Cheryl,
I have just been listening to this broadcast, and I have not read any of the comments on this strand, but I just wanted to let you know that I admire you and respect you for your love and passion for an accurate understanding of scripture. I was disguisted with Matt Slick’s demeanor during this broadcast. You were very patient and kind, but he was completely rude and condescending toward you. And he called you impolite! The entire interview was just the opposite!

I have studied the issue of women in the ministry as well, but I still don’t know that I have arrived at any sort of a firm conclusion. I just wanted to encourage you not to back down from your convictions and what the Holy Spirit has led you to believe through scripture. I also don’t know that you need to apologetically tell people as rude as he is perhaps that you are a little nervous and that you are not used to debating and things like that. He was clearly the cause of any anxiety or flustered-ness that you might have felt, but he kept insisting that you were the cause of the confusion! Unbelievable.

Hold fast to the word of God and don’t let people with his sort of impatience and offensiveness stop you from proclaiming the truths of scripture.
