sounds like what abortionists say

Not at all. Just that last time people ignored book chapter and verse and believed what their tradiotion taught them and not what the bible taught. So no sense beating ones head into the wall trying to get them to see fact as facts.

What it boils down to is ones persoanl opinions because everyone reads only what they want to on subjects like this.

What is your personal opinion?

Let me ask this question for those who believe women shouldn't be pastors ... if a Christian were to attend a church where the pastor was a women, or that a Christian had a women as their spiritual leader, do you think they would be saved, make it to Heaven?

Yes.


Just curious....What role do you believe that a pastor plays in your personal salvation?

Only 2 % of all salvations take place in the church walls. The church's primary job is to train and equip the sainits for the work of ministry not to be the avenue of salvation. That would be more of the office of the evangelist. See Ephesians for more detail

well, that is sort of my point ... what is the big deal in the grand scheme of things if a lady is a pastor and is able to help others come closer to God?

1 Timothy 2
11A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. 12I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent. 13For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.
