Matt previously said that he would allow a public debate on the radio but that I was restricted to 1.5 minutes for each of my responses.  I told Matt that I would do this as long as he gave his questions ahead of time so that I could work hard to limit my answers to 1.5 minutes.  I don&#8217;t know why he would put such restrictions on me when he has never restricted anyone else on his radio show to speaking only 1.5 minutes, however the fact that I am a woman who is passionately in favor of women&#8217;s ability to teach the entire body of Christ with their God-given gifts and Matt is passionately in favor of men ruling women, might give a good indication why he would place me under such strict tight restrictions.  However even with my agreement to Matt&#8217;s control of the extent of my answers, Matt backed down and said he would not allow me to publicly give a defense in that format.<\/p>\n<p>So instead of a audio debate this is a place for a public written debate and all can see and judge without Matt&#8217;s restrictions on me.  It is a godly thing to passionately try to influence another.  It is not a godly thing to try to control and I believe that the best way to be heard is in a place where Matt cannot try to control.  Let&#8217;s see if Matt is willing to come and dialog in a professional and respectful way.  In the meantime I will continue to review his articles and reveal the faulty premise that Matt has based his view that women are not allowed to teach men authoritatively God&#8217;s word.  I disagree and believe that women <strong>are<\/strong> allowed to teach God&#8217;s word authoritatively as 1 Peter 4:11 clearly shows that everyone who has been gifted is allowed to speak the oracles of God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While I am reviewing Matt Slick&#8217;s articles on women in ministry, I would like to create this post as a public debate between Matt Slick and myself so that he is allowed to express himself without the restrictions that he has placed on me but in a place where I too am unrestricted.
