@ChristLifeInc1 @MarkGrote @CHouse63 No one said women in ME have spiritual headship. They share gospel and disciple new Christians. Yeshua is the head. Seems you’re unaware of decentralized leadership in ME underground churches. Women aren’t getting pastor’s salary for their work. They just go and do as Yeshua said

[Celeste @ehmceleste]

@abigailosman30 Walk with Yeshua. Faith comes by hearing word of God. (Rom 10:17). Yeshua is that Word (John 1:1). Sheep listen for the voice of their shepherd and follow (John 10:3-4). Walk with Yeshua. Follow. Obey. Faith will increase.

@onemoorematt Interesting. So it’s the ppl in the pews who are engaged in the battle, not the employed pastors. The soldiers are in the pews.

[Celeste @ehmceleste]

@moeljiller If a “pastor” loves ppl, helps ppl, leads ppl to Jesus, teaches ppl to be disciples, then yes, women can be pastors. If a “pastor” gets paid to teach or preach to other believers, who cares if it’s man or woman? The problem isn’t whether male or female.

@allyyarid What about women in the Middle East who establish and pastor churches? Are they rebellious against God’s Word?

[Celeste @ehmceleste]

@Lucas_Disciple True, every disciple is a Christian. But is every Christian a disciple? Disciples were chosen to follow.

@iamroymong Eisegesis

[Celeste @ehmceleste]

@iamroymong Or what if Jesus meant what he said. See Matthew 13:10-13.

@iamrodneysmith Thanks for making the world and Twitter a better place! Have a safe trip.

[Celeste @ehmceleste]

@freedomsbride This might be a good reason for house churches.

[Celeste @ehmceleste]

@NathanielJolly I understand your point. Thank you for engaging with me. Some Christians spend so much time revering Paul they totally miss Jesus. That’s what I don’t understand. The Holy Spirit through Paul doesn’t need defending. That’s why I said “perspective”.

[Celeste @ehmceleste]

@NathanielJolly The difference in what? No, I didn’t claim that. There is only one Holy Spirit. He works different things in all of us. But I have the same Holy Spirit Paul had. Don’t you?

[Celeste @ehmceleste]

@NathanielJolly You’re saying I don’t have the same Holy Spirit Paul had?

[Celeste @ehmceleste]

@NathanielJolly Paul was just a man. The Holy Spirit in him trumps my college degree. But I’ve got the same Holy Spirit Paul had. Let’s keep things in perspective.

[Celeste @ehmceleste]

@AngusKara Maybe because the current workers aren’t asking the Lord of the harvest to send more workers? They’re the ones who are given the instruction to ask. He will send if they ask. And He will send women. He’s not the one sending them to the kitchen.

[Celeste @ehmceleste]

@Shane_E_Caudill @TheKateBoyd Good point. So what about inspiration? Did Holy Spirit actually inspire Paul to tell the people, “Hey! You need to know what I think even though God/Jesus/Lord never said this.”

[Celeste @ehmceleste]

@Pastor_Gabe How do you explain their changed lives? They are devoted to following Jesus and testify to the eternal hope He has given them. They are no longer slaves to Allah.

[Celeste @ehmceleste]

@Pastor_Gabe Then are you calling thousands of Muslim converts to Christianity who say they’ve seen Jesus in a vision liars?
