Not at all; I in fact clearly stated that above "as long as you (the
woman) are teaching the women"
And am I "so polarized" about the Bible?  You bet I am.   What better is
there to be polarized about?  Is there a stronger foundation anywhere
else?

>What about a mother teaching a son? Is that not meant to be either? 

That has nothing to do with Preaching, though, does it?

>You extreme view seems to say so. 

My "extreme" view is the BIBLICAL view.  This notion of women Preachers
and Pastors is the latest whim of the masses.  It is not the Biblical
stand.

Where have I "slammed" anyone here, Brother, much less "every woman
here"?  Specifically, what post did I slam women?  My post has been to
attack the proposed doctrine of women preachers and women pastors, not
women.

I have went out of my way to make sure that I am not calling names
("slamming").  However, if you perceive my strong stand for the Bible
against the current fad of feminism that is encroaching on Pentecostalism
as "slamming", I cannot help that.  I am stating the recognized Doctrine
that has stood with the Church since the Apostles' time, nothing more,
nothing less.  

And I appreciate differing viewpoints.  It allows us to grow; to discover
where we truly stand on various issues.

I will plainly say to every woman reading this list that I have nothing
personal against any of them, nor do I seek to personally insult any of
them.  If there is any perception of "slamming" in my posts, I apologize
for that appearance.

But in the same breath I will say that the Will of God does not * EVER *
contradict the Word of God and you cannot have one without the other,
just as you cannot violate the one without violating the other.

Think about it.

No, scratch that.   PRAY about it.

And someone here, if they disagree with me, tell me when you can violate
the Word of God and still be in His Will...

You know me; the "message generator"... <G>
