There is potato salad, which is cold. And, there is German potato salad, which is hot.

If carried out by the state, yes. My precise objection.

@Joseph_Spurgeon The Word is Christ, not the words on papyrus and paper — and Christ, as far as anyone knows, never said anything about it.

If you think it’s only about who people sleep with, get your mind out of the gutter.

[Coleton Furlow @coletonfurlow]

It’s wild that society thinks we need an entire month + over 40 holidays dedicated to telling everyone who you sleep with.

And then has the audacity to tell Christians to keep their faith private.

Hypocrisy at its finest.

Why Cornerstone Church Will Continue To Partner With Women To Preach To The Gathered Assembly, Regardless of the Outcome of The Mohler Amendment!!!!

1. Joel and Peter prophesied that women would “prophesy” in the last days(Joel 2: 28; Acts 2: 17).
2. Phillip’s four daughters served the church as prophetess(Acts 21: 7-9).
3. Paul empowered women to prophesy in gathered assemblies(1 Corinthians 11: 4, 5).
4. Paul empowered Phoebe to address the gathered assembly, and told the men to show her hospitality, and to do whatever she asked them to do(Romans 16: 1, 2).
5. Paul affirmed Junia as an apostle(Romans 16: 7). Gifts are given without regard to gender(Eph. 4: 11, 12; 1 Corinthians 12).
6. Paul named Euoida and Syntecche as having “contended at my side in the cause of the gospel”(Phillipians 4: 2, 3). Paul also affirmed Nympha and the church in her house(Colossians 4).
7. Paul listed Priscilla’s name before Aquilla in Romans 16: 2, and acknowledged “the church that meets at their house.”

The only question remaining for me is, if the Mohler Amendment is ratified on its second reading, shall I await the disfellowship vote(which I will not appeal or contest)? Why would I await a vote to be disfellowshipped?

History would record that Cornerstone Church stood up for the word of God, and women who proclaimed his word. We’d rather not be disfellowshipped, but the tradition that I hail from suggests martyrdom leaves a mark in history for ancestors to track your trail, that they may be inspired to stand up for the truth of God’s word and his righteousness.

My only regret with regard to my time in the SBC is not allowing the SBC to disfellowship our church because of our continuationist theology, as Paige Patterson/& certain SWBTS trustees were once recommending. The IMB later abandoned their biblically indefensible cessationist policies forbidding their missionaries from praying according to the dictates of their conscience in private.

God may be giving Cornerstone a second opportunity to allow the SBC to disfellowship us, because we partner with Junia, Phoebe, Anna, Phillip’s four daughters and Lottie Moon, in empowering women to address the gathered assembly.

It took ten years for the SBC to correct the error of their ways in restricting the missionaries private prayers. Don’t know how long it will take them to get this women in ministry issue right. I may be in my grave when it happens, but I lean towards leaving a witness that every church didn’t follow Mohler off this cliff. Some churches stood up for biblical righteousness and examples, and were willing to pay the price of disfellowship in doing so.
