God calls MEN to His service. The lady is called by God to be his wife. Her calling is to follow him wherever the Lord leads him.
Any girl who says she is called as a missionary....to a specific contry.....definintely limits herself to husband possiblilities.
Personally, I do not believe a woman should go to the mission field unmarried. The whole work of a missionary is to preach the gospel and she cannot do that.

Personally, I agree with you, but let's go a little further with it. I don't believe that anyone should do 'missionary work. :P
Give it up, Debbie. No one's listening to you.
My parents are divorced and my father has remarried twice, and we do not have a good relationship, so forget the part about living in my father's household until marriage. He wouldn't have me in his house and I wouldn't live under his roof.
I left for college just before I turned 18, I lived in a dorm and I wore jeans pretty much every single day for three years. I finished college, moved away to start grad school, and now I'm about to graduate with a Master's degree.
I'm gloriously single and don't plan on having kids even if I do find my soulmate and get married. I don't really care if I EVER get married, either, because I'm happy with myself and my life.
I am actually a Christian, and God has blessed me even though I've done just about every single thing possible contrary to what you say we should do to please Him.
So, frankly, you're wrong. A woman OR a man can be called to any sort of work God calls him or her to do. Ever hear of Rachel? Or Joan of Arc? Or Miriam, Esther, or Ruth? Do not presume to know the mind of God, Debbie.
You've dedicated your life to a Victorian, not a Christian, ideal. At least have the courage to own up to it. But then, you certainly don't have the courage to try to think for yourself.
Mrs. Debbie: Setting back women's rights 900 years.
If any of you kids come here and are reading this, Get out! Mrs. Debbie hates herself and she is projecting that hate and worthlessness on you! You are not worthless, you are not powerless! Pick yourselves up and be your own person. (i realize the irony of telling you not to believe everything that people tell you, but listen to what i'm telling you!)
Mrs. Debbie, stop preaching to the general public, a group that plainly includes men, and go fix us men a chicken pot pie.
Actually, there were some female apostles (Junia , for example) mentioned in Acts that got conviently forgotten by The Church.
And Mary's Immaculate Conception, anyone? God still needed a woman to make Jesus.
Thank you, Mrs. Debbie, for proving you care more about arbitrary -possible- interpretation (gender lol), than you do about the bleeding obvious ones (Missionary work, which is the highest form of the Great Commission).
Normally I have respect for people of the cloth, but after seeing what T4C is, both you and Bro. Randy can suck my ridges.
Pretty soon, it will get to the point where it's no longer funny or interesting (if it hasn't already), and where retiring T4C as a source and denying them publicity is the only way to go.
I wonder, after reading so many posts, how can a woman be Christian, according to these morons, if she has no autonomy?, nobody follows guidelines while they´re severily limited FOR NO GOOD REASON.
"Any girl who says she is called as a missionary....to a specific contry.....definintely limits herself to husband possiblilities."
Yeah, because the majority of men in countries that are afflicted by missionaries are non-white. Once again, Mrs. Debbie is "not trying to be racist" - the hypocritical scumbag just can't help herself.
Conviently, she has never read her precious holy book. Ever heard of a deacon named Pheobe who carried the letter to the Romans? Not only was she a deacon (although some Bible translations conviently mistranslate the word), she was apparently independently wealthy and her husband (if she had one) was never mentioned. Oh yeah, there's a curious episode in Judges too about somebody w/ your name, there was also some chick named Pricilla who was apparently important and one tradition holds that she wrote the book of Hebrews.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
