The Persecution of Women in the Church

Perhaps because this isn't the first time this conversation has come up, and from some posters, its the same ol' same ol'. Blech.

It is in Satan's best interest to attack ALL Christians, not just women. Do you really believe that Satan is only attacking women? In our church right now we have two men fighting cancer, several working multiple jobs to support their families, men who have lost children...men who struggle with all kinds of things in their lives.

How arrogant would I have to be, as a woman, to say that they are not engaged in spiritual warfare on a daily basis?

I just don't like this thread. *Note The Big Scowl On My Face*

I don't think we've approached it from a macro historical view as proposed by CH ... beginning w/ the Church fathers ....

Again the thread took a turn when the patrolmen "smelled a rat" in their opinions

I missed the "smell a rat." I read the first post, and skimmed a few other...interesting...ones. (to be polite)

I am all for discussing the plight of women from a Christian perspective. Until the male-bashers arrive. I have a husband and son. I love them too much to allow such nonsense to stand as if it has substance.

When you've got a guy posting tripe on an Apostolic forum, and pushing the idea that the Bible is not the infallible Word of God in its entirety...

Claiming to know the Bible like "the back of [his] hand," and yet making outrageous and false statements about how paul spoke so many times just from his own opinion, questioning the book of Timothy even being in the canon...

Then yes, there is a rat that is reeking pretty bad.

Please do not think your opinions are canon.

Knowing CS, I doubt he thinks that Daniel, but the fact is I picked up on what he did even before it was mentioned.

Thank you.

I don't think the pontifications and criticisms of the Church are all that impacting coming from a man who has this opinion about the Word of God.

Color me unimpressed.

I really didn't think Daniel was so far gone that he would align himself with that kind of thinking.

I actually have a hard time relating to the idea that attacking the position of the early church fathers (the forerunners of the Catholic Church) is the equivilent of attacking "The Church."

I found CH's point of view that it takes a great mother or great grandmother to produce a great man the more interesting thought to consider. I wish someone else could have ran with that....

Can a man became great if his mother or grandmother ain't? Can a great father make up for a bad mother? Is the woman indeed the heart of the home? Is it true that the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world?

What does Scripture show and tell us?

Another meaningless comment.

Daniel, you would defend the devil himself if he registered here and attacked Apostolic doctrine and ministry.

A pastor I preached for once as a young married man gave me a piece of advice about relationships that I have never forgotten.

He said, "Boy, if you want sweet, be sweet."

Another post that reflects a policeman and pharisee-saturated attitude.

Some of us are wearisome that a handful believe that this forum is a church... that we must somehow submit the the spiritual authority of overseers and their twisted view of TRUTH.

You are only sweet to those that agree w/ you. When they somehow challenge your dogma the Coondog comes out.

Forums are places of discussion ... a place to opine ... not shrines that agree w/ you and ... be submitted to a barrage of Inquisition-like castigations.

Your weak attempts to somehow monopolize the term Apostolic is just that a feeble attempt.

The predictable devices to define and pigeon-hole CrazyH are only based on the perceptions of a shrinking minority....

Yet you continue to marginalize and attack him even when he said things to the contrary.

CrazyH, spoke in general terms about a subject that should be important to all of us .... the priesthood of all believers. I submit CrazyH is as Apostolic as the rest of us.

I must admit, however, that I enjoy seeing you post in the typical dogmatic, duplicitous, reactionary mode .... because well .... at least your posting.
