Omarosa Is the Lord's Apprentice Now

By PopEater Staff Posted Aug 14th 2009 11:35AM

Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth, the most celebrated villain in the history of 'The Apprentice,' will answer to an authority even higher than Donald Trump soon. The former contestant is set to begin ministry studies at the United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio on Monday, Us Magazine reports.

"She has expressed a calling in her life and it is our opportunity to provide leadership and guidance as she makes a transformation," says Ivan Hicks, the school's associate dean for African-American studies. "We're excited about her coming to school at UTS."

Omarosa will spend about two year pursuing a doctor in ministry degree, Hicks confirms, and adds that her reputation could be an asset in her new line of work."Some of the good things and bad things we've done in our lives help us to actually relate and to be more widely accepted as a minister," he says.

He believes that Omarosa "has a heart for ministry," evident in her work on behalf of the homeless and the poor in Haiti.

Susan,
God didn't write the Bible. Men did. Men made the rules. And, of course, the subjugation of women was part of those rules. In God's eyes and heart we are equal.

just who I want to serve, a god who doesn't think I am good enough to lead others down the path of rightousness just because I am not a man.

We are not living in Biblical times, Susan. If your husband is emasculated then search your own heart for the reason.

Susan -

Did you know that the Bible was written BY MEN, not God? While I appreciate that this is your view, don't you think God wants everyone - man, woman or child, to have the ability to spread His word? What about the fact that your husband is able to preach? I'm Catholic and our priests are not allowed to be married. Don't you see the similarities? There are variations on everything. THE BIBLE, not God, says that homosexuality is wrong because during times of persecution, when soldiers for a cause were needed, any and all seed was needed to pro-create, not because they were evil. Again, while I appreciate your opinions, God loves us all and only he can judge. How could He not be happy and accepting of someone, regardless of their sex, that is praising him?

By Snommit

Susan, you are the one who needs to read the Bible. God did not say women cannot preach. Jesus called out two women that were causing a scene in the sanctuary and told them to be quiet. And there ARE female profitess' in the Bible. Seems you are just listening to your husband instead of studying yourself witch is a sin as well.

sorry, I meant which...not witch.

And in this corner we have the "know it alls"

And today our new challengers "I have a bible never read it duo"

So tell everyone what you think is the challenge. I think the biggest problem is that people tend to forget that the Bible is interpretive. The person reading it should be getting whatever message they need to seek out God's wisdom. There are some things that are very straight forward but most of the Bible is in parables. So we can read it and have our own opinions and get our own talents from it. And to all of you who like to call someone out as a doing the wrong this. The Bible says we are all sinners and come short of the glory of God. I smoke and that is a sin. I want my best friend's Mustang, that is a sin. In the Bible, it is written that sin is sin in the eyes of God.

The website sounds creepy and desparate. Or just plain gold digging whores who cant make a living on thier own. Disgusting.

As long as The Bible exists, we are in Bible times. Don't mistake how old the Word of God is for how up to date we want it to be. God never changes. His Word never changes. His Love is everlasting. His condemnation is as sure when it comes to opposing His Word. The Word was given by God and yes, then written down by Holy men of God. One author, many hands. The Bible never goes out of date because men have always been the same. There is nothing new under the sun. My husband is not emasculated. It is the men who prefer to sit under the pastorate of a woman. They are the ones who don't have the spine to take a stand for God. It all starts with believing the Word of God from cover to cover. What many of you are responding to is feeling and not faith. We are not supossed to be doing what is right in our own eyes but, through the eyes of God.

By thoughtful

Susan my very misled friend,

God took parts from man to make woman, why on earth would He want woman to be a submissive part of society? He wants all his women and men to spread the good word, otherwise why would he have made woman at all? The men listening to woman preachers are not at all emasculated, they should feel just the opposite and have to seek God to seek a woman.

By Maria

Gee Susan, sounds like you're judging all women and we aren't to judge anyone, only God can judge, or don't you agree with that? I believe the more people that can spread the TRUE word of God the better! Are you telling me that Jesus didn't love Mary Magdalene the same as he loved the male disciples and didn't he treat her above the apostles? So was Jesus wrong for having Mary Magdalene preach with him? Susan, women, men, and children are all children of God and we are ALL allowed to spread the good word. Say a prayer to the Holy Spirit that HE may enlighten you!

By Jaclyn

Susan, God's word did change from the Old to New Testament. In the Old Testament he said "An eye for an eye" and in the New Testament he said "Vengeance is mine". If I had the time I could list a number of other differences. Please, before you have another open mouth, insert foot moment, re-read the Bible. Do it for me.

By Billie

Please give us the scripture that denies a woman to preach. I agree with most of your other comments, we are still in Biblical times. And the Bible IS God's written word. But please, tell me where I can find the scripture that women are not allowed to preach. In Genesis, it states we are help-meets, not help-mates.

By mark

there are several verses in the bible that deal with women in the church- 1cor. 14:33-40 is a good place to start. 1tim. 2:9-15 should also help. GOD's Word is not to be formed by our own ideas but is to form our ideas! people have a tendency to not like that but thats something they will answer for. there is more so let me know if you need them.

Spare me and the rest of us with anIQ above 50. You bible thumpers are an embarressment to the human race. That debate was settled years ago and I am frankly quite tired of hearing your stupidity.

It states in 1 Corinthians 14 that a woman should not speak. Most people use this verse to shut women up. This chapter is dealing with speaking in tongue. Women are told to be quiet during the interprtation of tongue. As usual, most people who deal in the judgement of others use one or two lines of a scripture to make the point.

By pastor T

Miriam, Deborah, and Huldah in the Old Testament were leaders and techers of the Word.

In Acts 18, Priscilla and Aquila are presented as faithful ministers for Christ. Priscilla's name is mentioned first, perhaps indicating that she was more “prominent” in ministry than her husband.

I am a full time pastor. Iknow many will take What Paul writes in Timothy Where"women" are to be silent. If you do right hermenutics you will find the translation is specific to wives to their husbands who are leaders.

So Susan I find it funny that if you take it to the letter of the new testament your very posting on here would be in contradiction to you own beliefs. I dont say this out of malice.

My belief is this. Women ca nbe pastor. However they cannot hold authority over men in the spiritual role. So what do you find wrong with childrens pastors being women? I find none. I believe women should not be senior pastors and there is biblical evidence to support this. Ido believe that in the church it has become femminized and men have been emmasculated. it started in WW2 when men left and women started running the churches. Men need to be the mne they are called to be as leaders of their family and i nthe church. I agree. But be very careful to cross the line saying women cannot be pastors. You do have to look at contesxt and culture in proper interpretation and hermenutics of the Bible. I know some disagree if the have a strict Calvanistic view of the Bible. But Iloook at the life of Jesus and he broke every cultural rule when it came to women. The helped in his ministry and he ministered to them (women at the well) when the religiuos leaders of the day would not.
So it boils down to this. Do not be sexist because Jesus wasnt. But dont go the other way and disregard the role of the man as the leader of the church and of his family. God did create us differently. BUT HE LOVES and cares for the genders just the same.
This is my short response. lol.
Susan I agree with you that todays culture views christian theology as sexist. But it must be explained that God did create us differently. But women held many roles of importance in ministry and even pastoral roles. our culture and even our prosestant churches dont eve ncloseley resemble the 1st century churches. So be careful to seperate culture and spiritual truth.

Don't take anything on POPEATER to seriously. POPEATERS source is US magazine (The National Enquirers dumber young brother).

By pastor t

1 timothy 2 is what she is referring to in the new testament. Iagree with his stements. Idisgree with Susan saying women cannot be pastors. What about the pastor of womens ministries, pastor of benevolence, pastor to children, sheprherding pastors, missions pastors. all of those roles can be held with our having authority over the men.
