The Persecution of Women in the Church

[Sister Alvear]

Many Christian women have a place that God has given them in both the ministry and in gifts of His Spirit. If we do not accept this reality, we can make the Word of God of no effect (Mark 7:13). “For the Pharisees and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders,” Mark 7:3.
Tradition is the culture or attitude of an inherited belief. Jesus rebuked these religious leaders for holding more to their traditions than allowing the Word of God take effect in their hearts. If women are restricted from allowing God’s miracles to move through them then God’s glory and power will be restricted from doing His will to reach out to lost souls.

I've been in ministry 23 years, I know the bible like the back of my hand. Ignorance is not bliss. What you don't know can hurt you. Try doing a scholarly research on the Pauline epistles. There's a lot in the bible that is not God's direct word to us today. The bible is a series, a collection of books spanning many generations. God wrote His word through man. Man is fallible, God isn't. What part of that do you have a problem with? A simple study of the new testament manuscripts reveals error, some dating earlier do not have the same scriptures. Wake up dude, we walk by faith.

Tertullians comments so reek of homosexuality.He simply hated women and blamed them for mans fall.Sadly Adam did not stand up to his sin.That is what caused him the most trouble.He did not stand behind his choice nor
interceed on her behalf but played the blame game.Sad.
Jesus however the second Adam not only stood up for us on the cross but took
our blame upon himself.He is the ultimate man.The perfact man.Jesus is not
a responsibility dodger.

Whats in you will come out of you and it will reveal who you are and who you belong to. You and I have a human spirit that is either controlled by the spirits of the world or the spirit of Christ. The choice is up to us.

Yes WE wrestle with them, but sins come from WITHIN the man.

No your human spirit is not controlled by other spirits. You totally misunderstood the wrestling that Paul was speaking of. Man does not need a personal devil to make them do wrong stuff. All they need is a sin nature. Some men might be controlled by evil spirits but that does not mean ALL men are.

Man does not need a scape goat for doing wicked things. Man fell in the garden at the beginning and has been sinning every since with out a personal devil egging controlling him.

The heart of man devises wicked things'
Pro 6:18 A heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

To blame it all on the devil is to deny that man has a sin nature and that man himself needs to redeemed. All God had to do was destroy the devil and mankind would be perfect.

I have a question for you, since you feel you are a spiritual superior, enough so that you can judge a man you don't even know...have you ever sinned...EVER... since coming to christ? Ever? Have you ever done anything carnal? If so, does that mean you were under control of a demon?

I have so far discussed what you have said and not said anything about you personally, have I? Up until now I just assume you were another believer that has an opinion...an opinion I think is wrong or misguided or at least not well balanced. Did you have to include the insult? Im waiting for your reply to see how our future exchanges go.
