Mike Winger idea 2022-03-07

Women as authors and book endorsements — Mike endorsed Natasha Crain's book 'Faithfully Different' and asks whether that endorsement is acceptable.

Scope of practical questions raised by this debate

Natasha Crain Faithfully Different women authors
Mike Winger idea 2022-03-07

Israel as God's chosen nation is another example: other nations could not qualify no matter how faithful, yet this does not make them less human.

Mistake #4: Chosen nation analogy

nature-based roles Israel as chosen nation election
Mike Winger idea 2022-04-13

Elders as official teachers carrying apostolic doctrine

Mike describes the teaching function of elders.

1 Timothy 3:8-13: deacon requirements with the key question of verse 11 -- wives or women deacons?

Mike turns to the definitive passage on deacon qualifications.

1 Timothy 3:11 1 Timothy 3:8-13 women deacons 1 Timothy 3:11 1 Timothy 3:8-13
Mike Winger idea 2022-04-13

Argument for women deacons: the word 'likewise' creates a three-part structure (elders, deacons, women)

Mike builds the case for reading verse 11 as female deacons.

1 Timothy 3:11 women deacons 1 Timothy 3:11 hosautos (likewise)
Mike Winger idea 2022-04-13

'Faithful in all things' as a catch-all summarizing remaining deacon requirements for women

Mike explains why the women's requirements are slightly shorter.

1 Timothy 3:11 women deacons 1 Timothy 3:11 faithful in all things
Mike Winger idea 2022-05-30

No special group of Christians should serve as a bridge to God's grace for other Christians

Mike argues against any form of priestly mediation within Christianity.

Hebrews 6:19 Roman Catholicism mediation Hebrews 6:19
Mike Winger idea 2022-05-30

1 Corinthians 12:8-11 — speaking gifts (word of wisdom, word of knowledge, tongues, interpretation) seem available to women by analogy with prophecy

Mike examines another gifts list and finds it would be arbitrary to say women can prophesy but not have other speaking gifts.

1 Corinthians 12:8-11 1 Corinthians 12:8-11 word of wisdom word of knowledge

Westfall's translation of Galatians 3:26-29 and 'sonship status' rendering

Mike evaluates Westfall's personal translation of the key passage.

Galatians 3:26-29 Cynthia Long Westfall Galatians 3:26-29 huioi (sons)
Mike Winger idea 2022-06-20

Sonship benefit #2: Full participation of being in Christ — equal standing regardless of background

Mike identifies the second element of Paul's sonship teaching.

Galatians 3:26 Galatians 3:26 in Christ justification by faith
Mike Winger idea 2022-06-20

Sonship benefit #3: Justification by faith

Mike identifies the third element Paul associates with sonship.

Galatians 2 Galatians 3:24 Galatians 2 justification by faith Galatians 3:24
Mike Winger idea 2022-06-20

Peter's withdrawal was about soteriological status, not social discrimination broadly

Mike recontextualizes Galatians 2 to show it supports his reading, not Westfall's.

Galatians 2:11-16 Peter justification by faith Galatians 2:11-16
Mike Winger idea 2022-06-20

Tom Schreiner on the fundamental purpose of Galatians 3:28

Mike cites Schreiner's succinct summary of the verse's meaning.

Mike Winger idea 2022-08-15

Sarah obeying Abraham as an example that rules out purely evangelistic interpretation

Mike argues the Sarah example confirms submission is a general godly pattern, not culturally bound.

1 Peter 3:5-6 Genesis 18:12 Sarah Abraham 1 Peter 3:5-6
Mike Winger idea 2022-08-15

Titus 2 as test case: 'that the word of God may not be reviled' doesn't make things merely cultural

Mike provides extended analysis of whether evangelistic purpose equals cultural binding.

Titus 2:1-10 word of God not reviled Titus 2:1-10 cultural vs transcultural

Linda Belleville's view on Miriam from the Two Views on Women in Ministry book.

Presenting the egalitarian case for Miriam

Linda Belleville Tom Schreiner Two Views on Women in Ministry
Mike Winger idea 2022-03-28

Belleville's two claims about Miriam: she was 'sent to lead' Israel (Micah 6:4) and was so valued Israel wouldn't travel without her 'at the helm' (Numbers 12:1-16).
