I don’t know if s/he is a lesbian or a man trying to turn himself into a woman. Column doesn’t say, just refers to her “wife.”

(Surely she’s lesbian. Why would someone pseudo-change their sex and then hook up with someone of the gender they could have had in the first place??! Such a foul world these days.)

Either way, she’s messed up.

She isn’t deceived. She’s a willing participant in promoting evil and should be treated as such. With scorn.

Exactly. She is no different than the serpent in the Garden who twisted God's words to cause destruction.

You don’t know me and you don’t know what God has called me to do in HIS Kingdom.

Ah, considering your username and the content of your posts, it's a bit presumptuous to say that, isn't it?

But maybe you might like to shed some more light on that issue, since it appears that you seem to feel that readers are a bit dull of perception.

I'm listening, Captain--I esteem God's Word, too, and strive to observe and obey it. Here is one part that helps form my take on His doctrine for the calling of humans to be in His employ, the Holy Ghost writing through Paul:

"I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting
In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness
and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity
and holiness with sobriety.
This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour,
given to hospitality, apt to teach; . . ." (1 Tim. 2:8-3:2 AV).

Is this something that you agree with in formulating your understanding of God's calling for men and women to serve in His Kingdom?

Enlighten us, here (click on this)

Salvation Army? U. S. Army? Any army organization?

There are lots of Bible translations, and they don't all agree. NWT, for example, vs Masoretic and Textus Receptus. Which is your favorite?

Give us a hint --

OK. What then do you feel yourself called to do on the FR forum? And if this calling is a secret, why? and what is the Scriptural basis for your secrecy?

"But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things:
Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts" (Eph. 6:21-22 AV).

Paul, called of God (Rom. 1:1) was not ashamed of making his calling known to all. What is yours? Is it to play the 21questions game?

Yours are wise words, but hard for many to accept.

I have found that truly comprehending that God is Jesus to be God with us, opens pathways in the mind of those professing Christ as Savior and Lord. Jesus wanted His disciples to get this message, as shown in John chapter 14, where Jesus gives Phillip a Physics lesson. Because of the way God made Phillip (all us humans), Phillip is limited in what level of dimensional complexity he can perceive. Jesus told him that the only 'amount' of God The Father Almighty that Phillip could see was where God The Father Almighty intersected Phillips field of limitations, as Jesus the man, God with him. To perceive more complexity of God The Father would require that Phillip be transformed to a higher dimensional being ... and we have been givent he strong clues that such is PRECISELY what Phillip and the rest of believers in Jesus will have done to them at the Rapture.

John writes that when Jesus appears in His greater complexity, we will see Him as He really IS, for we shall be like Him ... God is going to transform us into higher dimensional complexity and in that state we shall see so much more of Whom is I AM.

You don’t know me and you don’t know what God has called me to do in HIS Kingdom.

“Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.” (Proverbs 26:4-5)

You forgot verse 5:

"Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit" (Prov. 26:5 AV).

(As a hint aside from the topic, the scholarly way to render a quote would be to give the source version, and also to put the period at the end of the sentence after the quoted reference.)

Now, if you are presuming my questions to be foolish, that would be a foolish assumption, wouldn't it? Your responses awaken a curiosity as to your purpose, and your reticence takes on the aura of mockery. I am trying to avoid that, and get you to share your sense of purpose.

"For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light" (Eph. 5:12-13 AV).

So why don't you stop playing hide-and-seek, and tell us of your interest in commenting on FR? Or at least your interest in hiding what you think God has called you to?

"See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
Redeeming the time, because the days are evil" (Eph. 5:15-16 AV).

Hi, Bro! You're back. Maybe now that the flood of comments on this "Synod" abate, there will be some interest in real Bible matters:

"Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me" (Isa. 48:16 AV).

As He also has sent His servants.
