@CylonSaysNo @Synaptic_Rabbit @masonmennenga Also, the Bible is the final authority, which is the testimony of Jesus and the apostles. Not those men who lived centuries later and who often changed the

@CylonSaysNo @Synaptic_Rabbit @masonmennenga Also, the Bible is the final author

@CylonSaysNo @Synaptic_Rabbit @masonmennenga Here is the full context of that part of the cathechism: "Scripture calls the abode of the dead, to which the dead Christ went down, 'hell'—Sheol in Hebrew or Hades in Greek—because those who are there ar...

@daynajblack @BubbleLad777 @masonmennenga The Bible is intended to be meditated

@pauldirks @KaeleyT Personally, one that aligns with scripture more closely. 😊

@masonmennenga Curious. This is one person we have clear testimony that he is condemned, so how is he reconciled? Jesus refers to Judas as "the son of destruction" (or "perdition"), saying, "None of them perished except the son of destruction, so th...

@amandafromtx @Naddildeaux Hm. I personally don’t see a problem with those jeans

@amandafromtx @shelt27467831 Ugh! Nothing like transparency to show that they are acting above board. Even my small sub 200 person church used the same tactic to avoid having to explain the real reasons why they let the associate pastor go. Supposedl...

@butdustandashes @ReformedCaio @CherylSchatz @BrandonGra53760 @spencer_newell @MikeWingerii The thing is that anyone who isn’t willing to forgive is not a believer and there is no reason to assert this about Paul if it is not explicit in the text. Si...

@MikeWingerii @AwaitChrist @CherylSchatz Mike, I love how you teach others how to Think Biblically. However, what is Biblical in how you are treating Cheryl? You need to deal with offences as they come up, not let them pile up until you act out of f...

@JamMom89 @firegirl2510 @Chad4328 God has always had authority⎯what is your point? Where does the Bible say women cannot lead? The reason the serpent chose the woman is because she didn’t have the experience with God that Adam did and so could be d...

@PatrickGut74996 @MikeWingerii Hmm… The first-person singular pronoun “ἐγώ” (egō) means “I” and does not have gender. The first-person plural pronoun “ἡμεῖς” (hēmeis) means “we” and also does not have gender. Greek verbs in the first person singul...

@DrGJackBrown Your line of reasoning is amusing. Guessing what’s going on in som

@ravensfoodblog @MikeWingerii The scripture is contextual. If the imperative is "bring my parchments and my jacket" this is not meant as an authoritative command even for the person to whom it was originally written. Other imperatives were meant for ...

@ravensfoodblog @MikeWingerii I've asked you for examples of what that authority looks like. You suggested that if a member asked you to step down you may not listen but if the pastor asked you to step down, you would. If the same reasons are given b...

@ravensfoodblog @MikeWingerii I understand you see this as speculative, but I never said it was the grounding of the whole letter. Your view has Paul giving a command to all women to not be in positions of authority over men in a personal letter to ...

@ravensfoodblog @MikeWingerii Yes, that's what I meant. And while I may take a dissenting opinion from 'the vast majority' it is not without considering their reasons. Why are you framing my proposal as "certainties"? I am giving you my view and my ...

@ravensfoodblog @MikeWingerii An elder has a special function and gifting in the body, but all in the body have the same authority to make disciples and to teach them to obey everything Jesus commanded to his disciples. Function—such as oversight—is ...

@ravensfoodblog @MikeWingerii Maybe you could comment on the following verse abo

@ravensfoodblog @MikeWingerii Terran also presents evidence that Philo and Josephus, who wrote around the time of Paul, used αὐθεντής to mean “murderer.” This usage is considered within the context of their literary style and their audience’s underst...

@MeridithABlack @MikeWingerii Well, the reason I asked was because it was Mike that said that I need to repent for propagating what I believe the scripture teaches about women in pastoral ministry which disagrees with what he says it teaches—somethin...

@ronhenzel And the witnesses don't need to be elders. And this is not a gang up of those who don't like the person. “I solemnly exhort you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of His chosen angels, to maintain these principles without bias...

@samuel_costner @WokePreacherTV Yeah, you seem to also struggle with reading letters in the Bible in context. Don’t forget this is a personal letter to Timothy instructing him to stop false teaching, not to stop anyone from teaching the truth to anyo...

@MargMowczko @KaeleyT Thanks for the clarity and I know you didn’t say that, yet

@MargMowczko @KaeleyT So you don’t think it’s reasonable that Paul is using Eve

@avyargo @neecygrace @MikeWingerii You really need me to answer them? Ok. There's no woman called "pastor" in the Bible. Neither is there any man called "pastor." What are you trying to prove? There's no Biblical book which claims to be written by ...

@garlicmofongo He seems to see both Adam and Eve as having a gendered rebellion to God in the fall. I don’t think I’ve heard that take before. Paul frames it as one being deceived and the other not with the reason being the time sequence of creation...

Patriarchalist @ZacharyGarris in “Masculine Christianity” refutes @MikeWingerii on his judging prophecy interpretation of 1Co 14:34-35. The reasons Garris gives are some good reasons to reject Winger’s interpretation. I take the quotation refutation ...

@TarienCole @Calvinator8000 @avyargo @MikeWingerii You have to first understand Paul’s comments in the context of specific instructions to Timothy about how he (second person singular) ought to act (1Ti 3:14-15). If Paul meant to generalize, he would...

@JoeAdrian256 @Spenc59045Jason @MikeWingerii I would tend to agree with you, Joe. I find that most of what Mike says is pretty solid. I was surprised at his handling of the women in ministry issue. I’d like to see examples of what Jason is referring ...

@Spenc59045Jason @JoeAdrian256 @MikeWingerii Just want to chime and say that although I am challenging Mike on his characterization of egalitarians and call for them to repent and his general handling of this topic, I don’t agree that “he doesn’t kno...

@ryancduff @MarkGrote I think we are so driven by decontextualized snippets of information that it has infected how we read our Bibles. We read it as a collection of sayings rather than—in this case—letters written to a person into a context with spe...
