@GlennDavies @outcatching @danitreweek Both forms are used so I summarized as “faithful to one’s spouse”. 1 Tim 3:2,12; Tit 1:6 is the husband form and 1 Tim 5:9 the wife form. The “he’s” are following the default but the male pronoun isn’t there. ...

@outcatching @TomBuck 1 Corinthians 9:5 (NASB 2020): Do we not have a right to take along a believing wife, even as the rest of the apostles and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas? This is the only reference we have on this but it suggests the ot...

@outcatching @TomBuck Firstly, all believers are priests already. You are right to think that leadership requires mature examples, but 1 Tim 3:2 says literally “one wife husband” which doesn’t mean married (Paul isn’t married) but faithful if marrie...

@uncledando @ChristChurchTe1 @TomBuck “A man will often know much less than his wife” - Interesting you admit this. “…this has nothing to do with his authority.” - Well, yes, if God gave the man authority over his wife then her knowledge would have ...

@uncledando @ChristChurchTe1 @TomBuck You are right in that the husband is the kephale of his wife (since marriage always refers back to the first marriage). The problem is that you presume kephale means authority over or rule over. It means source...

@ChristChurchTe1 @uncledando @TomBuck No, but this statement is: 1. Post fall 2.

@uncledando @TomBuck "Another spirit is working in you"⎯people said this to Jesus too. You should really avoid going here just because we disagree on a secondary matter. Please define for me what "husband/wife distinction" means to you? Sarah resp...

@uncledando @ChristChurchTe1 @TomBuck So where does that leave single women? I have a feeling we have a totally different idea of what leading means. Both the husband and the wife lead in different ways and different times. It is a mutual leadersh...

@uncledando @TomBuck Well, surely it's at least self aware. Perhaps you are suggesting the transgender community is trying to end any distinction in male/female. Granted. But also you didn't define what you meant by "husband/wife distinction" ⎯ I ...

@uncledando @ChristChurchTe1 @TomBuck Why would you say that? I don’t “hate God

@ChrisHohnholz Except 1 Tim 2:11 says "a woman" not "women" and verse 15 says "she (singular) will be saved through the (definite) childbearing (noun) if they (the wife and husband that Paul was referring to)". One would expect verse 14 to say "but ...

@MikeWingerii As an egalitarian, I agree with points #1-4. I take issue with #5 because it says there is an inherent hierarchy and authority structure between the husband and wife and between males and females in the church. That said, if you do a ...

@MikeWingerii But part of being a man does not mean being the authority over you

@LauraRicha42528 @_nomadic_soul @DrFrankTurek The only connection with God’s order was deception. At least that’s how Paul parses Gen 1-3 in 1 Tim 2:11-15. It’s not about authority. It’s about a man who had been given knowledge completely failing ...

@SBC_JumpingWorm @PastorSJCamp @Ken_FiveSolas @alexojeda78 @JustinPetersMin V12 also says deacons must be “one wife husband” so why do you think women can be deacons but not elders? My reading is the requirements for deacons and elders is the same e...

@akorb034 @DeanWar72224151 @scottspeig @TomBuck Actually, the verse says "one wife (genitive) husband (accusative)"⎯it is using the default male description, but no male pronouns are used. v1 says "if anyone" (gr. τις). It doesn't say "an elder must...

@Thygar @AngelaGraceLOU @L_T_Pearson @JustinPetersMin It’s in that order in the Greek in 5 out of 6 instances. The one where it isn’t is a Greeting in 1 Cor 16:19. It just seems odd to list the wife before the husband. Since the hypothesis is that...

@LittleOlMe97 @_nomadic_soul @Protestia Having a parent present especially in the early years is very important. My wife and I did shift work to accommodate this so we both had experience taking care of the kids and were able to avoid using childcar...

@PaineInTheNeck @foxes_on_fire @AmReformer 1/ Let me get this straight. This passage clearly says “husband of one wife” but you say and elder doesn’t have to be married. It says clearly “one who manages his house” and “keeps his children under cont...

@PaineInTheNeck @foxes_on_fire @AmReformer I am not denying Paul uses the words “husband” and “wife” yet you seem to understand that it doesn’t require marriage. You probably also agree that an elder doesn’t have to have children even though that is...

@ball_dummy @zechariah1680 @thebereanmillen What explicit instruction says "An elder must not be a woman"? In 1 Tim 3 you have "one wife husband" but this is simply monogamous. Paul wasn't married and surely he met his own requirements. Then later...

@ball_dummy @zechariah1680 @thebereanmillen The question was why would you have

@ymmotrojam @brmorris @CherylSchatz Since marriage is always based on its its inauguration in Genesis, we always go back to that. This is not to say that the wife literally comes from her husband today (that’s what vs 11-12 are pointing out). We ar...

@LauralovsJesus @cpa_dallas @HwsEleutheroi If “anyone” (Greek ‘tis’) desires to be an overseer (feminine), they desire a good thing. An overseer (masculine)… The phrase “husband of one wife” is literally “one woman husband” just like it says “one m...

@LauralovsJesus @cpa_dallas @HwsEleutheroi My wife felt relieved that she didn’t have the responsibility to lead in the home, but I showed her from scripture that we both have that responsibility. She was abdicating her God given responsibility. Sh...

@LauralovsJesus @cpa_dallas @HwsEleutheroi Where does scripture say that man (I take it every man) will answer to God for yielding his ordained position over to women? You mean if I let my wife participate so we make decisions together, God will hol...

@LauralovsJesus @cpa_dallas @HwsEleutheroi The reason is given as 1/ Adam was formed first and 2/ Adam was not deceived but Eve was (though he was beside her). So the order and deception are related. This couple in Ephesus had a similar situation, ...

One of the key differences between an egalitarian and a patriarchal marriage is in the area of authority and will. In a patriarchal marriage, the man is set up as the final decision maker of the home and he is given the right to make a decision for his wife even if it overrules her will
