Best to use common sense and take the parts that improve Society and leave the rest behind.

What parts of the Bible are being banned in Schools/Colleges?

You claim some parts are 'a mixture of myths, cultural and personal
beliefs and opinions". How did you come to this conclusion?

An Evangelical pastor recently criticized the presence of women preachers in Southern Baptist Christian churches by saying that it is in conflict with the Bible. (See article below.)

What do others have to say about this issue? Should women be allowed to be ministers and preachers in Christian churches?

EXCERPT:


(RNS) — Evangelical pastor John MacArthur, speaking at a celebration of his 50th year in pulpit ministry this week, weighed in on an ongoing debate in the Southern Baptist Convention over women preachers, claiming the nation’s largest Protestant denomination has lost faith in the authority of the Bible.

He claimed the SBC had taken a “headlong plunge” toward allowing women preachers at its annual meeting this summer.

That, he said, was a sign the denomination no longer believed in biblical authority.

The whole story reminds me of the time that a friend of mine invited me to his Sunday School Class, and this Male Southern Baptist Minister who was teaching the class tried to enlighten us all by explaining the fact that it’s written in The Bible that unless a person has Children, they cannot enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

Need I say more. lol

You should have called him out. It would be interesting to see what scriptures he would use.

My classical 'rabbit hole' is Mathew 23:14 but that applies to most of the new translations.

Come on BJ you know what this is. It's political power games and money games, same old story. Like I've said on other posts I totally reject what is going on today, which is divisions being sown by idiots in position of authority. I may upset people but i'm not taking sides just pointing out what's going on. Civil war is brewing as clear as the day is long. You know it. I know it. As a spiritual person I refuse point blank to have anything to do with this side taking and some people who claim to be spiritual should know better than to play a role in these games because its quite serious. The real path of peace, now that is the place I want to be, that is true love.

I think you already know what parts BJ

I came to the conclusion by reading through other religious/belief systems that our Ancestors followed.

There's nothing new under the sun....

Ha Ha! He was actually the one who called me out because he saw that I didn’t bring my Bible to class. lol

But your right. He was probably trying to hide the fact that he believed a person can only get into heaven if they have a Son and not a daughter, because that’s the way that people like him think. So I should have asked him to quote the verse. That way, all of the women in the class would have called him out. lol


Mathew 23:14

I’ve always liked that one, too. :)
