Christians miss the more important parts of Scripture, it’s like Jesus said “they will strain out a gnat and swallow a camel,” (ff). We have the lost to save, and these fundamentalist are worried about who can preach and teach. The last time I checked Jesus “ask the Lord of the harvest for harvesters.” Jesus did say what the gender of the harvester had to be. Furthermore, Paul states in Romans that no one can believe unless they hear the gospel. It shouldn’t matter who teachers or preachers, as long as the gospel is being preached, and people are being saved. The Junia Project JUNIAPROJECT.COM
The recent exposure of Rick Joyner’s fake doctoral degree has sparked the old discussion about accrediting all ordained ministers.
Pentecostal denominations in the US are gradually moving to require a mandatory degree prior to ordaining all active ministers. C Peter Wagner describes this as the first sign of a movement going nominal and powerless. Many in the Assemblies of God agree that ordination ought to be testimony of faithfulness and not because of education, credentials, or prestige. What are the feelings in your church organization?
Spot on with this write-up, I seriously think this site needs much more attention. I’ll probably be back again to read through more, thanks for the advice!
Whew, I’m glad ya stopped right air cogalltheway.
Thinking about healing: Philip Wylie; ” says that half the patients that go to see a doctor have a condition that cannot be cured by medicine.” Theirs is a soul sickness; a run in with reality, a bumping up against society that they cannot understand and don’t know how to deal with. At some level they sense that they are not adequate for the world around them and forever caught up in an economic system where they cannot win.
Usually their work demands too much and/or pays too little, expectations of their employers are too high and unreasonable. Even most churches convey to them that they are coming up short. Little wonder that there is so much emotional sickness.
Yet it to this very people to which the pastor can preach and minister in ways that bring understanding and healing.
