This article also clutches relativism to its bosom. An example of relativism "Well THAT may be true for you..." As if truth is an internal construct.

Some truth is relative and some truth is eternal.

This is the old issue of principles and judgments:

Principles may be said to be binding on all at all times.

The application of those principles may depend upon time and circumstances.

The article cited by Tom was not about whether or not women should be ordained. It was about how we should treat those who disagree with us on that point. As such, I do not believe that the article taught relativism.

By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near. {5T 451.1}

...supporting the point of the article with your criticism, Ger. Maybe a reread might help.

"Absurdity reigns and confusion makes it look good."

"Sinless perfection is such a shallow goal."

"I love God only as much as the person I love the least."

*Forgiveness is always good news. And that is the gospel truth.

Read all three pages, baby!

Yep. It is ultimately a relativistic treatment of the issue, sprinkled with seatbelt similies and maudlin sentimentality. I will give her this. She is true to culture.

Yet such critique still seems to have missed the point and appears to evidence a lack of respect for the point of view as expressed by a woman…

Take another look.

"Absurdity reigns and confusion makes it look good."

"Sinless perfection is such a shallow goal."

"I love God only as much as the person I love the least."

*Forgiveness is always good news. And that is the gospel truth.
