@smashbaals This shows that you are judging by mere appearances rather than the content. What does it matter if someone wants to pronounce Jesus using Hebrew יֵשׁוּעַ ?

@christsoldier5S @BrentCGuitar @RealDavidReece Paul doesn’t condemn a woman teaching truth to anyone. That is absurd. And Deborah was the highest authority in the land as both a prophet and judge so i

@pauldirks @KaeleyT I’m still shocked that you said you would stake your life and ministry on the idea that the family is the primary way the kingdom is to grow. I mean even Pentecost shows this is not the primary way. How else do you add thousands t...

@pauldirks @KaeleyT No, as the apostle Paul says in v28, “But if you marry, you have not sinned”—which is something that one might conclude given his advocacy for being single and unencumbered. For Paul this is all about dedication to the Lord and H...

@pauldirks @KaeleyT Except I am not sure Paul is saying this because he is a Eun

@pauldirks @KaeleyT Wow. I have to ask one more time then—if the command is to be fruitful (physically) and have children, then in your view, the apostle Paul’s encouragement that they all remain as he was—single—is a wish to violate a commandment of...

@Wayne34458595 @smashbaals No, I’m explaining why it doesn’t say listen to what she said but instead says “her voice”. Ge 3:6 is clear, “…and she also gave some to her husband *WITH HER,* and he ate.” Sin didn’t result from following her, but becau...

@Wayne34458595 @smashbaals The text says “because you listened to the voice of your wife” which should make you think since she didn’t speak to him, just the serpent. So this tells us that he is responsible *because he heard the whole conversation* b...

@smashbaals This is the most ridiculous thing I hear. What matters is the Word and truth not whether you are male, a certain height or ethnicity or whether you are slave or free. 1Ti 3:1-13 nor Titus 1:5-9 say “must not be a woman” or that a woman ...

@BeanofChrist No, God revealed Himself and convicted me of sin but scripture doesn’t say He gives me faith to believe and passes over the rest who also hear the word and are convicted by the Holy Spirit. God doesn’t save people before they are saved...

@RockyMitchell6 I don’t think that’s how the Bible frames it. He doesn’t predestine some individuals to believe. Rather, He predestines that all who believe will be conformed to the likeness of Jesus. God initiates by revealing Himself and convictin...

@cothran_tom @MrKrabsKachow The debt is paid even for those who go to Hell. Scripture compares Jesus' work with the impact of Adam's one act. We did nothing to inherit sin and death. In the same way, Jesus' work gives life to all. But God has determi...

@stablecross I’m afraid it seems it is you who is missing the context of the scriptures you are referring to. What is the “it” in “it does not depend on human will or effort”? When God chooses Pharoah, was it because of his effort? When Jesus chooses...

@Glory2God777 @ManassehRJones @AletheiaHS @subq @immrbloo The crown symbolizes honor, glory, and authority. It represents the dignity and blessings that God bestowed upon His people as His chosen nation. This verse conveys their sense of loss, humil...

@covapologetics Again, I can read and I appreciate the additional context. Are you suggesting a single male pastor is ok then? Or are they and the congregation supporting them being unfaithful to the Bible? Or are you thinking it’s not a deal break...

@covapologetics Hm. Your response seems pretty boilerplate. What refutation make

@flauridian The context of 1Ti is clearly stopping false teaching not true teaching. And the grammar of 1Ti 2:12 is singular, not plural. The explanation needs to be coherent of the grammar, the reference to Adam and Eve and the “she (sg) will be sav...

@heatheraaj78 @OrthodoxWario @MikeWingerii The Bible is self-correcting. It's no

@RamiThePaladin @MikeWingerii @TheHustleCritic No, that doesn't work at all. You presume that elders are supposed to be doing what Paul says shouldn't be done in 1Ti 2:12. Further, since when was Paul saying that anyone wasn't to teach truth to anyon...

Greek often uses male-specific terms generically to include women. Consider the

In the Greek text, τις (meaning "anyone/someone") is used generically in 1Ti 3:1

@pushforgorilla @subq @harmonizedgrace Adam’s mistake wasn’t simping, it was rebellion. Since you are referring to Adam simping, don’t you mean Ge 3:17, that Adam listened to the voice of his wife? Why did God say that he listened to her voice when ...

@IemSparticus @harmonizedgrace Who said male headship stems from the fall? Head doesn’t automatically mean ruler or the one in authority in scripture. If that’s what was meant, what’s wrong with using the word authority? The only time authority is us...

@uav_guy_79 @harmonizedgrace Can a slave be exercising authority over the one they are serving? Isn't it obvious that if Jesus "empties Himself by taking the form of a bond-servant" and we (both men and women) are to emulate His posture, that we ough...

@pitchford316 @ScottRoberts RE: "for He cannot deny Himself" in 2Ti 2:13⎯this does not mean God overlooks unfaithfulness or that unrepentant sinners automatically share in His promises. That is inconsistent with many scriptures. Rather, this indicate...

@chris_jolliff @ThePastorBurris @CherylSchatz @IsaacGr66057889 @wichman_matthew Yes, calling someone to repent implies they are sinning and one cannot sin and not repent and be saved. We don't repent of secondary issues. You can proclaim the same gos...
