Pushback from previous video on female deacons and 1 Timothy 3:8-13

Were Women Apostles in the New Testament? Women in Ministry part 5 01:11:28 – 01:12:30

Mike responds to viewer objections about women as deacons.

Mike changed his mind to now affirm women can be deacons. He reads 1 Timothy 3:8-13, noting the word 'wives' in verse 11 is actually gune/gunaikos (which means 'women' or 'wives') and is italicized because it is not explicitly in the text. He argues verse 11's requirements for women are ministry qualifications, not just wife qualifications, and they parallel the deacon requirements for men.
