The SBC still shows a little life. Maybe the worm has turned.

Glory to God for all things!

Wonderful to see that orthopraxy still exists outside of Orthodoxy!

How many sexes/genders does the SBC recognize?

1 Timothy 2:12: I permit no woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she is to keep silent.

1 Corinthians 14:34-35: Women should be silent in the churches.

Women aren’t to be pastors but they can teach and edify of course.

Example Acts 18

24 And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.

25 This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.

26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.

And they shouldn’t chatter in church.

I didn’t know the SBC does not allow women ministers. How did I not know this?

Five hundred years of splitting and splitting and splitting. Hmmm, not working out so well.

HOORAY!! Our pastor has been seriously considering taking the church out of the SBC for the Saddleback issue. Now he doesn’t have to waste his time.

“Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law.”
1 Corinthians 14:34 King James Version

I am a super confident political activist. I love public speaking. I am outspoken on many issues. I am a woman. I would never attend a church with a woman as a pastor. People will argue with me when I express this. I tell them don’t argue with me, go argue with God!

Seems to be a pattern with some men of God who get fame and stature over time. Solomon comes to mind. They start to think that they can play around with the rules God has set down because well “they can”. Warren screwed the pooch and has stained his years of otherwise good stewardship. The Day of Resurrection will be the day everything is rebalanced, until then the churches need to stay within the limits Christ and the Apostles thru the Spirit has set for them in terms of leadership of the churches.

“Sir, a woman’s preaching is like a dog’s walking on his hind legs. It is not done well; but you are surprised to find it done at all.”. ― Samuel Johnson.

8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;

10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.

11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

1 Timothy 2:8-15

Good job! Unless they want to go on the same slippery slide that tanked the UMC.

SBC expels Saddleback, 4 other churches that have female pastors - https://www.christianpost.com/news/sbc-decides-to-expel-saddleback-church-over-female-pastors.html “As stated in the Baptist Faith and Message Article VI, the SBC holds to the belief that the office of pastor is limited to men as qualified by Scripture,” stated Wellman. “These churches have been valued, cooperating churches for many years, and this decision was not made lightly. However, we remain committed to upholding the theological convictions of the SBC and maintaining unity among its cooperating churches.”
