@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...

@JamesGi27467089 Hm. Women can only serve in subservient roles under male leadership, so what I heard them saying was how happy and blessed they were to see women contribute and serve and even how their mother’s instructed them as children—though suc...

@JamesGi27467089 I’m quite happy when complementarians allow more and more freedom to women to take more influential positions. If it is only a denial of the title but allowing them to teach others including men and provide pastoral counseling, and l...

@TheAwokeSlayer @indigopumpkin @rightresponsem I believe in the authority of the Bible. But no apostle has any authority to command what scripture doesn’t command. Paul didn’t use his authority but appealed. Can’t any believer also appeal? And if wha...

@Unique95185 @rightresponsem You are getting closer to what a Christian leader is supposed to look like. A Christian leader is not a military commander or someone who makes dictates that are to be unquestionably followed. I care because much of the ...

@Unique95185 @rightresponsem Leading is not about taking authority over people,

@PrinceAsbel @dalepartridge I quoted from the scriptures. Submit doesn’t mean unquestioningly obey or that the one being submitted to is an authority over the one submitting. It means laying down your interests to do what is best for others. Jesus di...

@BronWen727104 @RenewedReformed @sola_chad But then why without v34-36 would Paul even say v37? In 37, Paul reasserts his apostolic authority: “If anyone thinks that he is a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize that the things which I write to yo...

@evaanderberg @dalepartridge How do you know it didn’t exist for the first 1900 years? I go back to the apostles and I believe that women were leaders in the apostolic churches because of the Biblical text. That said, there were churches far longer t...

@Bryan09282024 @CapturingChrist Jam 1:4 is about personal perseverance leading to spiritual maturity, not about the authority of scripture. 2Ti 3:16-17 is about scripture being sufficient to equip believers for every good work, meaning it contains a...

@danitreweek I don’t see why complementarian doesn’t mean that men and women are

@TimRehmer @dougponder The authority of scripture is definitely another primary, and I am not only not questioning it, but upholding it! Asking questions about the text is not imitating the serpent. Further, what the serpent said was factually false...

@ROM_12_2 @Eric_Conn You seem like a great guy and it’s great to see you enjoy your job. However, no matter how rare it would be for a woman to take a physical job like that, it is possible and I have seen it. I don’t think that anyone should have a...

@graceforprize @ComeBack_Yeshua @Rattle_Resists @michael_ronning You are making this up since Eve is never said to authentein Adam (and the LXX is the Greek OT). She didn’t even speak to Adam or teach him in the text of Genesis 3. That Adam is prophe...

@graceforprize @ComeBack_Yeshua @Rattle_Resists @michael_ronning Huh? Where does scripture ever say that Eve was authentein over Adam? Check the LXX if you must. She doesn’t even talk to Adam, only the serpent! Also, God doesn’t curse the man nor th...

@graceforprize @ComeBack_Yeshua @Rattle_Resists @michael_ronning Yes, Jesus sent Paul to the Gentiles, but why do you say he only chose men? What about Priscilla who went with him on his journeys and Junia who was highly esteemed among the apostles? ...

@SavedbygraceIII @JohnJoh26521652 @Eric_Conn Matthew He tu was confused by this passage too. First, teaching itself has not authority as the Bereans demonstrated—it is the content, if true, that has authority. Second, if women can teach at home, at w...

@scottspeig @MikeWingerii No. He made the spreading of the teaching a primary matter. To him it is the teaching itself that leads to harm against his view of church leadership and gender hierarchy in marriage. I’m not calling Mike to repent of sprea...

@ymmotrojam @onedayatatimeLB @smashbaals Paul’s sarcastic tone suggests that some in Corinth were acting as though they had special authority to dictate who could speak. Paul's commands are "For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn...

@ymmotrojam @onedayatatimeLB @smashbaals The accusative here emphasizes exclusive reception—Paul is challenging their presumed monopoly on divine authority. It’s as if he’s saying, “Do you really think God’s word is for you alone?” Clearly they think...
