I don't think it's sexist at all. God has given men certain responsibilities. Not even remotely what I said. In fact, contrary to saying that everyone should fend for themselves, I said that neighbors should be helping neighbors. Yeah, if you don't count the two major blizzards that closed...

I think it's great that you did that, but for us Christians, it's about much, much more than just tradition. Marriage symbolizes the relationship between Christ and the Church, Christ represented by the husband, and the Church represented by the wife. In Christianity, wives take the husbands...

The Church submits to Christ. Christ does not submit to the Church.

Well we know that it can't be about being called to be an apostle or a prophet, as neither of those offices exist any longer, so her point is still moot.

The happiest song about death I've ever heard: YouTube - Saw Doctors - I'll Be on My Way Followed by the most beautiful song about Mexican cockfighting I've ever heard: YouTube - Joe Ely - Gallo Del Cielo (live in Italy 98 - SBD audio) And one of my favorite songs, by one of my...

I've had that quote up there forever and nobody ever noticed it. Now, all of a sudden, everybody notices it. You're the third person to comment on it in the past couple of days. Glad you like it. If I can't edify, then I at least hope to amuse.

When I gave the Biblical principles governing how one is "called" and you said, "I want to correct you". And they weren't pastors now, were they?

It's about men's roles in the church and in the home. Hence, the title.

Have you even heard the expresion, "out of the frying pan and into the fire"?

That's what your husband is for.

Why don't you do us a great big favor by showing us where the Bible ever tells us that this is normative. Surely, for all Titus and Timothy tell us about the qualifications for a pastor, being knocked off your horse by God must be in there somewhere. Or could it possibly be that (a) Paul's...

I mean that, of the number of people there, a small number are of an advanced age. Nope. But I do believe they either own or have access to snow removal implements. Quite a bit, actually. From people like you who assure me that no more than 10% are elderly. By digging out the...

There is no argument. The Bible's doctrine is right.

The idea of deferring to the authority of scripture for our doctrine, or getting our doctrine from subjective and esoteric experience is a pretty serious difference. Accepted.

That's true. The conditions in Birmingham were far worse. True, it was far more of a challenge, since we actually had to plow our own way to their homes and were dealing with homes spread out over a wide area and not many homes in one neighborhood.

Depends on what you mean by "calling". The Bible talks about a general calling, in which sinners are called to repent, and an effectual call, which is the work of God's Spirit whereby convincing us of our sin and misery, enlightening our minds in the knowledge of Christ and renewing our wills...

But if you're going to claim to be a Christian, then shouldn't you have at least a passing interest in seeing that your doctrine is sound?

Then how do you explain the Bible's teaching that God speaks through the scriptures, and not through subjective, esoteric experiences?

You're right. I'm sorry. You were in a trance, not having a dream. Now there's some irony for you.
