""this comment did not meet civility standards"

Your comment is correct, DD. The title of this article is inflammatory and based on a "false dilemma" with the intent to create an illusion about authority in the church. So the title is not "civil" from the git go.

This title "Why Does the Adventist Denomination Have A Policy to Allow Discrimination?" is totally dishonest and then presents some non-biblical position about equality between men and women.

It is a political tactic to create a problem that those who support WO and oppose male headship are somehow maligned when they are totally outside the biblical norm. And when scripture is shown to support male headship, they refuse to admit the obvious. Just like Sunday keepers who refuse to accept the clear bible doctrine of the 7th day Sabbath.

So the title is bogus, period. The church does not allow non-biblical discrimination. We follow God's mandate on this issue. Namely, male headship as loyalty to God's word.
