Man made churches only teach some things are considered correct according to my observations: Pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Baptize in the name of Jesus Christ and regret our sins. Love God & love ppl as we love ourselves as the most important 2 commitments. Holy Spirit, the peace, love and joy. Have faith in God. God is love. Christ is the door to the Truth and life.

And here you are, JUDGING me...calling me blind, and suggesting that I don't have a personal relationship with God. If this is your way of "loving people" as God loves you, you just reinforced why I do NOT go to church anymore.
mommy, Perhaps you should learn to read the lines themselves in my post instead of "Reading in between the lines."
Lol. Do women compulsively "Read in between the lines ... ?"
And, what exactly do you "feel" I am trying to incite? Where in Scripture are the women in true leadership? Do you actually know, or are you just kind of "sensing things" ... ?
Lol.
Don't mess with mommy22, dude. She was being nice.

I don't judge you. God is always there, you have been praying for many years if you can't see Him that's because you have eyes but you're actually blind (spiritually) I don't mean you're literally blind. I'm sorry if you feel judged.
No, you're not blind. Just feel very pity that you can't feel close to God after going to church for many years. Man-made Churches in the end, can't help people go closer to God, can they?
One thing I must make clear, yes, God is love. God wants us to love ppl... BUT !!
I didn't say I'm following His teaching properly.
I'm not.
I don't always love ppl. I hate ppl sometimes. I also scold vulgarities pretty often. I'm a Metallica fan, so F word is a must say in life.
My personal behavior has nothing to do with God. I'm only a sinner.
As for man-made church, from what I've prayed & understood:
Going to church is the first step to get to know God & Christ. It's like when we were little, we went to kindergarden to learn how to hold a pen & how to write 123 & ABC.
When we go to church, it's pretty much like receiving the basic information. We need someone to teach us for understanding the gospel.
After we have the first idea, we then want to know,
"Who God really is? Who Christ really is? Why they're great?"....to get a rough picture of the image of God and to get our questions answered, all these thing can be achieved in man-made church.
To believe or not to believe, it's upto people's free will. A church's mission is only to spread the gospel of God, providing a quiet place to pray & praise to God together.
However, nowadays, most churches also intruduce other weird stuffs, many of them would force people to convert and donate. They don't focus on spreading gospel anymore but very much focus on other activities that are commercial oriented or nothing to do with spreading gospel.
As for Bible, once again, it's a book that contains the information of the gospel, together with some important history records, just like young kids learn how to read story books, from the story book, the kids learn moral & spiritual values.
From reading Bible, we can also learn some spiritual values but when you want to go one step further into the whole picture of gospel, we can't just rely on Bible.
Bible doesn't contain all the truth.
Bible only has parts of the truth because of how it was made and because of its countless translations from languages to languages & editions:
...most of these manuscripts are many centuries removed from the originals, and none of them perfectly accurate. They all contain mistakes - altogether many thousands of mistakes... by Textual scholar Bart Ehrman
Bible doesn't contain the whole truth!!
In history, some gospels were removed when some gospels were added. Most terribly, some gospels are destroyed by men on purpose! So, alogether with so many mistakes, this Bible, it's not my joke, if you want to trust Bible 100%, you're going away from the truth & you will be misleaded.
Christ has warned us. In latter days, evil will come up to teach people false truth.
So, one can trust God 100% but must not trust Bible 100%!
You can trust God 100% but must not trust any man-made church 100%!
You can go to church to pray, sing & praise to God if you like.
Other activities, membership, callings, are really not necessary.
I don't judge you. God is always there, you have been praying for many years if you can't see Him that's because you have eyes but you're actually blind (spiritually) I don't mean you're literally blind. I'm sorry if you feel judged.

I don't always love ppl. Father, I'm sorry!
I hate ppl sometimes. I also scold vulgarities pretty often. I'm a Metallica fan, so F word is a must say in life.
My personal behavior has nothing to do with God. I'm only a sinner.
I have no mission to spread God's gospel or encourage people to go to church since I don't belong to any church myself.
So, I was not judging you because you don't go to church anymore.
You can pray at home or at any place you want.
God is love. He won't abandon you! You can reach Him at anytime you want. He's always there! He's the kindest Father. I hope you will feel close to Him again!
I think you misunderstood what I said. When I said that I've never felt closer to God, that means that I'm CLOSER NOW TO GOD THAN I'VE EVER BEEN IN MY LIFE. I'm not screaming, I use caps for emphasis. I hope that clears up any misunderstanding.

Oh I see! HAHA sorry I didn't get your caps!
Nice to know that now you're even closer to GOD now!
There are shown in Scripture no examples of women being in leadership in Christ's Church or in OT times. Go ahead and state with intelligence and with facts how any of these women "led" anyone in God's Kingdom.
What did they lead people to accomplish?
Miriam was filled with the holy spirit before Christians even existed, she was a prophetess, and she is referred to along with Moses and Aaron as a leader of God's people and a leader of the exodus.
Deborah, as a judge, WAS the nation’s leader. She was a national hero and "leader of the Israelites" and also a respected prophetess.
Esther, who has her own book in the Bible, saved the entire nation of Israel from destruction.
Huldah, another prophetess..
Oh well, I guess the OP can go do his/her own homework now that he/she is banned.
One thing I would like to point out is that society at that time limited the praising of successful business women and women of God, even when they were changing the world, it did not however prevent women from actually accomplishing great things. Try reading the New International Version(2010) of the Bible, it fills in a lot of the blanks.
