Answer 1

Answer 2

It depends on the religion I guess. Although it has been said that God did not grant authority to women to preach the gospel. Also homosexuality is a sin according to Him.
Corinthians 14:34: the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says.

Answer 3

I hope this helps :~) This is all based on my research, so I could be wrong. Do you think women should be a representative of a religion? I would like to hear your opinion.

Answer 4

Isn't it usually the men who are pastors? If so, why change it?

Answer 5

Equality my friend. The female race is progressing. *~*

Answer 6

It's not that homosexuality is the sin, its more of the act. You can be lesbian/gay or what ever and not have sinned by simply being that way, its if you lay with the person of the same gender that is considered the sin. (Leviticus 18:22, doesn't say that being attracted to the same gender is wrong, just that engaging in sexual activity with them is) Also, Because the human race is progressing, doesn't necessarily mean that the church also has to progress, it's up to the church, it's members, and those who are leading it.

Answer 7

There's a difference between living under the Law and living within it. Whenever someone's nature is different then the Law and they feel oppressed by following it they are living under the Law, There's no problem following the Law if it's in one's nature. I might be old fashion but what I call salvation is when one's nature is changed to live within the Law. If you want to be secular in nature there are still Laws to live under and some find them hard to follow, they generally end up in prison or in the underground and need salvation.

Answer 8

As for female "preachers" that was fought over in the 19th century resulting with woman having the right to vote in 1920. Established Churches can follow there own conscious but my point is religious organizations are not to be democratic but under the one's they worship. We are still biological and there's differences between male and female in nature and there's several stories in the Bible about the conflict between the two. Just because anyone "preaches" doesn't mean others have to listen in this present world of individual responsibility. Responsibility requires much effort but with it freedom from "preachers" of all kinds.

Answer 9

Ok first of all sorry for answering 13 days later but here we go......

1. Homosexuality is wrong, its a sin and I don't stand for it, I am not against the people, HOWEVER, I AM against their CHOICES.

2. No a woman should not be a preacher of any kind of church, its just weird and wrong.

I do come from a southern baptist church and I am a Christian so that my opinion.

Answer 10

thank you @countrygirl99

Answer 11

As I said preachers of all kinds, I tired of hearing what people are against, I want to hear what their for. Everyone should get their act together and leave the rest to their Lords. If you really follow the Lords's teachings you'll find we all fall a little bit short, but don't use that as a excuse, invalid reason, because as the individual grows with the Lords so does society. To use an Islamic saying "to save one person is to save the world", and the first one to be saved is yourself.

Answer 12

@KenLJW I was not trying to hurt anyone's feelings, that my opinion and that's how I feel and I have a right to my opinion and you have a right to yours.

I believe what I believe and you believe what you believe, I'm not going to shove my beliefs down your throat.

Lets leave it at that, I respect your opinion.

Answer 13

Frankly I have the same belief, it's based on my reading and understanding of scriptures not what I've been programed by others. I also understand scriptures to say to have mercy and in that I have to be willing for others to change, not rammed down their throat. Many in the religious world have lived to long with there head in the sand, its time to look at the world objectively, if you don't your living in a fantasy world. If you don't see errors in others you'll never see your own, the main problem with humans is their biological, animal, and some apparently like it that way. There's Preaching and there's Preaching, generally a person will do what a person will do until there is some form of divine intervention, until then follow your Lords and get your own house in order.

The above site shows that in 1940 the U.S.had less than 5 % with higher education, today its 28.8 % nationwide. This increase has caused the degree value to decrease, due to competition, while costing more. I think it will saturate at about 40 %, corresponding to standard IQ distribution, leaving the rest filling other jobs that must give a livable wage. 10 % of todays populace live on Social Security Disability, SSD, and Supplemental Security Income, SSI, different systems with a tax free income of $12,000 per year. Apparently this is what the Government considers the minimum income for a U.S. citizen to live, which by the way corresponds to about the minimum wage in the U.S.. I think the minimum wage should be increased so a non disabled person should be able to have enough to rear a family and elevate their lives as much as possible. By the way the top 20 % of the populace make over $200,000 per year and there's a mean of $50,000 per year, I don't think they consider the 10 % on disability in this.

Answer 15

I forgot to mention 20 % do not graduate from High School, whether this is due to IQ or economic conditions i do not know, In any case you can see a broadening separation not only in economics but also education. A hundred fifty years ago when the country was mostly agrarian educations was mostly religious and the knowledge needed for farming was minimal and everyone could do it. An interesting political fact is the most voters come out for presidential elections and the percent of eligible voters turnout is less than 50 %, I wonder whose doing the voting and making the decisions in our country.

Answer 16

I believe that women can be pastors and there Are women pastors today. God Loves all his children and i believe that even a gay man or a lesbian should be able to be a representative for a religion and/or leaders.

Answer 17

It's prophesied that at the end times there'll be sons of God, and I believe daughters also. The statement that were all God's children is a little bit of a stretch, it really depends on what you mean by God. According to my understanding God the Father actually teaches us how to live, and it's expounded upon by Christ. If one doesn't wish to live this way how can you consider yourself one of his children. The misconception comes from the fact people think God the Father created existence, which I have a problem with, therefore they must be one of God's children. My experience is one I was forced onto, some not very nice, and I hope others will find a way out of the path's they were set on, but I can't say all.

Answer 18

^ O.o .....

Answer 19

Well people who are forced onto usually have those thoughts or worse in the sense of like not believing at all

Answer 20

im just saying that without God there wouldnt be science at all and no biology and no life but we all think differently :)

Answer 21

You actually have a low expectation of mankind, man can do many things good and bad it's in our nature. But I believe we are to be more than biological, animal, and this is what I think scripture is about. Man's original sin is his origin from the animal kingdom, some prefer to keep it that way others want mankind to progress. As one lives their life they get different perspectives I guess that's why its said wisdom comes with age, but not always.

Answer 22

No i dont Your taking this to an extreme Please let it rest

Answer 23

Extremes are what religions are about, when one goes to college they generally have a major they study and most likely do the rest of their life. The extreme is when the major become more predominate in ones life than their religion, in fact may replace it.
