1) No. [See: The Single Issue by Al Hsu (pronounced 'she') published by Inter Varsity Press (c) 1997]

2) Yes - but only when both interpreted and applied correctly and within the proper context (2Tim.3:16-17; Heb.4:12-13).

3) Do I believe that leadership is 'male'-based (in accordance with the Judeo-Christian Scriptures), yes, but that is not to say that 'female' cannot lead in any context or under any circumstances [See: [i]Leadership Is Male by David Pawson available online from either www.anchor-recordings.com (http://www.anchor-recordings.com/) (UK) or www.Goodseed.org (http://www.goodseed.org/) (USA) or from your local Christian bookstore or public lending library].

If the Bible is clear on the relationship between 'male' and 'female', do we have the right or authority to challenge or redefine the nature of that relationship [Does God exist for our 'good pleasure' or do we exist for his (Rev.4:11 (A.V.))?]

Do you believe the lord has choosen you significant other already?
Yes! I believe God already knows our entire life prior to conception.

Do you believe that whatever the bible said is true?
YES! The bible is God's divine inspiration, denying the bible to be true, would be like
saying God doesn't exist..

Do you believe that the guy is always in charge?
According to this verse below we are all the same in God's eyes.
Ga 3:28 (http://bible1.crosswalk.com/OnlineStudyBible/bible.cgi?word=ga+3:28&version=kjv&st=1&sd=1&new=1&showtools=1) - There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

Now I do believe there are roles for men and women.
It does say those over the congregation should be of one wife, so apparently the leadership role of "pastor, priest etc" should be a man


God does NOT call the qualified, He qualifies those that He calls...

If that is true then all distinctions within the body of Christ are null and void. If 'neither male nor female' means that Christianity recognises no differences in nature between men and women then their roles are totally interchangable within marriage (what's wrong with a loving homosexual relationship?) and in ministry (presiding elder, archbishop or pope!) [See: Leadership Is Male by David Pawson available online from either www.anchor-recordings.com (http://www.anchor-recordings.com/) (UK) or www.Goodseed.org (http://www.goodseed.org/) (USA) or from your local Christian bookstore or public lending library].

My point was that God does not see a man more worthy then a woman, we are all the same. I do believe there are roles that are laid out very clearly in the Bible for us.. I think I already said that above :thumbsup:
If the Male should always be in charge, then I would of never went to church, because my husband said NO, he didnt want to deal with it, but now that he was saved, he thanks me for attending and getting him to attend also.

Not sure why you are asking me whats wrong with a Homosexual relationships?
I wasn't aware that was what i was in referencing to or what the question in this thread was in reference to?
Another thread may be more appropriate IMO..
