“For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works,” 2 Corinthians 11:13-15.

Yesterday (11/3/25) I received an email from a female, or at least it was signed by one bearing a female name and with the designation (Rev) attached. With the satanic confusion that is abroad today, it is difficult to tell at times!!

She is someone living in complete defiance of Paul’s teaching in Titus 1:5-6. “For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee: If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.”

Whatever else she may be, she cannot be in obedience to this Scripture and claim to be a minister of Christ!

The title ‘elder’ is interchangeable with the title ‘overseer’ or ‘bishop’ as Acts 20:17, 28 demonstrates. A minister, an elder who labours “in the word and doctrine,” 1 Timothy 5:17, can only be a man. That is the teaching of the Bible!

Claims

This person claimed to be a ‘sister in Christ.’ She further claimed that she was converted over sixty years ago and has been ‘over 40 years . . . in Christian ministry.’

This person then began what was really just a tirade against our conformity to Biblical worship.

Here is one comment: ‘Watching live Free Presbyterian worship on utube I observe the need for outward conformity to expectations. Recently from XXXXX FP I was delighted to see a choir of about 40 young people but dismayed to see how the young girls all felt constrained to wear strange berets  (very similar to the Brethren head coverings.) There can be no Scriptural authority to put such expectations on them. I suspect that are merely responding to church and peer pressure.’

Those are her words not mine!

Doubtless, the final words are meant to ‘embarrass’ me! I find I have no difficulty finding myself aligned with any who, in this matter, obey the teaching of the Bible.

I would much rather be in such company than in that of this sneering female Bible-rejector!

The source of this ‘constraint’, so contemptuously referred to, is merely a desire to obey God.

“Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head. But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven. For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered,” 1 Corinthians 11:4-6.

So much for ‘no Scriptural authority’, as asserted by this female ignoramus!

Rant

She continues her foolish rant: ‘My conclusion is that the Free Presbyterians could more rightly be known as the Bound Presbyterians.’ (more…)
