Re: Men's Role
I must admit that I find volume after volume after volume of "Evangelical wisdom" (including his peeps) quite annoying, and that's all I have to say about that.
Here's a question: Do you understand that the indisputable male domination of church "leadership" has single handedly led the church into the mess it's in today? The church is fractured endlessly under male leadership. The church embraces sin of all kinds under male leadership. But don't you nasty ol' deceived women dare to presume that you can come in and take our leadership role away from us. That's OUR job. We can run this thing into the ground all by ourselves, thank you very much.
Then there's this little "Evangelical jewel": "Yet even though willful sin is apparently worse than deception, in church leadership deception is worse than willful sin." I feel better already.
This forum is full of Evangelical tirades about the mess that male church leadership has produced and this "Women's Role" topic is the kicker.
Whose church is it anyway? He is the head, we are his body, the church. Maybe the male dominant leaders should resign and let the Head, Jesus Christ, take over.
Romans 12:5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
1 Corinthians 12:12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
1 Corinthians 12:27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
1 Corinthians 12:18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.
