Comments on: Discrimination of women in the SBC: can they teach men at all? http://strivetoenter.com/wim/2007/01/20/discrimination-of-women-in-the-sbc-can-they-teach-men-at-all/ This blog is for dialogue on the issue of women in ministry and the freedom for women to teach the bible in a public setting. It is also for questions and answers on our DVD entitled "Women in Ministry: Silenced or Set Free?" This 4 DVD set answers the hard passages of scripture that seem to restrict women's ministry.

The second paragraph should look more like this: I can see how some might invoke Paul's teaching on lawsuits between believers in this. But the problems in this case are that the seminary's actions: ---were very unchristlike and violate the most basic principles of Christians caring for one another, especially since she is the primary wage earner and her husband is disabled ---violate Paul's teachings on how employers are to treat employees, especially if they are believers, ---are illegal in this country Sorry, I thought I could use “ordered lists” in the comments.

Paul's teachings on lawsuits among believers were never meant to say we must not consider the laws of the land, but that we can and should settle our own petty disputes. Paul himself used the law when possible, for example when he was about to be beaten without a trial which was against the law for a Roman citizen. Granted the Romans were not Christians, but granted also that Paul would never have expected believers to commit illegal acts, especially by groups of leaders!

To try to limit Dr. Klouda to seek restitution and justice from a warped system within the University or the denomination that mistreated her is simply trying to prevent her from finding justice. That reveals a lot in itself. Yes, Michael.

Exposing discrimnation and using the law of the land to get justice is the way to go. The Lord has these justice systems in place so people can get a measure of justice one way or another in this sinnerful world. Of course True Justice will come when Jesus comes back!
