Huh, and I have to ask, could you clarify "monkeyman" for me? Never heard the term.
I meant to put Monkeyman in quotes.. "Monkeyman" and "Mrs. Monkeyman" are our choir directors.
Sorry about that!
New Wine...
I'm sorry if I offended you. I don't live in the south... it's not a huge issue up here as much as it is down there. (Not saying there are no racists up here.. but the term "colored person" wouldn't offend our song leader, I know him well, we were in Bible College together.
I'll be sure to not use ANY terms when I'm visiting my neighbours to the south, since I'm obviously quite ignorant of what is correct and what is not.
I sense from your post to me that you are more than touchy on this matter. I hope you haven't been personally mistreated because of your race or color.

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
If you choose to have a woman usurp the authority of a man then so be it, but I am not having it! Its against the teachings of the Bible and I wont stand for it. Women preachers may be in Heaven, but there WORKS will be burned!
Remember, to PASTOR is to have AUTHORITY OVER and a woman CANNOT have Biblical Authority over a man. In society, she can be a judge, she can teach men but Biblicaly, she cannot rule or have authority over a man. I'm done with this as this post was not about women preachers.
By the way, look at these disobediant women preachers like Juanita Bynum and Paula White. OH what an example to follow huh??????????????????
OUT OF ORDER!
Yeah, let's ignore people like Vesta Mangun, Nona Freeman, Sis. Alvear, and Sis. Trout, just to name a few.
You will fit right in with several in the UPCI, my friend. Except for the facial hair thing.
You guys crack me up.

almost 40 years ago I walked alone into the village where this church is located and won several hundred people to the Lord from the depths of idol worship...a church was built my my own hands and is still standing today...they did not mind then or now that I am a woman.

I'm tired of reading such drivel, I shall extract myself from the fray.
