I applaud your efforts towards defense on a topic you apppear to be very passionate about. Perhaps next time you could leave your virtue signaling on F.B. and allow the poor woman who askes a simple question here to not regret it. If emotion equated to fact, you would definitely win. But I did not know we were competing.
Next time you want to punk somebody out on a biblical matter, feel free to to do so by using fact and less emotion. You clearly have no interest in learning, just bullying. If I said something wrong (perhaps misunderstood) I am willing to learn, but as far as I can see this comment section has been exhausted only by your vacuous rants on the pretext of social justice.
Forgive us Judy may.
To give you a better understanding how the unbelievers are in bondage to the Medical Profession we provided you with a list of references from the Word of God, which is God ( John 1:1).
Those were an excerpt from the entry 'The Chastening of the Lord' listed on the 'Current Events' page of our website. All of the other entries and articles are confirmation how and by whom mankind has been deceived and what people must do to be reunited with the only true and living God.
Seek, and ye shall find ( Matthew 7:7).

1 John 1:8
Matthew 5:28
MATTHEW 18:21-22
This is a common point of confusion among believers. The scriptures above say everyone sins. This includes Christians. Paul himself struggled with sin, not his past, but sins of present and temptations: Romans 7:15-20. If Paul, one of the pioneers of Christianity admits to that, what are the odds someone else is without sin. Zero. Jesus was the only perfect being who never sinned on Earth. If you're following Jesus your sins are forgiven by the debt He paid on the cross (grace), but that doesn't mean you're not sinning. Some people think a miracle happens or history is rewritten, no, you can even continue to suffer the consequences of that sin but still be forgiven. There are lots of ways to sin and Christians probably unknowingly sin every day, whether impure thoughts, lust, dishonesty, bad thoughts towards someone. But Jesus challenges us to be perfect, to strive to be pure, to not follow the world. This differs from a new teaching from satan which is spreading around Christians that claims that it's impossible for Christians to sin, therefore enjoy yourself, follow the world if you want, because it doesn't matter. That talk is contrary to what Jesus said and is straight from the devil. We're supposed to strive to avoid sin just like Paul, and when we mess up , confess and ask for forgiveness, but don't beat ourselves up about it either as long as we're following and pursuing Jesus our sins are forgiven. God bless...
Why would it matter to you what ministry Judy May is affiliated with?
Judy never asked if she could be a "leader" of a church, or if she could "teach". Judy asked if she had a right to "take part in ministry."
You say that the definition of "ministry" is "service or aid... not to one particular job."
So, according to your definition of "ministry," what is your problem with Judy?
Maybe you should check through her first comment, as those words "should suffice."
You say "One who prophesies can teach."
Well said.
Not to cherry pick, but what are you to do with Phillip's 4 daughters that were prophetesses. Could they not teach?
You say "a prophet[ess]" (seer) is an OT/Jewish concept."
Again, what about Phillip's 4 daughters. That is not Old Testament. They were prophesying after Christ died?
Your amazing words and comments should have been "sufficient" to correct my understanding, so sorry if I have not been persuaded that Judy should "be silent" concerning teaching the Word of God.
You do not have to be a "leader" to be a "teacher."
I am not "angry," nor am I looking to make a "spectacle" of this thread.
I apologize if my comments and questions made you feel uncomfortable.
I was just trying to defend the right of Judy (and half of the world's population) through the word of God, to be able to teach (not be a bishop or deacon) other people about the word of God.
That and your testimony has made me very happy. I'm praying that in you the Lord would raise "a man after God's own heart."
Talk to God. He's always listening.
I did try to answer your questions with scripture.
Regarding Peter, I've asked the same question before. The Holy Spirit was not yet given to mankind, and he was not born again when he denied Christ.
The time is rapidly approaching when every Christian will be tempted to deny Christ before people, in order save their temporary lives. Most "Christians" will deny Him, erroneously and fatally thinking "Oh, God will forgive me." No, He won't. He says he won't forgive you right here: "But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God." Luke 12:9
If you will remember anything from our conversation, please remember these words of Jesus.
"For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it." Mark 8:35
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
The Word of God is God ( John 1:1), which the natural man is not able to understand ( Cor. 2:14). For that reason our message remains the same: Ye. must repent.
Only through 'True Repentance' will God be able to reveal Himself, and adopt you as His sons and daughters ( Rom. 8:15,23; 2 Cor.6:18; Gal. 4:5; Eph. 1:5; Hebr. 12:5; 1 John 3:1).
The word 'Repent' means a lot more than what people by nature have been conditioned to believe. It is the key principle of all the teachings of Jesus Christ and the axiom (basis) of the Word of God and a prerequisite and primary requirement for the salvation of mankind. It actually means the changing of spirits - to turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God ( Acts 26:18).
For a better understanding and the 'spiritual truth' of what it means to repent, and learn how and by whom mankind has been deceived ( Rev. 12:9), and what people must do to be reunited with the true and living God, we invite you to seek Him according to the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive ( John 14:17).
You need not that any man teach you ( Isaiah 54:13; 6:45; 1 John 2:27), It is only by revelation of God that you will come to know Christ ( Daniel 12:4,9; Amos 3:7; Matthew 16:17; Luke 2:26; Romans 16:25; 1 Cor. 2:10; Gal. 1:16; Eph. 3:3,5; Rev. 1:1). It is a narrow way that leadeth unto 'Life', and few there be that find it ( Matthew 7:14).
Seek, and ye shall find ( Matthew 7:7).

Please remember that the sons of God have come for the pulling down of this world's 'Strongholds', religion being the strongest of them all ( 2 Cor. 10:4; Luke 11:21-23).
When it comes to the Medical Profession, please know that the believers live by faith, as the true and living God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob is their guide in all things. Remember how God took care of a host of 2m people for forty years. He fed them and provided them with water and other essentials. Even their shoes and garments didn't wear out. Also remember that out of the original group that crossed the Red Sea only Joshua & Caleb crossed the Jordan River. All the rest died in the wilderness, while only the new generation crossed the Jordan.
Rather than speaking from personal experience, we believe that the most effective way to be taught and to come to the understanding of 'The Chastening of the Lord' is by the Word of God itself

What of Matthew 1:21 He shall save them from sin. How can we be saved from sin if we continue to do it? The answer is you can't. God is not accepting those that are actively sinning into His kingdom or Heaven. In the beginning, Adam and Eve were expelled from the garden of Eden for their sin. Any that sins in the present tense is not in the kingdom of God. And living free from sin after repentance is possible through God's power not ours. Last thing, repentance is sorrow and gaining God's forgiveness from sins in the past, not ever for the present or future. If you sin presently, God's forgiving grace is voided by your disobedience. And if you harbor desire to sin in the future, God sees your intents and will not accept your repentance.
Further down we give you instructions how to find us on the Internet and invite you to review the entry 'This World's Strongholds' on the 'Current Events' page of our website. Yes, the Medical Profession is indeed one of the big strongholds that has people in bondage. The 'Current Events' page is a collection of thoughts and discussions on today's current events and how the content on the website helps to explain and examine them and put them in a 'spiritual' context.
As a direct result of religious and made-made doctrines and commandments ( Matthew 15:9; Mark 7:7; Col.2:22), history has proven that mankind does not follow the first three commandments ( Ex. 20:3-7), bur rather follows after an image of a false god and a false Christ ( Matthew 24:24; Mark 13:22; Gal. 4:8; 2 Cor. 11:13-15; Rev. 12:9). History has also proven that this whole world has been deceived as confirmed by the Word of God inRevelation 12:9, and history has also proven that 'Religion' is a deception that Satan is using to transform himself into an angel of light and an apostle of Christ ( 2Cor. 11:13-15).
You can learn more about our Ministry in Christ by Googling our 'Names' or the article "False Apostles and False Christs' or 'A World Deceived'. There is also a 'Contact' page for further communication. We invite you to review the 'Letter of Introduction' posted on the 'Introduction' page of the website. It highlights some of our work. Please note that our website was visited last year by people from over 160 countries. There are a total of 193 countries throughout the world plus the Vatican and Palestine that are listed as observer states.
It should be noted that in over 36 years of service we have never collected/received, solicited or requested donations. The gift of 'Life' was freely given and freely do we give to all those that believe ( 2 Kings 5:16; Matthew 6:26; 10:8).
Seek, and ye shall find ( Matthew 7:7).

To continue what I was saying in my first comment:
I would like to share with you an experience I had regarding the afterlife.
After my father passed away several years ago, I was extremely distraught and I had severe depression lasted for over a year. I felt like I'd lost a lot of faith in everything I'd believed about God, because my father had been a devout believer who loved God with all his heart - so I couldn't understand why had this happened to him?
(Later on I DID understand why)
The depression didn't get any better over the following months, it only grew worse, and there were times when I felt like I didn't care for this life anymore. I kept wondering - where is he? How can I know if he's in heaven? How do I know if he even still exists - what if he's gone into that 'soul factory and been reincarnated and now he's gone!!! The very thought of that was too heartbreaking to bear! This is also why my depression was getting worse - I couldn't get over it, because I had no peace of mind for him. I felt like I NEEDED to know he's ok at the very least!
Then, on one of those days, I had an astounding dream.
This is how it began:
I was in a street, and I could see my father wakking in the street too, a good distance ahead of me. So I started following him, while maintaining that distance between us. We walked and walked for a long time, until he crossed over what seemed like some kind of border marking a crossover from one realm to another. I followed him, saw the border, and crossed over it too. I carried on following him for another long distance, and then I saw him approaching a structure. By this time I was actually very close behind him, so when he entered this structure, I followed him in immediately. I wasn't in there for more than a second before guards rushed to me and ushered me straight back out. One of them yelled at me, "What are you doing here? You mustn't be here! You've got to go back! Go back!"

I thought I had read something about the appointment of judges, am I wrong?
"Satan is styled the "accuser of the brethren" ( Rev. 12:10. Comp." " Job 1:6; Zech. 3:1), as seeking to uphold his influence among" "men by bringing false charges against Christians,
with the view" of weakening their influence and injuring the cause with which they are identified.
He was regarded by the Jews as the accuser "of men before God, laying to their charge the violations of the" "law of which they were guilty, and demanding their punishment."
"The same Greek word, rendered "accuser," is found in John 8:10" "(but omitted in the Revised Version); Acts 23:30, 35; 24:8;" "25:16, 18,
in all of which places it is used of one who brings a" charge against another."
Mishael: I'm not saying we should tickle ears or stroke egos.
We should at least spend an equal amount of time Edifying the Brethern. Encouraging, lifting up wilting spirits, undergirding;
Standing in the gap and in the hedges, sitting in the watchtowers, even,
Interceding for the Saints, as Jesus is doing.
We talk the talk, but can we walk the walk of Jesus Christ? All of this knowledge and do we spend time in the Prayer Request room? Praying for the little people? What would Jesus do?
I don't say this in anger or in accusation. I'm just weary of hoping for change.
Have a great Saturday. God bless.
