Happy Promise Keeper

Hi, Cheryl. Thank you for your response. Actually, the misunderstanding and misapplication of the complementarian belief is what is unkind here. Egalitarianism is not taught nor was it modeled in Scripture. It takes an extreme twisting of the Word to buy into the egalitarian belief.

Here is an example of that extremism, as quoted by Paula …..

“Yes, we can indeed lay much blame for such things on CBMW. They give legitimacy to male supremacy, and people trust them. Their teachings have consequences, including the silencing of women’s spiritual gifts and the turning of many from the gospel because it is alleged that God created all women as the inferiors of all men. Jesus said that Sodom and Gomorrah would stand up in the last days and condemn towns that had rejected him, and I believe the world will likewise stand up and condemn the silencing and suppression of women as taught by CBMW.”

I challenge any of you here to quote anything from CBMW to prove that women are being somehow “suppressed” and “the turning away of many from the gospel” is caused by CBMW. Please use Scripture to support your opinion, or in the interest of honesty, just come right out and say that your opinion is just that ….. an opinion. Please be aware that I am fully prepared to respond to any argument that sets itself up against the Word of God, though. I will not allow anyone to manipulate the Word to accomodate the agenda here. I do this in Christ’s love.
