@DST_QA @sympatheticNPC Sure, I understand you are not only responding to the few who are interacting. If you think of submitting as a matter of authority over the will of another, I think this may be why it is repulsive to you. We are not "command...

@DST_QA @sympatheticNPC You keep going to the obey and commanding part. Mutual submission is not about commanding and obeying against our will. Both the parent and the child have a common goal to eat, the parent alone has the power to provide and c...

@DST_QA @sympatheticNPC Why do you need a quora post to summarize what you said quite well in 2 sentences? I never said that we are to treat God like a genie, or that he will do something that is not aligned with his will, but that he submits to doi...

@pauldirks @DeeGoingsGirl @KaeleyT When you say obey, do you mean obey against one’s will? Are we to obey Jesus against our will? I don’t think that’s what this means. Further, is Jesus not saying that He will fulfill whatever His people ask in Hi...

@DST_QA @sympatheticNPC “Women and children have wilfull submission” All submission is to be willful. Did you forget that men need to submit to all in the body too? If so, then submission has nothing to do with authority otherwise mutual submissio...

@smashbaals Yes. We hold Christians to scripture. As for unbelievers, God will deal with them. That’s where you get this wrong. "For what business of mine is it to judge outsiders? Do you not judge those who are within the church? ***But those w...

@DeeGoingsGirl @pauldirks @KaeleyT Yes, and your willingness to do what you believe is right is commendable. For the record, as an egalitarian I don’t believe in forcing oneself into positions just because you believe you have the right to. Even as...

@DeeGoingsGirl @pauldirks @KaeleyT “But many who are first will be last; and the last, first.” (Matt 19:30) The fact that people make Gal 3:26-29 about eternity only is unjustified. What we are doing now is preparing us for eternity. And those who...

@BibleBashed @sympatheticNPC Women in that time were not usually the ones who trained for war, men did. So to "be like women" is simply a pejorative stereotype showing how these Egyptian men will cower before the Lord. BTW, if men can act like wome...

@TheYagosto @AverageSc0t @MikeWingerii @NathanFinochio As a married man, I recognize the many ways that me and my wife complement one another and yet we both lead according to our gifting, responsibility and desire⎯neither is the authority over the o...

@smashbaals Christ will rule at the second advent. He will reign on the throne of David from Jerusalem. In the mean time, "…I [Paul] urge that requests, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving be made in behalf of all people, for kings and all who ...

@ZacharyGarris But an unrepentant, willful lifestyle of sin means you are outside of the faith. Again, where—and you must provide this—is a woman speaking, teaching, leading, overseeing, pastoring EVER stated to be a sin or listed in any list of sin...

@IIIIIJOSHIIIII @PubliusJosephus @DickSaban1 I’m all for more faithful men! Bring them on. But those men should be humble servants. You can’t blame society on the church. Unbelievers will be unbelievers. But if they see the church blindly doing ...

@ronhenzel @HwsEleutheroi However, in this case we have two anarthrous, "a woman" and "Eve" and one arthrous "the woman"⎯we have to determine who fits. They are both close and there is no hard and fast rule how close. Paul's context and grammar wil...

@ronhenzel @HwsEleutheroi We have "a woman" who, if she exists in the church at Ephesus, can be the anarthrous which the article is being pointed to by the article. She also fits the grammar of v15: "She (the deceived wife teaching false doctrine) w...

@ThandaM2 @lukepwilliams @Brian_Sauve This idea that the husband is to represent God and the wife to represent humans is pretty serious because we are all flawed individuals. Anyone that thinks that they have the role of God in someone's life and ca...

@lastadolphin @Brian_Sauve Interesting. I think men need to lead more, but I don't think that means they need to be in authority over their wives and break every tie in decision making. Egalitarianism is not Matriarchy; it is equality, mutuality an...

@StothersRyan @GodandQountry Where are you getting authority from? I think you are thinking that submission means unquestioning allegiance or obedience to, but this is not what is going on in Eph 5:21. Biblically, it means willingly "standing under...

@Jimmer4Pres @WWUTTcom Did you view the video by Dr. James White? He says the anarthrous precedes the articular. Paul says "a woman/wife," then highlights her prototype, Eve, then clarifies "the woman...she will be saved through the childbearing if...

@WeakGameForever @NeilShenvi @MikeWingerii But Paul says "a woman" not "all women." And then this would also mean you are saying "All women will be saved through childbearing if all women continue in faith..." Which makes one wonder how men are sav...

@ronhenzel The only meaning I'm twisting is the one you seemed to shoehorn into the text. Eve will be saved...if they continue in faith...? Who is the they? I think we have to take how Paul was using his words and not try to twist them to mean som...

@MargMowczko Thanks Marg. If Paul had a specific woman in mind who he linked with the prototypical Eve, how would he refer to her? Would there be a different way to do it? Also, do you think "the woman" in vs14 is the one in v15, "She will be save...

@ronhenzel Next time you talk to someone and mention your wife’s name, follow it up with “the woman” and then ask your wife what she thinks of that. Is this how we normally speak? “Tamara is coming…but the woman will be late”?? Ah, but we have ano...

@ymmotrojam @3HillsMinor @Rattle_Resists @Kdubtru @michael_ronning I am working on a chart and I’ll share that with you once I’m done. It might help to visualize the text to see how this explanation fits Paul’s argument perfectly. Also, if you don’...

@ymmotrojam @3HillsMinor @Rattle_Resists @Kdubtru @michael_ronning 1 Timothy 3:15 (NASB95) 15 but in case I am delayed, I write so that you will know how one ought to conduct himself in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the...

@ymmotrojam @Deigratia1985 @ich1ban123456 @kelcy_lowry How do you know that “She (singular, feminine)” represents believers? If she will be saved like we all will be saved one day, why not make a general statement about all believers? I’m pretty su...

@ymmotrojam @Deigratia1985 @ich1ban123456 @kelcy_lowry Because of the grammar…. If she is Eve, then “Eve will be saved (future) if they [do something].” Eve’s salvation cannot be conditioned on something other people do at the time Paul was writing ...

@Deigratia1985 @ich1ban123456 @ymmotrojam @kelcy_lowry This is not a game for me. I still want to know who R.D. James is. Let’s start with explaining 1 Tim 2:15. - Who is the she (singular)? - Who are they (plural)? - What is “the (definite) child...

@graceforprize @3HillsMinor @Rattle_Resists @Kdubtru @michael_ronning I didn't flip, Paul switched to the singular. This should stand out clearly to any Greek reader. Paul is focusing on a specific deceived woman who has left orthodoxy and who is u...

@ymmotrojam Paul's point here is constructing a sort of worst case scenario, that is⎯if the entire church gathers and a large group all speaks in foreign tongues, there will be no way anyone could understand anything. It's one thing if 5 people are ...

@RushiXmakima Thanks for contributing! I agree that at least the way we view pastors today goes beyond what they were in the first churches. Today we seem to desire a charismatic leader, someone who will just tell us what to do, rather than someone...

@3HillsMinor What authority does anyone have in the church? If my pastor says I can’t serve on the choir, I willingly submit what I want to keep the peace, but I don’t obey him because he’s the “authority.” If he says I need to obey this or that in...

@AlvinOchola @MikeWingerii @hashim_warren So pastors only submit to pastors? Eph 5:21 says "and subject yourselves to one another in the fear of Christ." This obviously doesn’t mean be obedient to, but to willingly subject yourself under another. ...

@graceforprize Amen to those scriptures! Because leaders are supposed to convey God’s Word and take responsibility to follow up with people. What is the limit on obedience? What if the leader says something unbiblical or oversteps his bounds? Sur...
