Galatians 6:1 Brethren, even if anyone is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
So if one sees a Christian brother or sister in sin, they should try to restore that one to fellowship, right? Does this seem consistent with \u201clet\u2019s just agree to disagree?\u201d What verse would one point to that agrees that sin is merely a matter of agreeing to disagree?<\/p>\n
What about this one \u2013 scripture says that the one who is born of God will not continue living a lifestyle of sin.<\/p>\n
1 John 3:4 Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.
\n1 John 3:6 No one who abides in Him sins; no one who sins has seen Him or knows Him.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
So if a Christian brother accuses a sister in Christ of sinning against God by teaching the Bible to men, how is it consistent with scripture to \u201cagree to disagree\u201d and see the \u201csinning\u201d sister as part of the fellowship of the body of Christ? How can the one practicing sin as a lifestyle be held in fellowship?<\/p>\n
I certainly want to be gracious about this and to respect CBMW\u2019s position, but it seems inconceivable to me that an organization of Christian men dedicated to spreading the complementarian position and who sincerely believe that women are in sin for teaching the bible to men can ignore my request for dialogue. I have asked them for their comments on my exegesis and if they believe I am wrong then to show me where I am wrong. It\u2019s a no go. They aren\u2019t interested. They just want to \u201cagree to disagree\u201d. Hmm\u2026\u2026. Is that scriptural?<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
