“The ones that follow Scripture still do. “Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak” It can’t get much clearer than that.”

That is not really fair because in the Baptist church I grew up in the best Sunday School/vacation bible school teachers I had were women.

Some of the really lousy ones were actually men. Now mind you this was Sunday School and not church big difference but just goes to show women can teach the bible.

Exactly. Church vs SS. My best SS teachers were women, too.

Carter: "I personally feel the Bible says all people are equal in the eyes of God," Carter told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution at the time. "I personally feel that women should play an absolutely equal role in service of Christ in the church."

*****

Bible: 9Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments, 10but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness. 11A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness. 12But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. 1 Timothy 2:9-12

1It is a trustworthy statement: if any man aspires to the office of overseer, it is a fine work he desires to do. 2An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, prudent, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, 3not addicted to wine or pugnacious, but gentle, peaceable, free from the love of money. 4He must be one who manages his own household well, keeping his children under control with all dignity 5(but if a man does not know how to manage his own household, how will he take care of the church of God?), 6and not a new convert, so that he will not become conceited and fall into the condemnation incurred by the devil. 7And he must have a good reputation with those outside the church, so that he will not fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. 1 Timothy 3:1-7

********

I know which position I'm standing with and it isn't Carter's.

If you are not a member of this church, then why care? They are free to chose whomever they want and worship however they want.

That church isn’t knocking on my door, insisting that I worship they way they do, nor are they telling me I have to support them financially.

Discussing what they are doing is gossip. That does no one any good.

I can’t change other people I better work on keeping my own side of the street clean that’s what I’ve been experiencing in recent times in my life.
