There are no categorical differences between men and women: Agree or Disagree

We live in a culture that blurs the line between men and women.  Late 19th and early 20th century depictions of men and women are antiquated.  Should we listen to our grandparents' description of differences between men and women?  How do we honor our parents and grandparents as Christians in understanding what it means to be a man or women?  Should we differentiate between men and women?  How do we deal with someone's presupposition about gender roles, functions, and inherent sexuality?  How do we raise a child who is a boy or a girl?

It seems to me that in our day and age calling out any differences between men and women are controversial.  I mean other than the obvious physiological differences, are we we the same?  Should physiological differences dictate the way we perceive each other and communicate? I know that I have asked more questions than answers.  So please give me your two cents, and do keep in mind that whatever you do in word and deed should be to the honor and glory of God who created both men and women as image-bearers full of His beauty.

Does the birth control pill cause abortions?

Many Christians, including myself, are against all forms of abortion.  Christians have been historically pro-life, and rightly so.  However, when it comes to birth control, it seems like this is a gray area for many believers.  What do you think?  Is there a difference between a mother going to the doctor for an abortion during the early stages of pregnancy or taking a pill that prevents an embryo from being fertilized?  What should the churches stance on birth control be?  I would love to hear your responses before giving my opinion on the matter.  Also if you have some free time, then skim through this book on the matter of birth control written by Randy Alcorn (click name to read).
