Greg,
I can’t say that I am shocked from reading through the Denny Burk’s blog post.  This is where CBMW has decided to take the debate in recent years and it is removing their credibility with those who sit on the fence.  How can an organization declare other evangelical Christians as heretics and liars over this secondary issue in the body of Christ?  When we are being mistreated by the body, we are suffering.  The bible says that when one part of the body is suffering, the whole body suffers.  I believe that Jesus cares about this suffering and he will do something because it is HIS body.

How can anyone read this kind of abuse and see egalitarians as the ones who are dividing the body instead of laying the blame with the ones who call Christians as heretics and liars?  Has anyone read anything like this from the egalitarian camp?  I have never seen egalitarians say that complementarians are heretics and liars and Satan’s pawns.  Has anyone out there seen this kind of vitriol coming from the egalitarian camp?  It is shameful and I believe it is the end result of CBMW’s hierarchical teaching.  I also believe that God is allowing these men to go this far so that the true “fruit” will be seen.  People’s eyes are being opened and what we are saying about the divisive nature of the hierarchical teaching is being vindicated by the attitude shown by complementarians such as Denny Burk and his blog article that you pointed us to. http://www.dennyburk.com/?p=2288
