"I do disagree that sending someone to hell is not loving.  While my view of hell is not commonly held, it is one that I find comforting and consistent with the other things I believe about God.   I think hell is not a place; rather, it is…"

"Adam and Eve cohabitated; they weren't married.  Marriage is a state-sanctioned ritual, and there's no description of any sort of ritual to unite them in the stories about them.  Granted, during most of history and in most places…"

"I have to encourage the instinct you express here to use logic.  "Women teaching in a church doesn't seem like a bad thing, though."  God gave you that logic, why not use it?   Also, male and female were created…"

Exciting Ministries

I'm interested in knowing about the churches you attend.  What was it that made you feel you had found a worshiping home?  What ministries are going on at your congregation, and what makes them exciting (for you or people you know)?  Who in your wider communities are you serving and how?  How do you carry the presence of Christ out of church and into your lives? For me, I currently worship at the church where my wife is pastor.  I am currently discerning my next call and hope to be invited to…See More

"In reference to your statement about vows, I wonder what is your opinion of taking a clerical vow of celibacy.  Is that not a godly vow?  Also, if you follow the letter of that (English translation of a sixty-year-delayed Greek-language…"
