@ronhenzel Hi Ron, thanks for taking the time to reply. Is there any reason why you didn't address Luke 12:12 in my response to you? Is the Holy Spirit's teaching impersonal? No, it's personal to eac

@ronhenzel Paul doesn’t indicate Junia had teaching authority? The list of those explicitly stated to have “teaching authority” would seem to be pretty small. I don’t think Paul even said Priscilla ha

@ronhenzel @TWFtrish @NBidnz Remind me again—what exactly does an “authoritative

@ronhenzel Why do complementarians keep asserting that this is all about "authoritative teaching"? Please, help⎯what precisely is this authoritative teaching that only men can speak in the church? Is this something extra-Biblical like what car I sho...

@will_servant This is true. Though this letter is Paul describing how HE should act (1 Tim 3:15), so even then it’s not quite what they think. This is about Paul instructing Timothy on how to ensure the false teaching is properly dealt with which inc...

@BasteGhost @wtfcali_ @TheOnlyDSC @AmandaTylerBJC What makes your opinion relevant? And why did you skip v15? If you cannot explain that verse which is Paul's concluding summary of this passage, then what makes you think you understand the rest? God...

@terryne02461221 @Vestwitt @HwsEleutheroi Ah, I see. So it’s only the Watchtower “scholars” who are scholars. Now you are being clear. As long as you continue to trust in the faulty scholarship of the Watchtower, you will continue in false teachings...

@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 ...

@BasedTorba @AmandaTylerBJC People like you keep using this verse completely out

@terryne02461221 @Vestwitt @HwsEleutheroi However, this does conflict with the Watchtower’s teaching that when Jesus died He ceased to exist. Being remembered by someone isn’t existence because there is no consciousness. And even others remember unri...

@JeremyMBauman @MikeWingerii @DoctrinesofRad Sometimes I get confused with how each complementarian limits women in leadership. So Mike is fully ok with a woman preaching and teaching on Sunday morning so long as she’s not called an elder or pastor? ...

@JeremyMBauman @MikeWingerii @DoctrinesofRad A godly woman shepherding, preaching and teaching is not a sin. It’s not listed in any list of sins anywhere. When this gets labeled a sin, it causes division which is completely unnecessary b/c it’s not ...

This is precisely the problem. A godly woman teaching true doctrine is *not* s

@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...

@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...

@JollyStine @ronhenzel The thing is we don’t know much about what Alexander and Hymenaeus were teaching, just that it was very serious. In 2 Tim 2:17-18, Hymenaeus is mentioned again, this time with Philetus, and it is specified that they have “wand...

@cjonesaudio @MsLemon42 @paulogia0 Was I not very clear? For a Christian, the purpose of life is to love and serve God, follow Jesus Christ's teachings, spread the faith, and grow spiritually, all while enjoying God's blessings, fostering meaningful...

@JollyStine @ronhenzel I agree with a lot of what you are writing, but I don't think this is about withholding sex or that it is necessarily the teaching of Hymenaeus and Alexander. Tasking a young single pastor like Timothy to tell married women to...

@ronhenzel @johnnylately Ok, so in the churches Paul and the apostles oversaw, women were teaching and pastoring along with men, then there were 19 centuries of suppression of women, and we have finally now realized our error and are correcting back ...

@Son_of_James_ @DoctrinesofRad @MikeWingerii @pastherandie No, I have no problem teaching solely from the book of 1 Timothy and proving that what you just stated is a foreign idea complementarians and patriachalists are inserting into this text. See ...

@TBush1689 @pastherandie @Ashwin_Vengayil @TimothyMHurst @DaxEverts @DoctrinesofRad @MikeWingerii This is a particularly sticky situation. Timothy is being asked by Paul to intervene to stop a wife from teaching false auction when her husband who is ...

@stablecross @ronhenzel The issue is that her husband is not deceived and knows better but is not doing anything about his unsaved wife teaching false doctrine to the church. This would have been a very difficult situation for the young single Timoth...

@the_blind_guide @ronhenzel This is correct. Not only that, but this passage is probably one of the most misused scriptures totally taken out of context. Paul is writing a personal letter to Timothy instructing him to stop "certain people" from teach...

@ronhenzel How about this one, Ron⎯God says one of the things He hates is spreading strife amongst brothers. Do you think that inferring that women teaching mean may be sin or rebellion against God's Word might cause strife and division? Something ...

@ronhenzel Yes the truth of the *gospel* divides. And sin divides. But failure to read Paul in context has you believing that not only was he writing to Timothy to stop FALSE teachers but also to stop godly women from teaching the truth? Doesn’t that...

Complementarians: Your MEN are being discriminated against! 👉Women get to receive the teaching gifts of the Holy Spirit through both men and women, but the men are only allowed to receive from other men. 😡You should be outraged! Why is God so pre...

@KimberleeJayneW @will_servant Then why does He gift women with teaching, preach

@KimberleeJayneW @will_servant The way that they are the same is that skin color and your sex are things you are born with and can’t change. These immutable characteristics are not things that prevent someone from leading, teaching, or whatever task ...

@cbankston7 @BeckyBeefJerky I wonder if it’s because it would encourage someone to disobey the bible by letting them stay and listen. What if the man entering believes it’s ok for him to learn from a woman teaching true things? I guess if she didn’t ...

@pauldirks Interesting! So a man can only be blessed by a woman teacher if he believes 1 Tim 2:12 doesn’t refer to women teaching true doctrine and doesn’t think that teaching him means taking authority over him. Is that an accurate statement? But so...

@shawnRwillson So do you think that also shouldn’t apply if a woman is speaking

@laurel_prolife I don’t disagree with you, and it’s good to see you observing from actions to help understand what is written. But then how do you parse 1 Tim 2:12? It’s a pity Paul wasn’t more clear by using pastor or shepherd in this verse because ...

@freedom4alltime Ok, it’s not like it cannot work either way. But the ones who still to gendered roles should not consider the ones who don’t to be in sin or weak or rebellious. That’s all. And I’d prefer to go back to the Apostles’ teaching and not ...
