Traditional protestants may also add that St Paul teaches in the new testament (which is believed to the final words of god) that woman should not Teach in Church. He says this because in the
So why then, do many churches refuse women the right to serve as leaders? Why did God include passages of the Bible that restrict women’s leadership? 'Women should listen and learn quietly and submissively' (Timothy 2:11), 'I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner' (Timothy 2:12-14).
An argument in favor of complementarianism can be made from 1 Timothy 2:9-15. The popular verse that argues against the egalitarian view is 1 Timothy 2:12, which reads: “I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet.” (NASB) Paul makes a similar argument in 1 Corinthians 14 where he writes, “the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the law also says” (1 Corinthians 14:34) (NASB). Paul makes the argument that women are not allowed to teach and or exercise authority over men within the church setting. Passages such as 1 Timothy 3:1-13 and Titus 1:6-9 seem to limit church leadership "offices" to men as well.
Ultimately this movement would allow for a more meaningful participation of women in the church. A major aspect of feminist theology is ‘feminist hermeneutics’. Hermeneutics is described to be “the science and art of interpretation”, therefore, feminist hermeneutics is the interpretation of the bible, studied by biblical scholars, and argues against the predominately patriarchal nature of the bible. Although there are a variety of approaches within this movement, the most predominant are Liberationist theology and Rejectionist theology. Many aspects of Feminist theology also believe the greatly patriarchal dominated nature of the bible is caused by a ‘Kyriarchy’, which means that a powerful group dominates over and excludes a less powerful group, showing where the male dominance comes from.
Assess the veiw that woman are no longer opressed by religion When it comes to woman and religion there are many arguments that suggest woman are opressed and then many that say woman arent being opressed. Feminist are the main people who suggest woman are being opressed when it comes to religion. Feminist see relgion as patriachal ideology, which is where the men are in power and use religion as a way to get there ideas across. so for example they say man is made in gods image. So this patriachal ideology legitamates gender inequality where woman are concerned as women can not become higher leader in the church the highest women can go is to become a vicar.
With his support and work on the issue, the first amendment was added to the constitution declaring citizens were not obligated to pay taxes to the established church in order to maintain the church and ministers. Also the people had the freedom to practice their religious beliefs in whatever order they wish. With the first amendment separating the church and state from each other, many worried that religion would become weakened in America. However the results were different from what many expected. Even though many people felt religious beliefs would perish in the nation, Protestants grew stronger in unity as never before.
These scriptures can be found in 2King 9:30, Jeremiah 4:30, and Ezekiel 23:40. Makeup is a non-issue biblically and nothing has been said against it. God has made everything plain that he’s against so why wouldn’t he plainly make mention if makeup was a sin as well. Many religious people twist scripture to be convenient for manmade rules. There are so many other things that God is concerned with and makeup just isn’t one of them.
The church is built on Christ Jesus, and not on people. If the people are not ready to worship with us because we don't accept their dress and adornment, why then do we conform to theirs? It is better we don't pay attention to them, than bring them in, and at end corrupt thousands of our dear ones. I think it is better to have a church of two people, than have millions of corrupt and deceitful pretenders who go to extent of turning the Sabbath day into a funfair. It has becoming a norm - in fact, it is already a norm - today for the Christian woman to wear
There are a lot of people in the church who say that being gay, bi, or lesbian is a sin because it’s in the bible. Those people are wrong no were in the bible does it say that being gay, bi, or lesbian is a sin. What the bible says is “Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable” (Leviticus 18:22). My understanding is being gay is not a sin but acting upon those feelings is a sin. As a Christian myself I feel this discrimination is brought on by the lack of their knowledge in the bible.
Keith Atkisson BUS303 Business for Nonprofits Essay-Week 3-Christian Stewardship and Ownership February 7, 2015 Biblical views of Christian Stewardship and Ownership To take care of, oversee, manage, and guard from harm. These four terms are a clear depiction of stewardship. On the other hand, dominion, control, and proprietorship are the terms of ownership, and if they are engaged in, they then become worldly behaviors, idols and stumbling blocks and as such are in direct opposition to God’s will and his purpose. Though stewardship is seen by most church-going members as consisting of tithing only, scripture paints an entirely different picture of what is to be expected of each believer in his life. Many believers do not count the cost of following Christ.
