re: Southern Baptist ban on women pastors fails in historic vote

All of the Scriptures are God-breathed, not just the red letters. All of the Bible comes from the same divine author and what God revealed to us through Christ He also upholds through the words of the Apostles recorded for us in the New Testament.

I don't recall arguing that the bible isn't God's word.

quote:

Christ freed us from the bondage of the law, but He didn't come to remove the obligation for obedience for those whom He died to save. Christ said to love God and to love your neighbor was merely a summary of the 10 commandments. He said that if we love Him, we will obey His commandments. He said that a true branch will bear fruit (good works according to the moral law).

The "rules" Jesus broke were man-made rules, not holy commandments that reflect God's character. I hope you aren't talking about antinomianism, because the law is good, it just cannot save.

I'm honestly asking because I don't have the entire bible memorized but is there old testament scriptures that say explicitly that women are never to teach and to be quiet in worship or is that only found in Corinthians and timothy?

quote:

Again, Jesus didn't rebuke the religious leaders simply because they were angry with people who did things "a bit differently than they did", but Jesus held those leaders accountable to the standard of the Word of God. The leaders were not rebuked because they taught obedience to the law, but because they were hypocrites: teaching obedience while they did everything they could to exempt themselves or only obeyed for appearances rather than due to a desire to honor the Lord.

I would imagine that if Jesus examined the lives of all of the posters here, he would find fault? Isn't that exactly the point you just made, that Jesus was angry at the hypocrisy. People here have attacked me for breaking God's word while doing so in a manner that is not of God's word.

Christians are to speak the truth in love. Unfortunately, the anonymity of the internet provides a great temptation for people to speaking unlovingly towards others. I'm guilty of this as well. Christians should repent to each other (and to non-Christians whom we sin against) and forgive each other, seeking to be unified in the Lord. With that said, Christians have an obligation to be faithful to Christ by seeking to be conformed to His image, being perfect as He is perfect. We won't be perfect this side of Heaven, but sanctification is a life-long endeavor that happens by the Spirit working in us as we participate in the means of grace, including by faithfully attending the public worship of God, hearing the Word preached faithfully regularly, being in prayer, and participating in the sacraments that Christ gave His Church on top of fellowshipping with other Christians, building each other up in grace.

Look, I just differ from you guys on this one issue. I think Paul was writing to the church in Corinth to help them get some order in place and not to make an all time decree. I haven't used venom or anger to attack anyone, I've simply had a difference of opinion over a secondary issue and yet I've been called multiple names by people claiming to be Christ's ambassadors.

Perhaps the ones throwing the stones should examine themselves first. Are y'all keeping the whole of the law? Do y'all follow the bible exactly everyday? I hope your answer is no because if you think you are, the truth isn't in you.
