Should women vote in business meetings

TCassidy defined a church and who assembles there, which he limited to baptized believers.

TCassidy said: ↑
Yes. A church is an "organized assembly of baptized believers."

 

The point was not about voting in a business meeting.

 

The OP is about voting in a business meeting.

Ditto. You merely described a Church and Who assembles there.

 

The local baptist churches have been run by girlly men since the days they allowed Finney to influence them.

Widows and single women originally presented their views privately to a deacon or elder. Married women presented their views through the husband.

Paul was no fool when stating that women were to be silent in the gathering, be it the business or the preaching.

 

You must have missed the memo. We are now smarter than Paul. He was just an old sexist bigot. (That's how people act when its suggested we should actually follow his plain instruction)

 

I don't. You simply are trying to wiggle out of being responsible for what you said.

In your own words you described a church.
Fact is; it did not include the assembly of people "not baptized".

Duh. That is not what you said.

Your tactics are simply somewhere between amusing and pitiful.

I was amused at your original claim, your attacks against me for challenging your original claim, you adding to your original claim, and your continued attacks against me. All rolled up together....pitiful.

What is the name of your church?

 

Have you been baptized, Happy?

 

Thanks, however He and I are not buds, and his profile page is blocked from my view.

 

Yes.

Have you been baptized?

 

Paul's statements to the Corinthians were not conditional upon custom or none of his statements could be taken as factual by the modern church.

The matter resolves around one word, authority.

Just as in Eden, the enemy used the nieve woman to undermine authority, the same has happened in every generation.

The authority of the wife is the husband.

The authority in the church is the men (husbands and fathers).

The bride of Christ is the church, Christ's authority is The Father.

 

Astute observation!

 

And when the "order" is compromised, such as a deceased husband or husband who abandons his family or a husband who never fulfills his duty.....then what?

 

Such does not prevent the "order" for it is stated that at that earliest conflict (Acts 6) the Hellenistic women apparently appealed through the men and the men brought the matter before the authorities (apostles). The Hellenistic women didn't speak directly to the assembly even when they were not treated appropriately.
