Council for Biblical Manhood and Woman - a bunch of busybodies?

Looks like you are having a conversation with yourself.

Who's winning?

 

Why the attacks on CBMW?

 

If my wife said she was called to be a pastor, I'd have to ask her what her qualifications were, and when did she become the husband of one wife?

The wife is to rule the home, but the husband is to make the spiritual decisions concerning the direction of the home inregards to how to serve the Lord, when, where, and who to lead them in worship.

Is "The Gospel of John" (the movie) taunted by many as "biblical" using the tniv as it's source? Whichever source, did anyone else notice the plastic cup the ruler of the feast was given the "wine" that Jesus had done the miracle in changing the water?

 

Well hmmm...I've worked for and with members of the Council on matters for the Council. I can guarrantee these are not simple busybodies, but people devoted to strengthening the body of Christ. Have you read their primary text? Do you get their journal? Have you read extensively on all sides of this issues?

The text is replete with sound theological conversation about roles and how different we are designed to fulfill those biblical roles. They aren't trying to keep women under the heel of men, they are trying to counter radical feminism which devalues the importance of roles as given by God in the Bible. To suggest otherwise is misrepresenting their work.

As for your loaded question about my response to my wife coming to me as telling me she is called to pastor, I say Plain ol' Ralph did a tremendous job responding to the query! What are her qualifications?

Anyhoo...on the other matter of the TNIV, I have used a free copy I got as a member of ETS for several years as I studied both Greek and Hebrew in seminary and found the translation to be lacking in major areas. Particularly in their abuse of translators freedom to ignore or reinterpret various phrases and participles. I don't think the TNIV is an awfully good translation, and I'll leave it at that.

 

I would very agree that their position is most definately not based on control. This article http://www.newfrontiers.xtn.org/magazine/volume2issue9/article_index.php?id=269 gives a good summary of their position

I am not familiar with the council, but didn't Paul state when he said that a woman should not speak that this was his own personal opinion and not from devine revelation?. I never belonged to a church that had a female pastor, this is from my own personal choice. However my church does not reconize female pastors. I have seen in the bible over and over again that JESUS reconized women as more of an equal than others during the time of HIS ministry on earth. Jesus did not tell the woman who touched the hem of HIS garment don't touch me because she had an issue of blood, or make Mary leave while HE was teaching the apostles, her being there in those days was a no no. JESUS revealed who HE was first to a female, the woman at the well, and the first people to see the risen CHRIST were women and HE told them to go and tell what they had seen. It is just to me that women roles were about to change somewhat, however I am not keen on female pastors, but what if some of them were called, I mean I really don't know, but what if?. -------------------yours in Christ

 

go2church,

Knox, Wade, Crumpler and others have led you astray- as well as many others out there in Texas. Listen to the truth from some of these folk on here who are interested in learning and obeying the Word of God, and not re-writing it.

 

This is just an ad hominem. Where is your biblical support for attacking their position?

BTW, I was once a strong feminist (did not take my husband's name, supported feminist rights, was pro-choice, etc) and I find the biblical support for the CBMW's views compelling.

 

No. he said it was because of God's creative design and the woman's propensity to be more easily deceived, and those words were inspired by the Holy Spirit.

 

Paul said that it was his opinion that is it better not to marry. He did not say that was his opinion about women not speaking.

 

go2church,

"being a Clemson fan I wouldn't expect you to understand that..."

You cut me deep, go2church- and My Blood Runneth Orange!

I take it we are not on the same side of that fence either? As long as you are not a Gamecock, I can tolerate your moderate bent!!
