@JoanBandy@Ed_In_America Where do you live that clergy are required to have “pastor” printed on a card? Doesn’t make sense b/c not all denominations (let alone religions) use that term.
@prieurdp Maybe you don’t realize but for large vehicles, backing in is much more maneuverable because the pivoting wheel go into the spot last and the back axle is farther into the footprint of the vehicle.
Backing in is faster, safer and easier than multiple attempts pulling in.
@Cyra2009@prieurdp Maybe you don’t realize but for large vehicles backing in is much more maneuverable because the pivoting wheel go into the spot last and the back wheels are usually placed farther into the footprint of the vehicle.

@Ihateudot@MichelleDLesley@IMB_SBC No, proclaiming the resurrected Christ is not being a missionary. Evangelism is something we’ve all been called to. It’s also not being a pastor.
@ZillaDilla@WWUTTcom I don’t know what church you visited in 1978 but no SBC church has ever taught that Christ’s death was anything but a complete and physical death of his body. You speak of that which you do not know.
@SteveSkojec Certainty and curiosity are not antithetical. Curiosity can serve to increase certainty, or reshape it. Certainty in the right things is very good.
@cmmcg00@coconservative7 It seems to me that “authoritative” is determined by the intent of the preacher regardless of the way it is ultimately received by the hearer.
@johnfrr54@coconservative7 I am aware of multiple examples of women serving the church in various gifts and roles, including hosting, financial support, public prayer and prophesying. I am unaware of any clear examples of women performing specifically pastoral duties. Can you show me what I’m missing?
Hard to believe a pastor and pollster would use phrase “literally true” in a poll. Meaning “fully true” or “Contains no symbolism?” Take a single hermeneutics class and you’d say “not literally true.” And so would
unbelievers. It lumps extreme opposites into the same group.
Huge majorities of evangelicals support women preaching on Sunday morning from behind the pulpit.
Support among evangelicals who believe the Bible is literally true and attend church multiples a week: 76%.
It's honestly hard to find demographic groups who aren't >60% in favor
@ryanburge The phrase “literally true” was used in the survey? If so, this was a terrible poll. Absolutely zero theologians on the left or the right would say the Bible is “literally” true, and neither would any moderately mature believer who knows that the Bible is full of symbolism.
