Can my cat preach? You'd always get home in time for lunch!

[Timothy Leary]

But I always wanted to be a preacher...

:teeth: So far the discussion in this thread has been about as deep and profound as that other one!

[dizzle]

Way to denigrate the deeply held convictions of a great many brethren :thumb: Sorry I can't be that deep and profound. :bow:

The bible says it's ok for rodents to preach?

[Timothy Leary]

does it say they can't? if it's not forbidden...

[Johnny MacManky]

Who cares what the Bible says... After all, we're in Unorthodox Theology. We can do pretty much anything we like.

Perhaps if the man is gifted and called/led by the Holy Spirit then he should be allowed to preach. In fact, with such a gifting/calling/leading, it would be crazy not to have him preach.

On the other hand, if you had only one sucky guy in a church, just that 1 bloke and 10 wimins, and he had no gifts, etc, but all the wimins did, clearly he should still be the preacher.


(I can't remember the sarcasm/joking tag, but the example is one I have experienced.)

How about some scripture reference in this thread:


Jeremiah 31:31-34 (http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/search/?go=Go&q=Jeremiah+31%3A31-34) Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

[Timothy Leary]

Um, that's talking about a time when there will *not* be preachers dude... and the 'man' in that passage is generic

I lean Preterist, therefore that time is now!

And the Hebrew word for man in the passage is iysh which means man, male (as in not woman, female).

[commonman]

Oh, and it specifically says, new covenant. That is the one we are living under, isn't it?

[Timothy Leary]

IIRC ish can be used generically just like adam can be but i'd have to look up an example and i don't have a tanach on me

i have an odd understanding of this verse right now, that'll have to explain later maybe. but not now.
