I may never change you (don't particularly care one way or the other), but corrections are being posted for the 80% of the readers who are not even members of this forum.
That's what people do when they don't have an answer. They ignore, run, or change the subject, or attack... If you can't even defend your beliefs, maybe you should rethink those beliefs...

My daughter was a missionary and often was the only mature Christian when out on mission. Christian men didn't show up to lead the mission. Should the Word of God be hid under a bushel because no man was available? I come from a fundamentalist background, but I told her, if the worst that can be said of you is that you shared the Gospel to make Him known, well then I wouldn't worry about it.


She taught men and women to lead their communities. Thank goodness she was willing to step-up.


cd :O)

Where is the irony? This is what you have done multiple times over on the LGBT thread. You can't even answer why you believe what you do. All you can say is "I read it different", and then whine. Just like so many others like you.

Just that even after you have had a position explained to you, you refuse to actually accept it. You dig in deeper, and hold tight to your presuppositions. You are unteachable. It's why most of the time I don't even bother responding to you, because it wouldn't matter anyway.

You misunderstand. I accept that you BELIEVE your position (I am under no obligation to accept the actual position). I ask questions about your position, which you dip, dodge, and duck (is that right, Trout?), and then claim I won't accept what you said. I ask for clarification, to which you provide none.

Although I do find it funny that a fundie, who quite literally refuses to acknowledge he could be wrong, says someone else in unteachable.

Good for her! Lots of stories about brave and courageous Christian women.

I just heard a sermon about the women subject, and it made the point that almost ALL women were illiterate in Jesus/Paul's time, so having an illiterate person preaching and reading the Word wouldn't cut it. It wasn't about being female, though women were considered as mere chattel back then.

Different culture now; different era in every way.

Yep

We are now at the stage of neither Jew/gentile, slave/free, male/female

We can all see that the organisations that men have built Up are inherently corruptible and liable to errors, even the best of them are not perfect and were never meant to be perfect as they are all earthly/adamic and “elemental” and depending on the different times and seasons have been/are being/Or will be judged on their various works depending on their own purpose for being by their peers/enemies/adversaries/friends
