@dmichaelclary @jdgreear If I understand you correctly… So—if the church is full of African believers, we don’t intentionally bring in a white person to lead. We look around us to find those sound in the faith, mature, with evidenced character and w...

@3GNRTX Rather, this is in the context of Paul leaving Timothy in Ephesus to stop false teachers, deal with the consequences of the false teaching and setup the church to better manage false teaching. That statement wasn’t Paul instructing Timothy t...

@Dayagent47 The only church history that matters is the prescriptive statements made in scripture. The rest is not inspired. You are overlooking why Jesus chose 12 male apostles and presuming it is because women are forbidden. This kind of binary th...

@MegaChurchMouse But if everytime someone corrects you with effective solid Biblical refutations, you treat it as “dissensions and stumblings” then how would you learn if you were wrong? Wouldn’t Paul be talking about something else? What behaviour...

@MegaChurchMouse Right. So then how do we solve this dilemma? Don’t we just have

@MegaChurchMouse Curious you chose a verse in a passage that commends a bunch of female leaders. Question for you: could someone in a Pentecostal church quote the same verse if you try to correct their egalitarian teaching (that they have learned fo...

@MikeWingerii I also find it interesting how those who advocate for male-only leadership in the church label themselves 'complementarians.’ This term suggests inclusion of both due to the complementarity of strengths rather than excluding women. I...

Rather, when men create unbiblical restrictions and use them to bind God’s people, it harms Jesus’ church, causing division and disunity and suppressing the work of the Holy Spirit. Brian, let’s do better than this. Let’s be more Biblical. /5 http...

🧵 It seems @Brian_Sauve has the secret to solve all problems in the church. 🤯 You see, if you have only male leaders, all the problems just go away. 🙄 Brian thinks that if women are part of the team, that requires a “parallel system” to be constru...

@Reformed_Zoomer @j_robert_kirk @MolderAnna26649 @Brian_Sauve Leading her into what? The faith? If she is more spiritual than you, you must lead her? Is that how church leadership is determined? No consideration of gifting or skill, just what’s in on...

@TonyMor52435077 @masonmennenga If we sat down for coffee, I could tell you stories about church behaviour, that of leaders and pastors. Again, my point is not that there are people failing—there are many, but that this is not the basis on which I b...

@coramdeo1 @kdclaunch You get my point? How? I am the one who is taking Paul’s purpose as written, and you are the one who is taking what is not explicit and making something more which is not stated and then taking the poor interpretation of many i...

Kyle forgets that this is a personal letter to Timothy, not a general letter to the church. Paul states expressly that his intent was to leave Timothy behind to stop some from teaching false doctrines. Paul’s intent was not to setup some sort of gend...

@ChristMount777 @JoWiKi Unity of the body is also very important. More important than you getting your way in everything or your own personal comfort. Your church may have only male leaders but cooperating with others that have female leaders means t...

@TarienCole If you call yourself a brother then you are treated like a Christian

@TarienCole Anyone who called themselves a brother was a member of the church and subject to church discipline: "If any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with su...

The main issue I have with membership is that it is different from membership in the body of Christ. When you treat the church as having two classes of people by adding secondary requirements in addition to Jesus’ requirements, churches are being nee...

@FreeAme19691836 The only head of the church is Jesus. It is because men and women are created differently that we need to work together. “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may p...

@pauldirks It's a bit hard to frame it in a single sentence to capture everything carefully and completely, but the idea is that 1Co 5:11-13 has a meaning...unless you think the government is how God punishes sin. In that case, why say anything to th...
