@EricisAmerican @Protestia Can you list who specifically the NT notes as being called a pastor (poimen)? How about who is explicitly called an elder (presbyteros)? How about overseer (episkopos)?

@jdogmac117830 @subq Yes. Which is absolutely not what Calvinism teaches. I argue Calvinists misread Rom 3:10-12 taking it out of its original context from Paul’s quote from Ps 14 and 53.

@TodAshby @5Solas2 The question in the OP was “perfect” and. The Hebrew term used in Ezekiel 28:15 means perfect. Clearly Adam nor any person in creation was created without the ability to sin. https:

@Truth_matters20 The apostle Paul is quoting from Ps 14 where it is clear from the context that “no one” is “not one of those fools who says in his heart, ‘there is no God.’” Paul is not taking Ps 14

@MackDonahue If someone becomes a complementarian and then becomes uncomfortable with their female pastor, then they should *quietly* leave because this is not a sin issue. Mike himself says that. And he clearly shows he knows repentance has to do wi...

@MackDonahue He surely can be disappointed that egalitarianism is spreading and becoming more popular. So? Fix that by gently and patiently correcting it with the truth (as he sees it). PS&gt; I am currently part of a complementarian church. I don't...

@MackDonahue Hang on⎯I'm not asking Mike to repent of his complementarian teaching. Therein lies the difference. I am currently part of a complementarian church! I know how to get along with those I disagree with!! I'm asking him to retract his divi...

@darylsterk Sorry, I just saw this now. There are certainly false teachings and myths that were coming in. Paul’s explicitly statements suggest Jewish myths: “…myths and endless genealogies, which give rise to useless speculation rather than advanc...

@JoeAdrian256 @iheartJ37 @MikeWingerii No, you cannot interpret them any way you want. The context *always* determines meaning. But one must recognize that establishing a doctrine on a hapax logomena is not a good idea. In this case, the English tran...

@BronzAgeLarper @KevinCanale24 @rightresponsem Where did you get that idea from? Paul’s letter was addressed “to the church of God which is at Corinth” (1Co 1:2). Further, his comments in 1Co 7:7 show he is speaking to “all people”: “Yet I wish that...

@Am1argento @dalepartridge I see, so Jesus never existed but Paul did? And Paul fabricated Jesus so that he could get himself killed for preaching this Jesus who he claimed was raised bodily from the dead? “For the resurrection of the dead I am on t...

Many people think egalitarians are rejecting the “plain meaning” of 1Ti 2:12 and 1Ti 3:2. At the same time they have no problem recognizing that what the text first sounds like elsewhere is frequently different after checking the context. I give lot...

@Saved5872 @MikeWingerii I carefully studied all the passages that appeared at first glance to restrict or prevent women from leadership, serving as elders or pastors or to prevent them from speaking ‘authoritatively’…but what I found is that in each...

@PeterNDecker @BrandonABourg @sister_slay If you believe (as I do) that James is describing the kind of faith and not adding works to faith, then you should be appalled by the statement “…after all we can do.” You should demand your church to rescin...

@BrandonABourg @PeterNDecker @sister_slay Not only that, but they constantly refer to it. In the teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Smith (2007), it features the statement: “God himself was once as we are now…” and discusses it as truth, ...

@emily_breiten @turnedwife I’m not arguing that it wasn’t common for women to wear head coverings until they didn’t. For many, I suspect they were just doing what they thought they were required to do and stopped when they weren’t required. Others ...

@AlaynePearl @BronWen727104 @turnedwife No, that’s not it. Read 1Co 6:2-3. Women are also saints, and that means they will also judge angels one day. So following Paul’s earlier argument then, women should have authority over their own head to deci...

@nickschest @Rach4Patriarchy @celestialbe1ng Eph 5:21 says "and subject yourselves to one another in the fear of Christ"⎯it's mutual. So your comment about a "prideful woman who doesn't know how to follow" suggests a prideful man trying to force his ...

@Ryan_Adair_A My comments were very much focused on 1Ti 2:12 and it’s context. Is there anywhere where someone is not permitted to teach truth to someone? Also, I don’t think there is a rule that “teach” has to always be one way for the whole letter....

In the thread starting from the following post, I go through the basis for Paul’s reference to Adam and Eve in 1Ti 2:13-14, the order of creation and how this relates to Eve’s being deceived by examining Genesis 2 in detail. It’s not gymnastics; it’...

@Reneechop I totally accept that scripture⎯but let me ask you, you are claiming I'm a 'evil man' and 'imposter' for suggesting that a woman can teach truth to men, even from the pulpit (which didn't exist in the first century), and even serve in the ...

@Reneechop MacArthur for all his learning overlooks how Paul since ch7 has been responding to things that the Corinthians wrote in their letter to him. Paul quotes them and then refutes them: “What? came the word of God out from you[men]? or came i...

@Reneechop First you told me that women are more easily deceived than men, and then after I carefully explained my position verse by verse and showed how it makes sense of everything in the context and the grammar, you then tell me I am deceived and ...

@Reneechop I never said women weren’t made differently. This is evident even to a baby. Weaker is referring to strength and emotional response to stress. It doesn’t mean unable to discern truth or more easily deceived. Where does scripture say that ...

@Reneechop @sparkobuzzer Whether God’s Word clearly teaches something first depends on whether you have rightly divided what it says in the first place. A text out of its context is a pretext for a proof text. Why do you suppose that even Peter ack...

@Reneechop You are making an assertion. Where does the text say that women are forbidden from teaching true doctrine to men? Or teaching authoritatively? Are men easily deceived that they cannot discern truth from error if a woman teaches but only if...
