I think the problem is even more BASIC than what the author says. It is this -— NOT ACCEPTING SCRIPTURE AS THE WORD OF GOD.
Let’s remember the very first attack the Devil did on our ancestor — Adam and Eve ... PLANTING DOUBTS IN THEIR MINDS ABOUT WHAT GOD SAID.
“Did God really say....” (Genesis 3:1)
Once you start questioning what God said and rationalize, anything goes and gay marriage is but one of the consequence.
Agreed completely. And notice that original sin resulted from the reversal of gender roles, with Adam following Eve’s lead into sin.
Woman are poorly suited to preach the Word boldly, to insist on unwavering obedience to it. Their role has been as more of a peacemaker and compromiser to get everybody to get along. As a result, invariably, inexorably, any denomination that ordains women also embraces all manner of moral sin shortly thereafter.
Scripture, of course, declares that the “bishop” or pastor be the husband/man of one wife/woman. (1 Tim. 3:2 and Titus 1:6) So there’s really no question that women clergy are in disobedience to God’s Word. And that’s just the first step down that slippery slope to rebellious apostasy.
