@MaryMamuzich @Olamide @bethany i don't disagree with you there Mary

@MaryMamuzich @Olamide @bethany the devil loves us getting distracted...

@Olamide @bethany @MaryMamuzich

There's ministry and there's ministers, although lead elder would be closer to the biblical position

I'm with Bethany there - on the matter of the word used

But I take the literal biblical view on the idea of ministers and preachers

At secondary school I forced myself to think that women could be ministers. But the more I read scripture, and I've met many women vicars over the years, the more I believe that what scripture teaches is what we're supposed to go with

Any argument for women to be preachers/ministers that I've read is always so very complicated and long: I get lost trying to understand the argument of the person writing it

It isn't a popular view I'm sure, but while I'm deeply passionate about ministry being something we should all do, I also believe God set aside certain people for certain functions

If we place value on those functions we'll easily get into arguments.

@Olamide @bethany @MaryMamuzich that makes me sad...

@tanjaostman I've always been vehemently apposed to the EU...now more than ever!

@tanjaostman 😞 it's a third world war started by Germany again...this time because of experimental drugs. But the same end result - governments that forget they are to serve the people who elected them, totalitarianism, violence, fear and death (and a church that will grow exponentially throughout it)

@MaryMamuzich i'll bet she was!!!!!

@sinbach 🤣

As charcoal is to burning coals, and wood to fire, So is a contentious man to kindle strife.
Proverbs 26:21 NKJV

It is better to dwell in a corner of a housetop, Than in a house shared with a contentious woman.
Proverbs 25:24 NKJV

Contentious people sadly start arguments. Social media reinforces their position, because it is in black and white

Doesn't make them right, though 😔

And we've met far too many over the years...we've learned to follow the prompting of the Holy Spirit, say something, perhaps, but you can only say so much...

@tanjaostman I don't see this as likely at all, to be honest

Especially, not in England.

I hope I'm not wrong, but it doesn't very sound very British. And it sounds even less like something the Conservative government would do, or would allow

A Labour government? Wouldn't see it as so unlikely, but just not the Tory Party who hold the majority in the Parliament at present

Also, people are becoming increasingly hostile to additional vaccines over here - the opposite of the statement of the article

That's in social media though, albeit very strongly from what I read - which j wasn't seeing 6 or 12 months ago

Just my thoughts on the article...

@tymektt @Will @bethany @Olamide @Jo_PrayerN_actionCenter @sinbach @MaryMamuzich
