As a Christian, I believe that we are all created in Gods image. That means men and women are equally valuable and equally capable. My opponent, Mark Harris, is out of step with this district and this century.

I can't believe we can't get a global movement big enough to tell them to "Sit down & shut the fuck up. You've done enough damage already."

(12,858 posts)This view of 'Biblical truth' has been a major teaching in the SoBaptist churches since their 2000 convention. Jimmy Carter left the SBC in 2000 because of this new emphasis. His statement explaining why he left was widely publicized.
This view is termed 'complementarianism' in Evangelical circles. Grudem, a leading theologian, even came up with a revision of the doctrine of the Trinity to support it. In this view, Jesus was not just subordinate to God while he was on earth; he was subordinate to God from the very beginning. This view is known as the Eternal Subordination of the Son (ESS). So just like Jesus joyfully is subordinate to God, women are to be joyfully subordinate to men. This subordination supposedly extends eternally into heaven.

Churches with this teaching do not allow women to lead congregational singing or to teach boys in Sunday School after the boys are 10? 12? Basically women serve in the church nursery and prepare the church dinners. Smiling joyfully all the time, of course.
