Extraordinary acts done by God do not overturn the ordinary rules of government, by which he intended that we should be bound. Accordingly, if women at one time held the office of prophets and teachers, and that too when they were supernaturally called to it by the Spirit of God, He who is above all law might do this; but, being a peculiar case, “Because it is a peculiar and extraordinary case.” this is not opposed to the constant and ordinary system of government.

So, according to John Calvin, who determines when supernatural, peculiar, and extraordinary acts of God are deemed necessary?
Is this something determined by the all-male board of Blendeds?
When men of God from around the world spoke up as prophets for God during every so-called "storm" in TLR, none of its leaders recognized this as a supernatural, peculiar, and extraordinary act of God.
I doubt if the current Blendeds could recognize a supernatural act of God if it hit them between the eyes.
