CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Interesting. In one of your earlier posts you said "Thank you but I'm actually not interpreting them. I believe they mean exactly what they say, I'm not reading into them I am obeying them."
Now you are ignoring the plain meaning of the words "our sister Phoebe, a deacon of the church in Cenchreae" and coming up with reasons why Phoebe wasn't really a deacon.
Apparently you believe that words in Scripture "mean exactly what they say" except when they disagree with your interpretation.
As I have said before, you are entitled to your interpretation of Scripture just as I am entitled to my interpretation of Scripture. However, please do not claim that you are not interpreting Scripture. You are.
BTW, since you dropped the subject, I presume taht you are now admitting that neither priest nor pastor where church offices provided for in the New Testament.
