chansen, You are too much of a dumbass too ingnorant to recognize that I'm not presenting MY evidence, but the evidence of feminist history scholars concerned with the rise and fall of female dignity and status in early Christianity. Some of my academic sources: Karen Torjesen, "When Women...

But when posters like you engage with insults they deserve to have their insults put into their place with evidence and with no apology.

Of course, 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 and 1 Timothy 2:11-15 are the reasons why many churches deny women a leadership role. What you insipidly call a "sermon" is just a rigorous presentation of the evidence. If you actually read both texts, you would realize that they constitute a "direct answer"...

The university cours on Women and Religion that I taught for years attracted about 65 students a semester. Most enlightened Christian women are delighted to learn about the awesome leadership role and accorded dignity and status of women in the time of Jesus and Paul. And I have already...

(4) LYDIA: THE FIRST EUROPEAN CONVERT: Paul's first effort at evangelizing Europe took him and his missionary companions to a women's prayer meeting by the little Gangites River just outside Philippi. The first European convert to Christianity was a wealthy businesswoman named Lydia. She...

A key issue is the line that divides telling people what they want to hear from what they need to hear. Put differently, how should tough love be applied?

Tell that to my BC cousin Lester!

Yes, and as Caitlin herself argues as a trans, trans, it is unfair to allow trans women in women's sports.

Paul instructs us to" zealously strive for spiritual gifts," but does not specify how to do this. One way I tried to do this as a minister was to give unlikely laity the chance to preach and run the service in my absence, when I had to attend conferences, etc. When I appointed someone shy and...

@ chansen: "Nearly two-thirds of those watching NCAA women’s college basketball and FIFA women’s soccer are men. Half of WNBA viewers are men. Half of NCAA women’s college basketball viewership are men 55 years of age and older, while one-third of WNBA and FIFA women’s soccer watchers are...

A giggle-worthy cliam of breath-taking ignorance! You just need to read more American papers. This past year, the news here regularly featured news of women's college teams forfeiting games rather than have to compete against the other team's trans player. 66% 0f Americans oppose trans women...

(3) PHOEBE " I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a minister of the church in Cenchreae. 2 I ask you to receive her in the Lord in a way worthy of his people and to give her any help she may need from you, for she has been the leader/ benefactor of many people, including me (Romans 16:1-2)."...
