@godlywomanhood When it comes to 1 Cor 14:34-36, I think people easily miss the context. Paul already pointed out that he was responding to things the Corinthians wrote in their letter to him (1 Cor 7:1), and since there were no quote marks in the e...

@DST_QA Frequently masculine is used for a mixed audience, so you have to determine these things by context. In this case, it would be certain men who are restricting half of the body from speaking in the assembly, so Paul would be addressing those ...

@DST_QA But that's my point, the context and the details of vv34-35 clearly show

@DST_QA MacArther doesn't think this passage excludes women from literally speaking because that seems way over the top and he certainly reads other scriptures which clearly have women praying and prophesying...so he has to find some other way to int...

@Wll24986 @HastiGomes Yeah, I’m not twisting anything. I’m taking Paul very ser

@laurel_prolife @Totally_Brandon @ThomasCoutouzis @ChrisHohnholz @ScottAniol @Ja

@cwierzbicki9 Thanks for quoting the passage. The context is the entire letter,

@MargMowczko Since Paul was responding to the letter from the Corinthians (see 1 Cor 7:1) and since we don't have quotation marks and have to infer them by the context, wouldn't it make sense that Paul was quoting from their letter which was from Jud...

@Buzzsaws1990 @Rach4Patriarchy That point in BDAG is refuting that the Hebrew passages listed do NOT establish the meaning cousin. The Hebrew is used loosely in isolated cases, but this is the Greek and the context doesn't make sense of cousin. The...

@AstartesAp @Protestia That is taking Paul’s words out of context. It seems tha

@pkh7276_pkh @MarkGrote @OperHealAmerica Those verses in 1 Cor 14:34-35 are not referring to source or origin. However, whenever you see the Greek “kephale” it can mean source or origin depending on the context. Is it proper for anyone to have auth...

@hotdogclit @Zombiemombie69 @HelpMePlsss9 @MalesInDisguise No, I’m taking the Bi

@pauldirks @KaeleyT I appreciate your distancing yourself from some patriarchalists. I don’t believe biblically that anyone is to have “authentein” over anyone, so the statement in 1 Tim 2:11-12 has a specific understanding in the context of somethi...

@MikeWingerii This is a great post Mike! This context serves as a critical back

@pauldirks @KaeleyT Yes of course. But I was speaking in context of Ephesians 5

@pauldirks @KaeleyT Wives submitting to their husbands is in the context of the

@ronhenzel In Ephesians 2:8, Paul's focus on being 'in Christ' emphasizes what believers obtain through faith, not a predestination of who will have faith. The matching gender between 'mercy' and 'gift' aligns with this context, showing that salvatio...

Quoting Mark Driscoll: ‘Imagine the pastor today that… slit their throats as a public event. That’s Elijah.’ Such a statement overlooks the unique context and covenant fidelity of Israel. It’s a dangerous precedent to apply ancient events out of cont...

@BogdanOancea77 1. No There’s no evidence that I’m aware of that women were allowed to read Torah in first century synagogues. Teaching and preaching would be from the Torah and the reasons for not hearing a woman’s voice in this context is it coul...

@JohnMoo26668690 I appreciate that you seem dedicated to Biblical faithfulness and how upsetting it is to see how culture has completely gone mad. However, in understanding these issues, it's also vital to consider the historical context. The patri...

@outcatching @GlennDavies @danitreweek I don’t reject the plain meaning of scripture but interpret it in context. Thanks for your concern but we disagree on a secondary issue related to women and that’s ok. Your reference to 1 Tim 2:11-12 should be...

@outcatching @GlennDavies @danitreweek Yes, we are all servants, but not all hold the office of deacon. Same word, whether it’s the office or just service depends on the context. Scripture nowhere contradicts itself. I completely agree. Paul writ...

@outcatching @GlennDavies @danitreweek Jesus washed Judas' feet at the last supper...Paul called himself "a bondservant of Christ." We are all servants. The context has to be used to determine whether the person is a leader or not. It is leaders t...

@outcatching @GlennDavies @danitreweek This way of framing our difference is disingenuous. You don’t see that how you interpret this issue is through your patriarchal rubric? You split a hair on one detail in the phrase “one wife husband” and don’t...

@godlywomanhood @Karpouzisporo But in context and the specific grammar, Paul is

@outcatching @GlennDavies @danitreweek I’m not dismissing anything. I’m exegeting this idiom in context. I think we need to first address your comment “That’s the behaviour of an egalitarian, not a Believer.” Are you suggesting I’m not a Christian...

@ekkiet @ChrisHohnholz That’s correct. The idea being that she is deceived and so Paul is preserving her dignity until Timothy has a chance to deal with her. It’s a personal letter from Paul to Timothy so Timothy would know. This interpretation ma...

@Wbtesq @William_E_Wolfe Just because some misuse, take texts out of context and

@OccamsBraiser @iheartJ37 @MikeWingerii You may have helped me find a better explanation in the lexicons so not only am I not embarrassed, I’m elated! I am able to read the Bible in context so I can understand it but sometimes these lexical resource...

@OccamsBraiser @iheartJ37 @MikeWingerii That some quotes aren’t introduced means that it is possible. Therefore, we need to read in context to determine whether or not this is a quote. Paul says to eagerly desire to prophesy, not that everyone will...

@MegaChurchMouse You are taking these passages out of context. The key to 1 Cor

@HammadAcc2 @AmyMek @jihadwatchRS Some of these are quite difficult passages. Here's an explanation for 1 Tim 2:11-15 that makes sense of this passage, the grammar, the nature of the letter and its context (stopping false teaching), the back referen...

@Shshshahawn @pearlythingz You need to read this passage in context and make sen

@Snuggernaut1 @chadlyrose @sovereignbrah You need to read this passage in context and make sense of the grammar. Paul's difficult grammar is because of what he tells Timothy in the first chapter. And the reference to Adam and Eve is not about hiera...

@coramdeo1 @mbird12 @ivpacademic I doubt this passage has anything to do with Artemis. Well, at least Paul doesn't explain what the false teaching is. But he also doesn't tell Timothy to stop women from teaching true doctrine. The grammar is also ...

@TheBerean777 @EllaFlash @Maranatha7774 1 Tim 2:11-15 has been taken out of context. I don't blame people, but if you carefully consider the grammar, the purpose of this personal letter to Timothy and the reference to Genesis 1-2, it will make much ...

@SamanthaAsia2 This passage has been taken out of context. Paul's personal letter to Timothy was to stop false teaching, not to stop women from teaching the truth. And the grammar is very specific for reasons provided in Chapter 1. And verse 15 sa...

@TheBerean777 What if you are taking these passages out of context? Most seem t

@ChavuraStephen Hmm. I think invoking Artemis is stretch. This discussion does

@Maxwellian2001 @GnosisRevelator @WWUTTcom Not quite. That passage is being mis

@BogdanOancea77 I am not performing mental gymnastics nor am I ignoring anything! I'm taking the text as fully inspired in its original context. That is in no way rebelling against the Bible and God! This is the sort of attitude that needs to stop...

23/23🧵In summary, what makes the most sense of these verses in context in light

19/23🧵Would Paul have used the oral law to back up his doctrine? Would he have described a woman’s voice as indecent, lewd, filthy, vile or foul? Given the context of the verses surrounding v34-35, I argue absolutely NOT! Paul replies back in the ...

15/23🧵Continuing on in 1 Corinthians, we see that Paul responds to other matters

11/23🧵In the context of this first letter from Paul to the church at Corinth, in

4/23🧵In the local context, it seems clear that silent means to not speak or voca

2/23🧵Taken out of its context and strictly literally, we would have: 1. No women

@BogdanOancea77 @BarakWatson @justasbefuddled @MikeWingerii When we are debating these issues, you cannot just quote the Bible, you have to explain it. What does head mean in this context? Is Paul referring to authority and hierarchy to explain the...

@LauraRicha42528 @_nomadic_soul @LifeWithoutLack @DrFrankTurek Here's an actual early Greek manuscript (P46) from Romans 12, something written by Paul. https://t.co/saOXJexSY6 Pretty clear there's no punctuation or spacing. You have to be great and...
