Said the PA artist.
(Look, passive aggressive is just too long to type out over and over.)
Your title is now PA Artist. This title will be announced and applied whenever you are working your art.
You would prefer I use your other title perhaps? BS Artist?
Watch out, or I'll ask the question I have been dying to ask you for years, but have been too polite to.
I wonder if God will reject all the men I have been evangelizing to.
Hi Edith, sorry for all the drama in the thread! Some of our members get kind of emotional when they are misunderstood or disagreed with, but they generally mean well so please don't let it bother you
.Regarding your above post: a woman's witness is just as valuable as a man's in the eyes of God. Jesus even appeared to a woman first after rising from the grave, I have heard it said that God did that on purpose so the story would carry more weight (because if it had been made up by humans they never would have assigned a woman to that honored role, it went against cultural bias that said a woman's testimony was only worth half as much as a mans). Cool stuff!
Anyway..... I completely applaud you for your evangelizing! I think it's good for women to bear witness to men, women, children..... everyone. But teaching is different from evangelizing, it requires a more long-term commitment wherein the man (or woman) could develop emotional entanglement.
It's just a thought, but maybe you should think of your evangelizing as seed-planting, and leave the watering to someone else? That is how most of my female friends view their witnessing efforts in regards to men. Speak as The Lord moves, say all He commands, and leave it to Him to bring forth the growth
Jesus first revealed His status as the awaited Messiah to a woman also (the unnamed infamous Samaritan woman at Jacob's well).Regarding your above post: a woman's witness is just as valuable as a man's in the eyes of God.

Yup, and the Samaritan woman ended up evangelizing a lot of people herself!
Jesus's impending birth was revealed to a woman first (Mary), then Elizabeth & unborn John The Baptist. God definitely considered women to be valid and credible witnesses, even when the culture of the day did not

Oh thank you very much I am so blessed by your words. I will make sure to hand men over to other men for teaching.Hi Edith, sorry for all the drama in the thread!

If someone touches you, kindly remind them the Bible teaches it is not good for men to touch women.
It is the same for men and women. Merely talking to someone of the opposite sex can lead them to believe we are interested in them. And why wouldn’t people be attracted to someone nice and polite? Doubly if they are physically attractive. No need to be rude or avoid people, we need to be conscious of our own actions and try not to give the wrong message.
This is why we don’t recommend people evangelize the opposite sex (or those interested in the same). Share a short gospel and refer them to a male friend or a church.
