@martyrian_slave @ronhenzel No, v22 is not pointless because it deals with issues in the marriage where women were being treated as slaves and as property and baby machines and housemaids. Paul wants the wives to see their submission to mimick that o...

@theBaxterian @carol66944 @ronhenzel Because I believe Paul is correcting a problem with the way the wives are already subject to their husbands. There is likely a resentment rather than a serving like she serves Christ. It is meant to elevate her an...

@PuritanD71 @ronhenzel Jesus definitely subjects Himself to do what is in our best interest! How is it that you don’t know this? “… just as Christ loved the church and *gave himself up for her* to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with wat...

@martyrian_slave @ronhenzel I realize that’s the common story. But v22 cannot be saying something that contradicts mutual submission. It’s leveling up how wives are submitting—rather than out of duty like a slave, willingly like to Christ. V23-24 are...

@jontheharris @carol66944 @ronhenzel That’s rediculous. Think about it. Do you b

@ReformedCaio @ronhenzel So the situation that wives found themselves in at that time has nothing to do with why Paul especially addressed wives? Given Paul’s inclusive statements for all to serve each other, that we are to mimic Christ and Jesus’ o...

@ronhenzel “relationships in the church” So how are Christians to treat one ano

@ReformedCaio @ronhenzel Excellent observation. Given wives were already being treated as property and slaves of their husbands, what do you think Paul’s intent was here? I think it was to elevate how they saw their service. Rather than a position o...

“A Christian wife is submissive to her husband” [17:29]. “My goal is not to take us back 70 years to the 50s but 2000 years to the Bible.” 👏 (then reads starting at Eph 5:22…) Uh, if Josh *TRULY* wants to be Biblical, then why didn’t he read Eph 5:...

@MythosMayhem You are right that perfect love casts out fear. And those who have Christ living in them won’t serve out of fear of judgment. That said, this reverence (or “fear”) isn’t about being afraid of judgment, but about honoring Christ’s exampl...

@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...

@WagnerJere47288 @humanvideogamer @RenOfMen You don’t know what you are talking about re: 1Co 11:3. It’s not about hierarchy or authority but source or origin relationships. Adam is the source of Eve as she was created from his flesh and bone but all...

@humanvideogamer @WagnerJere47288 @RenOfMen Glad to hear you follow Christ. The rest of us are all in the same boat following Jesus’ example. I honestly don’t understand what the fear is here. Thankfully this isn’t an issue in countries where there ...

@RenOfMen The scriptures teach mutual submission for all in the body of Christ (Eph 5:21, Php 2:3-4). While egalitarian can sound like each is supposed to assert their rights, I think 'mutualist' is a better term and conveys the idea that each is sub...

@ravensfoodblog @MikeWingerii Does "and subject yourselves to one another in the fear of Christ" (Eph 5:21) not apply between you and the congregant if what the congregant stated was God's will? On what basis is a pastor or elder demanding you step ...

@ravensfoodblog @MikeWingerii I’ve done that for non-elders too because I follow Eph 5:21. We are to subject ourselves to one another in the fear of Christ. I don’t ignore a brother or sister who says the same thing to me because they are not an elde...

@_jonbowlin I think that Paul is listing people that these Christians may have a hard time praying for. The kings were often the ones that persecuted Christians. Christians may not well warm and fuzzy feelings about them, but they are not to be exclu...

@JollyStine @JayMallow3 If Christians didn’t participate with Roman customs they could be seen as problematic, but the point appears to be that Christians who practice freedom (what Paul is advocating for) would not have issues here. But all Christia...

@JollyStine How is Paul contrasting quiet, peaceful lives with asceticism? I was envisioning protesting or perhaps running from persecution due to rulers coming against Christians. In other words, pray for kings and those in authority so you can go a...

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 ...

@slow_down_Jess I have a local pastor who says I am semi-pelagian but he still sees me as a brother in Christ. He just won’t allow me to ever be in leadership…like not even in 20 years kind of thing. He’s a pretty strong Calvinist, so I don’t think t...

@Wbtesq @MikeWingerii No, I’m not joking. And no, not all Christian men think that women should not be allowed to teach or pastor if they have the gifting and character qualifications. And definitely not all Christians think it is a sin for a female ...

@ryancduff You may be thinking about this from the perspective of forbidding what God doesn’t forbid and therefore dividing the body of Christ. Paul refers to this as “doctrines of demons.” “Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some wil...

@mikeproverbs10 @patriot49029471 @smashbaals Women shaved their heads in rebellion? Paul is asking women to cover their heads because of their former rebellion? Wow. I thought I heard it all. There was no such practice of covering in the churches b...

@AmateurOrthoInq @ChadRutter_ @smashbaals The Orthodox appear to be carrying forward the OT priesthood into the New Testament. Was Peter, Paul, James or any of the apostles ever called a priest like that? Any description of them wearing the priestly ...

@Whatsinaname41 @AVER735 Exactly! But he’s going to then use "Eph 5:24: 'Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.'" Yet he takes this in isolation forgetting the context of mutual submission a...

@slow_down_Jess @cjohnsonn0311 @_AndrewHale Well, again, Eph 5:21 says that the submission or subjection is reciprocal for all in the fear of Christ. If it is reciprocal, then no matter how you cache out the remainder of the chapter, it cannot then ...
