@MarkGrote Education plays a part as elders need to be able to teach and to correct those who contradict the Word, but none of the 12 disciples were educated. What was important was that they spent time with Jesus and were discipled. What changed i...

@pauldirks @DeeGoingsGirl @KaeleyT Paul, I would want to be part of your church because it is part of Jesus' church and a church that is presumably trying their best to follow Jesus' commands. It would seem to me that the unity of the church is very...

@cbankston7 @ymmotrojam Yes, precisely! Judge those in the church, not those who don’t claim to be believers. It doesn’t mean to judge only while people are in the building called the church, but if anyone calls himself a brother, Jesus calls you t...

@DST_QA @sympatheticNPC @ich1ban123456 @ymmotrojam Phil 2 states quite clearly that Jesus was completely equal in every way with the Father before the incarnation. Now he has all authority and is actually prioritized over the father and Holy Spirit ...

@DST_QA @sympatheticNPC I became egalitarian after about 13 years of marriage and it helped save my marriage. Paul and Peter are addressing particular issues and not saying wives are not to love and give their lives like Jesus not husbands not to su...

@DST_QA @sympatheticNPC @ich1ban123456 @ymmotrojam I like how you described this. Jesus didn’t consider equality with God something to be grasped, or held into, but makes himself a servant. This is the statements of the text. He should be worshipp...

@DST_QA @sympatheticNPC I don’t think you understand. I believe we both have the mandate to lay down our lives. All believers are to emulate Jesus, not just husbands. In an egalitarian marriage, both partners are equally valued and respected. In a...

@Truth_matters20 That scripture is clear: you have to have the son to have life!

@sympatheticNPC @DST_QA One more comment⎯Yes, Paul directs men to love their wives as Jesus loves His church, but do you think that women are not also to love as Jesus loves? Just because that is not stated doesn't mean it is not implied. Perhaps t...

@pauldirks @DeeGoingsGirl @KaeleyT When you say obey, do you mean obey against one’s will? Are we to obey Jesus against our will? I don’t think that’s what this means. Further, is Jesus not saying that He will fulfill whatever His people ask in Hi...

@pauldirks @KaeleyT @DeeGoingsGirl This line of reasoning is interesting to me because on your accounting, the husband represents Jesus (who is God) and the church represents redeemed but sinful humans. This is a setup for serious abuse as all men a...

@kelcy_lowry @JeremyMBauman @hamillaaron @MarkGrote Thanks, I appreciate this response. I pray first that while many of us disagree, we can appreciate those who are doing their best to try to follow scripture and obey Jesus’ instructions and not bre...

@pauldirks @KaeleyT @DeeGoingsGirl If I was your boss and I commanded you to obey me, your complete obedience to me would certainly make things work. The measure of Biblical is not simply what works. But this is not how Jesus wants our relationship...

This is the fruit of a husband who exists to be served rather than to serve, who thinks that he doesn't have to obey the instruction "subject yourselves to one another in the fear of Christ" (Eph 5:21). “But Jesus called them to Himself and said, 'Y...

@DriverXag @sparkobuzzer @ZacharyGarris Gal 3:26 is not dealing with physical land, but the inheritance given to Jesus. It’s about salvation and everything else. This includes the church. There’s nothing passed from male to male in terms of leader...

By banning women…even from administering communion, churches have no choice but to leave these denominations. It is these denominations that are causing division. Jesus cares about the unity of His body and causing division over these matters is no...

@pastherandie @lastadolphin @Brian_Sauve Leading is possible but this doesn’t mean authority over or the boss of or the final decision maker. Jesus says the greatest leader is the greatest slave. Ideally both lead in an equal partnership according ...

@RushiXmakima @MaryThurma27729 I agree with you that the church as it is especially in the west is unnecessarily fractured. I had a pastor tell me that I was welcome to become a member but since I disagreed with him on Calvinism, I would not be allo...

@ich1ban123456 @ymmotrojam We don't interpret scripture by history, but by the text. - No-one is specifically identified as a pastor in the New Testament except Jesus. - Only two identify as elders (Peter and John), and they self identify. - No one i...

@ymmotrojam The Amplified Bible says that anyone who doesn’t recognize the Lord’s commandments (throughout chapter 14) is to be disregarded and not recognized. The ISV says "he should be ignored." Those who refuse to acknowledge that it is the comm...

@graceforprize Being witnesses to all that Jesus said and did is exactly what the apostles did. They didn’t make up their own doctrine and expect people to follow it. There may be other reasons why Jesus picked all male apostles for the 12. And no...

@ReformedDoc @Guitardo7 @ronhenzel @CherylSchatz @717edu @StevenUllmer @JasonTimerson @Chad4328 You are assuming that Jesus’ sacrifice saves through God’s decision of who to apply salvation to. That’s not how the Bible describes salvation. The only...
