@JeanneB94593018@Ligonier The genesis of this discussion concerns women being content with their station in life while they are waiting to meet their husbands. We disagree in this apparently.
@JeanneB94593018@Ligonier You are begging the question and reading in where nothing is. You are the wife of an elder, right? With your ostensible theological disposition, I am surprised that you have engaged publically with such contention.
@JeanneB94593018@Ligonier I am not calling anyone an idol worshipper. I agree with the speaker that we should guard our hearts from allowing idols to emerge from what God has given us as good.
You must never have lived in Europe. My wife is Danish. When we lived there, we knew people in several types of apprentice and journeymanships. A cobbler apprentice must go through a 5 year formal education with study and exams. It is this way for all artesian trades. When you say modern liberal education doesn't help anyone, I would agree in the respect that a lot of degrees focus on worthless subjects like woman studies. My kids studied engineering. They work as engineers. That is not a waste of time.
@JeanneB94593018@Ligonier My commitment is to addressing unkind and harsh comments from so called Christians that serve no ministerial purpose but rather indulgent judgement based in self righteousness.
@JeanneB94593018@Ligonier Yes, and sadly, I think that is what is going on with LM. You can absolutely make an idol of Dutch theologians & their wives or parachurch ministries. I really do agree with you on these core issues.
@JeanneB94593018@Ligonier I don't think she calls them idols per se. I thinks she says they CAN be idols. There is a real epistological difference between the two.
You beg the question of blatant evil with no supporting evidence. If providing an opinion that differs with your is viewed as evil, you might have an issue of scale. Dictators, rapists and murderers come to mind when I think of evil. But you consider people who disagree.with you evil?
@JeanneB94593018@Ligonier RC would disagree with you. Look at the role his wife played through his ministry and continues to have as a board member today. RC just might say, "what's wrong with you mean and judgmental people."
@theVicarDrSyn@Ligonier Did she promote singlism? I heard her encourage women who want to be married in saying be content and productive while you wait for the Lord to bring you your husband.
@digitalcjc@spanglermt@Ligonier In Florida, a high school student can get a college degree while in high school for FREE. No debt, no tuition. Both my son and daughter did this. You find this sinful or ill advised?
@JeanneB94593018@Ligonier I am calling out bad and corrupt leaders. There is biblical precedent for that. Jesus and the Pharisees for example. Here we are having a simple discussion in Rebecca's comments. There is a difference.
@dad_advice82855@spanglermt@Ligonier When you ask, "What are a woman's moral duties and obligations to men in general, society as a whole" do you mean all men or Christian men?
If you jump to that so quickly, since you are an elder's wife, maybe you should as your husband to explain how Socratic discourse works in that people discuss their ideas in a agreeable way. What a poor witness Christians are to the world when they throw dirt at each other on social media. We unbelievers see this, they are reminded of why they don't want to be a Christian.
