A woman with the title Bishop?
« on: April 07, 2010, 11:17:44 AM »
Now I know we have had different threads talking about women preaching or whatever. I have no problem with that, But last night Me and my mom visited a church and one lady was up preaching and when she was done. The speaker announced the pastor of the church. She said please give a hand clap of praise for Bishop so and so. And she was a woman, And me I was like  ?/?. It was my first time hearing a woman holding that title. Like I said earlier I have no problem with a woman preaching. But this didn't sit right with my spirit!! Is that even scripture? What do you guys think?

Anyway, I'm with you.

Shoot, I'm Bishop Vangela!  As soon as I finish making my payments to TitlesandAnointings.com, LOL!!!

Naw, the female bishop thing doesn't work for me, but I mind my business and let the people that hold those titles deal with God and their congregations.

Ditto.

And for the record, I'm not crazy about female apostles either... or pastors. But I don't judge them and I'll receive their ministry as quickly as I would if they didn't have the title. It's just not my thing...

And don't get me started on bishops and apostles (female OR male) who don't pastor churches. I will NEVER understand that one.  ?/?

I say to each his own. There are a heap of things going on in the body of Christ that dont look or seem right or whatever. This is just one more thing to pray about.

I've learned that folks are gonna do whatever they want to do anyway...the bold ones will even try to use the Bible to justify it...so I don't even give such things a second glance. It's like fighting against the wind.

On another note, what is a "hand clap of praise" or worse yet, a "hand of praise"?  LOL!

Yeah, I don't mind giving GOD a hand clap of praise, but I hate when they try to force me to give Sis. So-and-So a hand clap of praise.  ::) :D
