@KennyBurchard All that proves is that you have fallible humans who are not read

@ronhenzel @WonderingBashir @HwsEleutheroi It's an even bigger pity that you cannot seem to recognize that the translators are interpreting the singular as plural and literally changing the inspired grammar of scripture! These translations⎯like you (...

@ronhenzel @WonderingBashir @HwsEleutheroi It's not the only straightforward way to read the text because your interpretation doesn't make sense of all the details⎯both semantically and contextually. Yes, and thanks for admitting that you are not aw...

@ronhenzel @WonderingBashir @HwsEleutheroi You are lying by saying that "Paul never so much as hints at" since he states "certain people teaching strange doctrines" in 1Ti 1:3. That's at least a hint. And this is not a translation issue⎯it's an inte...

@ronhenzel @WonderingBashir @HwsEleutheroi 1. Your statement doesn't even make sense unless you are saying that you are ignorant of my grammar and semantics. Who cares⎯it's Paul's grammar and semantics anyways. 2. Yes, the nearest anarthrous noun fo...

@ronhenzel @WonderingBashir @HwsEleutheroi This is not a popularity contest. If none of the commentaries identify the option that Eve is symbolic of a specific woman teaching false doctrine and "the woman" of v14, the subject of "but she will be save...

@ronhenzel @WonderingBashir @HwsEleutheroi Now that we are confirming we are back on earth where people study Greek and English syntax and can read in context as authors use syntax to communicate what they want, I believe that the interpretation that...

@ronhenzel @WonderingBashir @HwsEleutheroi You have the anaphoric use of “the woman” and the anaphoric use of “she”. So you have no problem with the anaphoric showing up here. But you refuse to acknowledge one specific anaphoric use as it means Pau...

@ronhenzel @WonderingBashir @HwsEleutheroi Ron, I think this is just confusing. The best way to make everything fit together is to understand a specific woman teaching heresy and Paul linking the situation between this woman and her husband to the f...

@ronhenzel @WonderingBashir @HwsEleutheroi You failed to incorporate the context

@ronhenzel @WonderingBashir @HwsEleutheroi And on what planet does that sound totally straightforward? Your supposedly straightforward reading has Paul conflating plural and singular twice and has Eve’s consequences ongoing after her death. That’s n...

@ronhenzel @WonderingBashir @HwsEleutheroi And where does the Bible ever confirm

@ronhenzel @WonderingBashir @HwsEleutheroi I agree with your comment that the anaphoric reference is semantic and in this case could refer to either Eve in v13 or ‘a woman’ in v11-12 depending on the context. In this case, Paul is tying the specific...

@evaanderberg @dalepartridge How do you know it didn’t exist for the first 1900 years? I go back to the apostles and I believe that women were leaders in the apostolic churches because of the Biblical text. That said, there were churches far longer t...

@ronhenzel @Pastor_Gabe You are completely free to do whatever you wish, Ron.

@ronhenzel @WonderingBashir Oh hi, Ron! Why didn't Paul just say women (plural)? Rather, he says "a woman...a woman...she...the woman...she"⎯the reference is specific, aligned with the purpose of the letter to stop the teaching of strange doctrines ...

@Ryan_Adair_A Yes, I agree this is referring to the seed of the woman, or the messiah. The advantage to the interpretation I shared with you is that it aligns with the purpose of the letter⎯to stop teaching of strange doctrines, and makes sense of w...

@elondeporter @CapturingChrist Martin Luther was so focused on salvation being by faith that he overreacted to James calling it “an epistle of straw” yet he never removed it completely. Similarly with Hebrews, Jude and Revelation—he never removed the...

@ChappyMacc @rightresponsem Or…you could be reading into Jesus’ choice of 12 Jewish male apostles something that was never intended. For instance, who were the disciples that went out 2x2 when He sent out the 70 (or 72 according to Luke)? Nothing exp...
