One does not have to agree with one's position on women in leadership to show courtesy. At least two other people have done that with me on this very thread. You haven't.
As previously stated, you have said, point blank that my husband and I were not able to hear God's voice when we asked for guidance, and got it wrong. You also tried to make some connection between our misinterpretation of God's leading, and those gays who think God is telling them to marry......as if there were somehow a parallel.
You have not merely defended your position. You have belittled me personally. If you don't see that, the more's the pity.
You have strong views on Scripture, and I would greatly respect that, if you didn't combine it with condescension of those who disagree.
I'm very sorry I told my story on this thread, because I knew that there were people like you who would swoop down from 'on high' and attack. I was right.
I'n still assuming that you're a believer, so I'll see you in Glory.......and I'll avoid you on earth as much as is humanly possible.
btw, Esther was a Queen. I'd call that a leader, wouldn't you? And how does Esther's being a submissive wife negate her being a strong leader? You make no sense.
