Kay, I tried posting my comments on Mike’s site a second time, and if I read the message that popped up, I think it went through but will be posted later. And I think your are correct in your assessm...
Cheryl, Good question and I think it’s one that deserves attention. But here’s the rub. We egalitarians are not going to change the minds of those who hold fast to tradition any more than “they” are g...
Hey “H”, Yes, I understand what you mean. I was told by a Pastor when I first produced my DVD series that I would have no hope of changing the die-hard complementarians and the die-hard egalitarians ...
If anyone comes across this post and knows of more sound churches who are also egalitarian, feel free to share these with us all!...
Lin, Thank you for your very kind words! You are right – I make a big deal about the importance of sound doctrine. There is a cost to pay for this, but to me it is worth it. My DVD set has been given...
Pinklight, Hi! The whole argument regarding deacons i think is generally irrelevant to the comp/egal debate. Pheobe could easily have been a deacon without disrupting the teaching of Paul in 1 Tim 2 ...
“Paul’s restriction in 1 Tim 2 is for the elders of the church who have the spiritual resposibility of preaching. Egalitarians confuse the comp position by combining all the different ‘teaching’ eleme...
Hi Dave, Yes i have considered Stephen, but again like Pheobe it is irrelevant to the argument. Maybe i should have been a little clearly with the quotes you gave of me. As i understand 1 TIm 2:8-15...
Mark, you said, “As i understand 1 TIm 2:8-15, the teaching restricted is that linked with authority in the public congregational setting. That is, the preaching from the pulpit so to speak. This is t...
Dave, We are always going to but heads. I recommend you read the scholarly work of comps such as that book i recommended before you continue to argue for Cheryl’s exegesis. s Kostenberger has con...
Mark, you said, “We are always going to but heads. I recommend you read the scholarly work of comps such as that book i recommended before you continue to argue for Cheryl’s exegesis”. Are be butting...
Hi Mark, > Thank you for clarifying your question. Now i can see what it is you are asking. Well, I am glad that you are roundabout admitting that you were the one that was not understanding, but wi...
Hi, Cheryl. Firstly, I am 100% egalitarian. I believe with all my being that women and men have the same rights to rulership on God’s earth. On that note, I never thought I’d say this to another egali...
Dear Captain Planet (cool name!) I agree that most egalitarians do not preach on the hard passages of Scripture like [1 Timothy 2:12-15](logos4:///Bible/1Ti 2.12-15) but I am different. Here is why. ...
Michael, Martin, Paula – go ahead and continue to discuss the issues as I work on my responses. I may not be as fast as you folks are 🙂 Michael: Regarding your first post (#1). You said: “Cher...
Cheryl, “My husband has been pushing me to take my research that was used in WIM and expand on it and put it into a book.†You should listen to him! 🙂 “If one takes scripture and removes every...
One last thing, if the complementarians can get away with teaching that Eve did not receive the command from God and God only wanted to communicate with her second-hand through her husband, then they ...
John Robinson, pastor of the Pilgrims who did not get to come with them to the New World, summed up the issue well with a comment to this effect: “Who knows what new light is getting ready to break fo...
#56 Craig, Boy it has been a long time since I have been going through an trying to pick up comments that I need to answer on my blog. I don’t have a lot of time these days but I am mostly in doors ...
Hi Corie, You are right in that the headship issue is pivotal. I have read the book “Why Not Women?†and I thought it a very good one. I especially appreciated the respect given towards the opposi...
