So, are you saying that God sinned by appointing a women to have authority over men? There weren't other men in the world that God could have appointed?
Please Rev, you know better. Of course I'm not saying God sinned.
I'm guessing that there weren't other men that God could've appointed, because he appointed Deborah instead.
I think you need to read what I've been writing in this whole thread. I'm not disagreeing that women can hold positions of leadership in society. The WELS allows for that as well...but it also allows that some women, given the doctrine of the role of man and woman, may not be comfortable in that type of role and it's not what God intended for them. They are free to believe that as well.
I'm not comfortable voting myself, but I don't see the problem if another woman is comfortable with it. But we believe that voting within the spiritual matters is an exercise of authority and should not be undertaken by women. When women need a voice, we have several avenues. We have our husbands, we have our fathers, we have our council, we have our elders. We are allowed to speak up.
