B/W Photodude Posted November 24, 2019 Posted November 24, 2019 More than 20 years have elapsed since a group of feminist scholars at Fuller Seminary realized that the truths concerning the economic Trinity (the specific roles of the members of the Trinity in our redemption) posed a threat to the assumptions of feminism. In a paper that rocked the seminary, these feminists proposed that any member of the Holy Trinity could have become the incarnate Son of God. In terms of inadvertently exposing their actual agenda, these ‘evangelical feminists’ let the proverbial cat out of the bag by reading the assumptions of feminism back into the Holy Trinity. By means of their proposal concerning the incarnation, in one fell swoop, they descended into the historic error of modalism. … Christ is capable of nurture, but the discourses of Jesus are filled with hard and sharp truths. His messages have a rugged, masculine feel to them. By contrast, female preachers tend to selectively emphasize and major in nurturing and comforting truths. This is not a malicious decision on their part but is very much in keeping with their divine calling of nurturing life (especially children). When was the last time you heard a woman thundering from a pulpit divine warnings of damnation and the necessity of fearing God? Have you ever heard a woman preacher, with neck veins bulging, speaking of the traumatic, hellish consequences of remaining impenitent? It seems that more than not, the liberal ideas of today that would have been considered sin in the past are supported. https://reformationcharlotte.org/2019/10/29/the-spiritual-damage-caused-by-the-rebellion-of-women-preachers-in-the-church/ It has been said that men more than women are pushing this women's ordination issue. Perhaps this partly explains it. In his book, Passive Men, Wild Women, Pierre Mornell observes that it is actually quite common for a woman to secretly fear that her husband is a ‘wet noodle’. And, in response to that fear, the woman may ‘test’ the man to see if he is overly pliant, like a good soldier boy carrying out her every wish, rather than assuming leadership. If he acquiesces, argues Mornell, it only confirms her worst fears—that he is a passive wet noodle! What Dr, Mornell uncovers in his book is that the female response to male passivity is often frustration and anger, manifesting itself in histrionics and over-the-top displays of leadership. - As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them.
