Natural Laws change when nature degrades Adam and Eve's children intermarried but it became sexual sin later (Leviticus 18). In bible times one could marry a cousin, but now it would be a genetic problem.

Why only pastors usually baptize?

Why only pastors usually baptize? This question might be answered by asking some questions to open the mind: 1. Did every Christian in the New Testament baptize? 2. Did Jesus do all the baptisms? 3. Why were the baptisms in the NT usually done by apostles or disciples who had some authority? In the Seventh-day Adventist Church, are baptisms restricted for ordained pastors only? Answer: No, the church manual allows the conference to authorize elders and other non-ordained individual on a case-to-case basis.  But normally it is the ordained pastor who does it, like in the New Testament. This question has been in my mind for years and I only knew of organizational explanations, but as we prayed in family worship, this idea came to mind.  It seems biblical so far...

HEADSHIP VS ORDINATION

in my observation, "headship" has more holes than just plain "ordination". because: 1) when the husband has died, the "head" of the family is the widow. 2) when the husband is drunk, the "head" of negotiation with david and his men is the wife. 3) and also a woman pastor of literal sheep is possible, but she cannot remove the cover of the well herself however, if one uses "headship" argument, then the context actually comes since the garden of eden because 1 tim 2:9-15 says because "the woman was deceived in transgression". "ordination" case is simpler. just make sure it is not mixed or equivalented to "headship", "teachership", prophesying, authority and other overlapping terms. if we can isolate ordination from those terms, and focus on finding ordained women in the bible, then it seems to be clear square reasoning to do so ACCORDING to biblical ordination. doug batchelor and ot...
