These a-holes don't care about the plain text of the law, up to and including the Constitution. Why should we care what dumb reality-eschewing rules they concoct? If they want us under their heels so bad, make them have to subject us with armed force. Make it their only option. Let's see what they'll do.

LCMS Lutherans won't roll over. They've been hinting the government has passed beyond legitimate government into something that only has to be obeyed due to a superior position. For example, a warlord isn't a government but you may be forced to obey at times due to xer power.

If enforcement of the gaystapo's agenda hinges around public accommodation, then perhaps it's time for normal folk to take their activities into the non-public sphere?
Make everything a club which requires membership.
Want to attend the church? You have to be a member in good standing.
Want to get a wedding cake? You have to be a member to shop here. Just like Costco.
If the facility or business is a members only club, then all that public accommodation bullshit goes out the window.
At least it should. But then we are in a time where the law means whatever the one in power says it means.

And like that the other clauses of the 1st Amendment are being attacked. So let's see where we are with the bill of rights.
1. No right to speech, no right to petition the government for redress of rights (campaign finance laws), no freedom of religion, no right to free association (see the fights against RTW states and then the Tea Party/Conservative groups hunting), no right to press, nor even right to assembly.
2. Let's just strike this one out because death is scary and people do bad things
3. Does anyone even know about this?
4. We can talk about the evils of the NSA programs and then talk as well about the government abuse of civil forfeiture laws
5. All manner of due process violations. Then there is the abuses of the Grand jury systems
6. The campus rape kangaroo courts just about say that this is a verboten right.
7. How soon till the idea that Jury trials for even civil suits come under attack for not holding the right opinion?
8. From the college kangaroo courts to the push for conservative opinion holders to be shot on sight or sent to an American Gulag.
9. The idea of a bill of rights is just icky.
10. Even mention state rights and you might as well mention sticking folks back on plantations and bringing back slavery. All hail the power of the federal state.
So yeah, I think we can conclude that the whole Constitution and Bill of Rights is passè and deserves to be subjected to the dustbin of history. At least to the liberal mind.

We had a transmutated check out clerk at the grocery store last week. Which, whatever. But my wife struck up a conversation because she's wonderful that way and this is still Texas, by God, and we're friendly.
Anyway I ended up at one point saying "no worries, dude."
As soon as I heard myself say it I started waiting for the siren to go off.
It's really not my fault if my amygdala decodes you as male and offers "dude" as the correct word to use in the situation.
And I refuse to have to add a whole filter layer to human interaction whose sole purpose is to actually distance us from reality in order to disrupt normalcy and more easily usher in the next great thing in social engineering on our way to Absolute Despotism.

Did my grandparents file a grievance with the local civil rights commission after they were condemned from the pulpit and church members harassed them because they had the audacity to invite James Meredith over to dinner in 1962? No, they left the church and moved from Mississippi to... Iowa, which was a lot more "tolerant" back then.

That said, the Left does not seek either; they seek the capitulation and punishment of their political enemies, Civilization and the USA as founded. Homosexuals, mentally disturbed people/transgenders and every other minority group that they can convince to be aggrieved are merely there tools of convenience to achieve their goals.

Exactly. And if you don't feel welcomed by a church, find another. People select one church over another for all sorts of reasons, and some are more welcoming than others. It's not a bigotry thing, it's a people thing - one person's comfort in a particular gathering is completely subjective.
No, this whole thing reeks of intentional harassment by the now lawsuit-happy LGBT activists. They want to intimidate and force submission to their worldview.

They already do.
Five priests in black robes, having duly examined the entrails of a chicken, declared that their own "enlightened" view of marriage was the only acceptable one throughout the land.
It must be embraced. It must be taught.
All else is rank heresy.
When does the state dictate Dogma.

And as I've asked before, why be all tranny about your identity anyway? Doesn't a transperson identify as a woman despite having a man's body and vice versa? Once they've made the transition, why don't they use the pronoun they feel they were born for?
I mean, why would a man go through surgery, hormone treatment, name change, etc, only to be called "xe"? I thought the whole point was to become female.

I mentioned this a day or two ago but I believe the day is coming when the government will establish an official, approved state church, something like the Three Selfs Patriotic Church in China.
This church will teach only state-approved doctrine. Other churches will be forced underground. Which means serious choices for people pondering Christianity. It might also mean explosive growth.
None of this will apply to mosques. Everything they preach, including murder and mayhem has the government stamp of approval.

Yeah, this is against pretty much 100% of our Free Exercise jurisprudence. I can't imagine it won't be struck down unanimously.
That said, who knows what the addition of a new radical to the Supreme Court could do?
Honestly, reading this from French, who refuses to vote for Donald Trump, and thus opposes the only available method of stopping Hillary from becoming president, is a bit much.
Want to see what true tyranny looks like? Give Hillary SCOTUS.

My (once Catholic) Dad was telling me on the fourth of July that Islam is not a problem, but Christians are. Apparently, he's seen TV shows that depict a huge cabal of Christians preparing to take over the government and force everyone to believe, or something. Pastors, ministers, and priests everywhere are firing up their congregations to begin exterminating homosexuals, too. It's only a matter of time, he says.
Where would he hear this crap? I know he watches MSNBC exclusively for news. Is this what they report all day? It's like they're depicting the Westboro Baptist Church as representative of all Christians.

Honestly, I don't care if you want to be an ass-pirate and sodomize your matey until the flies come home. It's disgusting, immoral and against God's will.
Now it's my First Amendment right to state that, whether you like it or not. Much the same as it's your right to lick some guys member in the privacy of your own home or play Smokey and the Butt Bandit.
But once you start to tell me I can't think or feel the way my religion or God instructs me to, you've become more then just a Pole Gobbler. you've become an anarchist and a nihilist, dedicated to coercion, subversion, intimidation and ruling by force.
At that point you've crossed the line and better prepare for the total war that would come to any enemy of individual freedom. Freedom's by the way you used as a ruse to intrude and steal those rights from other people. Which pisses me off even more that I provide even a small modicum of respect in the first place.
You want that? I'm very ready.

The theory of 100% subjective self-identification of gender is bizarre and (for obvious reasons) totally un-scientific. The embrace of this radical theory in such a short time span, to the point that better competing theories are now regarded as bigoted, is utter lunacy.
Polite accommodation of people in highly unusual predicaments, such as the intersexed, has now turned into a MANDATORY accommodation of every eccentric oddball's decision to role play all day long. It's as if I were being required to continue calling my friend "High Cleric Balthazar" at all times even when the Dungeons and Dragons session was over. I'm not going to call you High Cleric Balthazar in court or in church, and I'm not going to join your role playing gender fantasy unless you have something other than subjective self-identification to back that up, and that doesn't make me a bigot.
I have a different and much more objective theory of gender than they do, that's not oppression, that's called "independent thought".

222 I mentioned this a day or two ago but I believe the day is coming when the government will establish an official, approved state church, something like the Three Selfs Patriotic Church in China.
This church will teach only state-approved doctrine. Other churches will be forced underground. Which means serious choices for people pondering Christianity. It might also mean explosive growth.
None of this will apply to mosques. Everything they preach, including murder and mayhem has the government stamp of approval.
Posted by: Northernlurker at July 06, 2016 03:42 PM

I agree with everything you say, except I don't think it will be ONE Church. There will be several denominations and churches that will be state-approved, the ones that put Mein Kampf on the altar, metaphorically speaking.
The orthodox churches will go underground, one way or another.

Hey. She is a business genius. She traded cattle futures for just a few months and turned a $10,000 investment into $100,000. I bet Chris Christie can't do that. I bet you can't either.
The thing that I don't understand is that Hillary Clinton claims that her family was broke after they left the White House. You would think that with her phenomenal talent in the futures market that she would have just done some more trades in the cattle futures market to make some money, even if she found it so boring that she had quit after a few months the last time. I mean, family duty means working at a job that bores you when your family needs the money.

Genuine "Trans" people are mentally ill, quite rare, and suffer from a high suicide rate. An obvious question: how many trans sufferers actually asked for any of these absurd measures on their behalf.
Maybe it's like the Redskins naming outrage scam. A poll showed that 90% of actual American Indians are not offended by the name (a name which is actually a compliment anyway, since three of the players at the team's founding were Amer Inds and the name immortalizes that). A few selected 'activists' were dredged up from somewhere, and off went the propaganda machine and the crowds of celebrity lemmings to erase American Indian sports history on behalf of non-victims who never asked for it.
There was an actual trans guy at my last job, had the surgery, hormones, etc. He's a scientist, very accomplished, does his job, returns value to the company, and actually had a marriage and children before changing. He never made these sorts of demands. Just did his thing and asked for nothing special. I regarded him as someone with a medical condition that statistically at least, puts him at risk.
For whatever value anecdotal evidence has.

>>Not in DeCommio's NYC. They can fine you
Here's the thing about De Blasio's transgender law - a good portion of the listed "gender identities" are related to how people dress, such as: cross-dresser, drag queen, butch. Which means....their gender identity can change with a change of clothes. Today I'm in a dress, so call me "Lola" and use female pronouns. Tomorrow, I'll wear chinos, so you now must call me "Maurice" and use male pronouns. How on earth is someone supposed to be legally responsible for keeping track of this moving target in order to use the proper pronouns each day?
Also, I think this is to intentionally expand the people covered by the law, since true transgenders - the people who are actively in the process/completed the process of having gender reassignment - is a very small portions of the population. By including all the cross-dressing people, as well as special snowflakes who declare themselves something like "gender gifted" this give many more people the opportunity to sue/harass people for "mis-gendering" them.

I'm the guy who stormed out on the last pastor we had because he was preaching motherfucking communism and divine right of kings from the pulpit because he wanted to do a happy dance over the Robert's first obamacare ruling.
Aside from being a member of the congregation, I don't really think of myself as a Lutheran as the whole left-handed kingdom of God doctrine is hopelessly irreparable bullshit.

Your freedom of expression, including relgious express is gone.
You will be denied employment because you said something politically incorrect, since the mere presence of a H8r will be considered "workplace harassment"
You will be denied service because you said something politically incorrect, since failure to kick you out will cause "workplace harassment".
They will say that you are still free to say and worship as you want, but that doesn't protect you from the "consequences" of your actions because businesses are private and that they are free to associate with you or not... and they will say this with doublethink working in overdrive...

It cuts to the very marrow of reality itself.

"In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is...in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to."

Yes. To stop the mindless hate too many feel free to spew.
It's simply a power thing,. Maurice, because there are plenty of churches whichwill perform marriages for gay people. Throw a stick in any large Metropolitan City and you will find them and in small cities too. Churches that have rainbow flags outside their sanctuaries will generally do it. So why force the RCC or the Orthodox Church or the LCMS or the Orthodox jewish congregations, etc to perform weddings? Heck you can find people on the internet who willl gladly perform a wedding for anyone if you pay them enough money.

When we've voted on stuff like this in the past we've held the line (most notably the old pastor had this hot new idea that instead of overseeing him, every board should *answer to him* that was one vote short the second time he pushed it), but I keep looking around and seeing more new faces and fewer of the old ones I had confidence in.

@289 What we would label as "cross-dressers" aren't the ones with the bizarre theories about gender identity. This new wave of nonsense is being fueled by the radical left kiddos on Tumblr and places like that, who've merged gender identity theory with a hodge podge of bad sociology and even worse psychology. Crossdressers are typically older, and may have female personas but don't "identify" as women, at least not in the quasi-mystical way that the gender-obsessed trans* activists do. Ditto for "drag queens", who are basically just crossdressing performance artists. Those groups are men doing an activity that involves female clothing and costumes.
The ones who'll get offended at being "misgendered" are the transgenders, who have a huge commitment to gender essentialism and a fragile self___. Piercing the bubble of their belief that they are the gender they claim to be shatters their illusion, and they are in most cases using the gender role play illusion to compensate for whatever their actual problem is.
In the early days of internet chat, Usenet and the like, it was common on boards with a lot of teens to find a ton of self-diagnoses of bizarre psychiatric disorders. It gets attention, mostly garners support and sympathy, and makes you seem unique if you don't have anything tangible to make you unique. The rise of transgenderism on the internet is just the new wave of that, mostly.

Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod. There are a couple of synods that have been consistently more conservative than us, but we're barely big enough to show up statistically, and I guess they aren't.
At least, I mean in reference to the party affiliation chart in the ONT a few nights back. I suppose it's nice that we we're fourth on the list, but we're headed the wrong way at the congregation level (at least from what I see), but Roman Catholics (which I assume included everyone who calls themselves such, not regular attendees who would have ranked quite well by themselves) were indistinguishable from the general population, and there are as many of them as everyone else on the list combined.

I'm a member of an LCMS congregation. I'm the
guy that spends an hour of Bible study for two weeks in a row arguing
with the pastor why he can't pretend away scripture due to cultural bias
just because he wants women serving Communion, which would put them on
the Board that is supposed to be providing oversight to him.

A common position, and one actually at odds with Paul, to say nothing of Christ Himself.
A thorough study on the original Greek and the nature of Paul's letters are required at this point. Paul did not believe nor did he say in his original letters that women were subject to men in general, and his description of marital responsibilities was revolutionary at the time.
You are in error in this point, and do no favors to anyone in the congregation in pursuing it.

For those interested in the role of women in the Church, and how Paul's original model (more accurately, Christ's) has been subverted over the past couple thousand years, I would recommend beginning with the book What Paul Really Said About Women by John T. Bristow. Another good starting point would be a long document at christianthinkthank dot com under Series, Syllabi, and Larger Studies.
The field of this study is much larger than either of these two works, but they will make for an excellent jumping-off point. I would greatly encourage anyone and everyone to read these documents in detail and with a prayerful spirit. >.> This is important stuff.

Paul was in the habit of sloppily passing his opinion off as God's. As such anything he asserts must be checked against other scripture in order to determine that it's valid. God never put women in authority aside from the direst of circumstances (Deborah) and even then it was solely for the purposes of humiliating the men into flying right.
The idea that women are equal, which is to say, interchangeable with men, and suited for all the tasks we were created for, is not of God but of Satan's kingdom. It is one of the great sources of ruin in this country (universal suffrage), a fact that could easily have been predicted from its nonsensical nature.

He did say that men cannot be subject to women. Because of course actual men won't tolerate such a circumstance.
Take a look at every other denomination that has patted itself on the back for promoting the authority of women, whether it's deaconesses or pastors. Every example I can find has abandoned God in order to seek the world's favor. I don't believe for a moment that these are unrelated.
In any case the fact that this is being pursued *for the purpose of demonstrating how modern we are* is itself a desecration of the sacrament of Holy Communion as it subjects the sacrament to subservience to the World's values.

I've mentioned it before, but for a foretaste of what is coming, we have to look back at the Mormon Persecutions. Look at what the Feds did to the Mormons when they (the Mormons) were out of step with what the Fed's thought marriage should be.
The Mormons lost their church; their right to vote, hold political office, serve on a jury, even the right to not testify against your spouse.
All legal, Constitutional, and upheld by the Supreme Court. In the 1800's, when people actually respected the freedom of religion. The decision stripping Mormons of the right to vote? Davis v. Beeson? 9-0.
If the Court did that back then... think about the chances of Sotomayer, Kagan and the gang standing up for a Christian now. There isn't a chance.
The Mormons had to literally go underground; moving in the dead of night, etc. We will probably see this happen again, except this time all conservative Christians get to join the party.

Further if you tolerate a pastor arguing that *some* scripture is in error due to cultural bias, then where does that end? How much else of the Bible ought to be thrown away because it's personally inconvenient?
Or is the cultural error in the Bible somehow exclusively concentrated on this one particular topic?

Equality between the sexes is of the Devil. Never yet have I heard that one. I would also at this point begin quoting some aspects of the books I mentioned, as well as make mention of Peter obviously seeing Paul's writings as on par with other parts of Scripture, but you've gone to an area where you are now cherry-picking what Scripture is legitimate and what is actually extra-Scriptural writings. If you want a new canon convention, just say so. But even that aside...
The "women's studies" department thing and the universal suffrage concept changes everything. You flew way past "honest disagreement" and into flatout misogyny there.
There's little point talking at all with a man so far from God's heart about matters of the Spirit. >_> You are a man desperately in need of a changed heart, and I will pray that you find it soon.

Delurking to say this to Fenelon: at least one jurisdiction of the Orthodox Church (ROCOR - the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia) has, AFAIK, already stopped signing marriage certificates. You have to get married civilly and then come to the church for your real wedding. I expect my own jurisdiction, OCA, to follow suit. This makes the wedding into a purely religious event.

that government were founded by (ordained) and exist to do God's work
and therefore we must obey it. That is certainly false, and I'd guess a
product of his pridefullness in being a Roman citizen. In any case that
flatly contradicts God's direct opinion on the topic in first Samuel

the desire to have a king like everyone else flows from the fact that
they have turned their backs on Him. It could not be more clear that
neither their desire for a king nor the other kings of the day had
anything at all to do with God. He then warned them that they'd be
punished with the disastrous Saul. Even David, a man after God's own
heart, was frankly a hot mess.As an American you ought to know

I've specified that Scripture must be interpreted with scripture, which
was a pretty standard, at least among Lutherans, approach to
understanding it. At least before folks decided that finding favor with
progressives was more important than knowing God's truth.Maybe I
wasn't specific enough, but my beef with Paul is his baseless assertion
that government were founded by (ordained) and exist to do God's work
and therefore we must obey it. That is certainly false, and I'd guess a
product of his pridefullness in being a Roman citizen. In any case that
flatly contradicts God's direct opinion on the topic in first Samuel
when Israel is falling into the sin of human government. He says that
the desire to have a king like everyone else flows from the fact that
they have turned their backs on Him. It could not be more clear that
neither their desire for a king nor the other kings of the day had
anything at all to do with God. He then warned them that they'd be
punished with the disastrous Saul. Even David, a man after God's own
heart, was frankly a hot mess.
As an American you ought to know
that this is inevitably the case because God doesn't create any of us to
fill the role that the lost people who desire government want that
government to play. That's part of the point of the line about us *men* being
created equal-a rebuke to the unGodly idea of Divine Right.

The "women's studies" department thing and the universal suffrage
concept changes everything. You flew way past "honest disagreement" and
into flatout misogyny there.
---
I assume by that you mean you have no counter examples for
where those things have not been disastrous calamities which have
expanded leftist influence.
Regarding the Women's Studies
bit, look, I don't trust anything that has come out of academia in my
lifetime because it's stacked exclusively by leftists looking to
proselytize. That makes 'new' interpretations of scripture especially
suspect, particularly when, wonder of wonders, they fall in line with
standard leftist dogma.
---
You are a man desperately in need of a changed
heart, and I will pray that you find it soon.
----
I had something snarky here, but I think it shall suffice to say
that you really shouldn't assume you know who you've picked a fight
with when it's over the internet. I can stand alone in an argument
against a Lutheran pastor because my congregation knows me and knows my
heart.

Happy to help with armed security for the churchgoers.
If the Feds act as anti-Constitutional thugs, they deserve to be dealt with extreme prejudice.
They are supposed to know better.

The whole of it was apples to oranges and a complete evasion of his indefensible and unScriptural commentary earlier. But perhaps this is best; seeing how the first word out of your mouth is Aquinas (and I'd wager Tertullian and Augustine are not far behind) I am not surprised that your philosophies skirt near to the Stoics.
The only question left in my mind is if you also believe that beehives are led by a king bee, and if sperm flows from a man's head. O_o I look forward to seeing your thoughts in coming days...
A question, and then I'm back to other things, if anyone is still reading this. Do you agree that in Christ there is neither Jew nor Greek, male nor female? If so, are Gentiles interchangeable with Jews, or not? If so, square that with Amos 9. If not, why then are women to be 'non-interchangeable' in that disgustingly flaccid reply Methos posted above, but Jews and Greeks are, and in the same sentence?

That surely cannot be the case. That surely cannot be the case at all.

I do not think those words mean what you seem to think they mean. You objected to a specific comment I made about Paul and his habit of opining rather than stick to God's truth. Thus I responded directly and unevasively to your comment by explaining my complaint of Paul with a specific reference (okay it's 1 Samuel 7 or 8, if you're being picky, and you seem to be a picky person) showing him to be wrong. That would normally be considered a "defense" of my earlier comment. A Scriptural defense, one might even say.

Well you could have saved me some time and given the reference to Galatians 3, but then I suspect you're one of those people who prefers to have a vague memory of stuff that's in the Bible somewhere that sounds like it supports you.
That passage (which starts at verse 22 and continues into the following chapter if anyone's interested) has nothing at all to do with equality as it's popularly used today. We are equal heirs of Christ not because we are equal, nor our sins equal (Luke 7:36-50 those who are forgiven more love more in response, or Mark 2:17 as a matter of spiritual triage [or possibly sarcasm]), but our sentence equal (damnation is the only one available) and therefore the setting aside of that sentence equal. I frankly don't think we'll be equal in eternity (Matt 25:14-28, the parable of the talents) though that doesn't have anything to do with gender, just what God evaluates as 'trustworthy in little things'.
Of course Galatians was written by Paul so this is where I point to previous wariness with him.
I have no idea what you think Amos 9 has to do with any of this.

It is not. I mean his baseless belief in the divine ordination of all government, which is somewhere in the later chapters of Romans.
Which ought to be clear from my citation of God's tangential, arm's length participation in Israel's fall into human governance as a counter to Paul's position.
You know, as that has nothing at all to do with gender roles. Well aside from all the trouble Israel and its kings in particular got into because they kept marrying the locals.

o.o I had assumed you'd know the reference since I was talking about the Stoics. Socrates had talked about bees in his insect studies; this is also referenced in that book I said you should read; you can find the story elsewhither as well.
Socrates believed the bees to be led by a king bee, because of the obviousness of male superiority to he and others in Greece. Thousands of years later, of course, we know the truth, but people like you still cling to philosophers who in turn clung to pagan philosophers for their understanding of the world around them, which is hardly, by any stretch of the imagination, compatible with sola scriptura.
I have no idea what you think Amos 9 has to do with any of this.
Equality before God. A topic you seem unconcerned with; and for good reason, you would seem to be in a good position in your worldview!
In specific, Amos 9:7 states "Are not you Israelites the same to me as the Cushites?" declares the LORD. "Did I not bring Israel up from Egypt, the Philistines from Caphtor and the Arameans from Kir? which is why I brought it up. You, of course, have already countered that I am good at vague references to verses that would seem to back me up, yet have not even the capacity (or will) to read the items yourself and discern why it might be relevant.
The subordination of women in Christian leadership is literally the only church policy founded on one verse. Comparing scripture with scripture is, as you boldly declared is necessary, robs you of your already tenuous foundation because you have no other material with which to work, but for the ramblings of ancient philosophers whose thinking is clouded by pagan heresy.
All of this is pointlessness, though, as you have already repeated your belief that Paul's writings are suspect at best, due to his particular worldview. >.> Worldview is exactly what we're discussing here, though, and the invalidity of yours, which in MY worldview, exacerbates the problems in our churches in this era because you cling to traditions that actually have neither root nor place in the body of Christ.
Put bluntly, you're an intellectual coward who wants to maintain his place in the hierarchy, and put blame on the woman for the world's ills, just as Tertullian did in blaming Eve for corrupting the noble Adam, when it was obviously Adam who made his own decision! This is doubly problematic because, in your worldview, Adam was the leader between the two, and as we both know from Scripture, those who lead and teach suffer greater punishment and greater responsibility!
Hmm. Argument by attempted emotional manipulation. Ima give that a 1.5
By which you feign an aura of reason.
You have no foundation in any of this, nor Scripture to back you up but for that particular verse in 1 Timothy. All you have is male ego and your philosophical forebears, who likewise had no idea what they were talking about. There's really nothing to talk about if you're going to say that Paul didn't really know what he was talking about, and that his writings are suspect, and then basing your philosophy about women's roles in church off of a piece of his own writing. Lay aside that it is a verse under contention; you yourself say you do not entirely trust Paul, yet because this jives with your desired worldview, you accept it without question!
It is obvious to me from your earlier refusal to even glance at the materials I gave you, immediately condemned as feminist claptrap, that you are a man with whom reasoning will never work. I think you wilfully foolish and treading dangerous ground in saying that those in honest disagreement with you walk in Satan's works.

A question, and then I'm back to other things, if anyone is still reading this.
I read this discussion, Kinley, and I found it interesting. (I always find your remarks interesting) I don't get involved in debates about the ordination of women because I gave that up long ago as it doesn't change anyone's mind and just tends to make people angry. I appreciate your arguments, however. and I agree that saying someone is a tool of Satan simply because they believe in the ordination of women- while knowing nothing very about their view of the Lordship of Christ and submitting to that as well as their view of discipleship-is troubling.

Like He did later in Judges when He refused to even hear their prayers.
It is nonsense to believe God has no favorites or even preferences. He calls Israel the apple of His eye. He called David a man after His own heart. In discussing the Christian church, Jesus gave a parable of a rich men who's friends didn't show up for his party so He gathered whatever riff raff he could find just to fill his banquet.

It's not one verse, it's the entire Bible. It didn't need to be said because there are basically no women in significant leadership roles in the entire book (aside from Deborah, whose entire point was humiliating the men into manning up). There were plenty of important things to do which they did, but none as leaders. The only Queen who ruled alone was an usurper who was properly put to death for her actions. There were no women among the 12.

Ah yes, this all comes down to your hysteric hatred of the Patriarchy what done you wrong. Somehow. I have no interest in office high or otherwise in the church, but because I will not bow to your demands, I must be the villain in your petty little drama.
That is a nice little attempt at pre-emption by the way. Your masters have taught you well. Because while folks of your bent like to pretend Adam and Eve were originally equal, he had the duty. He was the one God assigned to name everything. The only time Eve demonstrated initiative was doing the serpent's bidding. And we all continue to bear the cost of what *they* did, men in the roles that are appropriate for us, and women in the role that is appropriate for you.

I don't think it would be any more enlightening than reading an East Anglia paper on "climate change" or a SPLC report on "right wing hate". There is only so much time in the day or over the course of one's life that things which are clearly wastes of time ought be discarded.
----
I think you wilfully foolish and treading dangerous ground in saying

Yes because if there's one thing we can all be safely assured of, it is that the assumptions of a culture that slaughters a million babies every year on the altar of "women's rights", that considers sodomite marriage a 'right', that has tempted half its population into government dependency, and to that end has run up now around $20 trillion in debt rather than make any decisions, are somehow more Godly than those He spoke to directly.
It is the World that fills your passion here. And good men have for far too long shirked the primary duty God assigned us: saying NO to your lot. And you are frankly powerless on this point. For you to prevail here, I would have to accept Holy Communion delivered by a woman.
I will not.
Further, this is no honest disagreement. Unless you are part of the LCMS, you have no place at all to demand how we practice our faith. There are plenty of fake christian churches that women who want to feel empowered or gays that want to be told they're okay just they way they are, or poor folks that want to be reassured that robbing their neighbor at the ballot box is okay, can go to. Yet you have stayed up all evening just so you can whine and bitch at one guy in all of Christendom who will not bend the knee to your prince.

It is the World that fills your passion here. And good men have for far too long shirked the primary duty God assigned us: saying NO to your lot. And you are frankly powerless on this point. For you to prevail here, I would have to accept Holy Communion delivered by a woman.
I will not.
Further, this is no honest disagreement. Unless you are part of the LCMS, you have no place at all to demand how we practice our faith. There are plenty of fake christian churches that women who want to feel empowered or gays that want to be told they're okay just they way they are, or poor folks that want to be reassured that robbing their neighbor at the ballot box is okay, can go to. Yet you have stayed up all evening just so you can whine and bitch at one guy in all of Christendom who will not bend the knee to your prince.

I just have a question here for clarification-because I have no interest in the internal policies of the LCMS or of changing them-Your pastor is advocating for the ordination of women or for women to be able to distribute communion? Only men can distribute communion in the LCMS? Is this because women cannot be Deacons and that is a function of the Deacons in the LCMS?

FenelonSpoke, this isn't occuring in a vacuum. We've had problems with pastors who think the hot new thing is to be more inviting to folks with leftist sympathies for a while now. It has been on a range of topics, whether gay-friendly, lopsided sympathy for palestinians, duty to government in supporting obamacare, collapsing the economy with taxes because hey, the government needs to take care of the poor, endless sermons about how confusing it is that these lone wolves of no identifiable motive keeping shooting up innocents in gun-free zones, and so on, literally anything they think they can get away with.
This thing with naming women as elders just recently came up, like in the past month. We literally got an email late Friday that pastor was going to spend the Bible study hour "discussing" the findings of the task force that had been meeting for six months on the topic of 'how to put women on the board of elders', which of course meant he was making exclusively the hard sell.
And I'm sorry, but when you throw out scripture because of "culture" you've already lost your way. This is an enormous problem when it's the damn pastor pushing it.
It's a bigger problem when the faction pushing for a rewrite of our bylaws claim they've been out in the open all along, and half the people I know on the church council, which they've claimed was entirely on board, don't remember ever discussing the matter.
So this is getting pushed in the summer when attendance is down, and it just happens to be pushed by the folks who are all Ready for Hillary. In particular, by the current pastor who was prepared to let the congregation eat a $100,000 loss on a mortgage to the previous pastor until folks heard what he and the rest of the leadership were up to. So yeah, I'll have to ask your pardon if I am not prepared to just assume the most angelic motives of all involved.

You don't have to ask my pardon for anything. :^) I'm just an observer (and I appreciate you filling in some details), although I do think that Kinley Ardal was not making an argument for what the LCMS should do-as they appear to not be a member of the LCMS-just making arguments in general.
Had you thought of attending another type of church?. The culture will of course-continue to push against the church-but if all of this makes you you angry-is it worth it to stay there unless you feel you need to stand up for certain things while other people won't?

But it does sound like they're several problems going on-beyond just the issue of women being Elders.
