Aimee has been canceled by the cancel culture that is modern evangelicalism just for stating that women should study theology and that there is one biblical standard for all genders. I'm not sure why she won't go the extra millimeter and state the truth that women can preach and teach to men, women, and everyone. I also don't like the word "biblical" because you can find biblical support for all kinds of ungodliness, such as the man after God's own heart being a murderous rapist and terrible, terrible father. When you use the word godly or Christlike to describe someone or something, it won't be describing rape and murder as Christlike. (YES, I HAVE HAD A PASTOR IN A LOFTY PLACE OF AUTHORITY IN A COMPLEMENTARIAN DENOMINATION TELL ME THAT THE RAPE AND MURDER OF A WIFE BY HER HUSBAND IS NOT REALLY A SIN AND IS A *BIBLICAL* USE OF AUTHORITY AND THAT HUMAN RIGHTS SUCH AS THE RIGHT TO LIFE DO NOT EXTEND TO FEMALES AFTER BIRTH! And, no, the other pastors, elders, and male members of this denomination won't confront him because they view him as having God-given authority over his parishioners and they can't interfere with the authority they view as given by God [it's actually bestowed by a fallible ordination committee, but they have a papist view of ecclesiology while claiming the opposite] ...... unless the pastor is calling himself a celibate gay Christian and then and only then do they have authority to run him completely out of the church ...... but if the pastor engages in criminal sexual activity or is a heretic over any other matter, they don't have authority to discipline him in any way because of their completely immoral and ungodly doctrines of male sexuality [men MUST not be celibate and MUST get married to a woman and MUST have lots of sex with her because sex is a need greater than breathing for men and that need is greater than any woman or child's supposed need for bodily autonomy and having sex with a wife will prevent men from having sex with another person and we know this because we blame our wives for our sexual sins and doncha know that Jesus had lots of sex because men need sex and are incapable of sexual self-control ... end sarcasm] and the "God-given" respect [which they define as authority] due those who own male genitals once they reach adulthood.)
Jesus said that we can judge a tree by its fruits. Does the tree of male supremacy and complementarianism and patriarchy have good fruits? NO, definitely not! Complementarian churches and denominations are full of perpetrators of pedophilia, domestic violence, rape, incest, and spiritual abuse and the members and leaders of these churches REFUSE to expel the perpetrators. They also REFUSE to quit associating with churches and pastors and parachurch organizations that enable this behavior. They yell loudly that homosexuality is sinful but they welcome men who rape and sexually abuse boys (and girls) and they protect these pedophiles aggressively and they are *proud* of this because it proves how loyal they are to the patriarchy! (I Corinthians 5!) The ones who say that they are opposed to the sins of pedophilia, domestic violence, rape, incest, and spiritual abuse sit on their buttocks placidly and do absolutely nothing because their beliefs on male superiority and authority are far more important than their beliefs on sexuality and the right to life. Are egalitarian churches full of the same sins? NO! The fruits are yelling loud and clear which doctrine is true.
Stepping off the soapbox, this is a decent stepping stone between ungodly complementarianism [male supremacy] and Christlike egalitarianism, but you need to move beyond her stated beliefs into the glorious light of God's equal love and equal gifting of women and children, to a place where you actually believe in the priesthood of ALL believers regardless of gender, age, race, economic class, ethnicity, and other artificial dividing lines.… (más)
