“Lin, that is also very interesting that you point out the fact that in the past, the SBTS used to be soft comp. A little bit of false teaching can absolutely spoil a huge and growing batch!”

Personally, I find the Patriarchs more consistent in their teaching even if they are dead wrong and even sinful in their beliefs

Soft and hard comps end up being illogical and their position on Sarah Palin was one very confusing example of the hoops they had to jump through. Itnever did make total sense. But, I can certainly fellowship and worship with them. Many of my friends are soft comps who have never really studied the issue in depth scripturally. Just gone along with the party line.

SBTS at one time had a woman dean and several women professors teaching men. No more. Since Al could not get rid of the woman dean right away, he worked to get rid of the Carver School within SBTS which got rid of the dean. But not before she was accused of being a feminist/liberal, etc.

It is now housed at another University. It was started by the Women’s Missionary Union in 1907 for SBTS. So much for the work of those women who went before us to train missionaries.

Mohler started the Billy Graham school of Evangelism to replace it.
There has been a lot of ugliness toward women for the last 20 years in the SBC. It started as soft comp and is now going into full blown Patriarchy.
