@reformedbapty @smashbaals Paul was both an elder and an apostle (Peter identified himself as an elder, see 1 Pet 5:1). If Paul was single and advocated for singleness (1 Cor 7) and didn’t have child

@smashbaals We are told to tolerate unbelievers. Where did you see the Apostle Paul destroying idols? Rather he used one of them to preach the gospel!

@IdiocracyTL @smashbaals Ok, except the Bible is not fiction.

@realvamphours @IssaDegen @smashbaals On the other hand, when a complementarian “exegetes” it, it’s usually them just quoting it. Many don’t even seem to recognize that Paul’s grammar and word usage is complicated in this personal instruction to Tim...

@IIIIIJOSHIIIII @smashbaals That response is getting tired. “The woman” is NOT Eve, but Eve is a prototype in that she was deceived while Adam was not. The situation in Ephesus mirrors that in the garden where a wife who is deceived and has left th...

@VoterTrump2024 @smashbaals There is this idea that God places authority structures in the home and church, but that’s not at all what He is doing. Leadership does not imply authority. Authority is in the Word, not the person. Leadership is carryi...

@KnightsTemplarB @Robert_S_Morley @smashbaals So when scripture says all Israel will be saved, does it mean the church will be saved one day? “And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: ‘The deliverer will come from Zion; he will turn godles...

@eltrucker87 @wbigs2001 @smashbaals Yes, he’s an apostle. Indeed, the qualifications are inspired from God and not just made up by Paul. But if a pastor or elder of overseer or bishop must be married and have multiple believing children, that means...

@nevermindlind @smashbaals Paul is quoting from the letter the Corinthians wrote (1 Cor 7:1). In this case, he is refuting what the Corinthians wrote. “What? came the word of God out from you [men]? or came it unto you [men] only?” (1 Cor 14:36 KJV...

@nevermindlind @smashbaals You are assuming the conclusion. The great commission is to make disciples and the early churches were not mega church buildings with special pulpits but house churches. In what sense is a woman who has the requisite char...

@smashbaals Because the Jews did not recognize their Messiah does not mean they had a different God. They just were not obedient. This would be like a disobedient Christian. Paul became a true Jew by fully obeying the OT scriptures. Paul, who was...
