Rebutting Philip Payne's use of Colossians 3:16 to claim all Christians should have a teaching ministry
Mike addresses Payne's argument that Colossians 3:16 proves every woman should have a teaching ministry.
Payne writes: 'Paul's prayer in Colossians 3:16 is that all Christians, women as well as men, will have a teaching ministry.' Mike says this distorts the text: if 'teaching and admonishing one another' means everyone has a teaching ministry, then 'singing psalms and hymns' means everyone has a worship ministry — which is absurd. This argument is 'high in rhetoric' but 'convinces people who don't think deeply about the text.'
