As a pastor I do not openly, publically or privately rebuke anyone. Not even the devil. Not even the ark angel would bring a railing accusation againt Satan, but said "the Lord rebuke thee" contending for the body of Moses. Why? Because because Satan is the accuser of the brethren. I would seriously ask you reconsider how you treat the flock.

Just because that's they way you were taught, doesn't make it right. By publically humiliating people you are offending their spirit, the spirit of Christ that dwells in them.

No offense, but I don't give a flyin' fajita what you think I should or should not do in the church.

As a pastor, there are times when public rebuke is an absolute necessity. Especially when young, purposefully-unemployed men want to dictate the direction of the church PUBLICLY in business meetings or planning sessions.

I will tell them to keep silent because they are IN SIN!!!!! So, you see, there is a difference in our understanding here. You apparently think lazy, selfish, abusers should have a voice in the church.

I don't.

What we need are some real men who know how to treat a woman. Maybe then these women wouldn't need to fill positions they were never meant to fill. Some of these women got raw deals.
