Remember that it was the Holy Spirit who converted you rather than a particular person and the Holy Spirit will not exclude you from God's love but rather chase you relentlessly with the passion of a God who truly loves you, who offers you adoption and transformation, eternal life that can begin right now and the promise of a glorious eternal future. God laments with you and will never let you go. Hang in there. Blessings Rachel.

The sooner I defect to Geneva, never Rome, the better for everyone.<br /><br />I had my guts ripped out by the person who converted me. She refuses to forgive me for liking her, after more than twenty years, despite her just being ordained. She excludes me very effectively from God's love, as far as the Church of England is concerned.<br /><br />With apologies to all women clergy of sincerity, particuarly the blogger.

It says ...Where does it say it isn't permanent? It says she is to remain quiet but I can't see an 'until'. It also says that, given that she remains quiet, she will be saved through having children. She won't be saved through expressions of faith, but (having transgressed) by having children (not faith but works).<br /><br />If you treat the passage as a rule, if you privilege scripture so, then it is as clear as day.<br /><br />It has to be rejected. This rejection is assisted by the fact that although in the name of Paul he didn't write it, so the text is its own deception.<br /><br />Even evangelicals are selective when it comes to biblical texts.Pluralist (Adrian Worsfold)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01922153724523820866noreply@blogger.com
