There was a time when Baptists believed in the Holy Priesthood. Now that we have had 30 years of teaching 'hierarchy' in the church, the congregation of lemmings think their popes can do no wrong. They simply do not believe it or if the facts are presented, they explain it away with cheap grace. After all, he is only human and makes mistakes. This is simply ignoring scripture and making up your own religion.<BR/><BR/>First thing is to get them in prison, we can minister to them there. <BR/><BR/>But Christa is right, as she explained on another thread, we talk a good game about protecting children but our actions both in the civil sphere (short sentences) and most shockingly in the spiritual realm speak of the opposite. In this case, words mean nothing. Children are the least of these and if the adults aren't outraged, then who will protect them?<BR/><BR/>The ones that really get me are the situations where Christian leaders write the judges and ask them to be lenient in sentencing sexaul predators. <BR/><BR/>As we see more and more teaching on the subordination of woman and the authority of men, within the SBC, expect to see this problem increase. Yes, there is a correlation. <BR/><BR/>Any abuser listening to Bruce Ware teach about abuse being linked to a woman NOT submitting to her husband tells us where their hearts are. IF you listen to him closely and for a long time as I have, he teaches men that a wife is to fulfill HIS will. Not God's, mind you...the husband's will.Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04723395060585207854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874123597623259718.post-5944668463681556632008-07-13T07:33:00.000-05:002008-07-13T07:33:00.000-05:00Anon 4:13 - I need all the help I can get.

Sometimes it's the <I>followers</I> who need to lead -- right out the door.<BR/><BR/>Catholics walked out of the church that wouldn't protect their children and wouldn't honor their wishes to have the truth brought into the open. They were right. Back when I was a Catholic (nearly thirty years ago now), I would have insisted that the church doesn't belong to the priests; it belongs to the people. I still think so.<BR/><BR/>The leaders won't lead? Fine. Then let them continue to not-lead a smaller congregation.Weemaryannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06329039927702839707noreply@blogger.com
