Should Anabaptist Perspectives Host Women Speakers?
Marlin and Jaran respond to several comments from audience members about the work of women and men.
Comment 1: “I thought women where not supposed to teach men? Why is this women teaching this guy bible stuff haha”
Comment 2: “A Proverbs 31 woman is a business woman who runs her own businesses and buys her own property and is most definitely not being quiet and making whoopie pies all day for her husband while he tells her how to live her life. Paul is the only person in the whole canon of scripture to tell women to be quiet.”
Comment 3: “I think AP is crossing the bounds by inviting female participation here, even with it mostly focusing on women’s issues.”
Comment 4: “There’s different understandings and definitions of what Jew and Greek (or Gentile) means, but why does everyone stop there? It goes on to say there is no longer bond or free, male or female, but all are one in Christ. Things are supposed to be kept in context, so according to this, should women be ordained as pastors now?”
