The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum More Sticky Issues of Women in the Church

Sorry, but you aren't going to get around me that easy! What I asked you to do was to prove by sound exegesis that Col 3:16 (I added Eph 5:19) applies to corporate worship! What you are trying to do, and miserably I might add, is to assume that it does and then admit that it can be applied beyond corporate worship. No...... sorry! eh eh! Again, can you show exegetically that either/both of those texts are specifically addressing the behaviour of the saints within corporate worship?

Once again, you are assuming without evidence that "singing solo" is equal to "authoritative teaching"; i.e., that which the Lord has ordained to men and upon that basis reject it. You have yet to prove that singing is an ordained and primary means of teaching the Church. And if you could prove it is, then it would of necessity, prohibit women from participating in all forms of singing where men are present.

You've dug quite a deep hole for yourself here. But, I'm certainly willing to allow you to pull yourself out, if you can.
