PIECE or PEACE

WHATS YOUR EXCUSE?????

I recently heard a women pastor (an oxymoron) twist scripture last week on the radio trying to convince the audience that Phoebe was the bishop of Rome. Phoebe’s name is only mentioned once in scripture in Rom 16. This is the type of absurd scripture twisting that disqualified and unauthorized users of God’s name use to abuse the body. I am located in Orlando Florida and it is really getting bad. People have no idea how to choose a church. Couples in ministry divorce and both have churches. That’s right the man and the woman. Both have no biblical basis for pastoring but yet they do. Look through our local paper ministry section and women proudly display their availability as if they are legitimate. They are NOT. You can’t locate a single woman pastor in all of scripture. They lead people astray and are not spirit led. For a biblical discussion on women in leadership click here.

Scripture speaks time after time of the worth of women in ministry. Women ministered to Jesus and the Apostles. They were essential in handling the growth of the persecuted new church. Paul proclaims the value of women in ministry throughout the epistles. However he clearly, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, states that women can’t hold the office of pastor (elder, overseer, or bishop).  

I often wonder what would motivate a man to sit underneath an oxymoron called a female pastor. Scripture is clear in prohibiting women from this leadership position. Again the question is why? I have had the opportunity to talk to a gentleman who has been rescued from this unbiblical church. He mentioned two of the reasons I had surmised for attending these unbiblical congregations.
First he mentioned “men chasing skirts” because these churches appear to good hunting ground because of the lack of teaching on morality and lack of church discipline. Secondly he mentioned henpecked men who come to church simply for “peace” sake. 

As I reviewed the other likely reasons for attending these corrupt churches, I realized most could be summarized as “Piece or Peace”.  Allow me to give six reasons men attend abhorrent churches pastored by women:

1. Many single men go for piece sake, chasing skirts for the purpose of fornication. Yes there are men, sin filled men who will go anywhere to quell their lust. These men are seducers looking for weak willed women.

2. They go for peace sake. These men are henpecked by their wives and have no peace in their home from these domineering women. Their demands must be met or there is hell to pay. They refuse to submit to God’s word, therefore they refuse to submit to their husband. Nag, Nag, nag.  These men are bound to the women spoken of in proverbs. Pr 21:9 ¶ It is better to live in a corner of a roof Than in a house shared with a contentious woman. Pr 25:24 ¶ It is better to live in a corner of the roof Than in a house shared with a contentious woman. They demand which church they attend and they want a church which teaches female dominance.

3. Married men often go for piece sake. There are certain married women who unless they get their way will refuse to obey the biblical mandate of  1 Corinthian 7:3-5 commonly referred to as “due benevolence”.  These women threaten to withhold their bodies if they fail to get their way; therefore the men go to the church of the woman’s choice.

4. Some men simply want a piece of power. They go seeking position and title. They realize there must be some pseudo appearance of male leadership. Therefore they seek the position and all the free meals and trips that come with it. They fail to realize they are being pimped by the women in charge and used  to give a false credibility.  Many phony women pastors have so subdued these men that they vehemently defend the women’s right to be a pastor. These men are simply wimped out.

5.You also have a group of men that seek the money. These seek a piece of change or money. These have a flesh drawn to covetousness. They can see when a game is being run and want in. So they seek out these congregations and participate in the con, simple for money, for the graft involved. They allow their wife to pastor if it brings money into the account and they deceive other men. These last two groups resemble the false prophets of 1 King 22 and 2 Chronicle 18. These false prophets loved the robes, the royalty, the pomp and the parties associated with leadership and were willing to lie to obtain and keep their position and benefits.

6. Finally you have a group of men who have just failed to study the word and just don’t know any better. These men just need a piece of knowledge. These men are intelligent, just illiterate when it comes to scripture and sitting under a women pastor will keep you that way. A female pastor will NEVER teach the whole counsel of Gods Holy Writ. To do so would reveal that they are disqualified from the position they seek.

It’s time for real men and women of God to stand up and warn those sitting under false unbiblical leadership.  Remember pimps come in both sexes. False teachers abound, male and female and only the Holy Writ and a proper application can discern truth and error. These are not God's churches for they fail to follow God's word. Call a spade a spade.
