I'll never understand how someone who claims enough biblical literacy to aid in leading a church simultaneously cannot understand the requirememts given in Timothy that those in all leadership roles be "husband of one wife" not wife of one husband, not husband of one husband, not wife of one wife nor even spouse of one spouse.
It is exceptionally strange that this is true. You have few options here. A) They have yet to finish reading their bible -disqualified B) They don't care what God said -disquakified C) They have a misprinted/mistranslated bible that changes the words. D) They are trusting what another tells them is there for physical blindness, illiteracy, or other reasons not under their total control
Thought it was interesting all the gymnastics that were done to escape that very point about the oath and especially the role of the state dental boards. Nearly toothless watchdogs they are, but still they can bark.
Every type of medicine has this issue. You just don't hear about it as well. They have better marketing and more well paid lawyers. Look up 'iatrogenic death' which is the fancy name for killed by the medical treatment team.
I clearly recall student government candidates using co-ed locker rooms as a platform. Knowing it would NEVER happen but sex always sells. And there were always those willing to vote fir them. Of course everybody wants to look at and "accidentally bump into" the boys/girls now that they don't have cooties. Girls want to look too. Don't kid yourself. I saw plenty of pictures passed between girls.
Do not deceive yourselves. If any of you think you are wise by the standards of this age, you should become “fools” so that you may become wise. 1 Corinthians 3:18
Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Ephesians 5:15-16
Hmm what’s more painful and abusive, someone praying for you potentially hurting their own knees, or... asking a mother to consider the truth about their baby being ripped limb from limb or being burned alive by acid? I won’t need a lot of time to consider this one.
Golden ticket to Judgement. It amazes me that Gods grace can even account for this, but oh what a cost and who knows what was lost with these little ones? We may have lost or prolonged the cure for cancer, blindness, Autism, paralysis, Parkinson’s, and countless others since this nightmare began, yet God will be victorious.
