@ravensfoodblog @MikeWingerii I think that for your view of 1Ti 2:12, however, you cannot agree with my view of authority. It fundamentally undermines your perspective of this passage.

@ravensfoodblog @MikeWingerii Now, I would hope that an elder is one because of their wisdom and knowledge of the scriptures and the gifting God has given to them, and I want to benefit from that.

@ravensfoodblog @MikeWingerii I’ve done that for non-elders too because I follow Eph 5:21. We are to subject ourselves to one another in the fear of Christ. I don’t ignore a brother or sister who says the same thing to me because they are not an elde...

@curtisschlepp @JollyStine If you read 1Ti 3 overliterally an overseer has to be married and have at least 2 believing children. Those who read “husband” and rather than asserting married say “must be male” are not taking the text literally as they c...

@ravensfoodblog @MikeWingerii Paul uses this prototypically and so reaches for a specific word which illustrates what is going on⎯that a deceived and ignorant (and therefore unnamed) wife is teaching false doctrine and her undeceived husband (likely ...

@MeridithABlack @MikeWingerii Well, the reason I asked was because it was Mike that said that I need to repent for propagating what I believe the scripture teaches about women in pastoral ministry which disagrees with what he says it teaches—somethin...

@StevenMKestner @carol66944 @JoelWBerry Given that only two men—Peter and John—are explicitly referred to as elders in the NT (and it is self identification), I’m quite surprised Carol listed these two Old Testament women as examples of elders. Does...

@Pastor_Gabe @JoelWBerry It's not a women's Bible study. And yes, the format was made for a video and not in front of a live audience. Do you really need me to show you one where she's in front of a live audience? What makes a pastor? Is it a label ...

@PastorMark Maybe you remember the Proverbs 31 woman?

@PastorMark "But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever." (1Ti 5:8). The Greek word used here is "τις" (tis), which is a gender-neutral term ...

@PastorMark Well, not that getting married is bad. It’s good. But then Paul advocated for singleness. "I wish that all were as I myself am." (1Co 7:7) "To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is good for them to remain single as I am." (1Co 7...

@avyargo @neecygrace @MikeWingerii You really need me to answer them? Ok. There's no woman called "pastor" in the Bible. Neither is there any man called "pastor." What are you trying to prove? There's no Biblical book which claims to be written by ...

@avyargo @neecygrace @MikeWingerii Ok then, please show me who was explicitly called an elder? I'll help you: Peter and John are the only two and they self identify as elders. So out of 2 who self-identify you claim we don't have a woman mentioned as...

@avyargo @neecygrace @MikeWingerii Show me a man explicitly called "pastor" in the Bible. Who wrote Ruth? Esther? Hebrews? How do you know a woman wasn't involved in writing scripture other than assuming so? If a woman identified herself as the auth...

I find this statement from @MikeWingerii revealing. When someone says a woman cannot be a man I think of immutable differences not eldership. How do comps see the command for both to rule and women made in God’s image as limiting on women from autho...

@slow_down_Jess I have a local pastor who says I am semi-pelagian but he still sees me as a brother in Christ. He just won’t allow me to ever be in leadership…like not even in 20 years kind of thing. He’s a pretty strong Calvinist, so I don’t think t...
