@BillVigus @MikeBrownsWorld @dalepartridge Paul was single prior to the distress. Presumably Timothy was single.

@ministrymisfit @JayMallow3 How they are given citizenship needs to be a fair and agreed upon process. I may be confusing what Kamala wants with what I hear is going on. I could be wrong.

@TimGallantTN @Rattle_Resists @michael_ronning Imagination? Paul’s explicit purpose in writing to Timothy is to “instruct certain people not to teach strange doctrines” not to stop anyone from teaching true doctrine. I am explicitly using Paul’s pur...

@harkening @SKokenos @spencer_newell @MikeWingerii If Paul isn’t speaking generically, you have to prove this using other clues in the text. Yet Paul doesn’t explicitly say “an elder must not be a woman” nor does he even use any male pronouns and exp...

@pauldirks @KaeleyT I know someone that this happened to also. Jesus spent time alone with the Samaritan woman in a public location, so it's not a sin, but one has to be careful. Joseph was alone with Potiphar's wife which he likely couldn't contro...

@JCalebJones @Phil_Johnson_ Mt 18 is still not being followed here, IMO. The purpose of 1 or 2 witnesses is to 'confirm every fact' (Mt 18:16), &amp; those witnesses are to stand before the entire church if he is unrepentant (Mt 18:17). Elders that a...

@Chainsaw59598 @JoshuaSethSchu1 It’s a part of the meal when they stop and remember the Lord’s death. So it’s both. In 1Co 11:21-22, Paul isn’t simply telling people to eat at home because they are hungry; he's addressing the broader issue of selfis...

@masonmennenga It’s very easy to avoid “the situation” by not being an ass? He wasn’t, yet Potiphar’s wife came after him and he had no witnesses so her false allegations were believed by her husband. It’s wise to avoid compromising situations so yo...

@SKokenos As for why Adam would need to protect Eve, Genesis 2:15 states that God placed Adam in the garden to "cultivate and keep" it. The Hebrew word for "keep" (שָׁמַר, *shamar*) also means "guard," implying that Adam had a protective role. While ...

@TracyWelborn6 Well, I just find it curious that what you believe is very similar to Mormon teaching… "Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy." (2 Nephi 2:25). "The fall of man came as a blessing in disguise... Had Adam...

@Bradcrossman I was tracking with you, but it sounds like you think Adam had authority over Eve before the fall. Where was Adam given authority over Eve before the fall? That’s why I framed it as a promotion since the first time we see God mentioning...

@carol66944 @RedefineApolog1 @lollyfana In fact, in Ro 5:18-19, Paul argues that just as you received curse of sin and death from the fall even though you didn’t originally do anything to deserve it (it is universal to all men), so ALSO through the o...

@carol66944 @RedefineApolog1 @lollyfana Why are you disparaging my view as a “soap opera”? Even though we may disagree on the how, we are on the same team, right? Ro 5 says “one” man not mankind. And then Paul contrasts with Jesus who is one man. Pa...

@Sacred_Panda_ Thanks for providing the definition! Yes, Paul is using this term to declare that all believers are to treat all other believers in a preferential manner. Just because a word is used in the context of military rank and hierarchy does n...
