@JeremyMBauman @MikeWingerii @DoctrinesofRad You said that Mike would have a problem with a woman having authority. What does that mean? Is the pastor supposed to tell you what to do? I’ve been asking

@JollyStine @ronhenzel The thing is we don’t know much about what Alexander and Hymenaeus were teaching, just that it was very serious. In 2 Tim 2:17-18, Hymenaeus is mentioned again, this time with Philetus, and it is specified that they have “wand...

@TBush1689 @pastherandie @Ashwin_Vengayil @TimothyMHurst @DaxEverts @DoctrinesofRad @MikeWingerii "holding forth"? I think I know what the problem is...you and many others feel that the job of the pastor is to be authoritative. I think you got the w...

@TimothyMHurst @pastherandie @TBush1689 @Ashwin_Vengayil @DaxEverts @DoctrinesofRad @MikeWingerii This is not correct. It doesn't even say "If any man desires to be an overseer..." It says "if anyone/someone desires to be an overseer." There are not ...

@ronhenzel @johnnylately Ok, so in the churches Paul and the apostles oversaw, women were teaching and pastoring along with men, then there were 19 centuries of suppression of women, and we have finally now realized our error and are correcting back ...

@TBush1689 @pastherandie @Ashwin_Vengayil @TimothyMHurst @DaxEverts @DoctrinesofRad @MikeWingerii On basis do you conclude this? Surely you are not referring to 1 Tim 3:1–13, which has no male pronouns, nowhere, says “must not be a woman”, and even s...

@DiscoverJesus3 @pastherandie @ronhenzel I appreciate your encouragement here. J

@stablecross @ronhenzel The issue is that her husband is not deceived and knows better but is not doing anything about his unsaved wife teaching false doctrine to the church. This would have been a very difficult situation for the young single Timoth...

@VoicesHead100 @ScottCross_8 @3HillsMinor @Rattle_Resists @Kdubtru @michael_ronning If you want to call following the scripture pitiful then so be it. I’d rather be pitiful to some than disobedient to God. Also, you seem to have come around to now a...

@VoicesHead100 @ScottCross_8 @katsandhearts @3HillsMinor @Rattle_Resists @Kdubtru @michael_ronning Is that so! VoicesInHisHead: The Bible is plain. Just read the English. Them: Uh…it was written in Hebrew and Greek. VoicesInHisHead: what? You thin...

@pauldirks Thanks for responding Paul! So for you this is purely a point of orde

@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...

@sparkobuzzer Yeah, I’d love to know how many think this way. I’m finding that s

@carlaskaufel I 💯 agree with your thinking here. So I’m your opinion, this is about authoritative teaching? I’m always curious to know what complementarians think are Biblically valid examples of taking authority over someone since I don’t recall th...

@JoshBuice @William_E_Wolfe Sorry, I missed the part where Paul says the elders

@JollyStine @WWUTTguy Do you know that “childbearing” is an articulate noun and not a verb (ie. the childbearing)? We are really close in our interpretation, though I have my doubts that Paul left young, single Timothy to instruct married couples t...

@Richard89885354 Yes, I know that there are qualified women which is clear because they meet the character qualities Paul noted and it is evident by the gifting the Holy Spirit has given them. I have thoroughly studied the scriptures on this, so I’m ...

@ApostolicSage @William_E_Wolfe Thanks for the Greek lesson. I have Logos Bible software so I have no problem searching for every variation of the dictionary form. You should also know that just because a noun is masculine doesn't mean that it appli...

@Richard89885354 @William_E_Wolfe Authority over the church? Where are you getting that from? That’s exactly what Jesus says is NOT to be the case. Jesus says, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones *exerci...

@pastherandie Interesting…thanks for providing this reference! I’ll have to add it to my list. BTW, the title does a good job showing that women are working together with men, which is what I think egalitarian implies. Most people nowadays use femi...

@Richard89885354 @MarkGrote This is so strange. I literally stick to the text showing from Paul’s letter to Timothy what Paul says his intentions are, I take the grammar and syntax and references seriously. I don’t ignore anything. I don’t know who ...

@BornAgainMissy @ryancduff @MarkGrote BTW, you do know that a shepherd is the same as a pastor in the New Testament, right? You may not be in any official position, but when comps allow women to function as pastors without having official titles, th...

@terryne02461221 @Vestwitt @JessicaScroggin @HwsEleutheroi I never said that. That person either made a mistake (since he called 'a' and 'an' articles) or he just doesn't know Greek. John 1:1 doesn't say "...the Word was THE God" in the Greek, but t...

@BravinYuri So now a woman praying is exercising authority over men? What doesn'

@TheMuppetPastor After this we are told fierce wolves will come so trusting in future church patterns and teaching is not wise. Everything goes back to the apostles’ teaching. Acts 20:29-30: "I know that after my departure fierce wolves will come i...

@LearningReason @itskellydiane @SummrWrites Interesting, I've never heard someone say that women have to cover their head in the privacy of their own bedroom while praying. That phrase "symbol of" is not in the Greek. It is added by translators who...

I've never heard of Betty Friedan and I don't know anyone who has. Maybe no one wears hair coverings anymore "...for hair is given as a covering"? (1 Cor 11:15b)🤷‍♂️ Or... “But if anyone is inclined to be contentious, we have no such practice, no...

@EnderWender1 4️⃣ Leon Morris quotes from the LSJ: 3. It is easy to be too definite in interpreting head in this verse. We use the term often for a person in authority (cf. ‘Heads of State’), but this usage was unknown in antiquity (except for a few...

@FreeThinkerAng @TheMuppetPastor Paul refers to the creation order between Adam and Eve and relates this to the fact that Eve was deceived but Adam was not. Paul is not using this to support relational hierarchy but to hone in on that first deceptio...

@VirgisViews @FreeThinkerAng @TheMuppetPastor But then there’s Priscillia who also was in Ephesus for a time and was definitely educated. The apostles weren’t educated either, BTW. **Being with Jesus is what matters.** “Now when they saw the boldn...

@NBidnz @JackAllLanterns @harmonizedgrace Ah, that makes sense now. Although it

@elyie_bliss @BBWoofield @harmonizedgrace First you have to ask the question if they are misinterpreting Paul. Paul wrote half of the New Testament, so it's a bit disingenuous to discount Paul's writing. Paul clearly wrote scripture, but if you cal...

@AleahPursley Hi Aleah! Thanks for the question. The following is how inparsed

On the one hand, John has a point because to agree that scripture clearly teaches male only leadership and then to willfully ignore this is clear evidence of rebellion against the Bible. However, I want you to know that this is not what the New Test...

@OutOfThePocket Here’s another one: “And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge ...

@BiffSport @JJacobs63985241 @WomnOfValor The “Mojo hermeneutic”? I see now. No

@Nathanor582613 @WomnOfValor Thanks for the comment. - Paul is clearly responding to the letter from the Corinthians (see 1 Cor 7:1). Since there are no quotes in the original manuscripts, how do we know where Paul is quoting? - Paul refers to the l...
