Thousands of Southern Baptists overwhelmingly voted Wednesday to advance a formal ban on women pastors in the nation’s largest Protestant denomination, sending a clear message that men alone should preach to these conservative evangelical congregations.

    If you can’t see why an eternal and unending punishment is not just, I really hope you don’t have kids.

    Especially because Jesus tells you to stone them when they get into the teenage-angsty phase. (Or else)

    Also don’t wear blended fabrics. (Or else)

    Don’t eat the wrong kind of food. (Or else.)

    Mutilate the dicks of your infant sons. (Or else.)

    If a punishment doesn’t fit the crime, the punishment is unjust. And eternal torment cannot eve or be appropriate for a finite crime.

      That’s all in the old testament. It’s not what Jesus advocated.

      And you need to take a chill pill. We’re on the same side of the fence here. We just disagree on each other’s interpretation of the story of Jesus.

        Mathew 5:17-20

        Tell me. What does it mean when he says “have not come to abolish the law or the prophet’s”…?

        Does that mean he came to abolish?

        It certainly doesn’t.

        Indeed he goes on to say that not one letter, not one jot from the law will fall away.

        According to Jesus, there is no “new covenant”.

        You’re not arguing with me. You’re arguing with the words of Jesus himself
