TRUTH

“You shall not fall in with the many to do evil, nor shall you bear witness in a lawsuit, siding with the many, so as to pervert justice” - Exodus 23:2

Justice is perverted when people follow the crowd rather than carefully examining the situation at hand.

Instagram bans I Timothy 2:12

Ministry Posts 'Only Men May be Pastors,' Instagram Deletes It as 'Hate Speech'


**11/12/2018**
Founders Ministries posted a screenshot of an article titled "Only Men May be Pastors" to their Instagram account, only to have Instagram delete the image Sunday as "hate speech" after reviewing it, threatening to disable the ministry's account if it happened again.
Hannah Ascol, who handles social media for Founders, described the incident to the Christian Daily Reporter Monday:
"We posted an article from one of our Founders board members Tom Hicks titled 'Only Men May Be Pastors' on November 7th. The post had gotten great engagement (our second best post engagement for this year) on our Instagram account. There was good discussion and agreement in the comments. Then Sunday evening, November 11, I got the notice that the post had been reported by a viewer, reviewed by Instagram and then deleted. The reason given was that the post 'doesn't follow our Community Guidelines on hate speech.' Included was a warning that if we violated the guidelines again then our account could be restricted or disabled."
She went on to confirm that the censored image was just a screenshot of the article title and photo (similar to how they post other new articles to their Instagram account), with the article's first sentence as the caption, reading "In spite of the fact that it seems more and more fashionable in our day to say that women may be pastors, the Bible is clear that pastoral leadership is restricted to men."
To Instagram, this standard complementarian position qualifies as hate speech.
Tom Ascol, Executive Director of Founders Ministries, took to Twitter Sunday night, saying "Big Brother can’t tolerate biblical truth in the marketplace of ideas," adding "Simply asserting what the Bible says is 'hate speech.' At some point everyone will be made to care."https://www.christiandailyreporter.com/instagram-hate-speech.html

I would guess that a significant portion of regular TWW commenters would absolutely agree - sadly.

THE NAIVETE of the EGALITARIANS

"In my experience, the more egalitarian a person says he is, the more superior he wishes to be, or assumes he already is. Egalitarian sentiment is, and generally has been, a license for hypocrisy, double standards and exerting power over others. "  David Thompson

It holds true in a marriage; there may be some ongoing give and take but in each duet - there's someone who has the greater will to rule.  And they will not share it if they think it counts.

Sad fact of life:  Someone will always have the "whip hand."  If you question that; you obviously do not have the "whip hand."
