I was wondering what the general view was on this...I am not being confrontational, I am genuine in wanting to learn. I read on a post women should not take authority over a man etc. I am aware of the teachings on this and the conflict sisters have in the Sunday school for example. I am also aware of the Biblical teachings on authority. I think Bro. George said that men ought to step up to the plate...but, as in Esther, if they do not? also, I really do want to know about this issue on seperation to the point of shutting one-self off from the world, in fear of contamination almost..as in the Amish. Forgive me. Are we not meant to be the salt? I do not mean to be offensive. I just think if we are saved and we abide in Him...then we are safe. I need not have fear if I abide in Him and Him in me. Of course I need to protect my children, myself and I do. But if I am to reach the lost...I need to walk amongst them. Now I do not mean I should go to bars etc, that is not what I mean. As for education, is there scriptural teachings on a different level for men and for women? Is it wrong for women to become learned? and no, I am not a feminist either :) I am just a Christian woman asking for some teaching here...I am, what would be referred to as educated, even highly perhaps....I have just completed my MA and I am not ashamed of this as throughout I was able to give the Word and God gave me this brain and this desire to learn, I just need to use it for His purpose. We are all called to serve Him but I have not been given the oppertunity to be a homesteader. If I closed down, as some Sisters & Brothers do, I would never have reached the lost in the areas that He has through me. Please understand Bro. Ben, I am here to learn, I can ask these things because I feel I am with family and will get a straight answer. (hello Bro. George!!)
