@SpecterAndBride @LoammiCB @tigereyes1972 @Brian_Sauve First, the text doesn't say that a woman's long hair is her covering but that hair is given as a substitute for coverings (and both men and women generally have hair). Brian says that verse 6 gr...

@InnovationHQ2 @elijahtmadison @SpecterAndBride @tigereyes1972 Paul is not negating his own teaching on covering because he is advocating for not covering and giving women the freedom to decide what to do. Paul says in verse 6 that "If a woman does ...

@InnovationHQ2 @elijahtmadison @SpecterAndBride @tigereyes1972 Yes, I am following Paul’s flow of thought. Since we will judge angels then we ought to be able to judge trivial matters of this life, such as whether to cover or not cover our heads whe...

@NBidnz I'm not sure I've heard angels referred to as spies before, but you are right that Judiazers especially were infiltrating the churches and trying to bring them under the law (see Galatians). The thing about angels and head coverings is that ...

@PastorRobMonroe @KaeleyT @megbasham Is John the Baptist shamed because he was a nazarite from birth and therefore couldn’t cut his hair like Samson? Even Paul took a Nazarite vow and in numbers both men and women could take the vow. The vow involves...

@KatieWollan2 @ryancduff The question is not why a woman can be a pastor but why she cannot be one. The scripture doesn't forbid women from serving in this capacity. Further, the idea of having a spiritual covering in her husband comes from a misread...

@GetoD6812 @pastherandie Women not serving as leaders is not established BIBLICA

@GetoD6812 @pastherandie Forbidding women completely without any regard for their giftedness, ability and specific teaching is clearly an error and the Orthodox Church has fallen prey to cultural patriarchalism like many others. Saying "but what abo...

@GetoD6812 @pastherandie Just because I believe scripture doesn't forbid godly women from teaching or pastoral ministry doesn't mean that women don't mess up like men. Maybe if men supported women who were gifted and had the desire to serve in this c...

@ronhenzel This is not necessarily true. As an egalitarian, I believe I am following inspired scripture more closely than when I was a comp. That said, if the belief is that the Bible is clearly against women in leadership and one purposely goes aga...

@ronhenzel A creative way of getting around the text. Why is this not an option for married women? Should half the church (if all single women) all line up one by one to speak with an elder after? How inefficient is that? What if the question she ask...

@ronhenzel Women in general or just married women (since they alone have husbands to ask at home)? You must make sense of what the text specifically states. Rather than holding back the spirit, Paul encourages speaking and even interrupting another ...

@thecrazypastor @ronhenzel The only view that makes sense of this text is Paul quoting from the letter from the Corinthians (see 1Co 7:1)⎯this is for the reasons you noted. There is no such law which could ever be reasonably interpreted to suggest th...

@MariusM38610501 @MikeWingerii @kjvchurches I think he is assuming two different offices, one for men and one for women and saying that the female office wasn’t used historically until after the NT. But that’s fallacious as there’s only one office. ...

@lunarCelerity @MikeWingerii Yes. The tendency is to look at clear scriptures which seem to include women even at the highest levels having authority over men, teaching men, etc., but then a few passages later which seem to contradict or have some de...

@JonKismetCalvin @th3muse @MikeWingerii He uses a translation that says "Their wives" instead. I don't think he concludes that v11 is referring to the inclusion of women as deacons, but that this verse speaks about the wives of deacons. His justifica...

@benkrake @MikeWingerii If it is secondary then that means it is a debatable issue and is not a matter of sin. So we need to treat it that way and truly learn to tolerate those we disagree with on debatable matters. Where is a godly women teaching t...
