Baptist Church fires teacher for being a woman, dismissal letter quotes: "I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man"

[Alex+R 0]

There is a Baptist church near my house with a sign that says "God is impartial." WEIRD.

HaHa, Yay for Shariah in USA!

Actually the shariah does not lower women to the standard of not being allowed to teach men simply because of her gender. In fact, the prophet's wives taught men frequently and there are even female scholars today.

Just out of curiosity's sake, what is your definition of a real christian (just interested, no negative tone involved in this post)?

It's not fair to generalize all Baptists one way. I am not Baptist but I have known many baptists who were nothing like the generalizations about them.

I wouldn't be surprised if the KKK called themselves baptists, but would it make a difference if they called themselves methodist, lutheran, non-denominational? They still would have tried to justify their actions no matter what label they used. That doesn't mean being baptist=evil.

You will find differences from one Baptist church to another. One church may be filled with very sweet sweet people, nicest people you'll ever meet, and the other church could be filled with legalistic jerks who are rarely nice to outsiders. And then there are some in between. That's how every church is. But it's not right to generalize like that.

One who truly believes in the teachings of Christ and tries their best to be like him. Not like some weird old crank in the OT. The majority of baptists here in the south think that we should go back to OT times. This doesn't just go for baptists though, a lot of other people from different denominations (I can safely say a lot of Catholics since I was one)... are nothing like what Christ was like. There is a quote by someone out there (I forget who) that says "If Jesus came back today, one thing he would not be is christian"

Having said that, I do know a lot of christians who do try to be like Christ and try to be good people who accept others and leave judgement to God.

Sorry but most of the baptists I have known have left a horrible aftertaste.

Besides, these people of which I speak have no problems generalizing everyone else so why should I...
