Defence of Position

Sherrie: Interesting how your post changed over the weekend.

You said that I was not attacked, but that I was the one that did the attacking. From your statement, I come to the following conclusions.

1) You are a liar, and don't care that my Pastor and myself were blasted on this forum.
2) You didn't read any of the replies to my posts.

To give you the benefit of the doubt, I will go with #2 unless you prove differently. But as I said before, I am through with this discussion. Each person that falsely judged my Pastor will face God for it, and it is between them and God.

However, my response to you telling me how to change, and that I need to grow up and mature is simply this:

1 Timothy 2:12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

This is why certain women shouldn't be allowed to post on a message board such as this one. They enjoy jumping on the bandwagon with men and preachers, and then think that they have the God-given right to tell a man, and in this case a preacher, what he needs to do. You have no Biblical authority to do this. I tried to speak with you in a professional manner, and then you tell me that I need to grow up and mature. I will not sit back and let you speak to me in this manner. You need to understand that you have no Biblical right to teach me, tell me, or explain to me how to change my life. It doesn't matter if you agree or disagree, according to the Bible, you have no right and no option to speak to me the way you did. What this board and the moderators did was wrong, and you telling me that you don't agree isn't going to change my opinion about that. You comments were and are out of line! However, I am willing to forgive and forget. Mainly because I'm not sure that the role of a woman was ever explained to you. I took my stand, and have no regrets for what I said.

P.S.
I asked the board to forgive me for posting with the second username before you ever mentioned it. Don't you know how to forgive and forget?

 

Not everything has to be "sweet". Sometimes you spread the Love of Christ by taking a stand.

 

Responding can be editing one's post, or making a new post.

 

Christian because you took that walk down the aisle one day. Being a Christian is an everyday sacrifice. When you assurp authority over any man, whether it is this board or elesewhere, you are in rebellion against the Scriptures. If you do not wish to believe the Bible on the role of a woman, then don't believe it. But don't tell me how I need to live my life if you don't want to follow the Bible. Anyone can follow certain parts of the Bible. I can forgive and forget my whole life, but there is more to being a Christian than this.

"Just certain Women? Well I am not certain women! I am one woman who is allowed to post on this board! And so you will hear me."
Here you say that "You will hear me." You are out of line, and have no Biblical authority to do this. This shows your rebellion against the Scriptures, and the same disrespect the feminist movement of today is promoting.
"I find you to be radically immature! And I find you to be a whinner! In my house we have time out chairs for my 2 year old grandchild, perhaps you need to sit in a time out!"
In this statement, you try to minimize my position as a preacher and as a man by comparing me to your two year old. Sherrie, name-calling will get you no where in life, and is anything but Christian.
"Maybe you also should go back and read your scripture some more! You will be amazed at what you read about women, forgiveness, forgetting, heaping coals, and about walking mature in the Lord."
I have read the Scriptures on this. I also know how unpopular the teachings of the role of the woman are. Once again, forgiving and forgetting are not the only traits of being a Christian. Sometimes you have to take a stand as a Christian. When taking a stand, sugar shouldn't be dripping of a Christian. Walking mature in the Lord? What about setting a Godly example of being a submissive, virtuous woman to your grandkids? Is that not in the Bible? Check this out:
I Corinthians 14:35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
Titus 2:3-4 The aged women likewise, that [they be] in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
"If I presented myself as a liar to you, then prove it! If you think by striking me you will bring out the big dogs you are nuts!"
I told you that I had come to 2 conclusions from your posts. You were "either" a liar or did not read the replies to my posts. I said this because you would have to lie to say that I was the one that attacked. This board attacked me. When I asked for the reasoning of this, I was attacked again. So you either lied about this, or didn't read the replies. As I said before, I will give you the benefit of the doubt and just conclude that you did not read the replies. Then you say that I striked you. If someone standing up to your rebellion of the Scriptures is striking, then I guess I did.
"I do not know what horse you rode in on, but threating me by using God will not work! There is a commandment....You shall not tempt the Lord your God! Go ahead read the scripture...its there! But then; Satan knows scripture too, doesn't he David!?"
I have not threatened you. I simply showed you the Scriptures, and explained to you how out of line that you were. I do agree with you on the second point. Satan does know Scriptures, and since women are emotional, they are to seek their husband or Pastor when they are learning the Scriptures. If not, Satan can confuse their minds.
"Now I have had enough of your immature games! All you have left to talk to is your church member friend!"
Once again, you show total disrespect. Your true colors really are shining now.
"If you are example of your church you speak highly of...I shake the dust from my feet!...and I have no more dealings with you...from this post on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I don't know if I'm an example or not. I try to be. But if you are an example of Christian women in our Baptist churches...well, we need more men of God behind the pulpits to preach on the role of women. Because that is where Satan is attacking our church and nation. In the home.

 

I never said that they didn't have the right. I did say, however, that they have no Biblical authority to do so. This goes for this forum, as well as any forum or church in the world. Of course, you can always rip that verse out of the Bible if you don't like it. I'm sure God would understand.

 

I do not claim to have authority over the women on this forum. However, according to the Scriptures, Sherrie, nor any other lady on this forum, has the right or authority to assurp authority over a man. You do not have to agree with my views, but I have Scriptures to back up my beliefs. What about you? Anyone can name-call and blast someone else.

Furthermore, we have not been rebuked. And we have not added anything to the Gospel. Your proplem is that you want to push every little dot and tittle until something interferes with your personal beliefs. Then, you claim that the Scripture I refer to was towards "the people of that time" or "such and such Church in the time that the Scriptures were written." Confrontations are nothing that we or anyone should like. But, they often happen when we take stands for Christ. We run into confrontations when we stand against abortion, homosexuality, ecumenacalism, the feminist movement, and evidently on Baptist forums. We simply state the Scriptures. Then we are confronted by the opposing view. Do I enjoy confrontations? Not in the least. But sometimes it is really tough taking a stand for Christ. Honestly, though, I would rather argue with a bunch of filthy Sodomites, than a bunch of Scripture bending Baptists. At least I know that the Sodomites are reprobates.
