Bible Question:
Scripture ... Eph 4:11; 1 Cor 11:3-16, 14:34-35; 1 Tim 2:9-15, 3:2; Tit 1:6 ... Indiana Jones ... so do you throw out two (there are more - read above) "obscure" passages? You said "ignoring most of the Gospel" ... now prove to me where God said that women should lead, teach men, pastor, et. al. Searcher |
Bible Answer: Hi, Searcher; As I said, I am satisfied to let your congregation silence women. In my congregation women speak because we find no reason to believe that grace, freedom, and unity in Christ are selectively cancelled in God's own house. I am content with that arrangement and have no desire to change your mind or get in a proof-texting war with you. Since you have not proposed any way to harmonize that overarching message of grace, unity, and freedom in Christ with Paul's remarks concerning what he "allows", I'll stick with I have learned through prayer, study, and many discussion with mature, wise Christians. I have explained my position and I respect your right as a Christian to disagree with it. I don't know whether you respect or even recognize my right to disagree with you. I hope you do; I have avoided this forum for a while because I tired of the shrill admonitions of people who think they have an exclusive franchise on God's truth and demand that everyone else agree with them. I hope that's not you. Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |
