YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET ...

... me to disagree with Randy Stinson executive director of the Louisville-based Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood.

Stinson believes, as do I, the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and the Church of England have each revealed a mutual yet independent lower view of the inspiration and authority of Scripture. Both have or are in the process of elevating women to positions far above their biblical roles in the Body of Christ. He says ...
It's very dangerous for churches, [for] denominations to begin to slowly, sometimes quickly, undermine the authority of the Word of God in this way. I think it has incredibly devastating effects on church members. I think it has devastating effects on lost people who aren't familiar completely with the Bible. It offers confusion.

Stinson says more and more denominations are giving in to a "sinful, fleshly pull away from Scripture" in order to accommodate the culture. And the recent actions by the Disciples of Christ and the Church of England, he says, indicate they are continuing down a "slippery slope" of Scriptural compromise.
That my friends is at the root of every denominational issue we've faced in last 150 years.
