Re: "I implore Euodia and Syntyche"
I think if you knew what the comps argue it would make you sick. You better believe it. I went on CARM and was utterly flabbergasted. One of them was basically saying, in a nutshell, that everything strong and ruthlessly logical and based on reason is male, and everything fluffy and emotional and m...

Re: An apology and an explanation
Just when did Derrida write, Metacrock? Because I'm wondering if G.K. Chesterton had him in mind in Orthodoxy, when he wrote: "That peril is that the human mind is free to destroy itself. . . . It is an act of faith to assert that our thoughts have any relation to reality at all. If you are merely a...

"I implore Euodia and Syntyche"
Contrary to popular conception, Paul was not a man who looked down on women. Observe his admonition towards the end of the Book of Philippians: "I implore Euodia and I implore Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord, and I urge you also, true companion, help these women who labored with me in th...

Re: 1 Tim 2:11
Good analysis, Metacrock. I think it's very important to remember the context of this passage in a society where women were kept in ignorance. Paul's admonition that women are to learn is significant. So is that word "I." As you said, Paul uses the "I" when he's using his own authority to set out ch...

Since it's the same type board, maybe there's a way to use them here? I wish I knew more about it, but I don't. Sorry!

Reed, I wouldn't vote for Huckabee, but I wouldn't put it quite that strongly.
Maybe I should vote for Metacrock's yellow dog, too. Hmmm.

Re: Thought about Nontheistic Christianity
I agree with Metacrock on this. The Scriptures say, "You will seek Me, and find Me, when you seek with your whole heart." I don't see what we can do with that verse if it isn't to be taken to mean that anyone who sincerely seeks God will find God. Whether or not they understand that the One they hav...
