Beth Moore: Complementarianism Is Like an Abused Woman

Why must the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) continue to go down this path?  Mrs Moore, is using terrible tragedy of abuse within some SBC churches, for her own agenda and she should be ashamed. In some ways though, Mrs Moore is right, the abuse that happened is awful and should be punished to the full extent of the law, which should be handled locally. The SBC has has in the past celebrated the autonomy of the local church and it is up to the local church to handle these situations. It would seem that the denominations leadership and those who support Mrs Moore wish to view us like the Catholic Church, where it is a top down organization. They want to tell us what we are so very wrong at and how they know how to fix it.  The leadership are trying to make the SBC into the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, to go back to what it was before the conservatives.
Back to Mrs Moore, no one ever said this woman wasn't smart, Mrs Moore is giving the serpent a run for his money.  In my life I have found the greatest of deceivers tell little lies, over long periods.  These little lies, play on people's emotions, some little thing that may make them feel some guilt and most people hate to even think of themselves being the bad "guy". This changes how people, who are already inclined to believe her, find it easier to justify what Mrs Moore says.  Mrs Moore, is just adding some lard to that slippery slope!  Just like Eve she wants what she shouldn't have, so she is convincing everyone that there wrong instead.

This is the face of the liberal resurgence

Let's be nice, everyone want to be nice and Mrs Moore is talking about how these misogynistic men in leadership have used this idea of complementarianism as a tool to abuse women. We are just abusing women because we keep reading and trying to apply God's word, as its written. When will we stop trying to make everyone happy?  Most of these people in the audience, watching her, have to be marginally Biblically illiterate or none of this would be an issue. I'm at the point where I believe that the men in this audience are... I don't even know how to say anything positive.  Mrs Moore wants something and she is using this tragedy to get it.
It is a very similar issue that is being fought in the culture wars. Homosexuals, Pedophiles and transgender want to be recognized as normal (Mrs Moore has stated that we have been to hard on them to) and to be accepted throughout society for who they are. This is especially targeted at christians and institutions associated with the church. Deep in there hearts, they believe if they are accepted and normalized, then it will fill that empty place.  The same goes for Mrs Moore, no amount of lies, misdirection or even the SBC leadership supporting her will make what she wants to be true.  God does not call women to be Elders/Preacher/Teachers in His church.

Being Positive and Proactive

Dear Friends,
As I have been walking along this path that God has set before me, I have found that even when it all goes wrong He is still great.  I find that I get tired of writing about negative things all of the time, it is both draining to you but to myself as well. Even though I could put many things up on this blog about negative things, I have decided I wont.
So, lets look at the goodness and greatness of what God has been doing.  The most exciting is that I have a wonderful family, with a wife who I know loves me.  I am also going to get to co-teach a Pastoral Care and Counseling extension class. The local SBC Association is administering it for MBTS and we have a great DOM and Association. If you know me, you know that I am very hands on, I love to teach and I loved to be involved with people.  Only God could have set this in my path because so many hurdles had to be jumped and it was done by so many others.
Another thing that I am excited about but hasn't happened yet is that I have put in some applications for online teaching jobs.  These would be great if they worked out both financially but also would add some fun.  Remember though pray for my family and myself, just as I  pray for those whom I know and for everyone in general.  Though if you need more pray let me know, I do love direct prayer for people whom I care for.  Love you all...

I have decided to become involved in some specific issues in Nebraska.
1.  I am against the "Die with Dignity Laws" that are being introduced across the country.  We have a      state senator here who has introduced it for the last several years and will continue to do so.  This        is a slippery slope and people are misinformed.
2.  My family and I are going to get involved in the anti-abortion movement in Omaha Metro area.          Prayer is going to be our biggest weapon but we wish to show our children how to be active in our      faith.
3.  My children wish to be involved more with the homeless problem in the Omaha Metro area.                Haven't exactly figured out how to do this but my heart swells with there express of compassion          for those without and in need.
4.  This is one that I have been involved with for a few years.  Its two parts, first being the treatment        of the poor when they die. Secondly, getting green burials legalized in the state of Nebraska .
