Can a woman correct a man's theology? Can a woman serve communion? The uncertainty causes women to hold back even from things they could do.

Synthesis of cultural evidence: Paul preserves gender-role meaning of coverings against both rich women and Roman ritual practices

The Bacchus/Dionysus cult clatter explanation from CBE International

Mike examines the view promoted by the Center for Biblical Equality (CBE International) connecting the passage to ecstatic cult practices.

Livy CBE International Bacchus/Dionysus cult
Mike Winger idea 2018-01-24

Christian definition of Jesus: the eternal God made flesh, second person of the Trinity, one with the Father in being.

Second vocabulary comparison: the word 'Jesus.' Mike establishes the orthodox Christian Christology before presenting the Mormon alternative.

Trinity Christology incarnation
Mike Winger idea 2018-01-24

Christian definition of exaltation: being with God forever in glorified human bodies — received by grace by every believer as part of salvation.

Eighth vocabulary comparison: 'exaltation.' The Christian meaning is simply eschatological union with God in resurrected bodies.

eschatology glorification Christian exaltation

The early church gathered on both the Sabbath and Sunday (first day of the week) — Acts 20:7 shows Sunday communion; Kim tries to explain this away as a once-a-year event

CoG's 'Passover' is identical to ordinary Christian Communion — the only differences are calling it 'Passover,' requiring women to wear veils, and holding it on a secret date

After two months of research and speaking with former members, Mike determined what CoG actually does at Passover.

Personal anecdote: a young woman used 'all sin is the same' to equate fornication with stealing a pencil, which prompted Mike's investigation of this doctrine.

Mike shares an early formative experience that drove him to examine this topic biblically.

1 Corinthians 6 personal testimony 1 Corinthians 6 Christian living
Mike Winger idea 2018-10-17

Sexual sin is categorically worse than non-sexual sins according to 1 Corinthians 6, and comparing homosexuality to gluttony as though they are equivalent misuses the 'all sin is the same' argument.

Mike addresses a common rhetorical move in contemporary Christian discourse where sexual ethics are deflected by invoking other common sins.

Infants and young children who die are saved — Mike holds this as a personal conviction based on David's hope of reunion with his deceased infant son.

Objective atonement 2,000 years ago vs. subjective appropriation at conversion

Winger explains how a believer can say they died with Christ even though they were not alive when Jesus died.

objective vs subjective atonement union with Christ conversion

Romans 8 is about benefits to those in Christ, not an exclusive statement limiting the atonement's extent

Contextual argument about what Romans 8 is actually teaching.

Q&A: Did Jesus perform miracles as God or purely as a human in right relationship with God?

Q&A: Polygamy is inherently sinful; one-flesh marriage precludes a second wife by definition

A viewer asks how to demonstrate that polygamy is sinful for Christians. Winger argues from the nature of marriage itself and from both Testaments.
