Egalitarian "me too"

A Las Vegas teacher is facing a felony charge for allegedly planning a large-scale attack at a concert featuring the metal band Life of Agony earlier this month.

Newly released arrest records reveal 48-year-old physics instructor Leslie McGourty has been arrested for allegedly communicating detailed threats in a text conversation.

The friend reported McGourty to law enforcement on May 15, and provided officials with text messages from the teacher threatening to — quote — “poke a lot of holes in a lot of people.”

Students said they could tell she was dealing with personal issues in the classroom.  [ Doh ]

The 48-year-old went on to say she wanted to start a “Me Too” style movement to empower women to become serial killers.

Hating on or loving Paige Patterson - UPDATE

Feminist blog titles it:
Paige Patterson removed from SWBT presidency.

On the other hand, SBC Voices says:
Paige Patterson has been made President Emeritus of SWBC, effective immediately.

Obviously both are correct.

UPDATE

TWW says: "Paige Patterson is laughing into his SBC catered root beer."

Oh right, he's been smeared by the feminist and yet he is laughing about having pulled a fast one despite his life being opened for all to see; including the warts.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he is not laughing.

Against the egalitarian narrative

In 2013, researchers from Washington University in St. Louis found that wives who out-earned their husbands "were more likely to suffer from insomnia and to use anti-anxiety medication." They also found that men who are out-earned by their wives "are more likely to use erectile dysfunction medication than their male breadwinner counterparts, even when this inequality is small."

Biblical Counselors statement on abuse

https://biblicalcounseling.com/2018/05/abuse/

Heath Lambert - President recounts some of his own experiences

"I have been the victim of physical abuse. I know what it is to have someone you love use size and strength to hurt you repeatedly. I know what it is to run through snow in bare feet to flee violence. I have heard the sound of gunshots from my mother’s gun, which were intended for me. It is a terrorizing feeling to return home from school day, after day, after day, and not know whether your mom is drunk and you’re in trouble, or whether she is gone and you’re fine—for a few hours. I would never want anyone to spend two seconds in the kind of fearful hell that I dwelt in for a decade."

Of course this doesn't fit the Wartburgwatch narrative of  Biblical Counselors being soulless, self righteous and untrained fundamentalists.

If you are not discerning the Wartburgwatch narrative will lead you away from truth, not towards it.

Wade Burleson - feminist? - UPDATE

Wade is, and has been, a critic of Paige Patterson and his stance on women.  Wade would appear to appeal to a gentler, more open approach to women in ministry.

But I have a question; he is the senior pastor of a mega church.

Does anybody with a lick of sense think Wade doesn't run his church?

Here's the deal ladies; there are a lot of men in leadership out there who give LIP SERVICE to women sharing leadership with men.  And a lot of these men truly believe they are egalitarians.
But I'm thinking, when push comes to shove,  Alpha males are gonna "alpha."  They may TELL YOU they want to share the power, but the reality?  Nope, Alphas are going to lead and rule.

[  BTW, it doesn't matter which denomination you are a part of; in even the most liberal denominations,  Alpha males are gonna alpha. ]

Gentlemen; if Beth Moore can't convince you to live by the Billy Graham rules, nothing will. UPDATE

https://blog.lproof.org/2018/05/a-letter-to-my-brothers.html

_______"About a year ago I had an opportunity to meet a theologian I’d long respected. I’d read virtually every book he’d written. I’d looked so forward to getting to share a meal with him and talk theology. The instant I met him, he looked me up and down, smiled approvingly and said, “You are better looking than _________________________________.” He didn’t leave it blank. He filled it in with the name of another woman Bible teacher."

Another guilty, Christian misogynist [ and non HANDSOME ] male.  They/you must change according to Beth Moore.  



[Unless you are handsome and suave male, and you probably aren't - especially if you are a theologican] 
There is NO fix.  
None Zip Zero Nada.  It is part of the Adamic curse.

The best thing you can do is keep a nice, polite barrier between you and them.  That works 100 per cent of the time.

The theologian who met with Beth made a mistake.  He ignored the Billy Graham rules. He's paying the price.


SNL explains it well.

UPDATE:

Denny Burk, President of CMBW.ORG [ much despised by Wartburgwatch and their commenters ]  defends and upholds Beth Moore.

T.W.W. has much trouble "discerning" the good guys from the bad guys.  Denny Burk and his friends are the good guys Deebs.  You should recognize that.

Contrary to Wartburg Watch - Submission is what it is.

Challies -

 I think the word “submit” may be quite similar. It’s a word some people really dislike, so instead of studying it and coming to a firm conclusion on its meaning, they choose not to believe in it at all.

I’m convinced we must have some doctrine of submission (it is, after all, right there in the Bible) but don’t think I’m alone in cringing a little bit when I hear the term “submit,” especially in the context of marriage. When I hear “wives, submit to your own husbands,” something happens in my mind or heart that I don’t really like. I feel this immediate little bit of shame or rebellion or something. Submission feels old-fashioned. It feels like the kind of thing I may want to explain away like, “I know it looks like it says ‘submit’ but it doesn’t really mean ‘submit’.” The problem is that it really does say “submit” and, as far as I can tell, really does mean it. There isn’t one Bible translation that disagrees. So we just need to tackle it head-on.

But what’s happening? Why do I feel that little bit of rebellion or shame when I hear the word “submit?” I think it’s proof that we as Christians are constantly battling worldliness. Worldliness is allowing our minds and hearts to be shaped by messages that come from outside the Bible. Remember Romans 12:2: “Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your minds.” Our minds are like Playdough and someone or something is always shaping them. Our lifelong battle is to ensure we are not being conformed to the thought-patterns of the world but are instead being transformed by the revelation of God. And in this area I think many Christians, myself included, have allowed worldliness to encroach just a little.

The worldly thinking that constantly creeps into our minds is that our value and our dignity as people comes from our function or role, from what we do relative to other people. The Bible says something different. Your value and your dignity do not come from what you do but from who you are. And who are you? You are the one creature in all the world made in God’s image! You do not gain value or dignity from your function, or your contribution, or your abilities. Your value and your dignity are intrinsic to you and equal to anyone else’s because you are made in the image of God.

Why is that important? Because a world that assigns value to function rebels against the idea of submission. It concludes that for a wife to submit to her husband means that she must have less value than her husband. This is false, but it’s so often there in our minds and hearts.
