I know the fear of being alone in villages and bandits pulling guns on me and dope lords telling me to leave...yet I did not leave...I know the fear of the police more times than one begging me not to go to certain villages as they feared for my life...
I know the fear of looking evil devil worshippers in the eyes knowing they could and would rape me if the angel of the Lord did not stand between us...

My dear friend all your greek and whatever will never outspeak the life and death of the first men and women that went everywhere preaching the word of God..acts 8:3,4

Read about the ladies that were tortured and pulled apart joint by joint...

When Jesus said you shall be my witnesses he was really saying you shall be my martyrs...

Maybe you should read about the women in the arenas of Rome and the saints of Ceasar's household...

Sister, your testimony is great. No one is challenging that. All that's being asked here is for the scriptures that make allowance for a woman to be an elder in Jesus' New Covenant Church. No one has said that women cannot be a witness. What is asked for is the scriptrures that God has given us that allows for such a thing. We have them for men, but no one has listed any for women. Can you please list any?

God bless you!
