As I said. I'm sorry for whatever happened. I really am. Perhaps if you were to reveal more to me I might quote a passage or two. But at this point I can only empathize and say I am sorry for whatever happened.
In other words you feel "sorry" for anyone who doesn't hold your old-fashioned views, right?
First of all, the only time I talk about gender roles in my church is when the text mentions it. I go verse by verse through a book, so it's not even as if I am picking the topic I want to preach on. It's weird that the people that usually bring this stuff up on this board tend to be disgruntled people that used to attend a Christian church.
I don't know any evangelicals that dwell on it. Believe it or not, the women in my church have jobs! They get to leave the home! They drive, they even have friends outside of the home. Some CHOOSE to stay at home with their kids, but they actually do carry on full lives.
It's so baked into your way of life that you don't even know that you're doing it. You said that if a woman became a minister at your denomination you would leave.
I thought his post made perfect sense, and it seems like a pretty common reading of Genesis. Are you saying that you are a church pastor but you are only aware of the literal interpretation of parables? Even if you don't agree, I would think that a pastor would have come across differing views at some point in Bible study. I'm trying to converse with you but it's hard to understand where you are coming from.
Anyway I think this topic strikes a nerve with some. Maybe everyone who worships this god has similar views about gender as Adam did. ("This woman that you gave me. She did it.")
And if that is the case, then the author of Genesis surely did NOT worship a sexist god.
would you follow the bible if jesus was a jesetta.
