it seems to me that above all else, when you have stopped coming from the point of view of 'love,' you are kind of backing up, regardless of your position. There is a sense in which the last part of this quote is true, but you have to get a spiritual sense of this.
I understand how compelling sticking to 'the letter' can be; and understand much better now how the Word can confound--and why you ignore my posts, perhaps. Thank you for helping me to see that women may pastor, and be fruitful.
