Today on facebook some of my internet friends were discussing an old blog post by Sarah Bubar. I’ve posted a response to the article here because it was too long for a facebook comment.
Here are some misogynistic quotations from well-known church fathers, theologians & reformers that do not in any way reflect what the Bible says about women.
Some Christians seem to enjoy thinking and speaking about God’s Judgement, other Christians avoid the subject altogether. Both positions are a mistake.
In his 2012 book “Hearing Her Voice,” scholar and minister John Dickson argues that women can speak in church meetings: women can preach, exhort, exposit Scripture, prophecy, pray, etc.
When some Christians, such as complementarians, use the word “roles” (as in “gender roles”) do they mean “rank” or some kind of gender hierarchy?
Does the New Testament teach that men and women have different roles in the church Are some ministries too important for women?
Kathy Keller argues that women are prohibited from just one kind of speaking ministry and from holding one kind of position in the church.
Would you like to support my ministry of encouraging mutuality and equality between men and women in the church and in marriage?
