@dalepartridge Your wording is needlessly divisive. Where does the Bible qualify pastors with “male”? No one is even explicitly called “pastor” in the NT. And we actually have at least one example of a female shepherd—Rachael in Ge 29:9 is explicitl...

@deensreggin @smashbaals On what basis are you making that claim? 1Ti 3:2 is not saying “must not be a woman” any more than it is saying “must be a married man” as even Paul himself wasn’t married. ht

@Heiserite @lutherananswers Let me re-explain Paul's reasoning. If she will judge angels, then surely she has the authority over her own head to decide whether to cover her head while praying or prophesying. It explains it quite clearly and complet...

@pauldirks @KaeleyT The focus on gender roles may be part of the problem. When you tell women that their role is to be in the kitchen, you give no valid option for those who like things that boys like and everyone is unique. Clearly there are differe...

@AletheiaHS @ManassehRJones @subq @immrbloo Hm, well the example you gave of a God-hater was Paul’s testimony and he never said he was a God hater. I also wasn’t a God hater. I’m not saying God haters cannot be saved, but I’m simply asking for a Bi...

@AletheiaHS @ManassehRJones @subq @immrbloo Why are you speaking for me? What is it that I don’t know? Paul doesn’t claim to be a God hater but someone who was zealous as he thought this was a heretical sect growing in the Jewish faith. https://t.co/...

@ManassehRJones @AletheiaHS @subq @immrbloo I’m denying the faith? Faith didn’t buy you—Jesus did. His death bought all humans, especially believers (1Ti 4:10). Taking personal responsibility for my faith is not worshipping the creature! You are jus...

@AletheiaHS @ManassehRJones @subq @immrbloo One I would agree with would be: Eph 2:8 “For by grace are you saved through [your the] faith; and that [salvation is] not of yourselves: it is the grace of God.” The bracketed words are not in the Greek ...

@AletheiaHS @ManassehRJones @subq @immrbloo The Bible assumes that we are the originators of our own belief or unbelief, though God does get involved to blind or harden someone in their unbelief because of their persistence. Salvation is grace given...

@AletheiaHS @ManassehRJones @subq @immrbloo Belief is the response of a man's will to God's Word and conviction, yes. God is a God of convincing not coercion. And He doesn't use love potion to override our wills⎯what kind of love is it if God forced ...
