WHAT A SHAME! The Media Stations dont have Work, let them be looking for Flaws where there is none. Anyway, it only a pointer to the fact of Divine place of Catholicism in Christendom and in the Entire policies of the World at large.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[According to THE CHURCH and my Mentor, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, "Certain Issues are indubitably undebateable"....Priestly Celibacy and Women Ordination are some of them, but others may....Hence, amidst all pressures and hikes - the Press Pillories, the CHURCH, ie Catholic Church remain unmoved and unshakeable...Period!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@ Not Important: The bible does not contradict itself. Our understand or the lack there of may have us confused. That was a letter written in response to what was happening in that church at that time. Paul was responding to a letter from Timothy as to how to deal with the issues he was facing at that time. I know God is a God of peace and unity. God is not the author of confusion either so when you understand the biblical Hermeneutics you know there are not any contradictions in the word of God.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Several points in the Deborah question - yes Sisera failed to man up. However he WAS instructed by Deborah to go with God's blessing. His failure to obey her instruction did not negate her in any way. The fact remains that God still ordained her a Judge. Is God permitted to use who He will ? If we had always waited for a man to step up where would the church be right now ? If God's first choice will not obey surely He is at liberty to call who He will. I am sure that in many cases his first choice would have been a man. To use Joyce Meyer as an example - her husband is in no way a wimpy man and she would be the first to tell you that in their home he is the leader. Nevertheless she is the one God gave the gift of teaching to. His role as her supporter in the ministry does not negate his role as leader in their home. :roll:]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I think this whole article is about letting women be what God never intended for them to be. Honestly, I wish i could understand 1 tim 2:12 differently so as to make room for women leadership as teacher in the church. My personal opinion about this issue is that we should be talking more about how men should cultivate more humility in leadership so as to allow women to assume their God -given role.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Funny how the writer mentions Deborah, but fails to include what Deborah herself told the king when asked to go along: Deborah said to Barak, “Arise! For this is the day in which the LORD has given Sisera into your hands; behold, the LORD has gone out before you... Judges:4:14, but most revealing is this one: 8 Then Barak said to her, “If you will go with me, then I will go; but if you will not go with me, I will not go.” 9 She said, “I will surely go with you; nevertheless, the honor shall not be yours on the journey that you are about to take, for the Lord will sell Sisera into the hands of a woman.... the king was failing to man up to his responsibilities.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I would ask the same question asked by "Not Important". I do not debate that there have been many foolish over reactions to ligitamate woman doing God's work but it does not answer the biblical question many are debating in Tim. chap. 2. I also find the argument for woman in the "office" of leadership weak. To think that God does not use woman in mighty ways is ubsurd. As mentioned above, a lot of opinions reacting to over reactions mostly due to our "western" culture but never answering the scripture in 1 Tim that most use in their debate. The one I hear most often is the "cultural" one but as mention above, God crossed all cultural bounds and right to His creative order then to Eves deception. His right to do so. If a man is intimidated by woman moving mightily it God's work, that's his problem but if someones conviction from the scripture is such,, there should be honor on both sides and if appropriate, a healthy discussion with scriptural precident a must.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Only one question should be asked as this paper is full of opinions. Does the bible contradict itself? If not, 2 Timothy stands as fact as there is no mention of the context referring to time or conditions. Matter of fact he goes back to mention Genesis and what happened when the woman lead. If you believe it does contradict itself, how do you decide what it true or not? Grace and Peace]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The blind shall lead the blind and both shall fall into a pit. Where in the bible do you find a woman being ordained a priest/bishop? Do you honestly think that there never existed devout and religious women in all the biblical history? If so why were they never ordained? J Lee Grady, thinks a church is human rights organisation. We tell him and others of like mind and repent and that they believe the gospel of Jesus Christ.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Continuing my last comment, a child with a single parent is better than an orphan. I believe that the answer to women as lead pastors comes down to the proper balance of two concepts: the PRIORITY of the spread of the gospel for redemption of the lost with the preservation of ORDER within the church for the benefit of an ongoing healthy family stucture.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Our spiritual gifts and callings do not compel us to act, but they do enable us to act; neither do they determine the correctness of the actions we take. In other words, it is possible to be gifted and annointed but still be wrong in the exercise of our ministry. Both men and women have been misled to think that because they are "anointed" or "gifted" they must be right. Not necessarily. Paul says the spirit of the prophet is subject to the prophet. The Word of God is the best judge of truth and it is also the operations manual for the Church. . The issue of women as Lead Pastors or Senior Pastors will be resolved when we answer the question of who is the head of the home, the man or the woman? This question has nothing to do with giftedness or ability but biblical order. Do we have female, single-parent homes? Sure. But should we promote the exception as the biblical standard for an established community and congregation of believers? I don't think so.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Amen, Strong woman!! I told the same thing to the Pastor that told me that as a woman I couldn't teach. I also believe anyone who stops another person from doing what God has called them to do, will have to answer to God Himself for deterring that person from their chosen path. God has a divine will for everyone. We teach people that they should seek God's will for their life. Why do we then tell them that they can't do God's will when He reveals it to them? I spent years trying to fulfill God's call on my life in ways that met with others approval. Then God showed me that His approval was all that was needed. After all, it is His call, not their call. By the way, my husband backs me 100% and is so excited about what God is doing. He helps me in my ministry. And I am very cautious NOT to put any male leadership in the background. My husband is still the leader in our home. And I always discuss opportunities with him. We are partners in everything.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Thank God for J. Lee Grady and his book. I have read it, and it is based on scripture. I was a Sunday School teacher in a local Southern Baptist church. When our new pastor came, he stopped me from teaching my class because there were men in it. My class did not want me to be taken out of it. As a consolation, I was allowed to start a women's class. Many of the women wanted to come, but were afraid they would upset their male teachers. Others wanted to come, but their husbands didn't want to be in their class alone. There were men who wanted to come to my class, but were not allowed. As a further deterrent, my class was the only one that had to pay for their books.( I furnished them instead.) I was a victim of extreme prejudice against a woman with strong Bible knowledge and a call to teach and preach. I left the church and returned to Church of God Reformation, where I have a wonderful Pastor that has supported God's call on my life. I am now a commissioned minster.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[First there are direct statements in Genesis , saying that woman was taken out of man, man shall rule over woman. And in I Corinthians , Let your women keep silence, as the law says, and I Timothy's "I do not allow a woman to teach." These concepts are backed up by a number of examples throughout Scripture. A feminized church cannot model the marriage of Christ and His own. A feminized church cannot picture the Fatherhood of God. A strong woman in a local church will tend to put male leaders in the background. Many of them will not rise up and take their proper place. In the secular world , for example, much male unemployment can be attributed to too many females in the job markets.]]></description>
