@itskellydiane My wife is a physio and a great one at that. We raised 3 children without childcare by working together. All are adults and following Christ.

@LearningReason @itskellydiane @SummrWrites Interesting, I've never heard someone say that women have to cover their head in the privacy of their own bedroom while praying. That phrase "symbol of" is not in the Greek. It is added by translators who...

@yorel480 @lasteveharvest @itskellydiane What? Where are you getting this from? There's nothing in the Talmud that specifies shaving a prostitutes head as a form of punishment. The Bible calls for the death penalty for adultery. Maybe there were Gre...

@LearningReason @itskellydiane @SummrWrites Ok, there is certainly something going on⎯though it seems to be with the Judiazers. In Jewish contexts, if a wife were to become a Christian and then were found to be uncovered in public, this may lead to ...

@naegore @lasteveharvest @itskellydiane I think you are missing what Paul is saying here. Paul says in verse 6 that "If a woman does not cover her head, let her also cut her hair"⎯κειράσθω is a permissive imperative in the middle voice (ie. Paul is ...

Here's a commentary on this verse from Leon Morris in the TNTC "1 Corinthians: an introduction and commentary" (Vol. 7, p. 149). Morris states that kephale in LSJ is "never for the leader of a group." He believes it means 'source' (as 'head' of a r...

@EnderWender1 4️⃣ Leon Morris quotes from the LSJ: 3. It is easy to be too definite in interpreting head in this verse. We use the term often for a person in authority (cf. ‘Heads of State’), but this usage was unknown in antiquity (except for a few...

@Impactingright @CharmyRosewolf Yes, Muppet has good points, but my ending point was that rather than calling people hypocrites for rejecting parts of Paul’s writing (because of poor interpretations), we should love them by showing them how Paul is b...

@FreeThinkerAng @TheMuppetPastor Paul refers to the creation order between Adam and Eve and relates this to the fact that Eve was deceived but Adam was not. Paul is not using this to support relational hierarchy but to hone in on that first deceptio...

@TheMuppetPastor https://t.co/lAzqndA3ba

It is a real problem when people reject Paul, but I contend that it is because they haven’t taken the time to chew on what he says and doesn’t say. If we did, we would see how what Paul says is consistent with Jesus and the rest of scripture. “Ofte...

@TheMuppetPastor @MaSoleil @DoctrineofTulip @autocorrect2_0 Thanks for explaining! Ok, the Greek translated as “husband of one wife” is literally “one wife husband.” It is also stated in 1 Tim 5:9 as “one husband wife” since it is referring to a wi...
