The words of the testimony should be applicable to all people of all =
times both male and female.  God changes not.  So His word is infinite.

  Many of these letters are concerned about women's job as mothering.  =
But there are many women who are either childless, or their children or =
grown and no longer need "mothering."  If that is the reason for not =
ordaining them, it surely is not applicable  for all women at all times.

Re: SV: Re: Ellen White's Ordination CertificateJust about everything in =
the Bible is male oriented.  For example, we are called sons of God =
never daughters of God [unless I have missed something].  As the leaders =
of the churches were exclusively male then addressing men in masculine =
terms is not a peculiarity.

  Johnny,

  How do you interpret the "priesthood of all believers?"  What does it =
mean that we are a "kingdom of priests?"  Is that only male?
