Then I would argue the obvious… the modern view of “deacon” is not the biblical view and therefore an invalid view. All the roles you described are biblical roles for elders. Peace to you

The 1 Timothy passage says “likewise the women” which is wrongly translated as wives of the deacons. Women can be, have been deacons throughout church history. Deacons are servants with no biblical authority over men, unlike the pastor/elders. The statement is fine as written. Peace to you

My understanding is that Ninja we’re assassins that attacked from the shadows or used poisoned, and didn’t really look for direct combat, though they were trained. Am I wrong about that? Peace to you

As part of the Apostle Paul’s list of what is of “first importance”… The eye witness account of more than 500 people who saw Jesus alive after watching/knowing He had been dead and buried. It was based on the testimony of many of these disciples the early church grew with the power of God Holy...
