| We will catch them, but we will not keep them Where do you get the preachers? Not in the seminaries. You get them from the harvest. Women are in the harvest. We make every effort to reach women, but we fall short when it comes to allowing them the full expression of their faith. The only place we will send them to preach is on a foreign soil speaking a strange language for a few years. It is hypocritical to send women to mission fields where they help start churches, and lead people to Christ. Even baptizing the new believers, and then when they come home to their local church, they cannot even serve the Lord's Supper. |
| "Remember you must submit to your husband. Even when you know he's wrong. You just have to do it, and then he stands accountable at the judgment." Is her husband the sacrificial lamb for her? He has no power to give her authority or to take it away from her. Women are accountable directly to God for their actions, and their salvation comes directly from God. Not through our husbands. Each person, man and woman, is accountable to God for their own actions. (1 Peter 3:7) Baptists believe in the priesthood of the believer, not the priesthood of the husband. |
| 1 Peter 3:7 The Message "The same goes for you husbands. Be good husbands to your wives. Honor them, delight in them. As women they lack some of your advantages. But in the new life of God's grace, you're equals. Treat your wives, then, as equals so your prayers don't run aground." |
| Lack of respect for women is an age-old problem. Peter affirmed that women are equal with the man, in Christ and in the home. |
| "I learned as a child that a husband is like a second God, that I should obey whatever he says," An Afghan woman was quoted as saying. (Associated Press - Kabul) October 3, 2009 |
| I am Loved, I am Honored! I am Revered! ...as long as I stay in my pen |


| Trying to fit a 21st Century woman into a First century dress It doesn't fit. It was never intended to fit forever. We educate our women today. We allow them to think and to work and use their God-given gifts. Today we know that a woman has a soul. We welcome our men into the 21st century, but we insist our women adhere to the First Century culture as is interpreted in the Baptist Faith and Message 2000 |
