@ErweeKoos @ronhenzel Paul wasn’t the fool of Psalm 14; he was ignorant and serving God fervently with zeal in the way that he thought was right. In 1 Tim 1:12-13, Paul states, "I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that he consi...

@LearningReason @itskellydiane @SummrWrites Ok, there is certainly something going on⎯though it seems to be with the Judiazers. In Jewish contexts, if a wife were to become a Christian and then were found to be uncovered in public, this may lead to ...

@UndyingLegend79 @TheMuppetPastor It’s because women wet being treated like property, baby machines and house slaves. The men were not really living their wives. So the wife resents her husband and no longer submits as she does to Christ. We are a...

@TheMuppetPastor You have good points. You are right that if a husband loves his wife like Christ loves us there would be no issues. But isn’t the wife also called to love like Christ loves? In fact, that’s the call of the Christian! “But I see no...

@jabberwookie80 @harmonizedgrace Nothing in Eph 5 says "wives obey your husbands." Also...Eph 5:21 says "and subject [ὑποτάσσω, hypotasso] yourselves to one another in the fear of Christ." So if we are to subject ourselves to each other, then whate...

@BBWoofield @harmonizedgrace I don't see any reference to "obey" there. Any passage that says "wives...being subject [ὑποτάσσω hypotasso] to their husbands" has to be taken in light of Eph 5:21 which says "and subject [ὑποτάσσω hypotasso] yourselves...

@WomnOfValor It depends on what you mean by this. Holding to the intended meaning of the Bible especially with respect to the foundation beliefs concerning the gospel, sin and the nature of God and man would certainly not be immature because these a...

@worldneedsOil @smashbaals Generally speaking you are right that religions are as numerous as cultures. However, the Bible transcends all cultures. Don’t assume that America is a Christian Nation or that its political leaders or even the popular pr...

@ManuelMencia11 @AndBlackburn233 @CSavedByGrace18 No, if you do not repent, you will lose your salvation. Salvation is by faith and someone who claims to be a Christian but refuses to submit to God is a liar and the truth is not in him. This may so...

@masonmennenga Generalizing for everyone means you are clearly wrong. I’m an evangelical and I believe the Bible is inerrant and that I might not be correct in all of my interpretations—so I go back to the Bible and let it correct me. Also…not all ...

@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...

@MrRoyMcAvoy @kelcy_lowry @The_Wry_Griot @JonnyRoot_ Are you suggesting I’m a false convert because I demonstrate a scriptural basis for godly women teaching true doctrine and pastoring? This is not a fundamental of the Christian faith. Can you poi...

@MikeWingerii @j_bambrick Also, it’s unfortunate that some egalitarians think that Artemis is the reason for the problem. While Artemis was a huge thing for the Ephesians, when they accepted Christ, probably their #1 mark is abandoning Artemis: "Yo...

@MarkGrote While Artemis was important in Ephesian life, I highly doubt that this was the problem in the church since: - Paul’s preaching resulted in the new believers abandoning Artemis almost like it was the mark of what a Christian was - Paul ment...

@pauldirks @DeeGoingsGirl @KaeleyT This shows that you think Christ changes a woman **through** the husband. Paul—as respectfully as I can say it, this is a recipe for disaster. If it seems to be working for you, that is by the grace of God or perh...

@pauldirks @KaeleyT @DeeGoingsGirl On the contrary, when the church is complementarian-ized, the uniqueness of the work of Christ is taken away. - Where do we have a human being told to sanctify another human being? - Where are the methods the man i...
