@The_Wry_Griot @smashbaals I wouldn’t talk about God’s Word this way, since this is what God’s word actually means. I am merely advocating for the truth. Is it a sin for a man to learn to serve and subject himself to the needs of others (Eph 5:21)?...

@40tons70mph @Brian_Sauve @CovenantReform2 Whether it was the hotbed of gender egalitarianism or not, the truth stands. It doesn’t matter if currently the culture gets some things correct. You don’t judge something by the current cultural backdrop ...

@Brian_Sauve The purpose of learning theology is to teach others everything Jesus taught his disciples. “In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You nee...

@IanThom01 @SamuelJJack2 Well, no, women (and men) are not supposed to teach false doctrine…God doesn’t stop anyone from speaking truth. That passage in 1 Cor 14:34-35 is Paul quoting form the letter from the Corinthians and rebuking the men silenci...

@DDinho555 @Fahim_4real @Sa_Gwang Women preaching true doctrine or pastoring (making disciples according to Matt 28:18-20) is heresy?? I realize you believe it is wrong but heresy is usually reserved for things that make someone outside of the faith...
