I'm curious about the answer as well, cvcraven.
That's a cute picture of you and your son, but I'm confused. How does that picture show that you're not sexist? Is it because you're a woman? I've met a TON of sexist women, so that doesn't prove much.

Sorry, I read that as someone assuming I was a guy. :rofl1: I know I'm not well known on here and my screen name isn't any help.
I'm a firm believer that any church doctrine or belief must be backed up with scripture. I have no problems with traditions as long as they are not contradictory to scripture.
1Timothy 3:8-13 - Deacons
3:8 Deacons likewise must be dignified, not two-faced,not given to excessive drinking, not greedy for gain, 3:9 holding to the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience. 3:10 And these also must be tested first and then let them serve as deacons if they are found blameless. 3:11 Likewise also their wives must be dignified, not slanderous, temperate, faithful in every respect. 3:12 Deacons must be husbands of one wife and good managers of their children and their own households. 3:13 For those who have served well as deacons gain a good standing for themselves and great boldness in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.
1Timothy 2:11-12 Authority
2:11 A woman must learn quietly with all submissiveness. 2:12 But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man. She must remain quiet.
I know my beliefs aren't popular with many but it's what I believe.
Sorry to the original poster for the massive thread hijack.
