Do you believe we should own slaves?
 
Well, since we are deciding about women preachers maybe we can decide if we can own slaves....

'Servants, be obedient unto your masters.'

I haven't been involved with the discussions you are referring to but the point you appear to be making here is that certain parts of the Bible are outdated?

I am just saying it helps to know the culture of the day the Bible was written...and especially JEWISH CUSTOMS...I enjoy teaching JEWISH customs and history along with just about any history...if I were not a missionary I would have chosen to be a history teacher....

There are laws in especially the O.T. we would never think of obeying and many things even in the NT we understand to be a culture thing...such as greet one another with a holy kiss...I donīt think it would go over to good for me to start kissing the brothers...ha....

It depends, can they be pretty young females? (20-ish is fine) Can they feed me grapes while I lay back on the couch?

If so then sure... I'm in...!

I think some people think women should just stay home and take care of the kids, cook, and clean.

LOL, that is awesome Sister Alvear. Sure does bring the other thread's 45 pages into focus and make its topic seem like a stupid question to be asking in our current society.

Re: Do you believe we should own slaves?
 
Well, I LOVE TO COOK....and wish I could often stay at home but we have church every night so seldom get to stay at home, ladies meetings and prayers meetings several days a week and visits...lol...because keeping my house clean and meals prepared for the family and dozens that just happen by...
