@DickSaban1 The phrase “one wife husband” repeated for deacons and also in Titus 1 and in 1 Tim 5:9 as “one husband wife” is an idiom for faithful to one’s spouse if married. Paul was not married and advocated for singleness so this cannot mean must...

@outcatching @GlennDavies @danitreweek It is not clear throughout scripture that women cannot be elders and deacons. I trust the scriptures too. You are free to agree with John MacArthur.

@outcatching @GlennDavies @danitreweek Yes, we are all servants, but not all hold the office of deacon. Same word, whether it’s the office or just service depends on the context. Scripture nowhere contradicts itself. I completely agree. Paul writ...

@GlennDavies @outcatching @danitreweek Hi Glen. Paul wasn't a permanent pastor in a congregation. But he is most certainly an overseer. Overseers often oversee multiple congregations, helping with issues and assisting other pastors. It's the same...

@outcatching @GlennDavies @danitreweek This way of framing our difference is disingenuous. You don’t see that how you interpret this issue is through your patriarchal rubric? You split a hair on one detail in the phrase “one wife husband” and don’t...

@outcatching @GlennDavies @danitreweek Jesus says to eat His flesh and drink His blood and no one starts cannibalizing him. Jesus is a gate, a door, etc. I’m literally interpreting Paul’s idiom. It’s not hidden so you cannot see it, but your patri...

@nsraban Well, you are right that 1 Tim 2:11-15 is referring to a married woman…

@nsraban Interesting because I believe 1 Cor 14:34-35 is a quote from the letter

@nsraban Actually, it seems 1 Cor 14:34-35 says all women are to keep silent because their speaking is shameful. Those who are married can ask their husbands at home. It totally goes against Paul’s instructions that all can prophesy and all can lea...

@Robert_S_Morley @FearlessExpress @autocorrect2_0 Here’s a thread I created on 1 Tim 2:11-15 showing that this passage is dealing with a specific woman and her husband. The woman is deceived so Paul doesn’t name her but it’s a personal letter to Tim...

@nsraban @CovenantReform2 @smashbaals Yes, Nice find. But Num 30:13 isn’t a law silencing women in the assembly but confirming whether her vow which she speaks is in force and binding. Kind of different. Gen 3:16 is a prophecy to the woman about w...

@outcatching @GlennDavies @danitreweek The English translations insert male pronouns likely because of the phrase "one wife husband" but the passage is not intending to say an elder must not be a woman or must not be single or must have children. Ta...

@GlennDavies @outcatching @danitreweek “One wife husband” is written in the male form and the default would be to follow the male form but it doesn’t require “must be male” or “must not be female” just like elders are not required to be married and h...

@GlennDavies @outcatching @danitreweek Both forms are used so I summarized as “faithful to one’s spouse”. 1 Tim 3:2,12; Tit 1:6 is the husband form and 1 Tim 5:9 the wife form. The “he’s” are following the default but the male pronoun isn’t there. ...

@GlennDavies @outcatching @danitreweek This is implied. If the person is a man and is married, he must be faithful to his spouse. If married and having kids then must have the kids under control. This does not imply that a person cannot be an elder ...

@ronhenzel @IsKing333 You are right that the WCF does say you can have an infallible assurance of faith. It would seem that they think that no one that God has passed by would be able to do the things stated in the WCF here. RC however said in his ...

@outcatching @GlennDavies @danitreweek I’m not dismissing anything. I’m exegeting this idiom in context. I think we need to first address your comment “That’s the behaviour of an egalitarian, not a Believer.” Are you suggesting I’m not a Christian...

@outcatching @TomBuck The apostles were selected before the church began and they are unique as there are only 12 and they must have been with Jesus. Paul is certainly unique in that his claim to being with Jesus was after His resurrection. Most el...

@uncledando @ChristChurchTe1 @TomBuck No doubt you are correct there are disparities all over. But the woman is the very flesh and bone of the man and equal to him. This is not about envy or death. I have no idea how you get this characterization ...

@outcatching @TomBuck Firstly, all believers are priests already. You are right to think that leadership requires mature examples, but 1 Tim 3:2 says literally “one wife husband” which doesn’t mean married (Paul isn’t married) but faithful if marrie...

@uncledando @ChristChurchTe1 @TomBuck “You can demonstrate that you’re being honest by dealing with a single point that’s made.” - Ok. “When I’m talking with people I never assume I’m being honest.” - (scratching head) “The Pharisees thought they w...

@uncledando @ChristChurchTe1 @TomBuck I’m not disputing the apostles and the Law. You are making baseless allegations. Maybe you think that’s fun and I’m supposed to laugh, but you should be concerned about truth. Given that God is over all humani...

@uncledando @ChristChurchTe1 @TomBuck Egalitarianism is a philosophy that says there is no hierarchy of one gender over the other, no ruling or authority of simply because of gender. Gender and ethnicity are baked into the OT system. Any male with ...

@RobertZ60423932 @NiceNeanderthal @Red_Beard_1Sgt Plain English? But it’s Greek. Further, it cannot mean “must be married” (Paul himself wasn’t married), and this doesn’t say “must not be a woman”. Given no male pronouns are used in this passage a...

@BogdanOancea77 Again, I don't believe Paul is constrained ONLY to answer questions. He is correcting their misunderstandings and statements. I don't see "your women" in v34, but "the women" (nominative, not genitive as I think would be used for "y...

@BogdanOancea77 @Hansronsdorf The ἢ in v36 is followed by two rhetorical questions which are obviously not true. Verses 34-35 don't contain a question (Paul is often just commenting on things they wrote), but they say things that contradict other th...

@uncledando @TomBuck "Another spirit is working in you"⎯people said this to Jesus too. You should really avoid going here just because we disagree on a secondary matter. Please define for me what "husband/wife distinction" means to you? Sarah resp...

@uncledando @TomBuck Well, surely it's at least self aware. Perhaps you are suggesting the transgender community is trying to end any distinction in male/female. Granted. But also you didn't define what you meant by "husband/wife distinction" ⎯ I ...

@ekkiet @ChrisHohnholz That’s correct. The idea being that she is deceived and so Paul is preserving her dignity until Timothy has a chance to deal with her. It’s a personal letter from Paul to Timothy so Timothy would know. This interpretation ma...

@rightresponsem I think your view is one of many that complementarians have to navigate as the Bible doesn’t give guidance and when, where and how a woman can teach, what to do if men are present, how an overseer oversees without violating these rule...

@TetzlaffJoshua @jhillky2 @NiceNeanderthal @Red_Beard_1Sgt What if Paul is quoting from the letter from the Corinthians (which he did frequently in 1 Corinthians (he indicates this in 1 Cor 7:1)? What if this is not a law of God but one that contrad...

@BogdanOancea77 @Hansronsdorf Hans may have a different viewpoint, but I would think there was some disagreement. There's a quote something like this: "You put three Jews in a room you get four opinions." At any rate, Paul refers to Judiazers that ...
