Subject: Were Women ever Crucified?

Bible Note: Justme - You asked about the new NOTICE that the Lockman Foundation placed on the home page of the Forum. I believe it means exactly what it says: no pushing of one's denominational bias and no debating. This does not mean that one cannot MENTION that he is a Presbyterian, Assembly of God, Baptist, Catholic, etc. I freely admit to being a member of a Southern Baptist Convention congregation and this admission, along with my theological views, are in my user profile for all to see. But the persistent and incessant pushing of rigid denominational biases and debating of certain theological issues militate against the stated purpose for which Lockman established this Forum and invariably result in varying degrees of rancor, bitterness, name-calling and divisiveness. Moreover, the debates on such issues as TULIP theology have proved to be not only endless but, all things considered, they have been largely fruitless, indecisive, and instead of narrowing the gap between Calvinists and non-Calvinists, they tend to make it even wider. Meanwhile, during the heat of these debates, other questions and other issues that have come before the Forum have been pushed into the shadows and have been largely ignored. It seems fairly clear that Lockman would not have placed so large and prominent a NOTICE on the home page had they not been prepared to enforce it by revoking posting privileges of those who choose to ignore it. I believe that they are keenly aware of the problems that promoting denominationalism bias and engaging in protracted debates are causing on the Forum. And I also believe they are resolved to take all steps necessary to put an end to them with the aim to rescue the Forum from becoming a free-for-all dais for promoting denominationalism and a soap-box for debates and to restore it to be truly the StudyBibleForum for which it was designed and brought into being. --Hank
