"Fascinating and Frightening"

Scroll down and watch video first.

...God has a Sovereign sense of humor. The anchor doesn't even realize her story gets away from her. Voddie blind-sides the anchorwoman with his antifeminist comments. CNN must not come across conservative Christians as sharp and as committed to Biblical Truth as Voddie Baucham very often. Thank you Ted Turner for helping to get out the Truth. That was refreshing.

Points of contention (in case you aren't familiar with the opposing view points)
1. Scripture is superior to our own cultures. Preconceived ideas about God and his Word often lead us away from Truth. This is what it means to approach God humbly. It is to say to Him who saved your soul, "I do not know the truth. I need your Word to form and cleanse my mind."
2. Authors' exclusive intent. Don't play "Fast and Loose with the Text"--meaning don't just cut a scripture out of its context to paste it to fit your argument. Allow the context of a text to dictate how you view the social climate of our Day. It seems that everyone always wants the Bible to back up their argument, but when they actually come to the Word of God honestly, they can see plainly that God is in opposition to most of the things they espouse and tell other that God too approves. This is devastating. 
3. A Woman's role. Wow I'm not even going to touch that one. I much to immature and unlearned and single to have anything worthwhile to say. My apologies.

I saw this a while back. He did an amazing job. Now, if we just get Osteen to take a few lessons...
