@nomorestrange @LifeWithoutLack @smashbaals There are many women who are single or widows or separated. Paul was single and advocated for singleness (1 Cor 7:7,8,11,26,27). Are you saying that women only have a head if they are married? 1 Cor 11:3...

@rbbowman7 @smashbaals The picture in the New Testament of the church is a willing subjection to rather than the idea of obedience (which can often refer to unwilling obedience). The difference is in the will. Our example is in Christ Himself who s...

@LifeWithoutLack @melvin39056 There is a sense in which there is a dividing wall between male and female, else what does Gal 3:28 refer to by suggesting this dividing wall is taken down in Christ? But I agree with you that in general, even the OT is...

@TetzlaffJoshua @smashbaals As Paul elaborated in 1 Tim 2:13-14, Eve was deceived but Adam who was right beside her and heard what she said to the serpent sinned with knowledge since he was created first and had experience of God creating animals and...

@chopchopcda_ @smashbaals Why is the burden on the male only? Both the husband and wife need to manage the home as co-labourers. Both the man and the wife strategize on division of labour for providing for the family. That may mean one agrees to w...

@thee_ppd @BenZeisloft That was Paul dealing with those who said you had to be circumcised to be saved. Read what Paul said to the women. Paul advises women to focus on inner godliness rather than external adornment. He suggests that a woman's true...

@GodandQountry @BenZeisloft "Adding to the Bible" sounds like a nice distraction

@The_Wry_Griot @Cadogan_Barde @Brian_Sauve Paul said that “because of sexual immorality” and “because of your lack of self control” each was to have their own spouse. In verse 7 Paul says “Yet I wish that all people were even as I myself am” and ag...

@KaeleyT @pauldirks I’m not sure your specific circumstances, but removing someone from an abusive situation—depending on the nature of the abuse, and raising the issue strongly to leadership would be first steps. Consideration of reporting the issu...

@OwenKeller950M3 @BenZeisloft Those who believe only males are to lead in the church seem to be saying that there’s something about the male that alone has the capacity to lead and perhaps fully understand theology in order to convey it properly. My...

@pauldirks @KaeleyT Thanks for the response and clarifications. To answer your first questions: The Bible argues that God has instituted authorities to maintain order and serve the common good. Romans 13:1-7 is a central passage that addresses this...

@FaFfRn @Manda2364333130 @Brian_Sauve It’s actually listed as follows: 1. Christ -&gt; every man (ie. mankind) 2. Husband -&gt; Wife 3. God -&gt; Christ Taken strictly on its own, this passage does not appear to be listing hierarchies of authority a...

@Manda2364333130 @Brian_Sauve Not so. Gen 3:16 was spoken to the woman, not the man, and it wasn’t an imperative and the tense allows for future fulfillment (a prophecy). We have been told so many times that God ordained males to lead that we think...

“Lords: They rule well.” - Gen 1:28 is a plural imperative commanding both men and women to "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion…”. Are you encouraging women to violate God’s command? “Husbandmen: They shep...

@rightresponsem Joel, I’m afraid this teaching is in direct contradiction to the scriptures which say that in the same manner that you received the result of one man’s sin, through one man the sin of every human has been dealt with. What is required...

@KaeleyT I’m as frustrated as you by this response. But it is a sure sign that your opponent doesn’t have a strong Biblical response if they lead with pejoratives. I take it as a complement of job well done and move on to someone who actually cares...

@EtAbundatGratia @JayMuratore @MikeWingerii It is eisegesis or confirmation bias to read into Gen 3:16 that she desires to rule her husband. Gen 4:7 is a different context. Sin is not a person, but metaphorically, if sin wants Cain perhaps like a w...

@EtAbundatGratia @JayMuratore @MikeWingerii @ryanshatz God’s design which ends at day 7 shows no evidence of the man being given the command to rule over the wife, but that they are to rule together over creation. This is an imperative plural in Gen...

@JayMuratore @MikeWingerii But how do you know what her desire is from that? Perhaps what God is saying is that despite her mistreatment, she will still desire her husband. This is played out time and time again with abusive husbands. You wonder w...

@MichaelBerg888 This assumes that He didn’t have other reasons for choosing only male apostles in the original 12. Just as God originally chose the Jews, we as Gentiles are now grafted into one. I argue that in the same way God has broken down the ...

@bigzachus @ShieldAndCross @BrotherBoaz The question though is whether nature teaches you that long hair is a shame or whether that is cultural. Nature teaches you that arm and leg hair stops growing at a certain length, but this is not the case for...

@GregThornberg This is the Apostle Paul's response to those who are "arrogant towards the [natural] branches": “But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the...

@antemodernist @JakobFel @BenZeisloft @smashbaals Well, it could also be that the bias of the rest of the translators is involved. The fact is that nature doesn’t teach us there is a difference between male and female head hair. And Paul says there...

@smashbaals Care to help Paul out here and elaborate? https://t.co/Vuybl5IH6H

@JakobFel @BenZeisloft @smashbaals No, that’s not it either. But you are right it’s in the context. Here’s the ISV: 1 Corinthians 11:14–15 (ISV): “Nature itself teaches you **NEITHER** that it is disgraceful for a man to have long hair **NOR** tha...
