God the Father ordained salvation before the beggining of the earth, Jesus (God the Son) accomplished it.
In my dead spiritual state I could never have had an interest in the things of God.

"Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David."

@val70 not bigotry at all. man is the glory of God and woman the glory of man. for a woman to preach or teach is akin to man teaching God. Liturgy matters

@hippyjoe1955 "woman is the glory of man" indeed 🙄 no, nothing against you having a male priest... only against so-called christian churches deciding who's in and out. I do know enough theology to know what's what
