@sparkobuzzer Personally, when pastors or those advocating strongly for their views block others for disagreeing with them, this IMO is weak. I know people use blocking to manage their feed, but that’

@ladies4pd This is an interesting hypothesis (from the Orthodox Church, I presume), but I don’t see anything in scripture tying kephale with the mind, the intellect, the brain or anything like that. While I might agree with you that the emotions and ...

@Graceful_Boom What does head mean in the Bible? https://t.co/L6ZiusB2LY

@spshaw0bserver That’s an interesting idea, but it seems that head is not used for plants except maybe a head of garlic or heads of grain. Kephale is used for garlic though it refers to all the cloves and which is the source of seeds or new life of t...

@Pastor_Gabe @megbasham What’s wrong with women being included in leadership?

@BronWen727104 @lagracelaverite That’s right! μονογαμικός (monogamikos) is a modern Greek term that didn’t exist in NT times. Paul wasn’t describing a married person but one who promoted monogamy and if married was faithful to one wife. Kind of an i...

@uglygramb @instablog9ja What do you think Paul means by head? Does he mean boss

@ncksmith Complementarians almost all believe that males alone are to be elders, pastors and overseers. Some go further. Some claim that a female elder is apostasy or on the way. That’s where their understanding is severely flawed. And the thinking ...

@ncksmith It means that you are to remember that your wife, while she is from another family, is one flesh with you in marriage. Just as Eve wasn’t created separately from the dust but from Adam’s flesh and bone, so you should see her and treat her a...

@megbasham But the ‘denomination’ which in this case is one of the largest co-op

@aigkenham AI is meant to be a secretary, not a pastor.

No pastor, elder, overseer, apostle, deacon, prophet, or father is ever called head (kephalē) in the NT. If head simply means authority or boss, why is kephalē never used for any leader in the church? Why is a father never called the kephalē of hi...

@DwightsWordOTD Egalitarianism is only a slippery slope if you believe it by rejecting what Paul wrote. I am not rejecting anything Paul wrote. I believe every word and all the grammar is inspired. Denial of Christ the Creator? Since when did I do t...

@megbasham Hm. It seems in this case that some churches believe that their leadership should be only male. Fine. I go to a church like that. But if a church reads the text and draws a different conclusion without rejecting the inspired text, why are ...

@JohnMar98888097 @smashbaals But you take it too far to say God commands the pastor be male. There is no command here, and in Koine Greek, the male form can be used in a generic way of both male and female depending on the context. To clarify, Paul w...

@MarqueStuddock @smashbaals If the levite males led simply because they slaughtered the idolators, then what about Jael who drove a tent peg through Sisera’s head? I’ll read your article and respond separately but you still haven’t shown me where in...

@DennyBurk @TomBuck Baptists have a wide range of things that each church does differently. That’s because baptists are self governed. These differences are not primary which is why they can co-operate. Why do you think you have to force your underst...

@Gates_of_Derry @colinsmo This statement is only in a single verse in a personal letter to Timothy with the purpose of stopping false teaching not the purpose of stopping anyone from teaching truth to anyone. Notice Paul shifts from the plural in v9...

@MarqueStuddock @smashbaals How do you know this exactly? Can you list each of t

@AndrewD82566840 @smashbaals Yes because no pastor is called the head of the church except Christ. The church doesn’t have many heads, only one. A head in scripture and in the contexts we are referring to doesn’t mean the authority over or boss of. I...

@Gates_of_Derry @colinsmo Someone who advocates for plural marriages is clearly doing something that is not promoted in the New Testament. 1Ti 3:2 can’t mean that an overseer must be married (Paul was single) or male but it certainly means monogamous...

@colinsmo Don’t you think your time would be better spent dealing with actually false teaching rather than chasing after which vessel is doing the teaching? So long as a person is of godly and exemplary character and sound in the faith and gifted to ...

@FNANVG @LionofJudah444 @oliverburdick The church obeys Christ…yes. But when it comes to subjection, this is mutual because it’s not about hierarchy. Jesus doesn’t say that He takes authority over His bride—His authority is for her benefit. She sits ...
