Bless the sister....but folks, a woman is NOT allowed to be a pastor! Scripture says NO....this is false teaching and the bible warns us that it will come to pass.

Jesus can change us and He has set her free from all unrighteousness. I'm glad she is a Christian
and doesn't need the worldly ways anymore. To
make it in His Kingdom is worth all the treasures
that the world offers and that was an empty life.
Maybe there's hope for Trump and many others. She's
building her treasure in heaven and not on earth.

As for the comment about that there shouldn't be
a female pastor...that's ridiculous. She is an
Assistant Pastor and women can teach others. Joyce
Meyers is a fantastic teacher and the Pentecostal religion, Aimee Simpleton McPherson, was great in her days. Pastors that are women can teach other women, too!

A morally decent woman who has studied, learned and applied the Word of God to her own life first can teach other women. This woman is a disgrace to herself, her family and more importantly, God. God tells us in His word not to mock Him. Also, since when do you attend a church for 2 years, supposedly attend seminary for a few months and then be ordained an asst. pastor overnight? ROFL...

What is the big deal? All people of God are supposed to be doing what she is doing. If people did more than just talk about serving God, we would not have a higher crime rate than most other countries we consider beneath us.

I cannot respect any woman who talks of Jesus and then dresses like a hooker. Something is terribly wrong when we have men and women who claim to be Christians, but they don't look or dress like Christians. I don't think God wants our breasts hanging out, but so many people think it's okay as long as you say you love Jesus. What is wrong when our society promotes and condones this? I'm not a prude, but I do think that for men and women there must be some kind of decorum in Christianity, not an all out free for all in how we present ourselves.
