As kaylagrl reminds us, the OP is a question about women pastors. And as usual the thread got hijacked with yet another debate between grace and law.
And fredjames now wants us to believe that we can of our own will power obey the commandments. The same commandments and old covenant laws the Father God was so sure we couldn't keep that He sent His only Son Jesus to be crucified that we might be redeemed.
Jesus said that all the law and the prophets hang on these two things: Love one another and believe on Him alone for our salvation. And the only way you can those 2 things is if the Lord Jesus has dominion over your life. Because the Lord is the one doing the work in you by His Holy Spirit in you; you are not doing it of your own accord. Otherwise, you make His crucifixion in vain.
We now walk by faith, not by sight. It isn't by our might or power, but by God's Spirit. Hebrews chapter 11 tells us that it is by faith in God that we are made perfect. It is God doing a work in us and making us want to obey Him and God giving us the power to do a thing. It is all to God's glory, people.
Do you realize that when Jesus welcomes the "sheep" (as opposed to the goats) into heaven with the words, "Come, you blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you!", the righteous will reply, "Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink?" DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS MEANS? The righteous were not even aware that they were doing works unto God. They had lived with their eyes on Jesus, not on themselves. The love of Jesus had poured out of their hearts onto the poor and the hungry and those in prison and they were not even aware that they were doing any righteous "work". They LOVED because it was JESUS' LOVE working through them!
Please understand what that means! The goats on the other hand tried to enter the kingdom by professing what THEY accomplished in Jesus' name. But Jesus said He did not know them because they were focused on their own works, their own obedience. They were not in a right relationship with Jesus. That's why He didn't know them. They were only aware of what they did. They made the Cross of Jesus of no effect.
Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who try to do anything, even if they think its according to His call. Unless Jesus is doing it through you, it's just wood, hay and stubble.
So the whole matter is: FAITH in JESUS ALONE!
