Re: Do you consider a fundamentalist, out of touch
I am going to log off and go home to my preacher wife who tells me she will have dinner ready for me when I get there. Woooo hooo. She can preach and cook.

Just the fact that she can put up with you says volumes about her character!

Dan, since your so into the word PREACH... heres a little suggestion
Can you find me ONE SCRIPTURE.. thats all, just one itty bitty scripture where that word is used in conjunction with a woman?
Now, I find 43 references in the NT to PREACHING and each time.. there is either a mans name there or a reference to MEN.... NOT ONCE is there a reference to women...
So if God is sooo for this idea of women preaching why isnt that word PREACH joined to at least ONE WOMAN in Holy Scripture?

the word preach simply means to proclaim. So if we are going to be literalists women can't proclaim to their neighbors, even other women that Jesus is Lord that they need to be saved?
What about teaching? Priscilla and Aquila both taught Apollos the way of the Lord.
I think the reason we don't see women doing things as much is because women were considered inferior submissive child bearers. That was their culture. Women didn't even attend schools. The men went to learn the bible and came home and taught the wives

Re: Do you consider a fundamentalist, out of touch
Before your time on the forum I once told my story...
Before I was married I built several churches and won souls to the Lord....in time I took care of 4 churches and several house meetings...
After I got married I called a preachers meeting and told our brothers that I was no longer the head that my husband was...
As anything it took time for the people to accept the fact that I really meant that...but time has proved that...
If I wanted to I could probably hold any position for our people love me BUT I do not want a position or authority...I am confortable just doing whatever is needed...
Right now I have had to help a lot because Brother Alvear is in the states and our son Arlei that was our co pastor moved to the jungle. We have other brothers that help but are not ready or mature enough for a lot of ministerial load on them...so like tonight I organized the brothers that went to the village churches...they still are in the stage here that they depend much on Brother Alvear. I stayed home and cooked supper and my other boys are also helping out...
I have been out most of the day...visiting...
My greatest joy is seeing them do whatever...but if they stumble I am around to give motherly advice...
I personally do not enjoy speaking in the presence of men ut if the need be I will arise and make up the gap...
Brother Vaughn, I know you do not know me but in the 10 years we have been here you could count on one hand how many times I have sat on the platform... I like to sit on the front bench and worship.
