@autocorrect2_0 @MikeWingerii Why does Paul make great pains to identify himself with all the other letters—particularly because some are making fake ones in his name—but then he doesn’t identify hims

@EliGhostGoon @rightresponsem Well, no attribution to Paul, reference or context

@PatrickHen1776 @AJMxya @harmonizedgrace The context is that Paul is writing a personal letter to Timothy instructing him to remain in Ephesus to stop certain ones from teaching false doctrine and to set things in order to help prevent this problem. ...

⚠️ The ESV translating Rev 17:8 as “names” (plural) is an attempt to harmonize “

🚩 What’s the problem? Rev 13:8 has singular “name,” matching “whose.” But Rev 17

@Tailfeathers_WA @ymmotrojam @dalepartridge Now that's odd, you don't think the Hebrew word for rule is the same in Ge 3:16 and 4:7? Take another look...it's there. Sin desires Cain, but Cain is told to "rule" it. But Eve is not 'sin' and God spea...

@Tailfeathers_WA @dalepartridge So what you are trying to teach me is that when doing a range of meaning study, we only consider the occurrences of the word in the same book or by the same author? Is that how this works? Ge 4:7 is a different conte...

@DirtBoyFarms @ruthmperry @iheartJ37 @harmonizedgrace Yes, that’s great. You found the *only* example where authority is used in the context of marital relationship and it is completely and 100% mutual. So you can scratch that off the list as anythi...

@RealDavidReece 1Ti 3:4 speaks of "one who rules their own household well"⎯there are no male pronouns. The term proistamenon (προϊστάμενον) in 1Ti 3:4 comes from the Greek verb proistēmi (προΐστημι), which means “to manage,” “to lead,” “to preside o...

@RealDavidReece Ah @RealDavidReece, one can quote passages without their context, but can you explain them in context? Ok, let's start with Eph 5:22-23👇 1/ Paul deliberately used hypotassō (submission) for husbands &amp; wives, not hypakouō (obedie...

@King_Brody @pastherandie Brody, are you assuming ‘head’ (literally the top of the body—it’s not a complex word) means authority or commander? Where does this idea come from? Is it context? Why isn’t ‘authority’ or ‘commander’ ever used for Jesus ove...

@DirtBoyFarms @iheartJ37 @harmonizedgrace You mean this person? Maybe you an answer the question. “how can hypotassō possibly convey one meaning for men &amp; an entirely different one for women when Paul uses the term just 1x to address both in t...

@MicheMoffatt @TomBuck Just remember that 'head' is not a hard word to translate. It is an anatomical word. How we understand it depends on the context and how it is used. Today, we use it typically of people to indicate who has authority. But is t...

@itbemeAllie @douglaswils I’m pretty sure you didn’t read that long thread in 3 mins. I’m not interesting in “keep sinning… it seems to be working…God is pleased.” I believe that my interpretation makes sense of the context and grammar—all the deta...

@MikeWingerii I appreciate you are trying to find a deeper defence from Rick War

@MikeWingerii @cdavidnorris Rick Warren unfortunately is not a very skilled teacher on defending Biblical doctrines. I discovered this when going through his 40 days series and purpose driven life. He often takes scriptures out of context. However, ...

@carol66944 The subject of δεῖ is always 3rd person singular in the New Testamen

@TheVaxScene @ManiCompreshun2 @MikeWingerii Wait, the Hebrew scripture on the account about creation and the fall in Eden is a lie created to deceive? Then why does Jesus, Paul and Jude all refer to it? (Mt 19:4-6; Mk 10:6-9; 1Co 15:22,45-49; 2Co 1...

@Robert_S_Morley @Protestia The word "apocalypse" comes from the Greek word "ἀποκάλυψις" (apokalypsis), which means "revelation," "unveiling," or "disclosure." It literally translates to "an uncovering" from the Greek words "apo," meaning "from" or "...

@Methodios007 Many people misinterpret scripture, including the EO and RC church

@Methodios007 In as much as they claim to have the correct interpretation of scripture, that's easy: I can read it and check it for myself. Scripture doesn't need a priest or bishop to tell me what it means unless I have have no knowledge of it. You ...

@Methodios007 You mean can I go back to the original autographs and validate from the hand writing that it was the apostle himself? Obviously I cannot do that. All the books of the New Testament identify the author except for Hebrews, and 1 and 3 Joh...

@Methodios007 Sure, you can use Greek if you want, though you still need to accurately represent it in English since that’s how we are conversing. Who are the following texts speaking about/to? Who is the us? The you? "To him who loves *us* and has...

@Methodios007 We don’t use Greek terms. We just call them elders or overseers.

@Methodios007 The Greek word πρεσβύτερος (presbyteros), which literally means "elder" is used to denote someone recognized with wisdom and the ability to lead and teach and with godly character. The term for overseer is ἐπίσκοπος (episkopos) which t...

@alhakim120000 @squidgy201 @OldPhilos @UniqueBeing2024 @smashbaals The passage is about how women have more considerations than just Christ. If they have a non-believing Jewish husband, uncovering can be interpreted as prostituting herself and she ma...

@peace_got @Protestia That was my point: you can either be in rebellion to what you believe the text says, or like me, actually following what the text teaches as I have shown it does not forbid female elders. You don’t have to agree with my interpr...

@TimGallantTN @Rattle_Resists @michael_ronning Imagination? Paul’s explicit purpose in writing to Timothy is to “instruct certain people not to teach strange doctrines” not to stop anyone from teaching true doctrine. I am explicitly using Paul’s pur...
