Moderators lazarus Posted August 3, 2012 Moderators Posted August 3, 2012 Any expressed viewpoints must include ALL of the following criteria: 1/ No posts allowed to "prove" that women's ordination should be allowed. 2/ Only posts in support of the traditional view of ordination for men only, when it comes to Pastor, or Elder 3/ Your posts here must contain elements of personal testimony, personal Bible study, and experience, regarding the traditional views of ordination. What are the benefits of keeping things the way they are? What are the dangers/concerns about changing things so that women can be ordained as pastor or Elder? You are kidding right? "No posts allowed to "prove" that women's ordination should be allowed". I suppose you're saying that you don't want to read anything that may convince you in another direction. Quote Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence. Einstein

I'm pretty sure that's not what he meant. Besides Lazarus you left out the first sentence! Which kinda sets up what he had in mind for this thread.

olger Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Women's ordination is a theological issue, not a policy issue. We tend to forget this, in all the hoopla, my brothers. Quote "Please don't feed the drama queens.."

In case you didn't know: It was originally intended as a resource thread, then turned into an "anti" thread. Personally I would let it stay an anti thread where "they" can voice their thoughts and feelings without interference. It isn't like there aren't enough other threads going.

Personally, I can fully understand why. In this thread - only one side was allowed. Soon they ran out of support for their cause and it became just one side tooting their own horn. Very boring if you ask me. But now that it is opened up to Truth - I have no doubt that he will return. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won.

Administrators Tom Wetmore Posted August 5, 2012 Administrators Posted August 5, 2012 Women's ordination is a theological issue, not a policy issue. We tend to forget this, in all the hoopla, my brothers. Theological, until those in favor of WO show a theological/Biblical basis for it, then they are accused of policy violation, rebellion or liberal cultural bias by those opposed. But if those in favor of WO say the opposition is based primarily on cultural bias, or as here cite policy as a reason the union conferences can ordain without regard to gender, those opposed want to make it all about theology. But if it really is theological, how come all of the studies officially commissioned by the Church have not found any theological basis against ordaining women? Quote "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. (And finally, the ideas expressed above are solely my person views and not that of any organization with which I am associated.)

ANd it is not without effort - for they have certainly TRIED to find a theological basis against ordaining women. Year after year after year. Praise God - HE supports women ordination. But there is so much hate for women out there that their effort continues. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology. Â
olger Posted August 6, 2012 Posted August 6, 2012 God does not support female headship. Where did you get an idea like THAT? Quote "Please don't feed the drama queens.."
Administrators Tom Wetmore Posted August 7, 2012 Administrators Posted August 7, 2012 Ordination is not about headship. Being a pastor is not about headship.
