Sorry FCWC, I cannot apologize. For to apologize would not only be denying what the scripture clearly and repeatedly teaches, but it would also be to deny the very good way God is his wisdom has created man, woman, and church. I will admit that churches or pastors that spend lots of time teaching their men about women submitting have the wrong audience for their message. Men are to be taught to love their wives as Christ loves the church. Women are to be taught about submission to their husbands. As secular survey after survey shows, women ultimately want to be loved and men feel the need to be respected. It should be no surprise that the same God who created the sexes with these needs also ordered marriage to meet them. I cannot remove such a blessing from those I am entrusted to teach. I cannot apologize for such a gift.
CHRISTIAN FEMINISTS DEMAND APOLOGY FOR “TEACHING THAT DENIGRATES WOMENâ€
|
A group that calls itself the Freedom for Christian Women Coalition has issued a “Demand for Apology†from those who teach that women should submit to their husbands and that they are forbidden to preach. The group called out the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood in particular for its “complementarian†interpretation that says men and women “are equally in the image of God but assigns them complementary differences in role and function.†|
