Yes, that is what I think the pro women preacher crowd does, string some emotional stories together and say now does the Bible condemn me for doing this? Their emotional stories doesn't change the good Book!

The Scripture Itself, taken as a whole, is a blueprint for change; you cannot read
most of the OT and expect it to apply directly to life today; we are in a different dispensation at the very least--most of us, anyway

--and in a time of Grace now. Does this mean God changed? Of course not. It is us who must needs change. I think you know perfectly well what spirit I'm coming from, but would prefer to cut your nose off rather than agree with anyone with a different pov. Now, that is your perfect right, and I can understand and even respect attempts to defend Scripture, which i have no intention of trying to invalidate.
However, you make the perfect the enemy of the good, perhaps, when you imagine that you can counsel another, not living in your shoes, better than the Holy Spirit--and then see fit to condemn them out of hand. I notice you have thus far ignored many pertinent examples, that might help 'prove' or disprove your case, and I don't expect that when I run across some nifty little legal bind for you that i will get any more attention.
