Kinda strange for us as those known as holding the banner of the truth....

Since day one they have had women ministers and pastors. If one were to look back in their directories from years ago, they might find it surprising just how many they had. While there have probably always been ministers in the group that were against such, they have continued to license women.

There is a 1952 directory available to see online. Take a look and note how much smaller the UPC would have been if they had not accepted women into the ministry.

It was the councils Of Rome that took women from The pulpits....not The true church.

So, all of you that are anti-women pastors are really papist at heart.

We will all see in the end if the words of Paul were just baloney or not.

Are you saying something will happen to women ministers in the end?

Men and women alike, for mistranslating any passage

well, i never said that Paul's words were baloney; just poorly interpreted. You (mostly) read exactly one translation of Scripture. Have you ever seen one of those exercises about how some verses may be translated wildly differently from our accepted ones? This seems to make it incumbent on a believer to at least be aware of the alternates, imo...of course, if you signed a pact, or pledge, no doubt this is discouraged?

Well, I am sure you can find a version somewhere in the "minority text" of the 50 or so other versions of the Bible to fit the concept you may have. The possibilities are endless...
