@3GNRTX Ep 5:21 says “Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.” The “be subject” verb shown in the English you quoted from v22 is not in the Greek as it comes from v21. What does this mean? It means that whatever v22 and following are sayin...

@3GNRTX Sometimes the Greek aner is used to refer to any person male or female, but most of the time it refers to males. As v9-10 refers to women, I see no reason to take v8 as anything other then men (plural). This doesn’t mean that the women weren’...

@baste_goblin @StephenStaedtl1 @DelaKram75 Of course. Maybe a bit wordier than you asked for, but here goes. God loves everyone including sinners (of which you were one too before you repented and believed). But scripture is clear that any s3xual r...

@3GNRTX Rather, this is in the context of Paul leaving Timothy in Ephesus to stop false teachers, deal with the consequences of the false teaching and setup the church to better manage false teaching. That statement wasn’t Paul instructing Timothy t...

@Dayagent47 As much as I love JM, unless I’m convinced that the Bible forbids female pastors, I’m not rebelling against the Bible. Maybe I’m confused, maybe I’m wrong in my interpretation, but rebelling against the Bible is not a valid charge. The B...

@Brian_Sauve So you changed ‘a woman’ to the plural and made authentein into nor

@Reformed_Zoomer @j_robert_kirk @MolderAnna26649 @Brian_Sauve You read scripture in snippets like there is zero context. Do you really think women are not to love sacrificially? REALLY?! Why do you suppose Paul gives what appears to be a one sided c...

@j_robert_kirk @Reformed_Zoomer @MolderAnna26649 @Brian_Sauve 1Ti 2:12 is a statement made in the context of a personal letter to Timothy in which Paul’s main concern was stopping false teaching and how to handle blaspheming false teachers differentl...

@LogicSaysBurn @Cooper9DL Fundamentally it’s the context that determines meaning; the range of meaning or past usage merely informs how Paul might have been using the word. So regardless, you have to go to the text in context as the final arbiter as ...

@Cooper9DL You are taking 1Ti 2:12 out of context and are treating “head” in the sense of authority or master over which is not the sense in which Paul was using the word kephale. Your comment about 1Ti 3:1-13 being directed at only men is likely due...

@coramdeo1 @kdclaunch You get my point? How? I am the one who is taking Paul’s purpose as written, and you are the one who is taking what is not explicit and making something more which is not stated and then taking the poor interpretation of many i...

@coramdeo1 @kdclaunch No one (including me) is arguing that the letters written to specific individuals were not intended to be read by the rest of us and treated as scripture. What I’m saying is that we must take Paul’s meaning in the context that ...

@StevenMKestner @kdclaunch No, absolutely not. I’m pointing out this detail as i

Because Kyle gets the context and purpose of the letter wrong and misunderstands

@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...

@smashbaals If you are this careless in exegeting scripture, I’m worried about you. 1. All women are not barred from preaching. 1Ti 2:12 doesn’t say anything about preaching, refers to “a woman” (singular) and not all women, in context has to do wit...

@smashbaals I don’t think you read my question very carefully. That verse is bei

@avyargo @_nomadic_soul How am I twisting it by making sense of every detail in the grammar and the context? You have accepted an interpretation that doesn’t even make sense of the history where we have women like Deborah instructing and teaching me...

@KillmanBuck @JoInAthensGa @Eric_Conn I'm not progressive. I prefer mutualist as it is not about grasping for rights. I follow scripture as fully inspired in every word taken in context as fully authoritative and complete for every good work. You s...

@KillmanBuck @JoInAthensGa @Eric_Conn Do you have a scripture that says that men ruling is a blessing? Again, you are taking Is 3:12 out of its context. God’s judgment was to take all the faithful out of Israel leaving the incompetent and unfaithful...

@KillmanBuck @JoInAthensGa @Eric_Conn You took a text out of its context and the improperly applied it to another text. What appears to be driving your interpretation is a disdain for egalitarianism. The equal treatment of women was practiced by th...

@KillmanBuck @JoInAthensGa @Eric_Conn If you are “going off scripture” then where does scripture say anything negative about Deborah’s leadership? You are interpreting and spinning it that way but that is not what scripture says. Isa 3 is not at all...

@amerikanergent @RoiRogers2 @ZA_Legacy @smashbaals Mutuality is perhaps a better term as this isn’t about asserting one’s rights. Headship in Paul’s thinking is not what we are used to in our context but has to do with the origin of things like marri...

@revjeffvox @JollyStine @ScottCross_8 @Sean_M_Dennis @DrSampler @andreacavie @RevChrisDavis This is a clear misapplication of the context of Paul’s letter. He is not teaching that all women are not to teach men, but that a specific woman—who is teach...

@InnovationHQ2 @SpecterAndBride @tigereyes1972 So, in the translation you provided, the translators inserted the word “other” but that’s not in the Greek. It simply says “no such practice.” The Greek is literally “practice not have.” And no, the chu...

@Luv_Is_Truth @DoulosDean68 This is a problem with how people interpret Paul as Paul’s behaviour doesn’t reflect male priority. "Consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom give...

@PastorRobMonroe @KaeleyT @megbasham The Greek of 1Co 11:14 is not being translated correctly. Look at how the ISV translates it: "Nature itself teaches you neither that it is disgraceful for a man to have long hair nor that hair is a woman’s glory,...

@PastorRobMonroe @KaeleyT @megbasham Your posts should be chained as I don’t know what this one is the continuation of. 1Ti 3:1-13 and Tit 1:5-9 in no way restrict elders to be male. You likely get there by reading the English not realizing that the...

@GetoD6812 @pastherandie No one is saying that wives shouldn't submit to their husbands, just that husbands should also submit to their wives because it is mutual. No one is ignoring the Bible. It's called reading in context. A text without the con...
