A woman's faith

[FredVB]

God spoke specific things for specific settings. None of it would contradict that God cares for all who are of God's creation, and values them all. There are opportunities meant for all for capabilities they are given.

The thing here is that the sacrament of the Holy Orders was instituted by the Roman Catholic church based on the teachings of Jesus Christ. Since Jesus did not choose women as apostles (although he had various female disciples), the holy Roman Catholic church chose to follow his example and ordain only men as priests. That said, women do certainly have their role in the Church in various leadership positions.

In a way, nature gave different attributes to the sexes. Only men can be priests alright, but only women can be mothers. Should men complain that they were not given a fair chance to play the most prestigious role a human has ever played in God's divine plan - i.e. that of being Jesus's mother?

1) "The thing here is that the sacrament of the Holy Orders was instituted by the Roman Catholic church" but it's not scriptural. Sola scriptura.

2) "the most prestigious role a human has ever played in God's divine plan - i.e. that of being Jesus's mother" is just more RC dogma. The Bible doesn't say that anywhere. Sola scriptura. The most prestigious role a human has ever played in God's divine plan was Jesus' sacrifice that removed the penalty for sin from all humanity.

When and where did the Catholic Church start? Christianity is following Jesus the Son of God, Christ. Faith in him, to come to God in restoration for relationship, which there is with repentance and turning from sin, comes ahead of anything, and does not depend on church, any church. Where believers gather, for sharing among each other with prayer and worshipping together, is very valuable, but still it does not contribute to getting saved which comes to start with, when any respond to God when God opens the truth to them. And there is need for the Bible as knowing what Jesus did and what he does and what Jesus said is most important to believers, with the will of God shown for us. Women are not separate from any others in that or in what things they are called to do, from that.

Great post! A MUST READ for everyone!

Where in the bible does is say that the N.T. has 27 books, where does it give the list of the books, how was this established, looks like not everything is sola scriptura, now is it?

The Bible shows us what things testify to writing being the revelation from God. There are 27 books of the new testament of the Bible that show what testifies of that, while other writing does not. This is not argument for sola scriptura, but writing in the Bible should be recognized as having priority for those of us who are believers.

You do not seem to understand that you would not have the N.T. if it were not for the Church deciding what the contents should be.
