God bless you and please pray for me and my family.
Sister, I'm more focused on praying for your health. I wish for you to be healthy and well.

Why did Jesus not chose a teen as one of his apostles?

Nope, God is not into sending young people into the ministry.

can you imagen a 12 year old preacher counseling a married couple in the church?
Amen

I would like to see some scriptures that authorize women to be called as preachers, but unfortunately no one has ever shown me a scripture that settles the matter.

If someone can conclusively show a scriptural basis for women and children in the New Testament ministry, I am quite willing to accept it, but until then I can not go beyond what the word of God speaks. Maybe they can be preachers, and I am wrong, but I would like to see some positive biblical statement that women are allowed as pastors of a church.

Can God use the work of people who are not in his complete perfect will? of course he can, he used plenty of people who were outside of the Jewish covenant.

God used Pharaoh king of Egypt, God used Cyrus a pagan king and he used many other people outsiders, the scriptures show plenty of examples, but the fact that God used those people does not mean that those people were included in his covenant.
Very good

When the clear teachings of the Apostle Paul stand in the way grab something from the OT?

Re: cute or dangerous

Thanks for prayers for my health....I know it is only the mercy of the Lord...two doctors told me at my age it is a miracle I am alive. As most know I do heave a heart problem and this attacked very strong my heart...I know it is the prayers of the saints that has touched God.

I am nothing...and even though I do believe in women preachers I have never claimed to be one...and by all means never ordained...lol...I am only a missionary ....whatever that may mean....

Right now I work in the office sending out hundreds of Bible studies both to our people and people of other churches that request Bible studies...

Next Saturday Pastor Michael asked me to take over the street children for a few months until he can get someone to take over that responsibility as those that were taking care of it are moving away.

I love working with children...just keep me in your prayers. It can be VERY dangerous but only if you ask questions or happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time....

They all call me grandmother and watch out for me....I will get a few to help me and we will take food to them, make soup for them and hot meals when we have the funds. I have been collecting clothes for them. Saturday have 3 sacks of clothes and 3 sacks of food to give out besides the sandwiches we will make for them... If you are on my facebook you notice I am sure that I always ask for help for them...

Estimates of street children in numbers in Brazil have ranged from 7 to
17 million...And that is besides those that live in shantytowns....hunger is on every hand.

However this is my life....and I love doing what I do....Thanks once again for your prayers.

Even the ones that I recall out of bible college that where tabbed as "likely to succeed" for the most part aren't anywhere near apostolic churches anymore.

Sad, how we make judgements and call individuals by our own standards who were never called by God's.

Re: cute or dangerous

Just heard that one of the UPCI youth camps had a 12 year old "preacher".
Sigh...
