Hi Martin,
The reason that CBMW gave was that they had already refuted any reasoning an egalitarian could give and I should just read their books. I told them that their books did not refute my teaching and I had already read them. They said that they thought that the DVDs were poor quality. They also said that there were better arguments given by others (others of course that they felt they could refute) and they didn’t see any reason to try to refute my exegesis. They said they just wanted to agree to disagree. I asked if one can agree to disagree over sin. If this is a sin issue, then they should be able to find someone to correct me. They declined to give me over to anyone in their organization to correct me. They had previously said that a man’s group was not allowed to watch a DVD produced by a woman. They said that if it was truth, then a resource could be found that was taught by a man. If the teaching was not found taught by a man, then the woman’s teaching was suspect since God’s truth comes through men. I don’t know for sure why they have refused to correct me or refute me but I do know that CBMW believes it a sin to listen to a woman teach the bible, so that may also come into the mix. Yet they also told me that a single man could watch the DVDs. It just wasn’t allowed to have the DVDs teach a group of men because a woman isn’t allowed to teach men in person or through the media.
