@CalebDixonSmith @opreterista That sounds eerily close to “what is a woman?” You mean “what kind of body?” The passage you are referring to is actually from Paul, not Jesus. It is found in 1 Corinthians 15:35-44: "But someone will ask, 'How are th...

@avyargo So the same person who is a woman will no longer be a woman in the next

@avyargo So the same person who is a woman will no longer be a woman in the next age? The scripture says no marriage—you think there will be a fundamental change and my wife will become a male? 😬

@ronhenzel @Robert_S_Morley @Grump_Old_Man @smashbaals Is Paul not allowed to convey instructions personally to Timothy in this letter addressed to him only about a specific woman whom Paul doesn’t want to name as she is deceived and hasn’t yet been ...

@Robert_S_Morley @Grump_Old_Man @ronhenzel @smashbaals Was there a threat to marriages and the church if “a husband” assumed authority over “a wife”? “The woman” in v14 which is the subject of “She will be saved” in v15 cannot be Eve as the salvatio...

@Robert_S_Morley @Grump_Old_Man @ronhenzel @smashbaals If Paul’s statements are general in 1Ti 2:11-12 for all women, then it should apply regardless if there is an Artemis cult or not—for all the churches. Why make a specific statement for “a woman”...

@BBWoofield First, there's no mention of God cursing the man or the woman, only the ground and the serpent (more than all the animals, so the animals are cursed too). What Ge 3:16 is saying is that Eve's desire or longing for her husband will be des...

@geekyguyjay But God didn't curse the woman or the man. If you look at the test, He cursed the ground and the serpent (and the animals). The "patriarchy" culture I'm referring to isn't even from the Old Testament, it's from the time after Jesus. It'...

Some say that egalitarians are just letting the culture influence their view of

@ronhenzel @smashbaals Well, all but the churches in scripture. But you are right. The church really was influenced by the culture. Let’s see just how culturally relevant your view is: Aristotle: “Silence is a woman’s glory.” Sophocles: "Silence gi...

@ryancduff Silence is a woman’s glory? Wow. Just like a pet.

@jtdxn_ There was a certain woman caught in the act of adultery. Jesus said: ‘Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.’ Then we have the following: "For what business of mine is it to judge outsiders? Do you not j...

@Grump_Old_Man @BahBahBased @MikeWingerii What translation is that? Verse 11 isn’t using the article “the woman.” At any rate, why doesn’t Paul continue using the plural as in v9-10? How does stopping women from teaching deal with the false teaching ...

@BahBahBased @zie95776 @MikeWingerii Paul didn’t write that American women were more easily deceived. He wrote that because of the time sequence between the first man and the first woman Adam wasn’t deceived but Eve was. Why? Because Adam witnessed G...

@zie95776 @BahBahBased @MikeWingerii Actually, when you take the text out of its context to mean something that wasn’t intended, that is more like what the serpent did. That’s not what I am doing. I’m not sowing doubt. I’m explaining the intended me...

@zie95776 @BahBahBased @MikeWingerii Why did Paul write ‘a woman’ instead of ‘women’ like in vs9-10? Why did Paul use authentein, a verb form that is only found once in the Bible and 8 times in antiquity if he meant normal authority? Paul notes tha...

@zie95776 @BahBahBased @MikeWingerii Being a female and a pastor does NOT violate scripture! And whether affirming churches are run by women or not is immaterial. You are just repeating the stuff you were told. 1Ti 2:12 says nothing about pastors, i...

@CNistEnjoyer That passage says “a woman” and “a man,” connects them with another couple Adam and Eve, uses the article “the woman” in v14 as an anaphoric reference to identify “a woman” in v11-12 to be a particular woman and that woman will be saved...

@3GNRTX The ‘naming’ of ‘woman’ (pre-fall) is simply an observation that Isha (woman) came out of Ish (man). That’s not a name, but an observation of what God did. And God used it first in the text. There is no indication of authority observed in th...

@3GNRTX The word used in 1Ti 2:11-12 translated “a woman” can also be translated

@3GNRTX In 1Ti 2:14, Paul says “the woman” instead of Eve—while Eve as her prototype is closely connected with this particular wife, only this Ephesian woman could be saved in the future tense if both her and her husband continue in the true faith. E...

@coramdeo1 I’m not ignoring the literary structure of Gen 1-3. That the man is created first, the woman is created from the man and she is created for the man does not imply or require that she is to be ruled by the man. Authority is given to both t...

@Trentofthenorth @kdclaunch The command was first given to Adam, then later to both Adam and Eve (Eve’s quoting God has Him speaking to plural persons). Adam called her “woman” or “Isha” as she came out of “Ish”—it’s a functional association and has...

@coramdeo1 Comps are speculating that creation order is about hierarchy and authority. What evidence is there that authority structures are present between the man and the woman in Gen 2-3? You claim that the serpent violates the order by approachi...

@Cooper9DL Yes, quite serious. A godly woman teaching truth to people (including

The serpent approaches the woman as she can be deceived. There is no evidence that anyone present is aware of any gender-based hierarchy. The serpent doesn’t say anything about being liberated from Adam’s authority. Adam is also right beside Eve li...

This is a misreading of 1Ti 2:13-14—Paul is using Adam and Eve as prototypes of a specific couple in Ephesus. Why? Because the woman was ignorant and deceived and as Paul outlined in 1Ti 1, those who are ignorant receive mercy meaning not naming them...

While it is true that mankind was given authority over the rest of creation, the woman was uniquely created from Adam’s flesh and bone whereas the other animals were individually created from the dust. This shows there is no hierarchy between the ma...

@EkIesou @smashbaals It is correct to say that ‘a woman’ can either refer to a specific woman/wife or a generic woman/wife. The way we determine which it is is by the context. Paul’s reference to Adam and Eve as a prototypical couple and the “She…the...
