Not one of them judges that the arguments against women's ordination in Scripture, are persuasive. And when you get far enough back in tradition things get pretty shaky too.<BR/><BR/>Are we supposed to park our brains at the door when we examine controversial doctrines in the Church?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745814378416915364.post-13289175740018085462007-08-24T06:09:00.000-07:002007-08-24T06:09:00.000-07:00Loretta,Thanks!

I am pondering however if we are going to be ready to be so democratic about everything that "hits the pews" or just his selected beef.

They don't read scripture and see how almost every healing finishes with "now go and do what the priests say" or "go and do this for the priests", and how Jesus loved the temple.<BR/><BR/>They think they have a divine mandate for rebellion, when it's actually the opposite.
