@BronWen727104 @danitreweek The NIV translation of 1Co 11:10 is really close to the Greek. A woman should have authority *over her own* head (whether to cover/uncover, cut/shave, etc). The reason Paul gives is “because of the angels.” Now where do we...

@danitreweek This is largely because they see head meaning ‘authority over’ or ‘the boss of’ or ‘responsible for’ language when the Biblical context seems to be using it in the sense of origin, source, perhaps prominent or even first mover. I of cou...

@StothersRyan I didn’t say “not spiritual”— the meme was a last-&gt;first, first-&gt;last reminder. Most guys think that God’s requirement is that they be in authority over their wives. My meme is simply warning these to be careful lest they place t...

@StothersRyan Well let’s explore this a bit maybe. What authority does your past

Yep. Solid patriarchal thought process. 👍 https://t.co/yp2GxcbjLD

@Jack_JC_ @ryancduff No, I’m not suggesting that the wife is the head. I’m merely illustrating by God’s design that even for those who see the head being about the “command centre” of the body, it is divided into two complementary halves. That’s all....

@WellRedneck On the contrary, Mary’s instruction to the servants doesn’t read like ‘relenting.’ It actually shows her confidence that Jesus will do as she requested. If she has the authority or responsibility in the wedding to tell the servants what ...

@WellRedneck A quick response to your last statement, “…the man is the head”— I agree that the husband is the head of his wife. I just don’t believe this has anything to do with being the authority or boss or trump card holder. Now for your response...

@WellRedneck Thanks for sharing some examples. However, I’d argue that your definition of submission (ie. always deferring even when you think the other person is wrong) creates serious problems. Blind deference is exactly what has allowed corrupt g...

@daftpunditry Each believer is placing others as more important than themselves

@King_Brody @LukeBennerE On the latter, have you read the letter to Philemon? Paul doesn’t command Philemon as an apostle but appeals to him in love. His appeal is that, now that Onesimus is a brother in Christ, Philemon should treat him as he would ...
