Practical application of Pentecostal theology in politics, economy and social issues
Could there have been a threshold-god associated with 1 Samuel 5:5
Among the Romans there were three gods which made up the entrance of a door – “Cardea (Hinge-goddess), called after hinges, and Forculus (Door-god) after doors, and Limentinus (Threshold-god) after the threshold, and Janus himself (Gate-god) after the gate” – Tertullian
Was there a Philistine, Canaanite, Summarian, or Ugaritic equivalent for the Roman Threshold-god, Limentinus, that could have been associated with or given a different significance to the passage of 1 Samuel 5:5?
1 Samuel 5:4-5
But the following morning when they rose, there was Dagon, fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of the Lord! His head and hands had been broken off and were lying on the threshold; only his body remained. That is why to this day neither the priests of Dagon nor any others who enter Dagon’s temple at Ashdod step on the threshold.<

I’ve never heard of women pastors priest. We have two women preachers in our church. I’m talking ours only. We have a lot of women preachers and all kind of workers , in the Church Of God but I have never heard them called priest.

My understanding is that priest derives from Old English word for elder. Can some linguist here confirm or correct that?

Wherever two or three are gathered in his Name, the Spirit of the Lord which gives liberty will be there.
But the enemy also wants to destroy. That is why men led by the Lord are essential, providing protection for Godly women to have such liberty. In cases where the enemy may be present, Godly women will be silent.
The greatest need in the church today are men truly devoted to the Lord. (I am not referring to men devoted to their profession.) That is what led to the great Pentecostal revival. There were also great Godly women participating in those meetings.
