[Faith-talk] Ridiculous!

[sarah at sarahblakelarose.com]

Linda, it is very difficult to read your posts sometimes. Among Christians there is a diversity of Biblical interpretation, including regarding issues of women and men. I am not sure if you realize it, but some Christian groups believe that it is false doctrine to hold the view that people with disabilities can be practicing ministers.

Please try to be more respectful of those of us who hold differing Biblical interpretations.

Thanks.

Oops! I thought Rob was misunderstanding what I said about the church of which I

am a member, even though it was a reply to Melissa and Ericka.  
My apologies.  Women can't help such a thing!

Blessings,

Hi Rob,

I never said my church shuns women who can't have children.
Please read the posts carefully so you don't rant and rave about falsehoods.

Many people nowadays have transportation issues, or can't find a church where the Word of God isn't compromised.  The Bible says that people will have itching ears, and that's part of it.
Pastors and leaders are preaching false doctrines and watering down the Gospel.  For many, the internet has to be their source for worship with others, which is really unfortunate.  I hope you can find a church where you can be spiritually fed, and where you can get back and forth.  More and more, church leaders don't want disabled attendees or members.  That's not Biblical, of course, but that doesn't matter to them.  Many don't use the Bible much or at all anymore.

Some of these things are why the National Federation of the Blind in Communities of Faith division was formed.  Some can't get transportation; some can't get accessiblematerials; some aren't allowed to minister because they're blind.  Sometime having the advocacy of a national organization is helpful!

Blessings,

Linda
