The issue is not whether I (me, myself) am being gullible (I never did say that I believed that, in fact, if you read what my opinion was, it becomes obvious that I do not agree with that), the issue is that this is what is being taught to modern Christians and it is reason to prepare your MIND to deal with the coming onslaught of lies produced by the "flesh", Romans 12:2 says that we should "...be transformed by the renewal of your MIND", not heart, a mind is the combination of the brain, heart and conscience. We are not to THINK in worldly ways as babes in Christ do (1 Corinthians 3:1"...men of the flesh, as babes in Christ). We accept salvation as babes in Christ, but are expected to GROW (mature) as our MINDS learn wisdom from The Holy Spirit. Institutional Christianity teaches that our HEARTS should grow in wisdom.

When you are faced with a new situation (math problem or whatever), do you use your HEART to figure it out? (I use my brain). It simply doesn't make sense to believe that we can think with the HEART. Our capacity for caring should be heightened and more tender as we mature in Christ, but we will still make decisions using our brain. The big difference is that we will also have developed our conscience and a more tender heart. This understanding is very important for a TRUE Christian because otherwise we become a walking bible. Did you ever hear the expression "That person is a walking dictionary"?. It means that the person only is a "nerd" and cannot see outside themself (in other words, they're not a Curezone type). Be a maverick, an independent thinker, march to a different drummer. Don't be a "follow the leader" storebought Christian that came off an assembly line. The world's way is to be a naysayer, defensive, controversial, confrontational, contrary, controlling, belittle, ridicule, criticize, judge and to readily contradict everything instead of ACCEPT because the "ME" (SELFISHNESS) of the "flesh" wants to be KING. Is this "STRONG delusion" to be considered a trivial matter because the scholars have college degrees and have convinced so many to believe that they can think with the heart? Not everything God requires of us is in wisdom-filled parables and the "goodly" words of pastors (Mark 4:12, "...for those outside, EVERYTHING is [remains] in parables").

WHY, oh why would you think that I believed that women are subordinate? Especially when it was very clear that I didn't agree. Human nature seems to have caused a defensive and contrary controversy (be transformed by the renewing of your mind, please).
