The Mohler Amendment to the SBC Constitution

I’m having trouble with my posting tonight. Ignore my waste of a post.

Your response has zero Christian kindness or ethics in it. I now have a much clearer picture of your mentality.

Adultery is definitely abuse to the spouse who was cheated on.

Rape is certainly more than a woman regretting sleeping with a man.

You have no understanding of abuser psychology or how men in powerful authority positions can intimidate their victims. Some sex fiend pastors warn the women they exploit that if they reveal the ugly truth, it will ruin the pastor’s ministry and hundreds of people will lose their faith and go to hell.

Sometimes an abuse is so shocking, a victim can freeze emotionally and have trouble believing what happened. If they think they will be ridiculed or blamed for enticing a pastor, they can be slow to report it. Children especially can be mentally paralyzed and confused by abuse.

You simply hurl misogynist rhetoric at victimized women, belittling their suffering, so the patriarchal men can continue to denigrate women with their locker room humor.

You exemplify toxic masculinity.

Lol, I don't think there is a progressive tag you left out of that one.

More on that later.

Please. Adultery and fornication isn't abuse. Child sex abuse and rape aren't only abuse, they're crimes. If accusers aren't taking it to law, then it's not a "credible accusation."

Please. If it isn’t taken to the law, it isn’t credible? If a child doesn’t “take it to the law” it isn’t credible? Wow!!

And I don't buy the "hypnotized by power" or "shocked into submission" silliness, not in the IFB churches, and especially not in the SBC. Not with grown individuals. With children...actual children...that's a different thing.

You simply do not understand the mindset of predators. They look for people to abuse. They look for people that are vulnerable. They for people they can intimidate into silence.

No doubt, you will blame the victims for being so weak.

But what Feminists call "abuse" is every slightest absence of the most perfect grace and rectitude shown to them. If a man gets miffed, that's abuse. The preaching of biblical family and church dynamics is abuse.

I’m not an expert on what “feminists” believe. But you are equating differences of opinion concerning church polity with s:xual abuse. No one is making that argument but you.

A joke in the private men's forum is abuse.

If the private “joke” targets a particular woman known to the men, it is abuse. If the private “joke” degrades women in general, it is vulgar and condemned by scripture.

You can make the argument before God why it was funny, as we will all give an account of every word.

If a feminist regrets sleeping with a man, she was raped.

You seem to believe you are an expert in what “feminists” think. Are you a feminist?

Everything that makes a Feminist cry is rape and abuse.

Oh good grief!!

Peace to you

As you can see, they propose[d] to add the women thing right after the sexual abuse and racism disqualifications.

Seems they could have put it up in #1 with homosexuality?

Jerome, I believe that only men should pastor a church. Why? Because God said that is the way to do it.

With that being said, and I have said this here at the BB before, please do not lump Godly women in the same boat as homosexual men.

Homosexual men, who CAN be saved, are in their current state of practicing sodomy - an abomination before a holy God.

Godly, Christian women are not in that same category. If a religious political body is going to vote on not accepting women or homosexual men into the pastorate, for the sake of the truth, it must be done in a separate vote.

I agree. However, if the man in this instance is wrongfully accused of rape, he is defenseless.

Did you know that less than 20 percent of all sexual assaults are reported to police, due to some extent to the invasive and public nature of proceedings?

And rape cases are notoriously hard to try, in part because of the burden of proof; there are usually only two witnesses to the crime — the victim and the defendant. If the perpetrator swears it was consensual, it can be extremely hard to prove it was involuntary, especially if alcohol is involved.

Medical science will disagree with you on that. Next time, you see your doctor, ask.
