Do you have a problem with a woman preaching the word of God?

Not at all. I used to feel wierd about it, but then I met one of my pastors who is a woman. She's also a close personal friend of mine and she inspires me alot. As it is I do teach, but I would love to one day preach God's word. It would be awesome!

I agree. very nasty. the Bible says one woman to each man, and vise versa. this is paraphased, of course.

Hrmm.... guess it's time to pack up my stuff and head out for Hell.  Ah well.  The funny thing about this (and I don't mean comedy funny, but things that make you go hmmm funny) is taht if instead of having a different sexual orientation we had a different colored skin, we could take him to court over it.  Like saying God hates Blacks/Indians/Chinese/middle eastern/White or whatever.  People who feel the need to spew hate in the name of whichever deity they choose to put their faith in are working of the base fact that they feel they need to back themselves up with something big and unquestionable because they know that without it, their arguement lacks not only merit, but the strentgh to stand up to a good blow (pun intended)  For those of you who like to preach like that, check out the following from an old e-mail:\n\n"Subject: The Bible and its teachings\n\nThank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from you, and I try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other specific Biblical laws and how to follow them.\n\na) When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord (Lev. 1:9). The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?\n\nb) I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?\n\nc) I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanness (Lev.15:19-24). The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense. If I come into contact with a woman who is menstruating and she doesn't tell me until afterwards, must I kill her immediately or can I just beat her?\n\nd) Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?\n\ne) I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself? Also, is Sabbath on Saturday as Seventh Day Adventists (Christians, like us...or are they?) or is it on Sunday as Baptists and some other faiths agree? I am beset by not knowing who to kill and when to kill them...please clarify this for me.\n\nf) A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination (Lev. 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality (Lev. 18:22). I don't agree. I'm also confused about how homosexuality can be an abomination when Jonathan and David were married in the Bible (1 Samuel 18:1, 3 - 4). Here, I'll quote it - "And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul. And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even to his sword and to his bow and to his girdle." and also Ruth's relationship with Naomi is suspect, (Ruth 1:16-17) "And Ruth said to Naomi, Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God: Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the Lord do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part three and me." Can you settle this?\n\ng) Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?\n\nh) Most of my male friends get their

I wouldn't care. I think Jesus wasn't all he's cracked up to be anyway. I don't live my life by that book, regardless. I hate all the anti-female messages in it. As I grew older, I realized that Christianity was created as a way to control the people after the fall of the Roman Empire. I love how hateful people are like dagger and how quick they are to call names (usually the "diehard" Christians, ironically). I am not anti-God. I strongly believe in a supreme being, but I am anti-religion. I just think people got some of the details wrong along the way, that's all.

thats messed up, i cant stand christians for that exact reason, always determined to preach to those who dont want it or need it. christians think everyone ''needs'' to listen to it, and that god tells them to shove it down unwanted throats, ex stripper preachers is wrong and wierd, what happens to the guys when their show has to go to the nuns?

I would not have a problem with that.  What the prophet taught and what Islam is today is a different as night and day.  The prophet was the first leader to advocate woman's right, go so far as to allow them to inherit property from their deceased husbands, however, in today's Muslim world a woman is treated as property with very little in the way of right, either spiritually or legally.\n\nThis is just one example, there are many others if you care to look.

It depends on the attitude of the person I'm speaking to.  As long as they're not trying to convert me I'm open minded but as soon as someone tries to hand me a copy of watchtower or asks me to consider taking jesus into my heart after waking me up at 8am I get rather defensive.

Not fussed to be honest. I think many religious leaders such as Bishops and cardinals would have a mojor problem though as the whole power leanings of the Church are towards men rather than women.

I couldn't agree more.  I'm getting tired of all of the sermons ans scriptures made to look like questions.  It's completely ridiculous.  There are some good Christian people here who don't do those things.  They're usually the first ones to speak up when the bible pushers start too.  These people give the entire faith a bad name.\n\nOh, and don't even get me started on the ones who post scripture and sermons in all caps.  \n\nOne more of my pet peeves, those who answer questions about other religions with "Find Jesus", "I'll pray for you" or "You worship Satan."  Give me a freaking break already!   Do they honestly think they're helping their faith by acting like this?

No, we do not.  Although that's what most religions think.  We appear to do so because we venerate her, She being the Mother of Christ.  And in doing so, we are criticized.......................................

No, she is just being retarded.\nIn fact it sounds like she is using her religion as an excuse not to go because maybe she just doesn't like her brother.\nShe needs to be disfellowshiped and you Witness know what I mean.

Oh some people make me so mad. I live in southern Alabama and religion is thrown in my face every day, and I know that I am not a perfect person. I have faults just like EVERYBODY else. But what right does the FAT preacher have to preach to me or my family that we are so WRONG when GLUTTONY is VERY much a SIN. GREED is a SIN too as the FAT preacher drives his NEW car (cause he's too fat to walk very far) and talk on his NEW cell phone and preaches to us that we are so wrong..... OOH I get so worked up on some religious things. I need to quit now or I will p*ssed about this all day long.

Ellen G. White is NOT a prophet nor does she claim to be.  She is a messenger of GOD.  I am SDA and believe in her writings.  Her writings, everything that I have read thus far, when compared to the Bible are right on.  She has not diverted from the Holy Bible so I find her writing acceptable.\n\nGod Bless.

No and yes ...\n-\nNo ... for she should be very busy entertaining her disciples and less preaching were done.\n-\nYes for lots of men shall be coming to her preaching to speculate some good aroma and belly dancing.
