What would I do if I saw my wife reading <insert book here>? I would respect her as a grown ass woman and a godly sister in Christ. I’d ask her what she thinks about it and we’d have a conversation that maybe involves wine and bourbon. I’d probably do the dishes while she talked.

if a man came before our presbytery’s examination committee and left us in confusion on the ontological and economical trinity they wouldn’t pass their exams. if they proceeded to say “well only a certain type of person doesn’t understand me” they wouldn’t get a second exam. 🤷‍♂️
