P41,

You say “Feminist Theology”, a common epithet. Where is that defined? Do you understand the difference between a belief that one gender has supremacy over another, and a belief that neither has supremacy? The former is either masculinism or feminism; the latter is egalitarianism. So unless Cheryl is pushing for female superiority, which she isn’t, you have made a public false charge against someone you call a “sister”, and you need to repent.

No, it isn’t Cheryl who has been “beguiled”, but male supremacists. They “love to have the preeminence”, the “best seats”, to keep their position. They love to “lord over”, control, dictate, judge, and restrict. Egalitarianism, in stark contrast, seeks to “esteem others as better”, to treat all equally, to tell everyone the truth that sets them free. We do not seek preeminence, control, supremacy, or any other such worldly and culture-defined traditions of men.

Jesus said “Not so among you”, and “the first will be last”. Think about how those statements apply to male supremacism. Think about 1 Cor. 13 and whether you exhibit this most basic “fruit of the spirit” when you call believers deceived without any evidence. Couching such accusations in words like “sister” and “I’m praying” and “sorry” does not hide your message of judgmentalism.

Why do you say such things to fellow believers? Why is it so important for males to retain a place of supremacy and preeminence? Cheryl and many others have shown the Biblical basis for equality, using only the Bible and nothing even close to “feminism”. You have falsely accused, because the egalitarian teaching is anti-supremacy by definition.

PS: Chery is being way too nice to you. 😉
