@KaeleyT @pauldirks There’s a few passages in the NT and they both take the focus off of outward beauty: “Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel— rather let it be the hidden person of...

@sunday_type Perhaps. I don't know very much about Augustine to be able to make

As many of you rightly noted, Genesis 1:26-27 is unequivocal that both the man and the woman are created in God's image. Let's take a look at this passage again to make this certain. Before we do, in Gen 5:2, we are told that "[God] created them ma...

@__Layman__ @JulieCobbe Adam was created with a need (he was alone). The woman was created to fulfill his need perfectly. Paul is speaking in relation to the creation order itself. Once woman was created, we may say that both men and women are an ...

@No3spera @LivingGodsTruth I’m just reading it carefully. 20th century views would have us believe that the Bible bocal account of creation could not possibly be historical, or creation was over billions of years, or that this is only a myth. I’m t...

@HotHotFire_ @Riley_Gaines_ How is that relevant here? Is X your church? 😳 In reality, Paul is quoting from the letter the Corinthians wrote him and refuting those who are silencing women. Paul’s reply? If these men don’t listen, then they are to...

@sanothomas 1 Cor 14:34-35 is actually the Apostle Paul quoting from a letter he received from the Corinthians; Paul is rebuking those men who are silencing half of the body: “What? Came the word of God out from you [men]? Or came it unto you [men] o...

@pauldirks @KaeleyT Thanks for your reply, Paul. I was deliberate in my wording. Kaeley said "It's wicked", not "they are wicked." This distinction matters. People genuinely and sincerely following their convictions aren't intentionally doing some...

@pauldirks @KaeleyT Respectfully, I think calling Kaeley’s comments “vitriol” is over the top. I know you actually agreed with her objection and are nuanced on this and a sincere complementarian, but perhaps you might have a different perspective if...

@ArmoryOC @Brian_Sauve No, I’m not claiming to know best. I’m not claiming to be a “doctor of the church” (that usually happens once a person is long dead), and I am not claiming that you cannot test what I’m saying by scripture. And I already show...

@ArmoryOC @Brian_Sauve You don’t seem very open. I deal with every one of these

@ArmoryOC @Brian_Sauve You keep repeating yourself. The apostles had it right. I don’t know what all the “doctors” of the church all taught, but what matters is scripture. The Waldensiens were not modern and got this right in the 12th century. Is...

@ArmoryOC @Brian_Sauve I deal with the phrase “one wife husband” here. https://t

@ArmoryOC @Brian_Sauve “A woman” not “all women.” Paul was dealing with a specific situation of a deceived woman who was ignorant but who was no longer in the faith. She was teaching heresy and her husband who wasn’t deceived was not speaking up. ...

@ArmoryOC @Brian_Sauve There’s nothing in the Biblical law that says that women should be silent in the assembly. That is from the Talmud, the oral Jewish traditions because they were trying to prevent males from lusting after women by hearing their...

@40tons70mph @Brian_Sauve @CovenantReform2 You cannot speak to my motives or why I’m convinced scripture teaches egalitarian treatment of women within the church. I have no problem saying no to women. I can also say no to men. The qualifications a...

@40tons70mph @Brian_Sauve @CovenantReform2 Whether it was the hotbed of gender egalitarianism or not, the truth stands. It doesn’t matter if currently the culture gets some things correct. You don’t judge something by the current cultural backdrop ...

@40tons70mph @Brian_Sauve @CovenantReform2 That’s not true. The church at large is not always correct. I’m not sure whether you are a Roman Catholic or not, but if you are protestant, Luther opposed the tradition of the church and protestants belie...

@40tons70mph @Brian_Sauve @CovenantReform2 Nope, you are changing the subject. Obviously you cannot fill in the blank with anything! Do you think the historical church was infallible? We were talking about qualified women being allowed to lead, pr...

@NijayKGupta Nijay, your book is great and its a wonderful start to the conversation. However, we still need to work together as there were still some things that we could improve on like how we explain the tough passages, such as 1 Tim 2:11-15. I ...

@Brian_Sauve A lot of the response is reactionary, for sure. And you are right, that properly behaving Christians set the bar high. But women rightly ask why they cannot lead or teach simply based on their biological sex when the Biblical text does...

@VinhasTJ @Brian_Sauve I guess you didn’t read my post I linked. The Greek orders “one” in front so the emphasis is on oneness or fidelity to one’s spouse. But Paul wasn’t married. Would Jesus even be qualified as an overseer? I don’t think Paul ...
