@JonByers186054 @dalepartridge I don’t think you know what these words mean. You think that mutual submission between Christ and His bride means that the bride is God and Christ is a slave or something. That’s not how this works! It is an attitude of...

@JonByers186054 @dalepartridge No, scripture doesn’t say that the Father gives *US* all authority, but Christ…*FOR* the benefit of the Church. We are not under His feet. This is clear! You cannot be w

@JonByers186054 @dalepartridge There is mutual submission between Christ and His bride. We receive the resurrected body, the same one Jesus will have. We receive His inheritance and will be made sinless. What precisely is there to rule over? Does thi...

@JonByers186054 @dalepartridge No I’m not living under satanic deception. You don’t know what you are even talking about! Good thing you are not the operator of the ovens! Yes, Christ is King! He has authority over all—FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE CHURCH...

@JonByers186054 @dalepartridge I appreciate you decided to not speak with sarcasm. And no, I have not rejected Christ in any way—I believe and follow His Word! Jesus is the uncreated creator and as such is in authority over all, but scripture is not ...

@JonByers186054 @dalepartridge Also, you should re-read your posts… “You’re disgusting. It’s truly sick” is not charitable and no way to speak with even unbelievers let alone a brother in Christ. I haven’t once called you such names! I’m even current...

@JonByers186054 @dalepartridge kephale is not meant to convey Christ’s authority

@JonByers186054 @dalepartridge The same things Jesus says to his Jewish-only, male-only apostles is to be taught to everyone. We are all to emulate Christ, not just males! There is no prescriptive text giving authority to husbands in the home. Kep...

@baptistvibes Now, if Jesus says, “Do not be called Rabbi; for only One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers…Nor are you to be called leaders; for only One is your Leader, that is, Christ” (Mt 23:8-10), then HOW MUCH MORE would this apply to cal...

@dalepartridge Also, note how Paul applies how Eve was deceived to the whole Corinthian church (which includes many men): “But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and pur...

@TrueChristian00 @DrFrankTurek You wrote: “If an angel can materialize in human form as they did throughout Scripture and eat food in Genesis 19:1–3, then Jesus, who is now greater than angels in Hebrews 1:3, 4, could definitely do the same.” First—...

@TrueChristian00 @DrFrankTurek Your quoted 1 Pe 3:18 “He was put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit.” You said “He wasn’t simply resuscitated in the same fleshly body.” However, the Greek construction supports reading ‘made alive by ...

@TrueChristian00 @DrFrankTurek Thanks again for your detailed response. I’ll address each point in a separate post. 1Co 15:45 is frequently misunderstood. First—This verse compares origins, not transformations at resurrection. Paul explicitly quote...

@CrackaNyc @IndianaBrunner @DrFrankTurek No, that’s not quite it. This council did not define for the first time what Christians believed up to 325 AD. They are presenting on paper what was already believed by all Christians. There were those who did...

@TrueChristian00 @DrFrankTurek Thanks for clarifying. Wouldn’t you agree that in

@DrFrankTurek Always be ready to give a reason for the hope that you have and be able to defend the truth of the claims of Christianity and the gospel. Questions help to bring out the things where they believe differently. Asking where they find thei...

@Jondaphemp @WayneShaff60221 The teaching of Calvinism damages the body of Christ, but I don’t believe RC is a false teacher. What he believes about what God does behind the scenes is not a primary matter of the faith even if he is wrong. Thankfully,...

@JonByers186054 @NateSchlomann repeating yourself again? I get that insecure patriarchal types love tossing around slurs like ‘beta’ and ‘cuck,’ but parroting playground insults doesn’t make them righteous. I already follow the true Christ — the one...

@NasarCefas @ChristKing79265 @oliverburdick Yes, Moses was writing things down which is why we call the first 5 books the Books of Moses. I'm simply suggesting that the first 3 chapters of Genesis don't give us that marker (ie. "God said to Moses, wr...

@ronhenzel @Tailfeathers_WA Ron, you’re equating “granting faith” with “causing trust” in a deterministic sense—but Paul doesn’t say that in Php 1:29 or Ro 12:3. Php 1:29 isn’t about God giving faith to unbelievers. It’s about believers being grante...

@ChristKing79265 @oliverburdick I read the Bible. “They said to him, ‘Why then did Moses command one to give a certificate of divorce and to send her away?’ He said to them, ‘Because of your hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives,...

@StevenG57428175 1. If so, then why don't they allow a confessing Christian to partake of the bread and wine as Jesus commanded? 2. The first kind of priesthood is the only one that rightfully exists in the church. 3. According to scripture, leaders...

@RoninOfChrist @RevKimWChafee Well, if we are going to talk about Roman Catholic practices, we will have a lot more to disagree with. Much of the things the RC church teaches today developed over a long period of time which makes sense because the RC...

@JonByers186054 @_Nosoup4you__ LOL! So if we have male only leadership, look and how protective it was: “But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his trickery, your minds will be led astray from sincere and pure devotion to Christ.” (2Co...

@JonByers186054 My view is that the scripture teaches that in Christ, there is no longer a dividing wall of hostility between male and female. We are all "sons" in Christ and therefore have the benefit of sons. God created equal counterparts (Ge 1:28...

@Meritocrating @_Nosoup4you__ @FavaAnthony @_NoSoup4You_ Many Christians agree with my conclusions...just not always with the same reasons I use. I don't bring in Artemis as I don't see Paul referring to this cult but to Jewish myths. It matters not...

@KingRomans828 Interesting reflections. Thanks for sharing. I think there is a mixture here. Some truly believe that they are advocating for what the Bible teaches, much like how "Saul" was persecuting Christians thinking that God wanted him to clear...

@Meritocrating @_Nosoup4you__ @FavaAnthony @_NoSoup4You_ Since women were always able to be saved, Gal 3:28 does not teach that finally in the new covenant women could be saved and all those women before this point are eternally lost. Gal 3:28 is th...

@The_Under_Dog94 The view that women have equal authority as men in alignment with God’s imperatives to both the man and woman in Gen 1:28 is not outside the pale of Christian teaching. What historical creed or confession unifying the church says th...
