@DavePellowe @MikeWingerii And the church initially rejected Gentiles and had to be corrected. Paul said that after his departure, wolves would come into the church. Sounds like a setup for abuse and

@JamesGi27467089 I’m quite happy when complementarians allow more and more freedom to women to take more influential positions. If it is only a denial of the title but allowing them to teach others including men and provide pastoral counseling, and l...

@smashbaals …in a Christian church you mean. No reason why they can’t do that at

@BoilerLevi @KaeleyT As an egalitarian, I’ve gotten along well in complementarian churches, though maybe it’s because my wife doesn’t feel led to preach or join the elders. Some comp churches won’t allow me to join the leadership team just for disagr...

@ronhenzel Does all this talk about the freedoms Roman women had apply to Greek

@MelonieMac Yes, Christ is king. But the RNC is not a church and part of being r

@JollyStine @JayMallow3 If Christians didn’t participate with Roman customs they could be seen as problematic, but the point appears to be that Christians who practice freedom (what Paul is advocating for) would not have issues here. But all Christia...

@MrBully67 Pushing for a good thing is a disaster because good things only come

@benjamin_d_cook @riemersonck @VCITW Again, the one forbidding and prohibiting is the one acting like a Pharisee. Galatians 2:4: “Yet because of false brothers secretly brought in—who slipped in to spy out our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, s...

@Robert_S_Morley @Grump_Old_Man @ronhenzel @smashbaals Yes, I agree with this—but Paul is quoting from the letter from the Corinthians that he said earlier in 1Co 7:1 that he was responding to. And we have more evidence that the Judiazers were infilt...

@jtdxn_ Well, Stephen Wolfe’s kind of legislation appears to block those who disagree with him since he blocked me. So he doesn’t act like someone who believes in freedom of speech. Would he legislate his own particular Christian beliefs and criminal...

@InnovationHQ2 @elijahtmadison @SpecterAndBride @tigereyes1972 Paul is not negating his own teaching on covering because he is advocating for not covering and giving women the freedom to decide what to do. Paul says in verse 6 that "If a woman does ...

@Gates_of_Derry @MikeWingerii I should have said "if one group cannot live within the restrictions imposed or freedoms practiced by the church they are attending, then they have the option to leave peaceably and find another church that agrees with t...

@ronhenzel @ymmotrojam @CherylSchatz @JollyStine @pastherandie @peace_got @MikeWingerii I just read "Hard Sayings of the Bible," by Walter C. Kaiser Jr, Peter H Davids, FF Bruce, Manfred T. Brauch from 1996. The part on 1Co 14:34-35 does not propose...

@peace_got @MikeWingerii He is free to sincerely believe and practice complementarian views but not to divide egalitarian churches and treat them like they are in rebellion because they simply practice freedom. Read Romans 14. Mike said this is seco...

@B_Christs_Amb I actually prefer Mike's version of comp as it is nearly functionally egal and gives women more freedom to teach and speak and do theology than other versions. I was part of a thriving Calvary Chapel church which is comp for years. Bu...

Mike himself admits he leans more towards freedom in practice which is more egal

@btgolz @michael_ronning @freedom4alltime @VoicesHead100 @3HillsMinor @Rattle_Resists There’s nothing that says God chose Deborah to Israel’s shame. You are adding this to the account. Barak didn’t want to go without Deborah, so a woman received the...

@freedom4alltime Ok, it’s not like it cannot work either way. But the ones who still to gendered roles should not consider the ones who don’t to be in sin or weak or rebellious. That’s all. And I’d prefer to go back to the Apostles’ teaching and not ...

@freedom4alltime You can call me weak if you want. But I don’t see allowing and encouraging women to serve alongside men as weakness. I think many misunderstand the “natural order” and presume men are supposed to rule women when that’s not at all wha...

@freedom4alltime “Women know their role, they’re just refusing to submit to it”—where does the Bible refer to gendered roles? Is this concept or the word “role” even in scripture? A woman exercising her gifts is not rebelling if she has studied 1 Co...

@freedom4alltime You are certainly right that we have narcissistic and self-serv

@freedom4alltime Yes, this is a problem, but it isn’t due to one gender⎯ and yes

@freedom4alltime There is certainly an unhealthy feminism in the culture. No disagreement there. That’s why I think egalitarian is a better term. It speaks of freeing females to be whatever God calls and gifts them to, but it also means they are equa...

@freedom4alltime There is certainly a worldly form of feminism that is not healthy. All of us are supposed to be willing to lay down our rights and even our own desires to serve one another, and that should apply equally to men and women (see Phil 2)...

@freedom4alltime I think you go too far here. Yes, we all should be willing to be like Ruth and just be faithful, though Ruth did step out in faith by leaving her own people and submitting herself to Naomi and her God and whatever Naomi wanted. Their...

@freedom4alltime You hit on a good point here—I don’t think women should be seeking fame or popularity or that sort of thing. I remember asking my former pastor to share a message on Sunday that I felt the Holy Spirit impressing on me and he said he ...

@freedom4alltime Hi Erin - I see my pastor once per week for a few hours. Those in my Bible study I see more frequently as we hang out at other times. While I lead a Bible study, I don’t always teach, but frequently offer guidance and meet with peopl...

@TheMuppetPastor @freedom4alltime Yes, though I don’t think you can lump everyon

@freedom4alltime @TheMuppetPastor I agree with that. Tearing down patriarchy and replacing with matriarchy is going too far. It also seems to say that patriarchy is selfish too, hogging all the leadership and sometimes speaking opportunities…no? I...

@NaijaSkywalker @haymes_joshua I understand the need to protect our freedoms and sovereignty as a nation, but the church is not defended by flesh and blood and the church is not weakened by women assisting defending the faith and leading as strong le...

@smashbaals Women are unqualified by an immutable characteristic? This sounds like going back to slavery to the law… "It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery." (Gal 5...

@ronhenzel It’s not about who moved, but that the straight jacket was in place to start with. Binding churches to unbiblical restrictions results in conflict and division. Of course one thinks it’s biblical and another thinks they are wrong. But it...

@HITlifter In 1 Cor 14:34-35, Paul is refuting Judiazers who are trying to limit

@BarberraBarker @choyMM @Freedom_1961_ @Conservative_BC @pauldirks Maybe someone can call them and ask why they haven’t updated based on the canceled order from July 14. Maybe they aren’t required to remove restrictions but just aren’t required to i...

@BogdanOancea77 @Hansronsdorf Hans may have a different viewpoint, but I would think there was some disagreement. There's a quote something like this: "You put three Jews in a room you get four opinions." At any rate, Paul refers to Judiazers that ...
