@purplesiege08 @desiringGod Also, let’s think of what this is saying. If you’re a 2 on a scale of 1-10 on the attractiveness scale, you’re more likely to remind people of sin.
But if you’re a 9, you’re more likely to cause men to sin (in Desiring God’s eyes).
So women are just sin.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's *not* what Isaiah 3:12 means. And "stinging" is not the adjective I would have used to describe MacArthur's comments.
Here's some context on Isaiah's words.

.@60Mins airs @Hillsong exposé, revealing culture that protects its own while ignoring abuse victims. 2 survivors say Hillsong ignored their reports of sexual assault by church members/staff. 1 says Hillsong promoted her abuser after being told of attack. https://t.co/VPXe4WX8Nl
I don't believe in kids raised in the church having a "conversion moment" when they're little. Like...they're 5, they believe in God because that's what they have been raised to know as true, they don't need to "ask Jesus into their hearts" because they *already* believe in him.
Mike Bird's potent critiques of Kevin DeYoung's review of Beth Barr: (1) gaslighting, (2) ad hominem/playing the man not the ball, and (3) unbiblical masculinism.

In this short post from my archives, I look at what Paul meant by "A wife/husband does not have authority of her/his body" in 1 Corinthians 7:4, a verse that has been terribly misunderstood by some.

Thanks to some very poorly chosen words by a male pastor who is not backing down, female modesty is yet again being discussed on Twitter.
What do Jesus and Paul say about female modesty and male lust? (From my archives)

Nothing good--and I mean nothing--has ever come from a man on Twitter commenting on what women are wearing.
Literally no one wants to hear it. Not a person. Not a soul. Zip it. No, that's not an exception. Put your phone down. Bite your tongue. See? We all feel better now.
Hi everyone, this is Dan. It's with both grief and joy that I announce Rachel's final original work for adults, Wholehearted Faith, is now available for preorder. https://t.co/7xxpug7pOO
This 2005 article by @JeffSharlet & recent robust discussions about Braveheart & Jesus and John Wayne by @kkdumez reveal Christian views of masculinity, sex, women's submission & anti-feminism that pervade large networks of evangelicalism today. https://t.co/vzcebzocTd
Bill Cosby has been released.
This is terrible for all of the survivors involved.
He’s not being released because he was found innocent but on a legal error.
NEW.
Some Christians claim that submission is always to a person in authority. Wayne Grudem even refers to mutual submission as a myth.
In this article, I quote 4 prominent early Christian authors who speak about mutual submission among Jesus followers.

I've seen a few people share a quotation from an ignorant person who claims women couldn't preach before the invention of the microphone because their voices weren't strong enough. Phoebe Palmer is one of numerous women preachers from the 1800s.
