Women's Roles Within the Church Structure - 7

Part VII, from yesterday’s post

Through out history women have been senselessly, and hideously abused. Women have been treated with less respect than cattle in many parts of the world, even today. Through the Suffragette Movement, both Ms. Anthony and Ms. Stanton helped to restore woman’s self respect and dignity by fighting for what they believed were injustices toward women. Both were comfortable with whom they were and their mission in life. They sacrificed a great deal to achieve the goal set out for them. They were jailed because they dared to cast a ballot. They were laughed at and ridiculed. Through their efforts and others like them, massive inroads in helping to restore God’s original plan for women were achieved. Both Ms. Anthony and Ms. Stanton started an avalanche that can not and should not be stopped: Equality for women in the sight of man the way God intended it to be.

Ms. Feldon, the founder of NOW had her own agenda when forming the NOW (feminist) movement. I have been to their rally’s and have heard their intentions. They clearly do not have God’s intended purpose for women as their agenda. They want women to dishonor their marriage vows and raise girls to disrespect men. They want sexual freedoms that I believe would make Sodom and Gomorrah (two cities in the Old Testament that God destroyed mainly because of their sexual license) blush. The feminist’s are pushing for the killing of unborn children and they want children to disrespect and defy their parent’s wishes. They want everyone to believe that each person has control over their own lives and they don’t have to answer to anyone but themselves. Basically, there are no moral absolutes.

  1. One of the biggest lies that people in our culture have come to believe is that loving someone necessarily means agreeing with them. Too often as professing Christians, we either find ourselves accused of being "unloving," (when the fact is that we love the people we disagree with too much to condone their sin--we know where it leads!), or we sell our integrity down the river so as not to be so accused. The challenge for us is to let people know, loudly and convincingly, that 1) we love them, we value them, and we affirm their dignity as human beings, and 2) this sort of love demands that we be honest even when our convictions are unpopular. When the only acceptable demonstration of love or respect is agreement, the person who makes such a demand has lost sight of what love truly is.

  2. I agree with you 100%. When we are being pushed into acceptance of something we don't agree with, that's not love, but bullying from the other person. They want you to agree with them to validate their actions. When should be able to agree to disagree. We have to stay strong to our convictions.
