Happy Promise Keeper,

This blog is filled with material on 1 Timothy 2:11-15 which is the only scripture in the bible that even could be taken to “suggest” that women are not to teach men. I simply do not have time to restate things that have already been stated here very clearly. I suggest that you move off of this one post and look up the answers for yourself instead of just saying that the scriptures have not been answered. It really does not look good for you otherwise. It makes it look like you are only interested in throwing grenades and leaving without a consideration for truth or the answers that have been provided. I greatly value dialog and respectful attitudes towards fellow Christians. Those who do not respect fellow Christians and who are not interested in a position other than their own that is set in stone and not up for testing should probably just stay in their own “role” and not try to educate. Others who truly do love the body of Christ, even those who do not believe as we do, will always be welcomed here with open arms. I would recommend that you read the page at the top called “Disclaimer” to understand the rules and either respect this space and this community or find a place where you can be respectful and loving.

As far as CBMW I never claimed that I was just anyone who emailed this group. I have clearly presented the truth that CBMW participated with me in agreeing to quotes taken from their literature and they participated in requesting a “review” copy of my DVD. If they weren’t interested in refuting a well thought-out argument that refuted their arguments from a position of respect and love, then they should not have agreed to a review copy of the DVD. Agreeing to review the DVD and then refusing to do so does not come across as honest or respectful. Since you have danced around the facts, it is clear that you are not open to dialog just as they are not open to dialog with me.

Jesus is the one with the authority and if he decides to have a special group of 12 male apostles, that is perfectly fine with me. He also distributes the gifts and if he distributes the gift of pastor to a woman, that is just fine with me. Take it up with Him.
