As long as the Church of God holds the position of only men serving as Administrative Bishops it remains a complementarian denomination in spite of a lot of members/ministers professing egalitarian views. When it adds women into the AB ranks the old beliefs of wives being in submission to their husbands will be like excessive rouge, make-up and lipstick and expensive jeweled adornment, bobbed hair and pants…just a legalistic thing of the past.

It will be an erosion of conservative family values. Men will not be able to speak up in Church unless they have gotten clearance from their wives at home first. How is that going to work out?

  1. So you say the COG is racist but then you push for sexism? One of the many sides of Charles that doesn’t make sense. Lol Happy New Year Charles.

    Charles, isn’t it already like that?

    In order for women to be an “elder/bishop” in the Body of the MESSIAH, they must be the “husband of one wife”. Now I realize among the heathen, anything is possible, and evident. But it is not to be. A woman cannot possibly be the husband of one wife.
    As far as women speaking in the church, could it be that Paul was addressing the very nature of women, that most men do not understand? Men “sort things out by thinking about them”. Women sort things out by talking about them, especially to another woman. I think this is what Paul meant by that. Don’t talk during the service. Wait till you get home, if there are things that you do not understand or have question about.
    The obvious FACT that women should not usurp authority over men dates back to the Garden of Eden. And what a mess we have had since then. And of course, if the man holds his ground, he won’t have any intimate contact with his wife for a time. Maybe even a time, time, and a half time. 😉
