What great questions! Yes I’m on the TBC mailing list as well. you said “Neither extreme is right.” Your right on that one. I said this before, I think God uses male terms like ,He, Father,Him etc s...

Thank you. 🙂 It is my observation that making Christ’s relationship with the body to be solely about authority is also greatly missing the message of salvation. Christ came to bring us life, true lif...

That’s quite a bit I need to write now 🙂 but before I go into breaking that up I’d like to bring to the forefront a few scriptures which will put what I believe is the pivotal scripture in this discus...

Cheryl, (C)My friend, you cannot take two unrelated passages and make an application between the two. Ephesians is not talking about a law or governing authority. That would be completely reading int...

#33 truthseeker, > You are again inserting ’sin nature’ where the bible never does. It is like when the comps insert terms and concepts such as ‘roles’, ‘masculinity’, and ‘femininity’, into the bibl...

Don, I accept your word of admonition as a word of wisdom for me today. Thank you so much! What I will do is keep this blog solely for the issue of women in ministry. When I am ready to start posts o...

Especially concerning that first quote from MacArthur, this essentially means that God’s Word is not all sufficient. If a woman speaks God’s Word, it loses it’s potency unless voiced by a man since it...

Amla, Welcome!  Thanks for your comments. I have not taken John MacArthur’s comments out of context at all.  In fact in my DVD where I refute his exegesis of the hard passages of scripture, I receiv...

Cheryl, I listened to a bit of his show and to say that he is rude is an understatement. You probably will not change his mind but there may be some listeners who will be Bereans. I will pray for your...

Ryan, Thanks son for the reminder that dealing with Christians is sometimes akin to skillfully dealing with the cults where you must win them to truth in a loving and non-combative way. I do have to ...
