Should women vote in business meetings

[Happy]

Nobody mentioned a building. Do you drink?

After I mentioned I do assemble together with others, (and where) you said;

I thought so.

Then you said;

Hebrews 10:25

not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as you see the Day approaching.

Really? then give a scripture about forsaking assembling together, AS IF, that had anything to do with assembling?

Nobody mentioned a building.

Not true. I clearly mentioned "homes", which any prudent person would recognize as a building.

Then a I ASKED you a question about buildings, called a Church.

Does the difference between a statement and question confuse you?

Do you drink?

Well of course! So did Jesus!

John.4

1. [7] There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.

Additionally I have drank from Jesus' same cup. Perhaps something for you to consider.

Mark.10
[38] But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of?

Neither TCassidy or I would define "church" as being a building. It may refer to a building a church meets in. I use the definition my Baptist Polity professor, Richard Weeks taught:

Church

An organized autonomous band of immersed believers, having New Testament officers, observing New Testament and actively carrying out the Great Commission.​

Church ~
a building used for public Christian worship.

Temple ~
a building devoted to the worship, or regarded as the dwelling place, of a god or gods or other objects of religious reverence.

1Chr.6

1. [10] And Johanan begat Azariah, (he it is that executed the priest's office in the temple that Solomon built in Jerusalem

Matt.24

1. [1] And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.

Neither TCassidy or I would define "church" as being a building.

Scripture itself clearly defines a "Temple" as being a building or buildings.
A building that is constructed for Christian Worship is clearly defined as a "Church".

Church

An organized autonomous band of immersed believers ​

Nothing new or necessary. Jesus Himself defined, His Church, as People WHO... believe;

Matt 16

[16] ... Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God..
[18]....this rock I will build my church


The point was about "assembling".
It is common knowledge, Temples, and Churches are Buildings, for the specific purpose of a PLACE for people to assemble and Learn about God, and Praise and Worship God.

It is also common knowledge, a Temple building or a Church building, is NOT necessary to Learn about God, Praise and Worship God, or assemble with others to learn about God, OR Praise and Worship God.

Apparently YOU know Cassidy's thoughts. That's nice. I don't. I asked him a question in reference to "his thoughts", regarding a commonly known place to assemble, called a Church, as if that "according to him" was the only "acceptable" place to "ASSEMBLE".

Apparently he was incapable of conveying "his thoughts" on the point of where "he thought" it a proper place to assemble.

Since you agreed with Cassidy's thoughts, and he can't answer the question.... How about you expounding?

Is it your view that gathering in a Church building, is the only acceptable place for people to learn about God, Praise God, or Worship God?

If not, then, why would Where I assemble with others, to learn about God, Praise God or Worship God matter, that it would have been something that Cassidy or you would have been thinking about, for him to say, and you to agree, "You both HAVE THOUGHT" about that?

Because since, as you both have agreed, you THOUGHT about that.....Do expound....What about what are "your thoughts"....

Why is Where I gather /assemble with others an issue, that has caused you both, to have "thoughts" about it?

What precisely are those thoughts, about where I gather / assemble with others?

Much backpedaling happening. Hilarious.

If you wanna have women vote at your "church" business meeting at the grocery store or vote at your "church" business meeting on your boat, I guess that's your prerogative!

Talk about hilarious....
you make up nonsense, and then say it is someone else's prerogative to do what YOU have make up for them to do.

Take a look at the title of the thread. Take a look at your definition of church. I nailed it.

A church gathers where ever it decides to gather. That could mean in a meetinghouse, a home, a school, the forest, a riverbank or some other locale. I mention the riverbank as the Russian Evangelical Christian-Baptist Church I attended in Sacramento liked to hold its annual baptismal service on the south bank of the American River. The keywords in the definition I gave for the purpose of this discussion are organized and band.

Uh no, you missed the mark. Assembling was a point between two posters, not you.

You should have known assembling in a private home, does not require a business meeting between the owner and people who have gathered at the home; or boat; or grocery store.

I don't need to take a look at what is the definition of a Church. It has two definitions that I already stated.

What is the OP about? Women voting in business meetings. Now how many church business meetings take place at grocery stores?

And? So what is it your POINT, "assembling" requires "organization" for you to consider it "worthy" ?

Assembling has been discussed.
Organization has been discussed.
No business meeting have been discussed taking place at grocery stores.
Try to pay attention.

In your "CHURCH" where you ASSEMBLE, be it the GROCERY STORE or your BOAT, should women be allowed to vote on church business matters?

I don't have a "CHURCH".

My Lord has a "Church".

I am a member of my "Lords Church".

Others I know are also members of my "Lords Church".

Others I know and I gather together, when and where we decide to worship our Lord together.

And whoo hoo, sometimes we meet unexpectedly in different places and together praise our Lord.

While SOME people meet in buildings called Churches, others don't.

And while SOME people have a concern about Women having a say so (vote) in any business, others don't.

And while SOME people have a concern about Women having a say so (vote) in Church business, others don't.

And SOME people can follow along in the dialogue between posters, and others can't.

Get it...?

Yep, you're going to pontificate about something else and you're not going to answer the question. As per usual. Understood.

Some things should be understood as answered, by the dialogue given you.

 

[TCassidy]

Yes. A church is an "organized assembly of baptized believers."

Seems pretty clear to all the rest of us.

Wow. A church is an "organized assembly of baptized believers".
Guess there is no room in your "church" for the "unbaptized" to come and hear and learn about God and become "baptized".

Pretty sad.

There you go again, moving the goalposts and changing the subject.

An unbaptized, non-member of the local church would not be allowed to vote in its business meeting, that's for sure.

Have you been baptized, Happy?

 

[Squire Robertsson]

Who said that? Of course, there is room for a person you described to attend a meeting of a particular church.

All are welcome, but the topic is voting in a business meeting, and, no, nonmembers would not be allowed to vote.

Pretty sad.

Yes, your lack of honesty is very sad.
