@StothersRyan @Svigel There is no scripture in the NT that says that it is the elders’ authority to remove someone who is unrepentant. “The church” in Mt 18:15-20 does not mean “the elders.” I have been in several churches which structured themselves...

@LordOfBalance What would that achieve? Do you consider yourself open minded? How about let’s briefly test the waters: how do you define what egalitarian means from a Christian perspective?

@carol66944 @OrinRomine Eve was deceived, but Adam transgressed eyes wide open.

@carol66944 @OrinRomine Eve was deceived, but Adam transgressed eyes wide open. Paul affirms both truths. But in 1Ti 2:14–15, he focuses on the woman and offers a path to restoration—not to Adam, no

@carol66944 @OrinRomine Paul says the woman was deceived, not the man (1Ti 2:14). She believed false teaching and needed correction and salvation (v15). He was not deceived. So Paul doesn’t say they are both in need of salvation, but that her salvat...

@carol66944 @OrinRomine Second, Greek doesn’t require repeating nouns when the subject is understood. The subject chain is: • Eve (v14) = “the woman” • σωθήσεται (v15) = “she will be saved” → clearly still the woman • ἐὰν μείνωσιν = “if they remain…...

@carol66944 @OrinRomine But 1Ti 2:15 says “She will be saved…”. You can’t change ‘she…saved’ to ‘he…preserved,’ from ‘the woman’ to ‘Adam.’ First, Adam cannot be modified at the time of writing as he is dead. Same with Eve. Second, this doesn’t addre...
