Here's a puzzler

To Calvinists it's just a certain type of knowledge where God goes back and tells them what has already happened to them. They leave the impression although they won't say the actual words but they'd like people to accept that there was no real need for the gospel to be preached. All the power work and LIFE imparting work had gone on before. Of course this doesn't line up with all the requirements to believe unto salvation which God has stated.
No it does not
 
The gospel is hidden to them that are lost. Who is hiding it?
The god of this world

2 Corinthians 4:1–4 (KJV 1900) — 1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; 2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. 3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

So it would be a hidden thing of God unless God decides to reveal it.

And you're doing RIGHT NOW what they did in Rom 1 the ungodly suppressed the truth. God revealed things to them it even says he did

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
Rom 1:18

So they suppressed it and stayed in denial. So the devil comes along and spikes this for more reasons why they should do this so it rightly can be said Satan blinded them. It did NOT MEAN they didn't have a capacity to walk in the truth and if you resist that fact you're suppressing the truth as well. You are. Not the devil. Not God. You are.
 
SBC ousted Saddleback and Elevation left.

Good.

As "women pastor's" only work in a politically corrected version of the NT.

How do you know?

Because its PAUL who gives us "church Doctrine" and he was very specific about qualifications for a Pastor.

Paul said... .if you are to be put into the Position, you have to be the "HUSBAND of one WIFE"..

And ladies and gentleman, a woman, cannot be a HUSBAND, as that is a MALE.

Now, in 2024, when Gays can Adopt and Hamas is celebrated in the USA.. and "shrinks" are trying to prove that 8 yr old children need to be "transgendered"....

So, in this type of "crazy" world, that is banana's gone bonkers, where the inmates are managing the asylum... when Biden decided on 5-5-2024, to "not give the War Package To Israel, for now" that Israel needs for their Iron Dome, as well as to bullets in their Rifles..

Se, in this kind of world chaos.............of course you are going to have Mega-Churches with women pastors.

And "Elevation" left.....i would say, because His SENIOR Pastor Wife told Him to do it.

"Happy wife = happy life". .. is that the answer?

Well, not according to Paul and the NT.

He didn't reveal to them gospel in Romans 1. He revealed to them His existence. Context is a wonderful thing

I've never advocated for a female pastor but I know a few women that would be much better at it then the men doing it now. Priscilla was a excellent example. She assisted her husband in correcting Apollos.

This doesn't create a scenario where Priscilla should have been a pastor but women certainly should have a voice among us. Especially when they are right.

I have many issues with Elevation. They preach a social gospel like many today. Same with Saddleback.
 
Nope. Good try though. Do believers suppress the truth, verse 18?
