Chapter 10

The church is not infallible in its understanding of God’s will. Only through dialogue with those who differ from us will we begin to see what we may have missed and make changes for the better. Listening carefully to their critiques should spur us on to look at the Scriptures and allow God’s eternal and unchanging truths—not uncritical rejection of anything associated with particular movements—to shed light on our situation and determine church polity. If egalitarianism is true, more than half the church is being underused, and not only do we contradict.

It is contrary to the Scriptures that woman should not have her part in the salvation work to which God has called her. We have no right to lay a straw in her way. It is the same Holy Spirit in the woman as in the man other disciples into the upper room, and God baptized them all in the same room and made no difference. All the women received the anointed oil of the Holy Ghost and were able to preach the same as men.63

The attempt to argue against the ordination of women to the priesthood on the basis of some supposed eternal subordination of the Son to the Father must be judged to be failed and misguided project. “Are women to be eternally second-class citizens in the kingdom of God?

Nun Rejects the Reformation, by Katherine Rem, A Nun Explains Leaving the Convent, by Ursula Munsterberg, and On Women Preachers, by Mary Dentiere contrasts conflicting perspectives and attitudes towards the Reformations and highlight both the positive and negative effects on women.

    Julio’s comment about the treatment of women in the Pentecostal church shows how religion has manipulated women like Blanca into positions where they are expected to be directed and restrained by others.

Religious followers often have specific symbols that represent their religion in their lives or an object that they hold sacred because it represents their faith in their beliefs. However, the people of the Pentecostal church have placed their representation of faith into the pastor and made

    I expect this discussion to spur quite the debate from both sides, based on the individual belief and interpretation of the scripture, further, society has molded many of our perceptions about women and equality therefore, we are sure to have a variety of views on this subject. It is quite clear to me that Jesus did not differentiate between women and men, as it regards the advancement of His Kingdom. Jesus utilized women as the roles of prophets several times within the scripture, although he did not have women as one of the Twelve, he utilized them equally to spread “the new way”. As an example, the Samaritan woman at the well with Jesus obtained insight from Jesus, that he was the Messiah, and she left the well to tell others about Him
