Feminism – Also Contrary to Common Sense
I was directed to an interesting video titled, “Fempocalypse,” by a Muslim blog. Here is the video: [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w__PJ8ymliw&w=420&h=315] The analysis seems to be basically godless (God is not mentioned, but Neanderthals are). The analysis, however, does highlight the fundamental problem that feminism is contrary to natural law – and we’re seeing that in the…

Why Men Shouldn’t Be Ordained?
I understand the purpose of the top-ten list at this link, identifying supposed reasons that no men should be ordained. That is, the purpose is to take some of the arguments against women’s ordination and try to turn them on their head. Ultimately, the list ends up refocusing us on the real issue why men…

No Women Pastors
It is crystal clear in Scripture that pastors must be men. It is totally unequivocal. Yet we still hear folks attempting to get around this: 1) Objection: The Scriptures are Culturally Conditioned The reason given for women not teaching in the church goes back to the garden of Eden.

One does not envy his position. Nevertheless, Pastor Baucham wisely stuck…

Biblical Institution of Patriarchy – Objections Answered
In response to an earlier post on the Biblical institution of the patriarchy, Ken asks (in comments here): 1) How does a Christian respond to the claim that such bible passages are sexist? That word is so full of loaded meaning that trying to defend against its imputation is like saying you support Neo-Nazis. Of…

PCUSA Draws the Line
Apparently, although the PCUSA will continue to permit women to be ordained, they have drawn the line at allowing practicing homosexuals from being ordained. (link) This is a defeat for the ultra-liberals in the PCUSA. I wonder whether this will bring a welcome split within the PCUSA that would extract the most extreme liberal elements…
