@MarqueStuddock @smashbaals If the levite males led simply because they slaughtered the idolators, then what about Jael who drove a tent peg through Sisera’s head? I’ll read your article and respond separately but you still haven’t shown me where in...

@MarqueStuddock @smashbaals Preaching isn’t what was done in the church but what was done out in the crowds. The church is meant to use its gifts for the mutual edification of each other. Church today doesn’t look like the church in the NT, but not ...

@Gates_of_Derry @colinsmo This statement is only in a single verse in a personal letter to Timothy with the purpose of stopping false teaching not the purpose of stopping anyone from teaching truth to anyone. Notice Paul shifts from the plural in v9...

@BronWen727104 @MarqueStuddock @smashbaals Exactly. In fact, I am my wife’s help

@MarqueStuddock @smashbaals First, that men are physically stronger man mean they are more suited to plowing fields, but what does that have to do with teaching? Women cannot teach others? Second, the fall happened because Eve was deceived and Adam ...

@Gates_of_Derry @colinsmo Someone who advocates for plural marriages is clearly doing something that is not promoted in the New Testament. 1Ti 3:2 can’t mean that an overseer must be married (Paul was single) or male but it certainly means monogamous...

@biblemarriages @yallbenonsense @MikeWingerii This was not related to vows but it shows that a wife still had agency when her husband was foolish and her agency resulted in stopping the consequences of her foolish actions. Once her husband died she w...

@truth_john_14_6 @smashbaals You are taking 1Ti 2:11-12 out of context. Paul’s purpose in writing his personal letter to Timothy was for Timothy to deal with the false teaching not the stopping of anyone teaching the truth to anyone. That conclusion ...

@biblemarriages @yallbenonsense @MikeWingerii This is a good question. I'm not sure I have all the answers on this one, but here is my thinking. One reason may be because many wives were much younger (sometimes teenagers) when married to older men. ...

@AlanDMyattPhD That’s right! Even though they claim to have the power to trump their wives, they recognize in practice that this doesn’t work because she was created as his equal counterpart, not his slave. But they can’t shake the teaching because t...

@JonByers186054 @dalepartridge There you go again—reinterpreting what I’m saying to try to have me claim that I think I become God in heaven. Being equal doesn’t mean equal in all ways, but it means that Jesus doesn’t put His church under His feet ...

@JonByers186054 @dalepartridge There is mutual submission between Christ and His bride. We receive the resurrected body, the same one Jesus will have. We receive His inheritance and will be made sinless. What precisely is there to rule over? Does thi...

@JonByers186054 @dalepartridge Let me reflect back: Actually, you come to your reading of scripture with masculist presuppositions that equality is something bad and icky. You re-interpret everything through that lens. Jesus treating us as brothers ...

@JonByers186054 @dalepartridge Submitting is something both do to one another. T

While it is understandable that complementarians struggle to sit under a leadership which includes women, this should remain something that each church decides since either interpretation is based on scripture. Adding a requirement for all co-opera...

@DavePellowe @MikeWingerii Male only eldership was not in the creeds and confessions. Read the Nicene creed again. That modern churches are doing it doesn’t make it a core doctrine. It is not a core doctrine and that’s why it should not be called he...

@MikeWingerii Thinking about the WIM series again? A reminder I pushed back on your call for egalitarians to repent. Repenting of what I believe the scripture really teaches would go against my conscience. Telling people they should loudly leave th...

@DefiantLs 5. He turned His gaze to the establishment and said “F* you Pontius Pilate.” FALSE. Jesus told Pilate that His kingdom was not of this world. Jesus encouraged Pilate that if he was on the side of truth he would listen to Him. Jesus said ...

@racheljwelcher This is a great question. I think it’s likely because those who refuse fellowship see 1Ti 2:12 as an explicit command against women teaching in positions of authority, and disobeying an explicit command is seen as worse than misinterp...

@TrueChristian00 @DrFrankTurek Your quoted 1 Pe 3:18 “He was put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit.” You said “He wasn’t simply resuscitated in the same fleshly body.” However, the Greek construction supports reading ‘made alive by ...

@TrueChristian00 @DrFrankTurek Thanks again for your detailed response. I’ll address each point in a separate post. 1Co 15:45 is frequently misunderstood. First—This verse compares origins, not transformations at resurrection. Paul explicitly quote...

@CrackaNyc @IndianaBrunner @DrFrankTurek No, that’s not quite it. This council did not define for the first time what Christians believed up to 325 AD. They are presenting on paper what was already believed by all Christians. There were those who did...

@DrFrankTurek Always be ready to give a reason for the hope that you have and be able to defend the truth of the claims of Christianity and the gospel. Questions help to bring out the things where they believe differently. Asking where they find thei...

@DrFrankTurek Invite them in and talk to them about the Bible. I make sure to ask the questions and keep them centered on the nature and work of Jesus and the details of the gospel so they don’t get to lead me around with irrelevant stuff. I have had...

@JamesPelton18 @Calebclind231 @autocorrect2_0 I think you are mistaken. Think about it. 1Ti 3 also seems to suggest that an overseer must be a married man with more than one child all of who are believing (so they have to mature sufficiently to be ab...

@JamesPelton18 @Calebclind231 @autocorrect2_0 We have to read 1Tim 2:11-15 in context. Paul wrote this personal letter to Timothy to exhort him to remain in Ephesus to stop false teaching, not to stop anyone from teaching the truth or arbitrarily all...

@JamesPelton18 @autocorrect2_0 This is why I asked the question in the way that I did. I asked why only husbands were said to love. Given that you now conclude that both husbands and wives are to love each other (duh!) why would you say that they don...

@MissionaryJC3 @NateSchlomann Interesting. I wonder what else Paul could get away with which he doesn’t have to abide by but everyone else does. Also curious that he encourages everyone else to be single like he is (1Co 7:8). If everyone listened, n...
