"Was just skimming over your post concerning Rt Rev El Pavo and his posting concerning women in ministry. I skimmed because most of his references were "Catholic" in nature.

It is interesting he would use RCC sources and resources for his debate. In RCC land, the Priest is the representative of Christ on earth. He is perfected through transubsantiation. Even a pedophile priest can perform the "miracle" of changing the elements of the Lord's Supper literally into the body and blood of the Lord.

Nuns perform the function of being Mary's representative on earth. It is symbolic for the sexual union between G_d and Mary, thus, creating Jesus.

So, Jackals using references to "prove" is case for women in the pulpit by the false godz of Romanism is laughable. Should there be women in the church, being used by G_d, to teach? Yes? However, does the Bible ever teach women having authority over men. We can find a few instances of prophetesses and, even, a female judge(Deborah--Judges 4;5). Even Ruth was used by G_d for the good of the Jewish people.

For Jackals to make his argument, he must then admit the weakness of the men in those ministries. There must be no righteous men found to allow a woman to be pastor of a church. That is a great condemnation against that church and those claiming oversight of those ministries.

Think about it Jack. What does that say about the spiritual state of the "men" in those churches?"
