@Reformed_Zoomer @j_robert_kirk @MolderAnna26649 @Brian_Sauve You read scripture in snippets like there is zero context. Do you really think women are not to love sacrificially? REALLY?! Why do you suppose Paul gives what appears to be a one sided c...

@j_robert_kirk @Reformed_Zoomer @MolderAnna26649 @Brian_Sauve 1Ti 2:12 is a statement made in the context of a personal letter to Timothy in which Paul’s main concern was stopping false teaching and how to handle blaspheming false teachers differentl...

@LogicSaysBurn @Cooper9DL Fundamentally it’s the context that determines meaning; the range of meaning or past usage merely informs how Paul might have been using the word. So regardless, you have to go to the text in context as the final arbiter as ...

@Cooper9DL You are taking 1Ti 2:12 out of context and are treating “head” in the sense of authority or master over which is not the sense in which Paul was using the word kephale. Your comment about 1Ti 3:1-13 being directed at only men is likely due...

@coramdeo1 @kdclaunch No one (including me) is arguing that the letters written to specific individuals were not intended to be read by the rest of us and treated as scripture. What I’m saying is that we must take Paul’s meaning in the context that ...

@StevenMKestner @kdclaunch No, absolutely not. I’m pointing out this detail as i

Because Kyle gets the context and purpose of the letter wrong and misunderstands

@EkIesou @smashbaals It is correct to say that ‘a woman’ can either refer to a specific woman/wife or a generic woman/wife. The way we determine which it is is by the context. Paul’s reference to Adam and Eve as a prototypical couple and the “She…the...

@smashbaals If you are this careless in exegeting scripture, I’m worried about you. 1. All women are not barred from preaching. 1Ti 2:12 doesn’t say anything about preaching, refers to “a woman” (singular) and not all women, in context has to do wit...

@smashbaals I don’t think you read my question very carefully. That verse is bei

@avyargo @_nomadic_soul How am I twisting it by making sense of every detail in the grammar and the context? You have accepted an interpretation that doesn’t even make sense of the history where we have women like Deborah instructing and teaching me...

@KillmanBuck @JoInAthensGa @Eric_Conn I'm not progressive. I prefer mutualist as it is not about grasping for rights. I follow scripture as fully inspired in every word taken in context as fully authoritative and complete for every good work. You s...

@KillmanBuck @JoInAthensGa @Eric_Conn Do you have a scripture that says that men ruling is a blessing? Again, you are taking Is 3:12 out of its context. God’s judgment was to take all the faithful out of Israel leaving the incompetent and unfaithful...

@KillmanBuck @JoInAthensGa @Eric_Conn You took a text out of its context and the improperly applied it to another text. What appears to be driving your interpretation is a disdain for egalitarianism. The equal treatment of women was practiced by th...

@amerikanergent @RoiRogers2 @ZA_Legacy @smashbaals Mutuality is perhaps a better term as this isn’t about asserting one’s rights. Headship in Paul’s thinking is not what we are used to in our context but has to do with the origin of things like marri...

@revjeffvox @JollyStine @ScottCross_8 @Sean_M_Dennis @DrSampler @andreacavie @RevChrisDavis This is a clear misapplication of the context of Paul’s letter. He is not teaching that all women are not to teach men, but that a specific woman—who is teach...

@GetoD6812 @pastherandie No one is saying that wives shouldn't submit to their husbands, just that husbands should also submit to their wives because it is mutual. No one is ignoring the Bible. It's called reading in context. A text without the con...

@PeterThreshwood @Almsivi7 Headship doesn’t mean authority over in this context.

@The_Sig_ You are importing a modern understand of what “head” means in the English. You have to investigate to understand what Paul means by using this term in context. Since both Jesus and the Father are the uncreated creator, there is no sense in ...

@ronhenzel @carol66944 Ron, take off your patriarchy glasses so you can see the context of each of those passages clearly. At minimum, engaging with those who take scripture seriously but disagree with you based on Biblical precedent should give you...

@ronhenzel 1. Paul writes in 1Co 7:1, "Now concerning the things about which you wrote..." ⎯ since there are no quotation marks in the Greek manuscripts, any quotations are determined by the details in the context. Your statement that there's nothin...

@ronhenzel @ymmotrojam @pastherandie @kriesese @smashbaals The disjunctive "or" in Paul's letters is multifunctional and context-dependent. In 1Co 14:36, Paul uses "or" in rhetorical questions to challenge the Corinthian believers, which I assert is ...

@ronhenzel @pastherandie @ymmotrojam @kriesese @smashbaals These are two very different situations and contexts. There is no discrimination whatsoever in 1Co 11:33-34 ⎯ in fact, it is because of discriminatory behaviour that Paul is correcting them. ...

@ymmotrojam @pastherandie @ronhenzel @kriesese @smashbaals I appreciate this admission, but I assure you⎯there is no "sucking" of apostolic authority at all! Paul is giving the full context of what the Corinthians wrote. How could he include less an...

@ronhenzel @ScottCross_8 @ewarner88 @JollyStine @pastherandie @peace_got @ymmotrojam @MikeWingerii Thanks. I only had to spend $11 this time to read the context. Collins himself admits that the wayyiqtol **normally** implies: "Genesis 2:19 seems to...

@biblemarriages @kgaugelo_N @SupermomShayla If that was the case, polygamy would be encouraged in the New Testament. Rather, it is clearly not encouraged. Monogomy is a requirement for leaders. And for all, in the context of asceticism and the probl...

@ymmotrojam @Happy_AHeathen @CherylSchatz @JollyStine @pastherandie @ronhenzel @peace_got @MikeWingerii But we both believe that the Bible is inspired, right? In every word and even the grammar? I am not throwing out any part of it. Everything in com...

@jonedwardcroft The Bible should be understandable to all. But we need to be able to read in context. Nature is nature, it is what we can readily observe by just observing. Culture is everything that we do to change nature, like cutting hair. The IS...

@ronhenzel In isolation, it is generic. In the context of v14 where you have the noun repeated with the article, no you have a possibility it is specific. You have to ask questions like, “Is it referring to Eve or someone else? Why did Paul shift fro...

@MythosMayhem @ronhenzel It says “saved through THE childbearing”—it is a definite noun, not a verb. Given that in the context, Paul is referring to Eve and connecting her situation as a prototype of a specific wife teaching heresy in Ephesus, Paul ...

@ronhenzel Especially in the context where we have *two* anarthrous nouns. How do we decide? What is Paul intending in the context? Why not the personal pronoun? How is a generic woman saved through ‘the childbearing’ when not all women bear children...
