Freedom in Christ

July 4, 2014 by Kate Wallace Nunneley

Freedom in Christ

Through the Fall, the human race became slaves.

Slaves to sin
Slaves to death
Slaves to shame
Slaves to a life isolated from God
Slaves to broken relationships
Slaves to patriarchy

But we were not created for slavery. No, we were created for so much more than that. Sin may have damaged what God had intended, but Christ came to restore what sin had broken.

And to what end? Why did Christ seek to restore humanity?

Gender Hierarchy isn’t the Reason I Left Evangelical Christianity, but…

Gender Hierarchy isn’t the Reason I Left Evangelical Christianity, but…

I was raised by egalitarian parents and my first meeting with gender division in the Church was when I was studying theology at Bible College. All throughout the year there were little digs at it – women can‘t preach, they shouldn’t even teach our classes, people saying they would not go to lecture if there was a female lecturer (this never became an issue, I was always taught by men), even refusing to take communion if it was administered by a woman. Then it culminated in a special seminar where all the female students were gathered and explained what their role was in the Christian Church – or that is, what their role was not.
