Convo needs more Biblical preaching like Voddie Baucham, John MacArthur, Steve Lawson, Alistair Begg, Sinclair Ferguson, Tom Ascol, H.B. Charles Jr. and those like them. That is the greatest need in convo for LU students is more of that.So I take it you're not a fan of Gabe Lyons, Levi Lusko, Lysa TerKeurst, David Platt, or Andy Stanley?

I posted a couple of his youtube videos in another thread. If you didn't watch them you missed out. He preaches from the same Bible Doc used

stokesjokes wrote: ↑October 30th, 2020, 2:05 pmBrother, you are over-blowing this, as gnosticism is a form of heresy that is against the Gospel and if you listen to any sermon of John MacArthur's you will find the Gospel there with clarity as with the call for repentance. Furthermore, MacArthur preached a sermon on the topic of women's preachers/pastors and apologized for his comment towards Beth Moore. I would also like to hear why you mean by hyper-specific mandates? My question is this, is it wrong for someone to have a strong conviction on things? Biblically, some of his strong stances or mandates every Christian should run with. Why? because they come straight from the Scriptures. Examples are women preachers/pastors are completely unbiblical and in direct disobedience to God's word.FlamesHighontheTide wrote: ↑October 30th, 2020, 1:22 pmMaybe I'm overblowing this, but I thought the Beth Moore incident was pretty revealing of his character.

And yet John MacArthur makes your list?
I've come to see his brand of hyper-specific mandates on doctrinal issues as a form of new gnosticism- it's making the exact right knowledge/doctrine salvific instead of relationship with Christ and ultimately the fruit that should come with that.

We have an example of Priscilla both teaching and pastoring (shepherding) to Apollos (Acts 18). We also have biblical examples of women being prophets, deacons, and apostles. The only office of the church we don't have a biblical example of is that of elder (overseer).

First, at most it was only one (so drop the plural). Second, the name isn't clear as to gender. Third, the phrase translated in Romans 16 could mean that the person (Junia or Junias) is "esteemed BY the apostles" or "esteemed AS an apostle." Those debates are significant and ongoing. I would not make doctrine on a single passage which is difficult to translate.

It’s been put forth as speculation because people are trying to reconcile the things Paul says about women in church vs. what’s described in practice.Jonathan Carone wrote: ↑October 30th, 2020, 3:00 pmWasn't it because the men of the church were not taking those positions and Paul mentions this?FlamesHighontheTide wrote: ↑October 30th, 2020, 2:39 pm Examples are women preachers/pastors are completely unbiblical and in direct disobedience to God's word.This is not true.

The notion of women as deacons is MUCH stronger (and a position I hold).
