@chronos_magnus @Canad_eh @whitxsix These popes and bishops have erred in so many ways. The only plumb line that is stable is the Bible itself. We have to look at the text and question the teachings o

@StothersRyan All of church history?? Where do you get that from? Are you saying no churches had female pastors or elders until modern times? Or that the ones who did always did so for the wrong reasons? The following slide is from a presentation do...

@StothersRyan That’s right. We’ve got access to so much more than they ever had.

@RonaldTill13475 @KaeleyT Here’s a few reasons why: 1. Given Paul’s stated purpose was to “instruct certain people not to teach strange doctrines” (1Ti 1:3), why did it shift to “instruct all women to not teach true doctrine to any male over 17”? 2...

@Moppybottoms @KaeleyT The short answer is any role where a woman is in a position of authority over a man. Many believe Gen 2-3 establishes male authority and female submission, 1Co 14:34-35 commands women to respect that authority by remaining sil...

@Grump_Old_Man @MikeWingerii I’m actually not sure. 😅 The church I’m at was RCA (Reformed Church of America), but that denomination has been sliding over the years towards affirming, so our local church left the denomination a year ago. We joined an ...

@Rick07200430 @wichman_matthew @CherylSchatz @autocorrect2_0 If the faith of Hymenaeus and Alexander was “shipwrecked” does this mean they are still considered saved? If so, why doesn’t Paul just bench them in the church? Why does he kick them out if...

@TheRednartso @HolyHomebody No, it’s not meant to convey both senses at the same time. Does Jesus as God have all authority? Absolutely! But scripture doesn’t ever describe the man Jesus as ever taking authority over His bride. He does remove “lamp...

@soothkeep It seems to me that Paul’s understanding of discerning the body is how we treat other believers. You are right that this is very frequently misunderstood. Even in my current church, the pastor refers to the bread as though we are feeding o...

@iheartJ37 Thanks for sharing! I did something similar last night. I came across

@mennodarren I find that’s most of the things I changed on—things I just nodded

@karsten_boom @MikeWingerii Why? This post to Mike is because I want complementarians and egalitarians to get along better. I’ve been a part of complementarian churches and supported them, but he encourages people to leave their egalitarian churches ...

@noblama @slstruik @MikeWingerii So you don’t tolerate secondary differences? I

@aarondgarrett Part of the problem is that the churches that support women tend to be liberal (not all of them, but many). Unless women are trained and included with men, you will get a higher proportion being off. One I find is really solid is Kay ...

@KeggerAgain Imagine you inserted someone from another ethnicity into your statement, and instead of a woman, you felt uncomfortable with a black man leading the church. That’s the kind of thing I’m trying to point out. Male or female or your ethnici...

@prejoal @smashbaals In 1Co 14, Paul is admonishing everyone to seek the gifts and use them in a way that all in the church are edified. You seem to miss that Paul was quoting from the letter the Corinthians wrote and responding to or refuting things...

@TheCoolhand1 @smashbaals Paul explained in his personal letter to Timothy that he left him in Ephesus to stop false teachers, not so that he would instruct half the church not to teach truth to the other half. You are misreading the text by not cons...

@jacob_lupton @smashbaals Paul was also an overseer as well as an apostle. He also encouraged everyone that if possible they could be single like him—which would mean no one would be qualified if being married was required. The funny part is that th...

@rightresponsem No. Having empathy is not a reason to leave a church!

@rightresponsem That’s patently incorrect, but I’ll explain your observations.

@KMD_0nline There is still a lot of cases where they are treated as second class citizens…remarkably in many churches. Just watch when a female pastor joins other male pastors in a Baptist fellowship. Watch how the men respond. But yes, women are co...

@Heiserite @lutherananswers You are interpreting it this way, but what evidence

In p5, Ashley explains 2Th 2: the falling away (rebellion), the restrainer (Holy Spirit in the church), and the Antichrist. Paul reassures believers Christ’s return follows the Antichrist declaring himself God in the temple. In the pre-trib rapture, ...
