    Women ordained in the Baptist Church

    Women ordained in the Baptist Church

    Thanks for your clarification. Also, where do you see the word or interpretation of "faithful" in that text or the implication that that portion was option. If you make anything in that section optional then you may be at risk of making the strictly male portion optional.

    Women ordained in the Baptist Church

    I see people keep throwing I Tim 3. So tell me is this true about that chapter: 1) Must be a man 2) Must be married w/ children (never divorced, separated or have problem kids) Which means some disqualifiers for being ordained are: 1) You're a female 2) You're a man that has never been...

    Questions/Concerns regarding Christian Singles Ministries

    Thank you all for your help. The conference went well and the Singles Ministry is going to continue to be blessed. My next area to approach is ownership. The Singles need to take ownership of the Singles Ministry. It's for them and by them. Anyway, thanks for your comments.

    I believe many years ago this (men are visual) would have been true and exclusively towards men. However, I believe that both parties are culprits of the visual form. Not all women see strictly the heart of a man.

    Suicide On The Rise

    I believe the commandment of "Thou shalt not kill" should be a good scripture to use. It doesn't say "Thou shalt not kill someone else". It simply states that thou shalt not kill.

    Sparks are not love. They show affection for someone but not love for someone.

    Newly weds and couples do this, and it is very annoying

    Musician4Jesus, Please forgive me if I'm speaking out of turn (because I don't know you) but the problem seems to be within. Your statement in post #12 seems to display traits of jealousy and envy. Let's just say, in order to get to the root of the problem, that your friend really is in the...

    Newly weds and couples do this, and it is very annoying
