Reading an excellent 2022 book - How God Sees Women by Terran Williams, in which he describes "one-point" and "two-point" complementarianism. One-point complementarianism holds that females are allowed to lead men in church and society, even though wives are to practise some kind of one-way...

The new NRSVue, released early last week, removed at least 7 negative references to homosexual behavior that were clear in the 1989 NRSV. 1 Corinthians 6:9; 1 Timothy 1:10; Deuteronomy 23:17; 1 Kings 14:24; 1 Kings 15:11-12; 1 Kings 22:46; and 2 Kings 23:7. Here are the New Testament passages...

Josh Duggar Arrested, Indicted I feel so sorry for his wife, his family, and his 6 children. They didn't deal with this professionally when it first came out, but let the church (IFB) handle it. But that isn't the right way to do it.

***BEFORE POSTING TO THIS THREAD, PLEASE NOTE*** You are in the EGALITARIAN Christians forum. Complementarians and other gender hierarchalists who would restrict women from ministry often cite 2000 years of church tradition to support their cause. However, in a new book, William Witt shows...

There are many good lines in this post by Scot McKnight, but the one I highlighted above jumps out at me. I get so tired of complementarians claiming they believe men and women are equal. That line perfectly frames the reality of what they are saying. Has anyone read Giles' book yet...

Professor Cheryl Bridges Johns @cb_johns Tweeted today: Having more women in leadership cannot happen without deep culture change. Putting words on paper will not create the spaces needed. It requires a change in language & opportunities at the most basic, local church level. Here is where...

I read this story years ago. It broke my hear then and it still breaks my heart now. It is a powerful example of where patriarchy leads, if taken to its logical conclusion. And complementarianism is patriarchy. Have any of our forum members experienced anything like this? Or perhaps someone...

A recent trend among Southern Baptist churches is to cover up their denominational connection. Many people who think they are member of a "non-denominational" church are Southern Baptists without knowing it. A recent case in point is an announcement by J.D. Greear to his church that he was...

Hello All, I'm new to the forum, and wanted to say hello and post a little testimony about my journey to embrace Egalitarianism. I'm an avid Bible reader, and as I was reading one morning, I came across Genesis 3:16. To the woman he said, “I will greatly increase your pangs in...
