Sister Alvear- All your posts were well worth the read. I think it time to finish that book of yours.

Jesus broke every tradition, crossed the boundary line and astonished them with His doctrine. Jesus does not condone one human being superior to another. He does not make slaves. He makes those who are enslaved, free!

Well said Sister!!

Haha! I was just going to say the same thing!!!

So many protests and cries of astonishment...when THIS is where it should have gone in the first place.

I'm amazed at the discrimination of women still going on in our world today, and how even our culture and our churches are still dealing with the effects of ancient history.

Although we've made strides in the last two centuries, are we REALLY at a place that is truly the way God would wish it?

Why does it take 68 pages to finally arrive...thank God, I just about gave up.

It is interesting to know that Paul said "help those women that labor with me in the gospel (Philippians 4:3) and said, "That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to everyone that helpeth with us and laboreth. Paul believed that all Christians should be subject to men and women who are leaders in the church.

That worked until the church became interested in titles and positions...

[Felicity]

Many of the other posts and positions had merit too.

I don't think anyone here opposes the idea that women should be treated with the respect and worth God has given to them.

I don't believe any woman haters posted in this thread.

Because Sister Alvear is the only female who can post in this vain without being accused of being a feminist.
