was about women preachers.

I never said that God didn't call people, I'm not saying you or anyone else wasn't called either.(that would be pretty idiotic on my part if I did!)_

Following the Lord doesn't make you a preacher.

I disagree with women feeling called to be a pastor or priest or preacher. As I don't believe that it is justified from the Bible, but that doesn't mean that sometimes a woman will still preach! I have women friends that are preachers, I don't look down my nose at them or think they aren't saved or even that they don't do good works, I just disagree with them putting themselves in that position!lol

No Jane there is no strain, I just was confused as I thought you were saying you were a preacher, (as in a church) and thought I had misunderstood your history, which you have so beautifully told in the past. (or had missed something)
