@godlywomanhood Ok, but the husband and wife both submit to each other. Submit is in Eph 5:21, not in Eph 5:22. https://t.co/Z58JiQI6JM https://t.co/T5r9cgv2Xx

@rabinahakin Yes, wives should submit to their husbands⎯not as owners or overlords, but as unto the Lord⎯with that same love and affection. But the "submit" is actually in verse 21: "...and subject yourselves to one another in the fear of Christ." ...

@EKHyland The saving grace for complementarians is that they believe that the husband is to love his wife as Christ loved the church. So even though it is very easy to get out of balance, it can still work. For that reason, I think we can live in p...

@darylsterk @EKHyland Take a look at this thread. Paul left Timothy to stop false teaching in Ephesus, not to stop women from teaching true doctrine. There is a deceived woman who is off the reservation and she is ‘committing spiritual murder’ over...

@TakTik227f1 @KaitlynSchiess So Paul means that only the men can prophecy and only the men can learn? But Paul assumes women are praying and prophesying in the congregation in 1 Cor 11:5. Why does he say all in 1 Cor 14:31 and not "all males"? Wha...

@godlywomanhood That’s not true. 1 Tim 2:11-15 is referring to a specific deceived woman teaching in the church at Ephesus. Her husband is not deceived and saying nothing—and so this couple is just like the prototypes in Genesis 3. Paul is deali...

@DST_QA @YourCalvinist I go through in detail what 1 Tim 2:11-15 is referring to. In short, there is a specific woman in Ephesus that is deceived (like Eve was) whose husband is not but is silent (like Adam). Paul doesn't name her because Timothy h...

@DST_QA Yes, when we submit to others, we are looking out for their interests above our own. We set aside what we want and we do what someone else wants. Husbands have a calling to do that too. "I believe that when a man submits to his wife, he is...

@DST_QA That is my point. We don’t take it literally. To think it would apply to sneezing is a little absurd though. There’s nothing in 1 Cor 14:34-35 that says it’s about a woman being a pastor. “If they [wives] want to inquire about anything th...

@DST_QA When a woman is treated like property, a means to obtaining children or as a slave to keep things in order for the husband, she doesn’t submit to him fully like to Christ. We are all called to submit one to another out of fear of Christ. Ep...

@DST_QA This is a prophecy from God spoken to Even, not Adam. If God wanted to communicate to Adam that He should rule over Eve, why didn’t He say it to Adam? And when we rule over creation, we use it for our benefit. Should the wife be used for t...

@pkh7276_pkh @MarkGrote @OperHealAmerica I understand that view, but Paul was correcting a problem in the husband wife relationships of those he writes to in the Ephesians letter. The command is “Be filled” and the fruit is described in participles,...

@pauldirks @KaeleyT Elaborating on Gen 3:16… Why did God tell Eve that her husband would rule over her rather than God saying to Adam that He gave him rule over her? God did not say to Eve that she was to be in a place of permanent subordination. Wh...

@pauldirks @KaeleyT @CharmyRosewolf Let me ‘splain. It’s that you think the wife is not also to emulate Christ in the way that Ephesians 5 describes of the husband. Perhaps the husband is to go first but the wife treads the same path as it is the s...

@pauldirks @CharmyRosewolf @KaeleyT The husband is a type of Christ but that doesn’t mean that the wife is not also to follow the example of Christ. There is only one Christ, not a female one for females to follow and a male one just for males to fo...
