Excellent. This deserves wide circulation.
Excellent article, throughout the Bible the support is in favor of male pastors. And this is another article that confirms this to me. Many say that because the Bible does not directly condemn woman pastors then women pastors must be ok. We can use the same logic for Sunday worship. There is no Bible verse directly condemning Sunday sacredness either. Does that make it right?
I am concerned for our church, all this talk about unity. As if unity is more important than being a Bible Christian. I have been so proud of being able to say that Adventist are Bible believing Christians. What do I do? Where do I go if I can no longer say this with conviction. I am afraid for our church. Unity is not the most important thing.
I read Mark Finley’s five steps for church unity. He said
“Whatever your viewpoint is on the ordination of women, whether you are convicted on one side of the question or the other, there comes a point when you do not tear the body of Christ apart,”
“There comes a point where you say, ‘We will accept the decision of the corporate body, namely the General Conference session. And whatever my personal view is on that, no matter how I believe I am right, I have come to the conclusion that I will accept as God’s will whatever the session votes and move on with our mission.”
I must respectively disagree. What if the issue of gay marriage and gay pastors comes knocking at our doors? Which we should not be so naive to think that it never will. What if the world church approves gay marriage and pastors? This is just a what if scenario. Do we just go along with it and believe it to be God’s will just because the world church says it’s ok now?
