The Bible clearly states that a woman should not teach men, which would exclude them from being pastors. Being on an advisory board of directors seems to be okay. Have you ever been pastored by a woman or seen a female pastor preach? What they say may sound good, but the role seems unnatural...

Thank you for the explanation.

I wish you would provide chapter and verse references to scriptures quoted. I do not understand the point of this post.

Apologize = express regret or say you are sorry for doing or saying something that was wrong.

All you want to talk and post about is demons. That is not spiritually healthy.

It is obvious that sinful dreams, of sexual or violent acts, indicate a sinful attitude in the deeper self. Sinful dreams are not consciously generated, but they are produced by the sleeping personality, so they are not totally innocent. The dream itself would be sinful when the waking self...

It is not edifying to ponder and discuss how a person gets demon possessed. It is enough to know that people should avoid the occult. This topic is similar to curiosity about spells, pagan rituals, and satanist practices. Deuteronomy 12:29,30 When the Lord thy God shall cut off the nations...

There are a lot of scams in the field of vanity publishing. They will charge a lot of money, make big promises, and achieve very little for you. Hauling around 20 or 30 copies to sell at churches is better than just telling people your book is available at Amazon. You will sell more when people...

I have never heard anyone say that. I have heard people say, “I’m glad I accepted the gospel message.” But I’ve never heard anyone say, “I’m glad God put a new birth in me, so I could repent and believe the gospel.”

In the Bible, being "lost" means being spiritually separated from God, lacking salvation, and unable to find your way back. Lost is not necessarily limited to souls God once had, then escaped from His grip. Being without Christ, having no hope, being without God in the world is a sure...

Jesus had faith, just like Jesus had love, joy, patience, hope, and other spiritual virtues.

The purpose of the new Earth is to host the New Jerusalem. It is where righteousness will prevail, the nations will be healed, and there will be no more curse on the plants or animals. It is where the servants of the Lord will reign and work. Revelation 22 2 In the midst of the street of it...

Even Jesus did not ask how someone got an evil spirit in them. He asked how long a child had one. But He just commanded them to come out. Notice that none of the epistles of Paul, Peter, James, or John talk about demon possession. It is an unhealthy obssession.

Someone stated that Jesus is God, so, being omnipotent and omniscient, Jesus did not need to have faith. I disagree. Faith is a multifaceted concept centered on complete trust, confidence, or allegiance in someone, something, or a set of beliefs. It extends beyond mere intellectual agreement...
