Is debating equally acceptable amongst genders?

Too long.

As a Corgi I just want to bite their ankles.

There should be a ladies BDF and a fellas BDF and never the twain should meet.

I assume that women are approximately half of the Christian
population. It would bother me to think that because of their
gender, I would miss half the thoughts on living a Christian
life. If we look at the world in general, women have taken on
a much larger roll in society than they once did. There are
admirals in the navy, generals in the army, there are CEO's of
large corporations and even women pastors. Perhaps not as
many as there should be but it is somewhat better than it was
hundreds and thousands of years ago. I would hate to think that
we are still in that era. I believe men ought to put muscles away
and put their brains in motion or otherwise we are going to be left
behind. What do you say guys, are you up for it.

I do prefer an honest thoughtful discussion rather than a debate
though. I believe as Christians that will improve our spiritual
journey with God.

As a man, I do not feel threatened when having a discussion with a woman. I actually like having them, as I get new things to think about . In a lot of cases, I am strengthened. I don't mind a good debate either, just as long as it doesn't end up in an argument. As you know, an argument leads nowhere.

Here's an old, pulverizing the horse, over and over, kind of topic. So bear with me, please, much long-suffering may be required, lol.


I want to address the BDF because it is in this particular portion of forums that this concern surfaces.…


I can almost hear you readers saying…


Get on with it woman. Just say it, lol.


Um, I want to, lol, but I need preface this first in an attempt to weed out what I'm not doing…


I am not asking how you interpret the word with regards women in pastoral leadership. Meaning no offense, to my sisters who are much more educated than I. I totally accept that you can and are being used by God. So no shade to men or to women.


This forum is designed to give our take on the matter. If we don't share our opinions and interpretations, the threads potential for movement ceases to be. Additionally, the BDF is definitely more of a debate platform. I thoroughly enjoy bantering back and forth, examining a matter; it is often educational and edifying, sometimes even entertaining, and sometimes just frustrating, lol. When discussing things, though, opposing views in particular with men, do females need to stay in their lane? .

Eeks, :O ..men nodding and women picking up weapons....

Ducks to avoid sisters who finds that statement archaic, minimizing and just downright offensive and insulting. Please, know that I mean no harm.

Sisters, surely, you have pondered this too, because it is clear that He has given us minds, but He has also given us roles. Yes, He can use us, too, for sure, and in Him we are one. However, our role is different and, yes, limiting in the teaching and preaching of men.

I will stop going on, trying to ease my harsh blow. I just hope you know that I am a woman ready and open to be taught by both my Brothers and Sisters.

Ok, back to where am I going with this?

Ughidy ugh ugh, how do I ask this..

Do you think women, in an open debate forum, discussing biblical doctrine, crosses the line when getting into a heated discussion with the opposite gender? I don't think offering up our own interpretations are considered teaching or preaching, but if we are correcting respectfully of course, Brother's ideas, are we crossing the line?

I also think it an unfair advantage towards females, because a man of God has and should handle verbal discourse differently. I think respect, though, should be given to everyone, but let's be honest, many men will speak less freely when talking to a sister.

With that said, I love partaking here, so if you could just tell me what I want to hear that would be great, hahaha...jk.

Just picking your brains…
