Seaver’s comment that “they seem to make an assumption that they can declare who has the authority in the church to teach…” truly makes me laugh! Is he not doing the very same thing-assuming he can declare-based on his interpretation of scripture-who has the authority in the church to teach?????

I have breathed comp air long enough to know that when it is coming from them, it is ‘the biblical view’ but when it comes from others with whom they disagree, it is ‘their sinful view’. There ain’t no winnin’ for losin’ with that kind of thinking.

I also know that comps-some-will explain away each and every verse that seems to contradict their own often by forcing it into a narrow time capsule. For example, the four daughters who prophesied…”Well, that was in the book of Acts and we know that was just the time period when the new church was being established, when sign miracles and such were being used to get the church off the ground, that isn’t for now.” On and on it goes. I know because I have heard it.

One day, in complete ungodly exasperation, I blurted out that ‘THAT isn’t even logical!” to some cockamamie ‘biblical’ explanation I had just heard. To that I was told-get this-“Well God ISN’T logical. His ways are beyond our ways. The foolishness of God is greater than the wisdom of man.”

If that isn’t the absolutely best ‘get out of jam free’ card that a comp could have in his pocket, I don’t know what is! I can hear it now, ‘Buy a hundred and give them to all your friends!” So now, there is no more rightly dividing the word of truth because how can we know anyway? So, how can comps know? If they think their thinking makes ‘sense’ in light of what the bible says, and yet out the other side of the mouth they can say that sometimes God is illogical, then how in the blight can THEY be sure that what THEY are claiming is biblical and true and right and swearworthy and apple pie and baseball and all-American and true blue and ??????????

The Holy Spirit truly has to look for a hole in their armour and work the light of truth into their thinking through that opening, however tiny it may at first be. To that end I pray, and only occasionally open my mouth to let out deadly feminine vapors. Maybe now, it would be ok for women to preach and let out ‘airs’ if comp men covered their noses-not heads-with gas masks.

Sorry, I had to get that out. None of this is truly funny because it is doing so MUCH harm to so many individuals and groups. The notion of ‘mild’ compism being any better than hard-core is a misnomer, too. Oppression is oppression, no matter how thin the slice. “Would you like a thick or a thin slice of poison with your ice cream, ma’am?” Just give me the ice cream.
