The Persecution of Women in the Church

A sign of real spiritual immaturity is to disagree and disassociate. Just because we may disagree on some topics, does not mean we cannot agree on others.

Every healthy relationship is built on common points of interest. There are individuals who cannot disagree without destroying the entire relationship. Some folks, you get on there bad side, regardless what you do and how you move to readjust, the whole building moves with you. That is typical of most narrow minded people who refuse to walk in mature love.

The righteous church should be filled with diversity, yet healthy enough to embrace that diversity without offense or insecurity.

I have lived long enough to know I can love those I may disagree with for only on that day will we know for sure all the answers we THINK we know...

Was Paul promoting spiritual immaturity in this verse?

Or is it one of the verses that shouldn't be in the Bible?

Rom 16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

[Nahum]

Two truths I have learned recently.


1. Unity is not uniformity.
2. Unity demands at least a skeletal agreement.

Are you feeling convicted by your own verse???

Somewhat. I am wondering if I still belong here.

You never answered the question about whether you were familiar with or had ever studied the sacred feminine concept.

The doctrine Paul taught was one of Grace. The judaisers were trying to get the newly founded church to return back to the ordinances of the old covenant. We do need to stand against anyone who tells us it takes a list of do's and don't to be accepted by Christ into His kingdom. When He said it was finished, He meant it.
