@LutheranLifter Crystal clear there’s a hierarchy? Not sure what you’re smoking but it’s clouding your vision. Paul says "For man does not originate from woman, but woman from man"⎯Paul is giving the reason why a married woman has two "heads" or sou...

@frankly_will @LutheranLifter It was the Apostle Paul in his personal letter addressed to Timothy urging him to remain in Ephesus so that he could instruct "certain people" to not teach "strange doctrines" (1Ti 1:3). He wrote so that Timothy would "k...

@powerisnotmine @joyklaprade Causing any division⎯if it is unnecessary (which means it is related to primary issues)⎯harms the body. Are you the kind of person that is into cutting off healthy body parts? Excluding churches over secondary disagreem...

@Alicia_Bittle_ You sound like you are referring to the church. Such focus on one specific person aside from Christ Himself, no matter how righteous you think they are, is not good. Mary is equal to any faithful believer. Hailing someone is calling ...

@pbcmike98 @Guitardo7 @tchadwinder I prefer to say that there is nothing saying Adam’s *guilt* is imputed and there are scriptures explicitly saying that God does not pass on the guilt from the fathers to the sons (Ezekiel 18). What is passed on is ...

@StothersRyan I appreciate your demeanour on this topic. Here’s another statement from Jesus similar to the one from John the Baptist: “Jesus answered, ‘You would have no authority over Me, unless it had been given you from above; for this reason h...

@StothersRyan @Maheshburad1 The problem with Witherington’s assumption is that this passage is about authority of one person over another in worship. It is not. I challenge you to interpret v10. The NASB has “symbol of” but this is not in the Greek. ...

@Dan_NY_Giants As soon as you assume this is about authority, you have a problem. But it’s not about authority. It’s about “standing under” the other, even children, lifting them up to do what’s best for them. You trade your own personal desires to s...

@ymmotrojam @ronhenzel Hi Tom. She’s not imaginary. Paul’s not naming her as a way of showing grace 1Ti 1:13 (he names and marks those who teach false doctrines with knowledge, 1Ti 1:19-20). Because it’s a personal letter to Timothy, what Paul said ...

@Nico_Aurelio_ @LilaGraceRose The sex of the preacher is not an issue for Paul. What is an issue is false teaching and whether the person is mature, sound in the faith and lives according to the faith (is godly). The purpose of Paul writing his lette...

@Jason93044787 @LynnCDell2 @ronhenzel Jason's expert assessment of me: 1. empty 2. prideful 3. foolish 4. worthy of roasting 5. is ignorant of Greek 6. eisegetes texts 7. swallower of 🐪 8. doesn’t read with understanding 9. misrepresents texts 10. f...

@LynnCDell2 @ronhenzel No person whether male or female is considered one of the 12 foundational Apostles upon which the church is built. Apostles after the 12 were those sent out to plant churches like Barnabas. An elder is just a deacon who serve...

@PrayTh3Rosary @LilaGraceRose The church fathers were not I fallible interpreters of scripture. While we can learn from what they wrote and consider their reasons if they provide them, we have to always point back to scripture as the authority. Unfor...

@Jason93044787 @LynnCDell2 @ronhenzel I am the one doing the hard work already i

@REF0RMEDBAPTIST @ronhenzel An unfortunate gymnastics boo boo, but has nothing to do with my exegesis of 1Ti 3:15. As you may be aware, often in debates, after each person presents, it can appear like the one who just presented is correct. "The fir...

@Jason93044787 @LynnCDell2 @ronhenzel You are certainly free to call me empty, p

@LynnCDell2 @ronhenzel Whatever the case, if the teaching is Biblical, then all⎯including the men, including the apostles⎯all must submit. If it unbiblical, then no matter what authority the person thinks they have, you are not required to submit (ie...

@ronhenzel @_JustWriting @TomBuck @DaveSmith2019 Thanks, Ron. Pay attention to w

@ronhenzel @LynnCDell2 So it’s not about rotten apples, tigers or pennies—all things Ron uses to distract you from how *Paul* is using this anarthrous in his personal letter to Timothy. And Ron knows full well that Paul *can* use it to refer to someo...

@ronhenzel @LynnCDell2 Since this is a personal letter to Timothy, Paul is able to be more discreet and yet Timothy will understand who it is that he needs to deal with. No where does Paul infer explicitly or implicitly that the problem is some teach...

@ronhenzel @LynnCDell2 Of course, you are not saying that Paul cannot use “a woman” to be referring to a specific woman, right? Because pennies, tigers and rotten apples have nothing to do with the context of this passage, Paul’s stated purpose in wr...

@ronhenzel In Luke 12:12, we have a similar construction where the subject is using a second person pronoun and the δεῖ is 3rd person singular. The Holy Spirit's teaching is not impersonal⎯it is meant for the person(s) and the specific situation they...

@ronhenzel Hi Ron, thanks for taking the time to reply. Is there any reason why

@ronhenzel @TWFtrish @NBidnz Ok. But every single believer already has the authority given by Christ himself to teach all nations everything that Jesus commanded and taught his disciples. Perhaps you mean that a person is recognized as sound in the ...

@ronhenzel I see. Appealing to authority are we? While I appreciate that much training and accreditation should mean they have good reasoning, but this is not always the case. I would much rather see their reasons listed so I can evaluate them, then ...

@ronhenzel It's only ambiguous if you ignore the texts which provide evidence ab

@ronhenzel However, among clarifies that they are outstanding among the apostles

@ronhenzel Thanks for the history lesson. Disqualifying every movement that allowed women in leadership is important for you it seems. It doesn’t bother me because my argument isn’t based on history but on the Bible itself. Because history is not ou...

@Lazicus520 @VoterTrump2024 @smashbaals Yes, these men are listed as origins of peoples. But they are not listed as controllers or autocrats where the buck always stops. It seems the only reason in your mind for a man being selected as the origin poi...

@ryancduff He misses Paul’s reason for writing what he did to Timothy. He doesn’t seem to recognize that since Paul mentions Eve in this context that he is referring to how God said humanity would be saved through the seed of the woman. So too this d...

@terryne02461221 @Vestwitt @HwsEleutheroi The only thing that contradicts the Word is the Watchtower. If you trusted the Word alone you would believe as I believe. Instead you believe an organization and their teachings, an organization who doesn’t ...

@terryne02461221 @Vestwitt @HwsEleutheroi I believe what scripture says about Jesus. John 1:1,14 - "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God... *And the Word became flesh* and dwelt among us, and we have seen hi...

@AlexioBasinium @jold_92 @BasedTorba @AmandaTylerBJC So your view is that there is no view? Enjoy sawing off the log you are sitting on. In order to continue a conversation, you at least have to have the reasonableness that we look at scripture and ...

@KimberleeJayneW @MikeWingerii @DoctrinesofRad Each Sunday at our church, there is a time at the end of the message where there is a mic and we wait to see what God will say through others. We put up a slide giving the “structure” based on 1 Cor 14; ...

@Salty_Simonson However, if all she is doing is reading and explaining scripture

@ronhenzel @TWFtrish @SindlandOz34748 @NBidnz It has been clearly demonstrated given Priscilla teaching Apollos. And a reading that makes sense of the grammar, the specific purpose of this personal letter to Timothy and the contextual details like s...

@JohnsonJeffro @RationalMale Maybe start by reading 1 Tim 2:12 in context. https

@ronhenzel @JollyStine In 1 Tim 2:8, Paul is clearly inferring that there is something resulting in anger and dispute. Given the context of the letter, it seems more than reasonable that Paul’s instruction to Timothy relates to dealing with the false...

@eXnihilO_ @ronhenzel So I’m saying that this is a secondary issue and that egalitarians have valid exegetical reasons for women serving along with men in leadership. Some on the other side say that egalitarians are in sin and call people to leave eg...

@lyn_kidson @JollyStine @ronhenzel Do we need Augustine when we have 1 Cor 7? 1 Cor 7:3-5 “The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the...

@Zlacher88 Yeah it tells me that he doesn’t agree with my conclusion, not that h

@Son_of_James_ @DoctrinesofRad @MikeWingerii @pastherandie Thanks for saying that! This is a step in the right direction. I don't expect you to become egalitarian, but if you have a respect for the opposing view and that it has solid consistent argum...

@TBush1689 @pastherandie @TimothyMHurst @Ashwin_Vengayil @DaxEverts @DoctrinesofRad @MikeWingerii Tim, its a letter from Paul to Timothy... it's literally in the text... “Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Savio...
