@AlistenDoris It’s great you are obeying what you read in the Bible. This passage is not Paul telling godly, qualified and gifted women that they should not teach true doctrine to groups which include men. The grammar, context and references do not...

@AJRigney @LandOnYourHome @ZacharyGarris Regarding context, you have a wholehear

@AJRigney @ZacharyGarris There’s nothing in this verse that suggests the issue is interruptions. The context is dealing with false teachers, and so the most natural explanation is that there is a deceived woman teaching false doctrine whose non-dece...

@JakeRainwater 1 Tim 2:12 is one of the most misused passages in the New Testament these days. Without addressing the specific context of Paul’s letter, the grammar and his references in their context, how can one claim to understand what Paul is me...

@ZacharyGarris Now, I haven’t reviewed what this lady is teaching, but godly women should not be prevented from teaching correct doctrine whether it’s to women or men. 1 Tim 2:11-15 is typically used to restrict women. However, in context and with ...

Here’s a short summary of how I think an egalitarian interpretation makes the mo

Should it be 2 or is it 3? What if it’s more than 3? Does one have to be an el

@Jonathan_Black_ Why two or three and not two or more? Answer: Matt 18:20 is re

@Protestia Wow, this is not exegetical, nor does it take into consideration the stated purpose of this letter from Paul, his grammar and the context and references he uses. She appears to be a deceived woman whom is similar to the one Paul spoke abo...

@devonsworth @Based_Byzantine @YungDipper6969 So there’s another way for women t

@ShaneSpenc77 @DaneTilley90581 @smashbaals I’m simply dealing with the text in c

@imaso001 @smashbaals Head can mean the one who is in charge, but it has other meanings to do with prominence or first or protruding, or source or origin. From the context, Paul is not meaning authority of one gender over another as this is very cle...

Exposition of 1 Cor 11:3. Paul explains that the "head" of every man is Christ, the man is the "head" of a woman and God is the "head" of Christ. "Head" in this context means source or origin, as this is confirmed in vs 12: "For as the woman origina...

@Bro58Tg @smashbaals I have no interest in being accepted by the world. However, it is a patriarchal system that has infected the church. Take off your patriarchy lenses and re-read these texts, studying the details of the context and the original ...

@MariusM38610501 @MikeWingerii Only read the summary but the argument that 1 Tim 2:15 has to do with Artemis of the Ephesians seems foreign to this text and doesn’t deal with what Paul says in the context. His reference to Adam and Eve ought to be w...

@EtAbundatGratia @JayMuratore @MikeWingerii It is eisegesis or confirmation bias to read into Gen 3:16 that she desires to rule her husband. Gen 4:7 is a different context. Sin is not a person, but metaphorically, if sin wants Cain perhaps like a w...

@GWreformed1689 @JakobFel @BenZeisloft @smashbaals The ordering of the words “do

@JakobFel @BenZeisloft @smashbaals No, that’s not it either. But you are right it’s in the context. Here’s the ISV: 1 Corinthians 11:14–15 (ISV): “Nature itself teaches you **NEITHER** that it is disgraceful for a man to have long hair **NOR** tha...

@IanReformed @igarglewithfire Out of context even for a complementarian! What d

@biblethumperr @autocorrect2_0 You are taking that passage out of context. It’s

@LadyDemosthenes No, this isn’t true. These verses are all being taken out of context. Please take another look. 1 Cor 14:34-35 is Paul quoting from the letter from the Corinthians and rebuking the men that are silencing half the body of Christ. ...

@dayvekeem @abbythelibb_ You think that verse silences women from speaking anyth

@IdorenyinEtuk5 @Drprincessjanet @Solomon_Buchi Yes, one should not pay attention to myths. In 1 Tim 1:3-4, Paul instructs Timothy to tell the Ephesian believers not to occupy themselves with myths and endless genealogies which promote controversies...

@IdorenyinEtuk5 @Drprincessjanet @Solomon_Buchi Yes, I can back up my interpretation with scripture. My aim is to take all the details as important in the interpretation⎯the context (both within the letter as well as the audience and culture), the g...

@JollyStine Yes, that’s right! The context informs us what is going on that spurred this letter from Paul to Timothy. Further, Paul speaks of two kinds of false teachers: those who blaspheme against what they know and those who are ignorant. Only ...

@THEGREATZEEE @ZubyMusic It would be helpful if you could read it in context tho

@IiiPaulus @TheMcGloneCode @smashbaals It’s the only thing that makes sense in the context. It agrees with what is said in 1 Cor 11:11-12. Head can also mean prominent or first, like the one who steps out first. Being first however doesn’t make yo...

@giantshitcomin1 @godlywomanhood Or maybe you are reading this out of context? Most people can sense that just by reading the whole chapter where Paul speaks inclusively of all. Here Paul quotes from the letter the Corinthians wrote and refuted tho...

@1611bible That passage is one of the most misused passages taken out of context

@JeffreyPHo67012 @SheShePawPaw @Stephen_Angliss The clear scripture you refer to

@MioHondaFan Do you think taking scripture out of context has any effect on anyo

@Holistic_Voyeur @Bellisima_2004 @RoxyWright0 You are taking this verse out of context. Paul is responding to things the Corinthians wrote to him in their letter. Paul is actually refuting those silencing women. See v36: “What? came the word of God...

@Based_Byzantine @HabitualLinest @Booksbyjess__ @smashbaals It was a personal letter of instruction and encouragement to Timothy which we can benefit from. But in order to benefit from it, we have to ascertain what Paul meant by what he said to Timo...

@NSanctification @ronhenzel In Acts 13:48 we still have operation of individuals but acting together as a group. The key is the use of the middle voice. First, we have to recall in context that there was a group who judged themselves unworthy of li...

@Based_Byzantine @HabitualLinest @Booksbyjess__ @smashbaals I’m taking what Paul said very seriously, in the context of the letter, understanding it was a personal correspondence between Paul and Timothy for the purpose of encouraging him in his role...

@blackmamba_btc @AEQEA @BrotherBoaz @nakedpastor Paul here is quoting from the letter from the Corinthians—go back to 1 Cor 7:1 to see where he starts this. There’s no quotes in the original manuscripts so you have to infer quotes from the context. ...

@DanielvsBabylon @AEQEA @blackmamba_btc @BrotherBoaz @nakedpastor That snip says that the word is also used for deacon/deaconess which is an office. It is also used of Jesus and Paul calls himself a servant. All Christians are servants also. So th...

@heaveniscallin1 @FrMatthewLC 1 Tim 5:9 uses the wording ἑνὸς ἀνδρὸς γυνή (or one husband wife) though not in the context of leadership. When Paul uses "one wife husband" in 1 Tim 3:2,12 and Titus 1:6, I see this as generic of monogomy but I think t...

@DickSaban1 @aflawedmanofGod @ortrails @goteamcarr You are not reading Isaiah 3:12 in context (see below). What Paul says is consistent with his other letters. Yes, only male Levites were the only ones allowed to be priests as that is what was in t...

@PerinDana @pauldirks I’m glad you asked again about this verse, Paul. Many are hung up on this phrase as we consider this a term of subjugation. In their cultural context, this was simply an idiomatic expression denoting respect. And so Sarah’s ac...

@pauldirks @PerinDana If all you want is an acknowledgement that there are differences between the genders, hasn’t that been stated already? If that’s all you wanted to achieve here, then I guess we’re done. I spent the time to exegete 1 Pet 3 in...

Peter seems to be reinforcing Patriarchal aspects seen in the Old Testament into his New Testament guidance. However, this is not what’s going on in 1 Peter 3. In the following, I respond to this issue showing from the context of Peter’s letter wha...

@ccmcleod Now, explain what Paul meant by this in context of his personal letter

@SolaScriptura98 @ortrails @goteamcarr Yes, people forget that even contemporaries of Paul found some things he wrote hard to understand. Give it another 2000 years, a different cultural context, a culture that struggles to read contextually and thi...

@JakobFel @BenZeisloft @smashbaals No, that’s not it either. But you are right it’s in the context. Here’s the ISV: 1 Corinthians 11:14–15 (ISV): “Nature itself teaches you NEITHER that it is disgraceful for a man to have long hair NOR tha...
