I didn't go and read the website given by icemoon, however I guess
it is common knowledge tat the bible was already written in a
pro-male manner. I believe for some studies people say tat the word
woman appears only once in the whole bible. Hence it is not
difficult for me to believe just by strictly reading, taking the
meaning literally from the bible, the conclusion will arrive tat a
woman cannot be a pastor.
And if the bible says so, then the pastor or pope or whoever
[b]human cannot change tat fact, even if "God" has given
them a 'calling' etc. Why not ? I just give an example. Osama and
Abu Bashir receive a calling from 'God' to start a jihad too, thus
does tat means they r right ? Tis doesn't meant any offence to
muslim, my point is tat if people can start using "calling" as a
reason, then I can do anything under the sun, like murder and rape,
and in the end point the finger to God claiming "I receive a
calling for me to do it". Tat will be taining the name of Him isn't
it ?
Human aren't design like God. They aren't perfect and there will
always be abusers. Thus religiously speaking, people had to follow
strictly to the bible. People can only argue on the interpretation
of the bible, and not about changing the content in the
bible.
Wat ? U feel something is wrong here ? U don't agree with teachings
there ? U don't agree with me ? U don't agree with the website
?
Heh... tell u, the problem is not solely on the reader of the
bible, since we r designed inperfect and understanding of the bible
will remains inpefect. Part of the blame should be on the writer of
the bible itself.
Nuff said... I try to stop being an "anti evangelist" before I got
bombarded. [/b]
Interesting.... v. interesting....... what is anti evangelist?
why? Why? WHY?
So why woman cannot be a paster? must be a pester?
