John,



Happily Jesus was not one of the âChristiansâ who minimalized women.  None of us rally want that.  I donât agree with David M that women are intellectually inferior (even if I am), however I do think you can note that there are different I.Q. average for different races. (Mongoloids being smartest.) Some say that is due to testing, environment, etc., but I think it is true as an average for whatever reason.  For women, I donât think you can discount centuries of being beaten down by men.  Less than 100 years ago women could not vote in America! My own fatherâs mother was in that generation. Women rarely had to opportunity to learn to get any education then, too! How much history of female âintellectualismâ do you think you are going to find under those conditions?  And heaven knows how much worse it is in most other countries in the world. And, as we all know, this continues today!

 

HOWEVER, I must say that I do not believe in women serving as pastors or in positions of spiritual authority over men.  Also, I do not believe in women being in the military. (Even though my dau-in-law was a Naval Academy graduate.  She got out of the military before starting her family, though.) And I do not believe in women leaving their children to pursue a career, although circumstances might force it to happen. SO Iâm still very âold fashionedâ about women willingly putting themselves in danger or high-stress situations. I think it robs us of our gentleness, for one thing, to rub elbows with the hard world every day.

I totally agree.  Sometimes my words get in the way of what I am saying.
