@heaveniscallin1 @FrMatthewLC 1 Tim 5:9 uses the wording ἑνὸς ἀνδρὸς γυνή (or one husband wife) though not in the context of leadership. When Paul uses "one wife husband" in 1 Tim 3:2,12 and Titus 1:6, I see this as generic of monogomy but I think t...

@godlywomanhood 1 Cor 7:4–6 (NIV): “The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife. Do not deprive each other except p...

@godlywomanhood Ok, but the husband and wife both submit to each other. Submit

@CovenantReform2 @GingerSnapKid Adam is the source of Eve since she was made from his bone and flesh, and so every marriage after this refers back to this original marriage and the husband is called the source of his wife. Paul is not talking about ...

@CovenantReform2 @ReyannaRice @lynna_listens All people are saved the same way and all become “sons” and receive the inheritance of sons. Man is not the ruler over the woman in the church, though, going back to the original marriage, is referred to ...

@CovenantReform2 @ReyannaRice @BogdanOancea77 @lynna_listens 1 Cor 11:3 is referring to the origin of marriage in that the man (ie. Adam) was the source of Eve. Every marriage goes back to the source of the first marriage for its foundation, and so ...

@moniemon84 @Peacemaker811 @anahnemoo 1 Tim 3:1-13 has often been difficult to interpret because male pronouns are inserted in the English translations, so most don't realize the non-specific nature of the language. The only phrase that seems to app...

@joekanyou @AlamoRememberer @RGIII In 1 Cor 11:7, Paul is not saying that a wife is not also the glory of God, but she is both the glory of God and of her husband. Paul is explaining the basis for the tradition of removing head coverings when prayin...

@GodisGreat2022 This is emphasizing source relationships. Paul is helping the Corinthians to understand the reasons behind the traditions he passed down and which they are dutifully following. Because there are some exceptions⎯such as when a wife b...

@EKHyland The saving grace for complementarians is that they believe that the husband is to love his wife as Christ loved the church. So even though it is very easy to get out of balance, it can still work. For that reason, I think we can live in p...

@Ro12Two @barrowboy42 @nickmobrien This is the wrong idea of what it means to be the Biblical 'head' or κεφαλὴ. Marriage always goes back to Eden, and in Eden we see the following: 1. Man came first (that doesn't mean he has authority over the wife ...

@ChristianJComis @BrotherBoaz @PastorMark This is a good point Chris. Most think that “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife” to mean that she told him to eat of the fruit. However, since that is not recorded in the text it may simply...

@DST_QA Yes, when we submit to others, we are looking out for their interests above our own. We set aside what we want and we do what someone else wants. Husbands have a calling to do that too. "I believe that when a man submits to his wife, he is...

@DST_QA This is a prophecy from God spoken to Even, not Adam. If God wanted to communicate to Adam that He should rule over Eve, why didn’t He say it to Adam? And when we rule over creation, we use it for our benefit. Should the wife be used for t...

@pkh7276_pkh @MarkGrote @OperHealAmerica Man is not the authority over or the ruler over the wife, but the “source” or “origin” of the wife. Christ is also the source of His church which is a bride but made up of both males and females. Jesus is sa...

@pkh7276_pkh @MarkGrote @OperHealAmerica I understand that view, but Paul was correcting a problem in the husband wife relationships of those he writes to in the Ephesians letter. The command is “Be filled” and the fruit is described in participles,...

@pauldirks @KaeleyT @CharmyRosewolf It’s tricky to write something comprehensively and concisely that captures everything. Here’s my attempt! The husband uses his gifts to serve his wife (as does the wife to her husband). Christ’s example of setti...

@pauldirks @KaeleyT @CharmyRosewolf Let me ‘splain. It’s that you think the wife is not also to emulate Christ in the way that Ephesians 5 describes of the husband. Perhaps the husband is to go first but the wife treads the same path as it is the s...

@pauldirks @CharmyRosewolf @KaeleyT The husband is a type of Christ but that doesn’t mean that the wife is not also to follow the example of Christ. There is only one Christ, not a female one for females to follow and a male one just for males to fo...

@blitziod @muddymothball @godlywomanhood So if a man divorces his wife and marries another (not another man’s wife, but any other woman) he commits adultery. However, according to you, he doesn’t commit adultery as long as he marries another while s...

@blitziod @muddymothball @godlywomanhood Also, 1 Cor 7:3-4 says the wife has authority over the husband’s body. How does that work when you have two wives? One has to sleep alone for half of their married lives? How does she feel hearing her husba...

@PubliusJosephus @DickSaban1 If the requirement "one wife husband" is the same for both elders and deacons and females can be deacons, then on that basis there is no restriction females cannot be elders. Leadership leads to Christ and His Word; it i...

@DickSaban1 The phrase “one wife husband” repeated for deacons and also in Titus 1 and in 1 Tim 5:9 as “one husband wife” is an idiom for faithful to one’s spouse if married. Paul was not married and advocated for singleness so this cannot mean must...

@outcatching @GlennDavies @danitreweek The English translations insert male pronouns likely because of the phrase "one wife husband" but the passage is not intending to say an elder must not be a woman or must not be single or must have children. Ta...
