as for the NT being manatized....do you really think that the 27 books contained in the NT are the only and best teachings about Christ and His Church? And don't you think that there were any books writen by women/or about women during this time? wonder why they would not be included?
while we cannot know exactly everything that went on to create the NT...this we do know...a group of men...took a large group of books(way more than 27)...and through debate and dicussion decided on some...and then from that group(more than 27) came the 27 that we now have.
with the natual abilites...i think you misread me....or maybe I miswrote. I said...or meant to say...that God calls those who He has gifted. nowhere did I say that gifting = calling. some are called and some are not....but I believe there are many more who are gifted than are called...and likewise many who simply do(pastor) who are not called or gifted....but thats another thread. 
I didn't realize "motherhood" was a calling....hmmm....i learned something today!! |
I don't have time for all of this right now, but as to the last comment... Not only is it a calling - I think it is a very high calling, a sacred, spiritual appointment of God himself.
