@KimberleeJayneW @will_servant Who is saying that a man has to be the woman of the house? You are presuming your view in how you frame your response. We aren’t saying men are women, but there is significant overlap in our responsibilities. Both my w...

@Read_Fast_ Blaspheming the Holy Spirit is something so egregious that there is no forgiveness. Rather, I would say it is more quenching the Spirit. I feel it when a pastor tells me I can never be on the leadership team because I’m egalitarian or n...

@will_servant @KimberleeJayneW I agree with you, but to be fair, the English translations of 1 Cor 14:34-35, 1 Tim 2:11-15; 3:1-13, Tit 1:5-9, etc can sound like they are restricting women. It can take work to undo the stuff we’ve been told is Biblic...

@VoicesHead100 @ScottCross_8 @3HillsMinor @Rattle_Resists @Kdubtru @michael_ronning Yes only one man or woman can speak at a time because while we all have two ears, we only have the ability to listen to one at a time. If your argument is ‘a woman’ ...

@cbankston7 @BeckyBeefJerky I wonder if it’s because it would encourage someone to disobey the bible by letting them stay and listen. What if the man entering believes it’s ok for him to learn from a woman teaching true things? I guess if she didn’t ...

@pauldirks Interesting! So a man can only be blessed by a woman teacher if he believes 1 Tim 2:12 doesn’t refer to women teaching true doctrine and doesn’t think that teaching him means taking authority over him. Is that an accurate statement? But so...

@freedom4alltime Ok, it’s not like it cannot work either way. But the ones who still to gendered roles should not consider the ones who don’t to be in sin or weak or rebellious. That’s all. And I’d prefer to go back to the Apostles’ teaching and not ...
