Anyone want to weigh in as to women in Church leadership (any church)? I ask because it is a hot topic where I live. A local church is under some scorn for trying to keep women from being voted into certain positions.

Great question, JW! Thanks for jumping in.

This is in your response to the interpretation of Scripture.

angelo, here is where the confusion lies. True Sola Scriptura is interpretation via the Holy Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit revealing the truths of the Bible. It is the Holy Spirit who gives us insight. Now, the word personal interpretation is a little misleading because it implies that it is "I" who interprets and not the Holy Spirit. True Bible only, Scripture only Christians realize that it is the Holy Spirit that is responsible for the revelation of Scripture, and the fallibility of man that can screw it up.
