My sweet sister please deal with my question. A lexicon is not equivalent to biblical interpretation and exegesis. It is a tool to accomplish correct interpretation not the meaning itself. You know this right? What I am asking for is a description of how a Bishop/pastor/elder/overseer would function in the church during the first century. This is not "controlling" and is perfectly reasonable. If you claim that the modern day clerical structure is unbiblical then you have to explain why Paul appointed people to serve in these positions in the churches, what they did, and which ones were to be compensated. That is what the discussion is about. If you cant prove your point then just conceed. Banning me Vic would just be admitting that I am right and you cant refute me.

You won't be banned unless you receive another warning being that you are at 100%. The warnings are for bad behavior and inappropriate comments or false accusations or not abiding the forum rules. Then it will be by autoban...not me. You need to stop and address what has been said to you. Don't call me sweet sister Chris. Your last accusations towards me was that I was a liar, I was out to get you etc. etc. No one is going to answer your questions until such time as it is seen you have addressed the many posts and questions to You. This topic is closed to you now Chris. Do you understand that. No one is conceeding or not proving anything. It's been done. YOU just can't receive anything that has been said.

You are about one post away from being restricted from posting to the compensation and tithing threads. After that--if it comes to that, you will be put on full moderation with restricted access, depending on your response here. What that will mean is that you will have access to the board---you will be able to read everything but we will provide your own special place to post---just to the admins, if and until such time you can join in with the regular members and behave with respect for others.
