Lin,

I was also confused as to what this has to do with the New Covenant where we are all priests in the Holy Priesthood. And where all true believers have ‘anointing’. (1 John)

That is certainly a thorn in their flesh. It doesn’t fit their no-women-pastor’s model. But then the arrogant denouncing of women pastors in the way they did shows they have no intention on being rational or reasonable.

Am I the only one perceiving this or has the stakes gotten higher? In other words is the rhetoric getting more acidic and the charges more arrogant and unloving? I sit back and watch all of this and wonder how in this world can these men name the name of Christ? Where was even one woman in the scripture dealt with this way for using her God-given gifts for the benefit of men? Amazing!
