Soldiers, there's a reason some people have equated modern-day feminism with first world problems.
Spend a few days in rural Afghanistan, then tell me how oppressed women in the west are.
The way liberal white women in the USA swear they're 'oppressed' is simultaneously hilarious, sad, and frustrating. But mostly hilarious.
Possibly the most privileged demographic overall on Earth. All the rights, extra privileges, yet still insatiable and demanding more.
@pbcmike98@ReformedBritt Oh yes, I tried long ago, many times. He refuses any reasoning or even reviewing the truth. He actually blocked me because I criticized Mike Bickle and Lou Engle, saying I was slandering them (no evidence provided).
Don't get me wrong, troops. I'm not sayin' women can't do anythin' outside the kitchen or some strawman like that... but Paul makes it clear the woman's primary function is around the home. He didn't have in mind mothers/wives who spend 40-70+ hours a week away from home.
A lesson in exegesis, troops...
1) If ya gotta jump to an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT context (one dealing with WIDOWS, not every woman), ya've already lost.
2) The word Paul uses is οὐκουρός, literally "homeworker"; some translate it "homekeeper". It's someone assigned to the home.
Protestant: "God gave us the canon, not the Catholic Church."
Internet Papist: "That's just what leftists say!!"
First Vatican Council: "God gave us the canon, not the Catholic Church."
Alright, soldiers, gonna gather intelligence on the crazy things I find from the Papist Platoon. (Sort of like what I did for the Beth Moore fanatics.) This thread will be a work in progress.
I'll add another round to my arsenal, and this may be unpopular, soldiers, but it's important...
Those celebrities? The ones who ignored warnings, who compartmentalized his faults, who minimized his errors, who mocked his opponents...
Don't let 'em get off the hook.
I'll say it once, and I'll say it again, troops...
The only reason most Calvinists gave Brown the light of day, rather than kickin' him to the same latrine as people like Jennifer LeClaire, was because he's buddies with Calvinist celebrities.
It is the Catholic apologist who made the canon to be be about the determination of the church hierarchy & now you want to move the goalposts now that we’ve thoroughly destroyed that position with history. But moving goalposts after being destroyed by history is very Catholic.
