Samuel was pretty teed of at being disturbed.
1Sam. 28:15 And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by...
Oh you are going sexist on me now? OK, Alright I see another facet that I never imagined was in you brother. Yes I take communion. But there were females in the upper room and they were included in the fellowship of believers. They broke bread together with the men and they drank together with...
