If you expect it and aren't willing to justify that expectation, how do you think it will happen? By forcing them to respect it?
Kids should be off limits period. Though it wouldn't surprise me if Dayton3 made a disparaging remark about somebody's kids either here or way back on TBBS...
Dumbass. You were around eleven years ago when Black Dove pulled that shit about Mewa's kid and he was ran off the board for it. There is no "rule" in place, but using other's family to troll has never been kosher, regardless of who was on staff.
Okay, I'll bite. How's that work? You believe in Adam and Eve and the Fall? Or do you believe in evolution? So, why the issue about homosexuality, then? Jesus didn't mention it. And while we're at it, given that the concept of original sin is an OT item, why does it still apply to humanity after Jesus got nailed to the cross?
Paul certainly mentioned it thoroughly in the New Testament. And he was an apostle especially chosen by God. So as far as I"m concerned what Paul wrote is binding.
From the way I read it women are not to exercise any authority in the church over adult Christian men. And yes that means not speaking in a regular worship service unless requested by an adult Christian man. For example Christian women may teach children and young adults and instruct other women. But they are not to teach Sunday school classes of adult Christian men, preach, lead singing, or lead prayers. I hope that clarifies my position.
Funny, I heard it was only Muslims and orthodox Jews who practiced inequality for women.... ...the things you learn!
Do you understand why this would be commanded by the Almighty? Or do you just blindly obey because it's in your special book?
I don't believe it was commanded by the Almighty, so the question doesn't arise for me. It does for you, so perhaps you can answer instead of deflecting.
Yes Dayton. Why is it wise to institutionalize sexism in the church? Why does God disfavor women? And why should you?
Perhaps it was because Eve was the first to succumb to temptation in the Garden of Eden. At any rate I don't call it sexism anyway. That is political correctness on your (and others) part.
Sexism is discrimination against women. It meets that definition, political correctness or otherwise. Do you think it just to punish all women because of the action of one woman in what even you must concede to be a mythological source?
I believe in men and women having different roles in society. I believe I've made this clear more than once.
Weasel words. This isn't just "different", it is assigning a subordinate role to women. You're yet to answer the question of why you think the Almighty would want to ban them from speaking in this way.
Well, then you believe in an artificial construct created by Madison Avenue in the 50's and 60's to sell gender divided products. In the war years, women did factory work, and God didn't send hurricanes at us. Funny how that happened. People rebelled against it almost immediately too. "The Feminine Mystique", "The Man In The Grey Flannel Suit", and Playboy magazine hit the presses before the decade was over. So, Conservative Disneyland had a pretty small window. I'm telling this for other people, I know it's gonna bounce off your head, Dayton.
