The following is from a PCA minister (not all PCA ministers are like this believe me):<\/p>\n
\nQ: “What does it mean for a woman to be theologically trained?”
\nA: A theologically trained woman is a one, who, in the fear of God, does not disdain her sex for something more sophiticated such as writing books or speaking at conferences or translating Hebrew. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nIf women are not allowed to be theologically trained or read the Bible in Hebrew, why are respected, conservative, reformed seminaries (Westminster, RTS, etc.) training us to do so? And why can’t a woman read the Bible in its original language? Where does it say that<\/em> in the Bible. I would have left these questions at his website but he doesn’t take comments. He just wants to pontificate from on Sinai (woman, thou shall not leave your kitchen or honor God with your brain) instead of communicate.
\nI am thankful to the Lord that my PCA minister does not hold this position or I never would have been able to go to seminary. (Westminster requires a letter of recommendation from your pastor as well as your husband. BTW, three men ordained in the PCA gave me a letter of recommendation.)
\nYou can read this and more at his blog<\/a>. (His blog does have a catchy title, PHIL UP THE BLOG)
\n(Link via Teresa<\/a>, thanks Teresa for getting my blood boiling first thing in the morning)
\nUpdate: Now that my blood has cooled down, I regret the title of this post and have changed it.
\nAnother update: He deleted the post, so the above link doesn’t work. You can read his blog here<\/a>.
\nYet another update: It’s<\/a> baaaack!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The following is from a PCA minister (not all PCA ministers are like this believe me): Q: “What does it mean for a woman to be theologically trained?” A: A theologically trained woman is a one, who, in the fear of God, does not disdain her sex for something more sophiticated such as writing books…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":307,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-110","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-life-under-the-sun"],"yoast_head":"\n
