It would be nice if they were acknowledged by the fundy pastor who seems to think he’s only preaching to men!

I get the feeling that she is the smartest they have, so she gets to be the spokes bigot.

Macushla, I had the same thought– surely at least the women in the room can imagine kissing a man! Heck, some of them may even enjoy kissing a man.

I’m a member of the church in Ormond and carruthers has run off any one who would stand up to him. Is there any proof of these allegations of misconduct financially

You’re absolutely right, the Bible does teach separation and holiness. It does not, however, teach it in the way that many fundamentalist churches teach it. In terms of separation, look at the life of Christ. He spent his time in fellowship with the worst sinners of his culture. He didn’t just preach to them, he entered their homes and ate with them. Look at Paul, who knew the secular poets well enough to quote them by heart while preaching in Athens.
In terms of holiness, look at the kind of life Jesus advocated. Was it one characterized by a strict adherence to a set of rules? I don’t believe so. It was one saturated with love, looking out for the other, and spreading peace and compassion wherever one goes. There are certain rules the Bible lays out for Christians, yes, but they do not have to do with the styles of music one listens to, whether or not one visits the movie theater, the English Bible translation one uses, or whether or not one consumes alcohol. Jesus taught love, not rules.
