Cheryl,
I enjoyed your last post. For me that is where the frustration lies in that people will not come out and tell me they think it is a sin for women to teach men – they just say I don’t believe women should teach men leaving me with this empty feeling of why? It seems they are afraid to say the word sin for fear it will start an all out war. I have openly asked one pastor if he thought it were a sin and he would not answer me. Why would that be other than to be afraid of starting a war, i.e. division in the body. What he doesn’t realize is that people are not stupid, they figure it out sooner or later. It seems to me that the Lord and Paul always done things openly and not secretly. Why do you think these things are done secretly rather than openly? Rather than dealing with the issue it is done covertly. As with any issue it will surface eventually and what will the fall out be?
