Moderators lazarus Posted September 13, 2012 Author Moderators Posted September 13, 2012 So I wonder if the GC report will reject the notion of ordination altogether since it is essentially a catholic practice designed to perpetuate the power and influence of the "bishops" Quote Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities.

CoAspen Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Hmmm....well....the committee to report on that matter will get back to you....but...what was your question, could you be a little more clear...thats out of line to suggest we follow the RC in any way.....ordination is not man made and we have a committee researchijng for that proof and verification right now....next GC session we will have a report...but in the mean time...well......

Dr. J suggests that the Biblical foundation for the ordination of pastors is very shaky even non-existent. Obviously, this is a shocking suggestion for some.
