Comments on: Gender Equality? http://preachinghelp.org/wordpress/?p=979 Preaching Help from the Writings and Sermon Outlines of Steve Higginbotham Tue, 24 Aug 2010 16:52:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Ben Wiles http://preachinghelp.org/wordpress/?p=979&cpage=1#comment-10786 Ben Wiles Fri, 26 Mar 2010 18:10:22 +0000 http://preachinghelp.org/?p=979#comment-10786 I saw that article. To me, the most telling line is the last one: "I want to be gentle and kind to people who don’t hold that opinion or knowledge." In other words, people who disagree with him are not to be engaged or even criticized, but pitied for their "lack of knowledge." My mouse pad is a book by Mike Moss on First John. In it, he warns about people who claim to have "superior knowledge," because in that day what was one person's "superior knowledge" was another person's heresy. John's message is not that Christianity needs to evolve into some higher order of existence, but that Christians need to hang on to what they've already been taught. I saw that article.
