Some wouldn’t vote for Romney because he was a Mormon, others because he was an establishment guy. As a result we got Obama.Now some of you say you will not vote for Trump under any circumstances. Do you who say this think there is a possibility you might change your mind before the general election in November________________
I hope not
If women in the church of God are Esther then I would say that the bishops are either Uncle Mordecai that gave the instruction for her ministering or the King (King Ahasuerus) which granted her petition and set the grounds for her heart’s desire (deliverance and freedom).
Who are the COG women oppressed by? Who keeps them from being bishops
“Oppressed” can only be used if the ones in that setting are being denied something that they should be entitled to.
So is female bishopric biblical? (Without the twisting of Scripture to prove a stance either way)..
If not, then there is no “oppression”.
Charles Page, did you go to the General Assembly thus past month?
You’d have that answer. Lol
no, but I stayed glued to the live feeds
Basically my father did the same thing when I was a child. We didn’t have much money as daddy was a self employed dump truck driver. No work in the cold winters. He gave to the church needs. I wore boys shoes to school in the third grade. He helped start the church but was not a pastor. I never held it against God for always doing without many Christmases. I don’t to this day…
I went through some of those tough times. Somehow those experiences made me Love The Lord and His Church more. On the other hand, at other times I saw many precious COG members make great sacrifice to be sure we were fed and clothed. I love God’s people who have shown me His love!
I am very proud of the lessons I learned being a PK. We moved every 3.5 years, many times very far away from family. At one church we lived in public housing, at another we lived in the church basement… God always provided what we needed and many times He provided for a want as well. It taught me that He is our source and how to pray in times of need. I instill the love of the COG in my children and more than that pray they learn to rely on Him like my family did
Praise God Libby.
Melvin: I think it’s a mixed bag, I used to go swimming with Jerry Goff when we were in our late teens; being the overseers son he had many advantages and went on to achieve his own fame. Others become spoiled because of to much attention. Still others feel that church life has cheated them out of a normal childhood.
