    What what? Men have feelings, too, but too often we can't acknowledge that because of the constraints society (and churches) place on us. It's nothing short of macho arrogance that says "I don't have emotional needs."

    Conversely, good preaching is neither male nor female in its substance.

    This is a lie. Here's one sinless day gone this week!

    Either answer the question Annsi posed to you or her child stomping his foot assessment fits you to a T.

    Hello all!

    OK...so We are ripping on Driscoll.

    I do like Disrcoll (do i agree with him all the time? NO!) He hold the scripture in high regard...he is missional he longs to see folks saved. do I agree with everything he says...no, but i eat the meat and spit out the bones.

    How we feel about the Scripture or what it says is irrelevant. Only an intellectual pursuit of the meaning of Scripture within its proper context matters. Not every verse is intended to bring personal comfort & peace to its readers. I get tired of hearing questions like "how does this verse comfort you" when we should be asking what was the original intent & meaning of this passage. :BangHead:

    You're right, but that is not a "feminization." Women can be just as logical as men.

    the bolded part may have been a misstatement but it is very scary.

    Still, this is hardly an issue of gender. Men are just as likely to interpret the Bible with their feelings as women are.

    It's a wonder Paul chose Timothy to take his place considering he was taught by.....gasp......TWO women! His father was a Greek.


    2 Timothy 1:5
    when I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also.

    Apparently some posters in this thread who think women interpret scriptures through their "feelings".

    I thought you would have caught the sarcasm in my post. Sorry. :)

    Charles Spurgeon on his boyhood mentor:

    "I learned my theology, from which I have never swerved, from an old woman who was a cook in the house where I was an usher. She could talk about the deep things of God and as I sat and heard what she had to say, as an aged Christian, of what the Lord had done for her, I learned more from her instruction than from anybody I have ever met with since!"

    And we all know how he turned out:eek:
