Mary, Mary Quite Contrary, 3rd Edition - David Clarke

The provocative question, "Does the Lord Jesus want women to rule as elders in His church", is a very reasonable one as we are living in the days of The Modern Woman, and women are being appointed as elders, leaders, and preachers in the church. It never used to be so. I believe this provocative question will be the means of addressing the knee jerk reaction of the Modern Woman who objects to a woman's role in a Christian culture and also other matters they object too that scripture gives clear direction. I do not believe appointing women as elders honours women kind. Women do not respect men who are a weak, cowardly, or ineffectual persons. Women Rights, Equality of Sex or RaceWhen treating the subject of women elders in the church we are not dealing with the affairs of a secular society and so it had nothing to do with women's rights, equality of sex or race in the world. This matter only relates to men and women in a Christian church. It is about the rules of the house of God, which is the church of the living God and rules for those who are members of the body of Christ and members of a heavenly county.
