As to the church leadership question.... Pentecostals have always been much more accepting of women in ministry than most denominations. Try getting a perspective from the two largest denoms in the US/World - Catholic and SBC.

Exactly.
But don't confuse Daniel with the facts. It's much more fun to misrepresent truth.

This worldview is pushed in every public school system in America, so I am not surprised that you - a liberal NEA member - would espouse it. It is also played out in media at every level of worldview ministry. Males are always portrayed as stupid (especially white middle-aged males), lazy and fat while women are always portrayed as super-intelligent, super-strong, and hyper-worker bees. This all leads to a feminization of the American male.
Add to this the Hollywood worldview that kids are soooo much smarter than their parents and that parents need to ask their kid's permission to enter their room and you have a toxic cocktail of preflood Noahic perversion.

Once again you're true colors have shown themselves ... whenever this topic comes up ... you buckle ... in a crazed-induced diatribe ...
Did you even read when I stated in my original post that women are as intelligent as men ... does that not process???
My question is whether or not Apostolic men feel threatened when confronted w/ a member of the opposite sex that might be as intelligent, or even smarter than they are in other non-spiritual activities?
Keep your eye on the ball, PP?

Here's the deal Dan-o.
Your original post was unlearned and typical.
Why not ask if women are threatened by intelligent men?

Well then, my post (and my opinion) stands exactly as it was written.
Of course there's lots of different perspectives and the question as you presented it can be addressed from different angles.

Another troubling assumption is equating a college degree with success and/or intellect.
Not always so. My family was utlra conservative - shunned college for females and males and there are two (possibly three) of my siblings who run multi million dollar companies.
