These men feel that something drastic must be done to bring men back into the church. [...]
Posted in Galatians 3, Galatians 3:28, Women serving in the church on Nov 18th, 2008
According to complementarians, Galatians 3:28 is not about equality in Christ, but about all of us being in the same “boat” of salvation.
