              Which is why I'm not in favor of banning her.

              Or that Paul was not a Jew because he didn't use a very specific word, in spite of tons of evidence he was, even from his own lips.

                  The Evangelical Lutheran Church of America has installed its first openly transgender bishop in a service held in San Francisco’s Grace Cathedral on Saturday.

                  The Rev Megan Rohrer will lead one of the church’s 65 synods, overseeing nearly 200 congregations in northern California and northern Nevada.

                  “My call is ... to be up to the same messy, loving things I was up to before,” Rohrer told worshippers. “But mostly, if you’ll let me, and I think you will, my hope is to love you and beyond that, to love what you love.”

                  Rohrer was elected in May to serve a six-year term as bishop of the Sierra Pacific Synod after its current bishop announced his retirement.

                  “I step into this role because a diverse community of Lutherans in northern California and Nevada prayerfully and thoughtfully voted to do a historic thing,” Rohrer said in a statement. “My installation will celebrate all that is possible when we trust God to shepherd us forward.”

                  Rohrer, who uses the pronoun “they,” previously served as pastor of Grace Lutheran Church in San Francisco and a chaplain coordinator for the city’s police department, and also helped minister to the city’s homeless and LGTBQ+ communities. They studied religion at Augustana University in their hometown of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, before moving to California to pursue master’s and doctoral degrees at the Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley.

                  Rohrer became one of seven LGBTQ+ pastors accepted by the progressive Evangelical Lutheran church in 2010 after it allowed ordination of pastors in same-sex relationships. Rohrer is married and has two children.

                  The church is one of the largest Christian denominations in the United States, with about 3.3 million members.


                  I wonder what the laity will make of it. Is 3.3 million members one of the largest Christian denominations in the US? Or is that a reference to churches and not individuals?
                  This the direction of the more liberal churches abandoning the literal understanding of ancient myth based scripture literal interpretation of scripture. Yes, it is a turn to a degree of rational 'humanism' trying in vain to make peace with a changing world. There remains a contradiction with the Biblical scripture taught in the Sunday school in all churches.

                      The direction that the churches which continue to hemorrhage members year after year are going, while those that stick to traditional teachings grow.

                          Yes you do Hypatia you are making the claim that the only way Paul would have or could have said he was a Jew was to use that Greek word when there are many ways. All we had to do was show you the different ways Jewish people referred to them selves as Jews and we did .You have to prove that all the other ways weren't how the Jewish people referred to themselves as being Jewish. We do not have to find what is not there which we've admitted you have to prove that that is the only way Paul would have used to say he was Jewish Sorry Hypatia it is on you to prove your point.

                            Paul may have a been a Jew, I have my doubts, but acknowledge he may have been.

                            However, while he does use other phrases to indicate his bona fides to his Gentile audience he never uses the word Ἰουδαῖος and that does raise questions.

                            The whys and wherefores as to why he never employs that term are unknowns but the questions remain.
