Sis. Lynn,
Since you are NOW drawing the equivalency between the OT priesthood and
NT pastorate (that Bro. Jerry Welch never quite seemed to be able to
draw out of you) does that mean you're ready to concede the "woman
preacher" argument? :-)
It has been said that a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of small
minds....but who beleives those guys from the world! nyuk, nyuk, nyuk!
Bro. Steven
