Ahh but there's never a linguist around
when you need one. I reference actual, honest-to-goodness, real, live,
living in the Spirit BELIEVERS/CHRISTIANS. Yes! They did. Yes! They do!
Yes! One or more may be a TT participant. Can such do such?
Unequivocally yes! Does this contradict 1 Jn along with other passages?
Resoundingly no!
So Lance, what do you actually believe
concerning the past/present treatment of women/blacks/1st nations ppls?
Oh, just read the above.
cd: Lance/Gary-I think that we need
to consider what we are defining as "mistreatment of women"? I am
not necessary speaking of placing then in a lower role in the Church-I
am speaking of the broader sense of cruelty towards women-that is an off
sprig for placing then in that lower order, or the results of the bias
one has towards women.There will be Christians who dwell in ignorance of
the women role with God-which if one is seeking understanding with his
whole heart that ignorance shouldn't be there long at all-but to
purposely degrade women or physically harm them is another matter
entirely. No Christian will continue in such acts-and to do so is to be
the same as a lost man who serves Satan.
I was a member of a
small Baptist church at the headwaters of Caney Fork,N.C.-
and the church held the view that women should be silent in church-yet
there was this one women who had such a love of God and the brethren
that she had to speak out-and she was told to be silent many times.One
night in the prayer from she was silence again to which God told me
to say; "No, she shouldn't be silent" I want to hear what she has
to say" the Pastor then agreed with me and the men were silenced and she
spoke of Jesus Christ and proved to have much more knowledge of the
Bible then the Deacons had. I believe those Deacons and the Pastor to be
strong believers-yet they had been taught ignorance.This is why I
believe it to be important that Christian speaks out and encourage
others to do the same.And Lance- if you discourage Christian from
speaking out in public-what are you doing that is different than those
Deacons?Your stance seems to be one in which you believe women should
speak out-I don't understand?
