@carol66944 @5pur5y I don’t understand how you connect scripture like that. That Adam would rule was spoken to Eve and wasn’t an imperative and was a consequence of the fall. That God rules is a given. His humbling Himself to take on flesh and subje...

@Paula_333 The word didaskein (ie. to teach) is there, but why do you think it has to do with teaching truth when the letter was about stopping false teaching? Also, authentein doesn't mean authority in a good sense. That word is extremely rare and ...

@Crystalisives I like to frame it as 'authority over' because that accurately de

@The_War_Within_ @MikeWingerii That's cute. There are false prophets in the NT and no one stones a single one, so obviously something is different in the NT. We are told to mark and avoid those who cause dissensions and hindrances contrary to the te...

@Paula_333 Also, that 1Ti 2:12-14 applies to teaching in the church isn't what is being stated. Paul is writing Timothy to deal with strange (ie. false) teaching, not to stop the teaching of truth by anyone. Nowhere is 'authentein' being used positiv...

This is such a crazy response! Is this how patriarchalists think? https://t.co/4

@cb75075 @Rach4Patriarchy I’m not using edge cases. What edge cases? I work with a number of women Jn engineering who are fully qualified and capable. Some are better than 99% of the men. I support Israel’s egalitarianism. Why would I want women to ...

@thebrighttunnel @Rach4Patriarchy No, that is completely false. Paul nowhere forbids women from serving as elders! 1Ti 3 uses masculine forms in the grammar but in Koine Greek, the male form can be used when intending either men or women. And Is 3:...

@LiamHarperBlack @autocorrect2_0 How nice of you. It depends on several factors:

@LamoralOfEgmont @CoreyJMahler Paul’s comments in Rom 11 were after the coming of the Messiah. Paul didn’t curse the Jews like you. He treated them preferentially concerning the preaching of the gospel and when they refused to believe he prayed for t...

@thebrighttunnel @Rach4Patriarchy I am not conflating anything. I never said women were stronger than men in general. And conserving the actual Biblical intention should be considered true conservatism. Tell me please: were women equally saved befor...

@Rach4Patriarchy I’m egalitarian and conservative. Do those categories co-exist

@EricisAmerican @Protestia Also, the passages you listed about the requirements for elders do not say that an elder must not be a woman. The fact that they both use an idiom, directly translated ‘one woman man’ or ‘one wife husband’ is an idiom. When...

@EricisAmerican @Protestia But you said “further, there is no New Testament mention of any woman being a pastor” ⎯ but there is no one, not even a man, who is called pastor (poimen) in the NT except Christ. And no one is called elder except Peter and...

@BronWen727104 @autocorrect2_0 Yes, @autocorrect2_0, I agree—its not a pass for a husband to not obey Christ. I noted this only because of your wording which suggests conditional submission. Oh, and I believe that the husband also submits to his wif...

@ThePastorBurris @Protestia What is it that is so disgusting?

@JosiahHuggins1 @subq You’re treating the meme like it was trying to quote Scripture word-for-word, but it’s a parable. It’s a compressed, satirical illustration to expose the logical flow of Calvinist thought. It wasn’t intended to be a transcript. ...

@JonByers186054 @ssiena017 @dalepartridge @GracefilledWomb I never said I reject all authority, just that God never intended that a husband be in authority over his wife. And yes, Jesus⎯though also the God of the universe⎯as the man treats the churc...

@MackDonahue Hang on⎯I'm not asking Mike to repent of his complementarian teaching. Therein lies the difference. I am currently part of a complementarian church! I know how to get along with those I disagree with!! I'm asking him to retract his divi...

@darylsterk Paul’s letter to Timothy is explicitly to stop strange doctrines clouding the gospel of salvation which is by faith from spreading at the church in Ephesus. While it is certainly possible that more is going on here as you describe, I am n...

@darylsterk In Wisdom of Solomon 12:6, authentas is used (the accusative plural noun form), whereas in 1Ti 2:12, authentein is a present active infinitive verb form. They are related, and I do agree with you that there is a sense of murder here which...

@darylsterk I agree—authentein, especially used in its verb form, is extremely r

@darylsterk Sorry, I just saw this now. There are certainly false teachings and myths that were coming in. Paul’s explicitly statements suggest Jewish myths: “…myths and endless genealogies, which give rise to useless speculation rather than advanc...

@JoeAdrian256 @iheartJ37 @MikeWingerii No, you cannot interpret them any way you want. The context *always* determines meaning. But one must recognize that establishing a doctrine on a hapax logomena is not a good idea. In this case, the English tran...
