Reading the comments I was reminded of what happened to me in a Bible College far far away. The subject was ‘preaching’ and we had a woman (a strong comp) come in to lecture us on how to preach to women. She handed out notes that were headed as a “Lecture” given by her. Soon the conversation turned to whether or not a woman should teach/preach to men (we were a room full of guys by the way!). This female lecturer responded by saying that she “could not respect any man who thought it was ok for a woman to teach men, as they had not taken their Bible seriously!”

When we start making up the rules ourselves then we end up in a mess!
