@kgaugelo_N @katsandhearts @VoicesHead100 @3HillsMinor @Rattle_Resists @Kdubtru @michael_ronning How would Paul refer to a specific woman if he wanted to do so without naming her? This was a personal letter to Timothy, after all. And Paul said in 1...

@kgaugelo_N @katsandhearts @VoicesHead100 @3HillsMinor @Rattle_Resists @Kdubtru @michael_ronning I doubt you can either. How is 1 Tim 2:12 applying to all women when the text clearly says “a woman”?

@LearningReason @itskellydiane @SummrWrites Interesting, I've never heard someone say that women have to cover their head in the privacy of their own bedroom while praying. That phrase "symbol of" is not in the Greek. It is added by translators who...

@yorel480 @lasteveharvest @itskellydiane What? Where are you getting this from? There's nothing in the Talmud that specifies shaving a prostitutes head as a form of punishment. The Bible calls for the death penalty for adultery. Maybe there were Gre...

@naegore @lasteveharvest @itskellydiane I think you are missing what Paul is saying here. Paul says in verse 6 that "If a woman does not cover her head, let her also cut her hair"⎯κειράσθω is a permissive imperative in the middle voice (ie. Paul is ...

Here's a commentary on this verse from Leon Morris in the TNTC "1 Corinthians: an introduction and commentary" (Vol. 7, p. 149). Morris states that kephale in LSJ is "never for the leader of a group." He believes it means 'source' (as 'head' of a r...

@EnderWender1 4️⃣ Leon Morris quotes from the LSJ: 3. It is easy to be too definite in interpreting head in this verse. We use the term often for a person in authority (cf. ‘Heads of State’), but this usage was unknown in antiquity (except for a few...

@2samuel12 @_anandacaseyy The idea of the husband being the head of the wife is often misunderstood. I believe it is a mapping back to the first marriage which serves as the foundation for all marriages where Adam was literally the source of Eve bei...

@pauldirks @DeeGoingsGirl @KaeleyT If you read "head" as "master" then I can see how you get to this understanding. However, this is not the only sense of keyphale. Because I understand Eph 5:21 describing mutual submission and because I understand...

@pauldirks @KaeleyT @DeeGoingsGirl Kephale having the possible meaning of source (supported by how the word is being used in its context) is absolutely important to the egalitarian view of these supposed gender hierarchy passages. Everything goes ba...

@pastherandie @Pathfinder4545 @ChristVictorous @Brian_Sauve The question is what does the text mean by head, because Paul sees Adam as the head of Eve. Kephale has a range of meaning and the meaning intended is understood by the context. In this, t...

@ymmotrojam Need I remind you that 1 Cor 14:34-35 comes *after* 1 Cor 11:5? If your interpretation is correct, Paul would have to say in chapter 11 that the women were doing something that they weren’t supposed to because it assumes they were doing ...

@Deigratia1985 @ymmotrojam @ich1ban123456 The word kephale has a possible meaning of source or origin. As marriage always goes back to its origin in Eden where Adam was the source of Eve (she was made from his bone and flesh and not directly from th...

@ich1ban123456 @ymmotrojam 1 Tim 2:11 doesn't say women cannot be pastors. Titus 1 uses generic pronouns like τις (tis⎯anyone, someone), same for 1 Tim 3. Headship has nothing to do with authority but source relationships. You have been thoroughly...

@ymmotrojam Again, you are making up this whole idea of formal/informal, and it only causes confusion, especially when you tie it to sin. Further, Paul's instruction was actually NOT to cover one's head. That includes women. Except if a woman is m...

@jdenehar We follow elders if they relate God's instructions accurately. So who we are following is actually God and His Word. Elders don't have a special teaching "authority" but a responsibility and a service to offer. About headship, take a loo...

@RandallVaughn14 @AlanChilde36050 @Moonwood570 @5Solas2 I have a question to ask you: what authority does a pastor have? If he tells you to do something that contradicts the Bible or violates your conscience, will you listen? If he says you cannot ...

@Cadogan_Barde @Deigratia1985 @MikeWingerii Yes, that is a reasonable approach. In this case, the text even says that wives have authority over their own head to decide whether or not to cover their head or not. That means covering one’s head is no...

@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...

@imaso001 @smashbaals Head can mean the one who is in charge, but it has other meanings to do with prominence or first or protruding, or source or origin. From the context, Paul is not meaning authority of one gender over another as this is very cle...

Exposition of 1 Cor 11:3. Paul explains that the "head" of every man is Christ, the man is the "head" of a woman and God is the "head" of Christ. "Head" in this context means source or origin, as this is confirmed in vs 12: "For as the woman origina...
