The Persecution of Women in the Church

Who through the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit, opened not only their understanding of women's roles in church today,( although there are many Hispanic Pentecostal churches who still forbid women to preach based on what Paul wrote in the epistles). They also stood next to their wives whose struggles mirrored that of the feminine roles in our multi-cultural influenced society we live in. Most women in Pentecost history had no confusion over their ministries and God's will in their lives. They often harbored, nutured, and educated men in their schools they founded to bring forth the spread of Pentecostal movement. Praise God for the hindsight, foresight and insight into what HE is doing today!
(Call me long-winded, there's nothing good on TV these days).

Where have you been? As you can see I've been very busy. However, nobody is denegrating the womans role, I'm referring to the abuse of women in society and across the world today, even in the religious churches, ie muslim, mormonism, etc.

I don't "wear" anything. I am what I do, and I try to do what I believe. Only my husband and my family can really attest to what sort of person I am. I haven't mentioned "my" submission. In fact, most of my posts have been defensive more of the men in my life and their roles. But nice try.

What badges do you wear?

Good night all of you good people.
I appreciate your insight and intelligence on these issues.
I have been having some fun, but I haven't meant to hijack this thread.
I love you all in Jesus Name.

Miss Brattified's post struck at the very heart of the feminist's agenda, which is to mandate female dominance over males. It is not about equality.

The thread's premise is a thinly veiled attack on traditional Apostolic culture. BTW, I am socially liberal regarding standards, but I see the premise of this thread as pure rubbish. The original post demeaned traditional Pentecostal women in a big way.

For instance, my wife chooses to abide by a lifestyle that has nothing to do with Heaven or Hell. She doesn't dress the way she does because I mandate it. I do not persecute her. I do not force her or any other woman to live any particular way. Again, I am considered liberal by most posters on this board. Am I now persecuting women because of how my wife chooses to dress?

Absolutely not! The logic involved is faulty.
