I have never said you are revealing your prejudice against

               women by using a Homosexual as an example and I thank you

               for that, because it makes my case very plain what damage this

               doctrine does to women and how men in the church view them.


               Philo an ancient writer during the time of Claudius, heard the

               preaching of a new religion by Peter his curiosity led him to

               write about what he observed and report it. This is what he

               wrote about the men and women that ministered. He says,these

               men are called Therapeutae and the women are called

               Therapeutrides. They are given these names because they are not

               called by a name of themselves. He adds the reason people call

               them this is because they applied remedies and healed the souls

               of those who came to them, by relieving them like physicians, of

               evil passions, or from the fact they served and worshiped idols.


               As you see Philo who was not a Christian wrote that men and

               women were ministering in the same way having the same

               results.


               Faythe HopeIntruth Butler said to Exzucuh, Jeff just simply

               meant that if the verse in Galatians 3:28 literally meant that

               there were virtually no distinctions between males and females

               and that God saw them as exactly the same, then God could

               even sanction homosexual marriage since God sees no

               difference between males and females as Gal. 3:28 may imply if

               interpreted incorrectly.


               But yet there is a difference between males and females and God
