My bad. Sorry seeking1. I guess I should hold any questions until I give you the chance to reveal your position in its entirety.

Sorry again brother, or sister (I don't know yet). Consider me just an idiot.

Happy Good Friday ... if you celebrate it.

Hello Awareness,

I am a man, by the way. This is a good write up regarding the complementarian view on woman pastors if you are interested:

My answers to your queries are below.

***I gather that, you don't seem to be too fond of egalitarianism.* Cuz to you it doesn't strike you as true to Timothy.***

Thus far no, it does not strike me as true to the Scriptures.

***Also, I gather that you're not fond of exegesis of scripture.* Like taking a look at the Greek text, context, and so forth and so on.***

Sure I am but, it should lead somewhere. Not just take people in circles and leave them dazed and confused.

***It also stands out that LGBTQ is anathema to you.* I doubt that you'll ever be egalitarian with them.***

Anathema? That's a little harsh but, I would certainly never be affirming of their lifestyle.

***And you seem too to be concerned about being egalitarian with race, Judaism, and Islam.***

Not sure where you got this from.


***Please correct me if I'm wrong about any of this.* But if I'm not, tell me please, just who are you egalitarian with?***

You may have misunderstood but I am discussing Christian Egalitarianism, that is, Egalitarianism among believers.

Thanks seeking1 for clearing all that up. I think now I could tell you from Adam's cat. And thanks for the link to the complementarian view. I did read it. I guess I should admit that I'm not OCD on keeping the Bible, but hold rather to, whatever works.

I'm a male too, but resent the short shrift women have gotten from the beginning ... the Genesis story basically threw them under the bus. But I understand that a woman became the mother of God. Can you get any higher honor than that? And look at the intimacy young teen Mary shared with the Spirit of God! No man has ever achieved that.

And I hope you had a good Friday, and hope you enjoy the Easter Bunny and Egg ... the feminine symbols and celebration of the fecundity of Spring.

And by the way all. If we're gonna be OCD about scripture, let's not forget about Sophia (wisdom), that was elevated in Proverbs 8, to being Gods' consort from the beginning. That's an outstanding honor to women too.
