First, I would clarify that defending injustice to women or upholding a woman's right do not necessarily have anything to do with egalitarian. Egalitarian, by definition is to disregard any differences between women and men. If I were to explain this to a kid, I would say that the egalitarians cannot tell the difference between women and men in general. Yes, very stereo-typical, but that is the definition. Just because one who eats only beef as meat and claims to be vegetarian, does not make one a vegetarian. In that case, the definition of vegetarian for that person has been corrupted. And if everyone redefines vegetarian as such, then they have redefined it obtusely.<\/p>\n<p>So, if I support women's right, I do not identify myself with egalitarianism. Because they do not truly follow the Bible, even though some of them claim to do so. Back to the vegetarian dilemma again.<\/p>\n<p>On 2 Timothy 2:12, the reviewer merely stated that it was hard for her to understand or interpret and implied that no one has an answer for it and those who does are wrong. A signature pride of the egalitarians.<\/p>\n<p>Now, back to Kathy Keller. I was curious because I had some hint of feminism from Kathy Keller. Therefore, I am glad to have read this review on her book because the reviewer honestly declared Keller as being vague.<\/p>\n<p>Conclusion, I would not fully associate Kathy Keller to feminism. But merely confused, based on her interpretation of those gender verses in her book. I need not read her book, I trust this reviewer in this case. For now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was looking to confirm certain doctrinal view of Kathy Keller. Gender roles.
