Discrimination Of Women In The Sbc Can They Teach Men At All

I have been following a blog documenting the injustice done to Dr. Sheri Klouda a professor of Hebrew who was forced out of her teaching position at the Southern Baptist Convention’s Southwestern Theological Seminary because the new President, Paige Patterson, does not believe that women should be t

Godly Women Need To Repent

My heart goes out to Pastors who are so engrained in tradition that they can easily justify sending godly women to hell. This past weekend I spoke with a Pastor from a denomination that does not believe that women are allowed to teach the bible to men

@PatrickSemani @DLepanto9801 @PrayTheRosary12 Obviously I’m agreeing with scripture. Circumcision of the heart was not news to the Jews. It was always there and Dt 30:6 is clear proof as they couldn’t

@schism Joseph Smith’s heart and history is immaterial. The teaching he conveyed is what matters and it contradicts scripture and must therefore be rejected.

@BishopJaxi I would never do that. If you want to pray to Mary and kiss her feet

@BaptistClips Curious. If Paul wasn’t also an elder/overseer, then I don’t know who was. A Positive Case for Paul as an Elder Though Paul never calls himself an elder, the NT presents him as one in function and spirit. Shepherding Paul exhibits th...

@HvacRoar24011 Paul calls the Israelites his "kinsmen ACCORDING TO THE FLESH" “I am telling the truth in Christ, I am not lying; my conscience testifies with me in the Holy Spirit, that I have great sorrow and unceasing grief in my heart. For I coul...

@iheartJ37 @MatthewDoyle4 @JoeAdrian256 @dalepartridge @ostrachan I think I agree that I’d prefer someone employ what they learned and share their arguments rather than just a book recommendation. Yet that book is pretty comprehensive though I haven’...

@JoeAdrian256 @iheartJ37 @dalepartridge @ostrachan The only sort of direct connection between egalitarian teaching and gender confusion is if you reject scripture to get an egalitarian reading. I believe scripture is clear that God made people male ...

@iheartJ37 @JoeAdrian256 @dalepartridge @ostrachan Hi @iheartJ37, apologies for the delayed response. I think that the sense of the word used depends on the context, so yes, it can shift. However, what in the context of Eph 5 leads you to believe tha...

@JoeAdrian256 @iheartJ37 @dalepartridge @ostrachan “The husband should be confident in his masculinity” - What does this mean? Do you mean in his rule over his wife? “…and she in her femininity” - You mean in her submissive role? Also, I’m not sure...

@iheartJ37 @JoeAdrian256 @dalepartridge @ostrachan Further, what @JoeAdrian256 appears to be suggesting is something getting closer and closer to what I hold to as an egalitarian, except that I would say we should have consensus and both agree to mov...

@iheartJ37 @JoeAdrian256 @dalepartridge @ostrachan I probably should have stated where I agree with you. You are right that even if someone remains a complementarian, the scripture is clear in both what is said and the example of Jesus and His apostl...

@JoeAdrian256 @iheartJ37 @dalepartridge @ostrachan Not merely as a boss as there is a romantic part to marriage that doesn’t exist in a work relationship, but the part that would be the same is when there is disagreement you have to do what the boss ...

@iheartJ37 @JoeAdrian256 @dalepartridge @ostrachan I don’t think the idea that the husband is the head of the wife is cultural, because Paul connects it directly with Christ as the head of His bride, the church, and with Adam as the head of his wife ...

@iheartJ37 @JoeAdrian256 @dalepartridge @ostrachan I don’t get why it’s so hard to see this. I think that once you realize head doesn’t mean authority but is speaking about source or origin or prominence you can’t unsee that and everything changes. ...

@JoeAdrian256 @iheartJ37 @dalepartridge @ostrachan @farmingandJesus Yes, the husband is the head of his wife but that has nothing to do with being her boss or having authority over her. Marriage always maps back to the first marriage in Genesis wher...

@iheartJ37 @Pastor_Gabe @jerryzz2 That may be part of it, but I don’t think that “good reputation” meant that people didn’t think the church leader was crazy or has lost their minds or that sort of thing. So I don’t think he meant that the world acce...

@iheartJ37 @Pastor_Gabe Excellent points! God is testing us! Being able to right

@billyruck @iheartJ37 @MikeWingerii Also, Mike was encouraging people to loudly leave their egalitarian churches. Why loudly leave? If you disagree, fine. Treat it as a secondary issue. The thing is that Mike himself acts like an egalitarian in his m...

@billyruck @iheartJ37 @MikeWingerii What was uncharitable? Mike told me to repent for spreading the teaching. It was about spreading the teaching that he saw as doing great harm. Then he listed several people who acted improperly towards comps which ...

@RusticSudz @HomelyHearth @BICBCI73 @abarefootmomma That’s because most of them didn’t have a physical copy of the letter. So many were conveying what Paul wrote orally. And what was conveyed orally reflected what was already written so that either b...

@RusticSudz @HomelyHearth @BICBCI73 @abarefootmomma And therein lies the problem. 2Ti 3:16-17 should have therefore read: “All Scripture &lt;and oral tradition passed on only by authorized agents&gt; is inspired by God and beneficial for teaching, f...
