@quackitude @smashbaals The thing is that I like the term “complementarian” as men and women complement each other. But they add—as a requirement—that a husband is to rule his wife and by extension he

@quackitude @smashbaals The thing is that I like the term “complementarian” as m

@Whatsinaname41 @AVER735 Exactly! But he’s going to then use "Eph 5:24: 'Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.'" Yet he takes this in isolation forgetting the context of mutual submission a...

@JonKismetCalvin Maybe you haven’t been to Eric’s church?

@ReformaBro @JoInAthensGa @smugbuster88 @BenZeisloft Who is saying “did God really say?” Let me ask you this: was Paul disqualifying himself in 1Ti 3:1-13? He said “husband” and referring to managing one’s home with multiple believing children. Paul ...

@Robert_S_Morley @OpenlyReasoned @DST_QA Paul was correcting a wayward female trait local to Ephesus?? So it’s unique to Ephesian married women to ask questions in church (the text doesn’t say they were doing this, it’s a guess)? Why don’t you see P...

@ToFertileChurch @Flyoverland22 That’s a helpful reference, thanks!

@ToFertileChurch @Flyoverland22 I haven’t read Foh. What is the reference?

@Flyoverland22 1Co 14:34-35, 1Co 11:1-16, 1Ti 2:11-15,3:1-13, etc all have reasonable explanations showing how these are not forbidding women or enforcing gender hierarchy or gender roles in church leadership. This is certainly not an issue where one...

@JamesGaius @Whatsinaname41 In the Bible, no one specifically—not even a male⎯is identified as a pastor. Only two are explicitly called an elder and they are self identified—Peter and John. What does it matter what the church did after the NT? Are ...

@DST_QA @Robert_S_Morley It doesn’t say authority “over” the church but authorit

@DST_QA @Robert_S_Morley Context defines meaning. In this context, it seems clear that Christ’s supreme authority over all creation is in view. Eph 1:22 indicates that this authority is exercised for the benefit of the church. This underscores the ch...

Some say that Paul commands women to be silent in the church. But how can he do

@Whitehorse1255 Then why does Paul say he fears the Corinthian church may be dec

@TonyG_in_LV @smashbaals Unfortunately, syncretism has been a danger to the chur

@DaddyRoach The early church in scripture had female preachers, yes. How long that lasted or who rightly interpreted scripture on this but wasn’t included in written history we don’t know. And no, sin was not misunderstood for 2000 years. And it is ...

@LukeJac91044232 I'm not sure I understand. The Bible doesn't contradict itself.

@WhiteHistorian @kirableu @smashbaals Disingenuous? All issues are secondary? You are free to run your church however you see fit when it comes to the secondary issues, but you shouldn't be separating from or not cooperating with others who see thin...

@richstarnes @pastordmack I appreciate your stance, but not everyone feels as yo

@MarnerJoshua Ok, well all the best to you and your church. Just don't treat your brothers and sisters who disagree on this issue as in rebellion to God. It's nowhere listed as a sin in any list of sins and we have women in positions of authority by ...

@happyhomemakerr @DFEACK1 So women will sit with Jesus on His throne but Jesus wants them restricted to never teach or have a place of authority in the church? Sitting with Jesus on His throne is being a judge along with Him. Alongside. Together wit...

@Grump_Old_Man @DBryanRhodes @ronhenzel @Gates_of_Derry @CalebDixonSmith Complementarians exist in quite a range. My last church only prevented women from the lead pastor role. Some prevent women from any leadership role. Others prevent them from ser...

@Grump_Old_Man @DBryanRhodes @ronhenzel @Gates_of_Derry @CalebDixonSmith Jesus’ death and resurrection is what birthed the church. This is mot referring to His authority. BYW, Leon Morris is a complementarian. But he has the ability to acknowledge w...
