@DustyMayT @Torncurtainorg @NateSchlomann You are completely correct. I don't think there is anyway to characterize Deborah as not being the highest "spiritual and otherwise" authority in the land. She heard directly from God and conveyed God's will ...

#SBC's decision to amend in June could oust self-governing, Biblically faithful Baptist churches like FBCA that have had female leaders for 100 years and cooperated with SBC for ages. Putting debatable issues like women in leadership into a statemen...

@DST_QA @Crystalisives If you consider a leader as one who goes before us then yes. If you consider Christ as an authority over His bride, I’d like you to show me where this is stated in scripture. Of course God is our authority and Jesus is God, so ...

@industriousmom4 @InnovationHQ2 @elijahtmadison @SpecterAndBride @tigereyes1972 I think you are reading in our modern understanding of "headship" which means hierarchical authority. Adam was created in time sequence before Eve, but not in hierarchy. ...

@rofbethany 1Co 11:10 says that the woman should have authority on her own head because of the angels. Paul already spoke about what this has to do with in 1Co 6:2-3: “Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? If the world is judged b...

@PastorRobMonroe @KaeleyT @megbasham Rob, the fact that the culture is confused may in fact be a result of the church being so hard nosed on gender-based restrictions. Think about it, if a girl understands that she can never be a leader because some ...

@PastorRobMonroe @KaeleyT @megbasham The idea of gender-roles is not something that the Bible introduces. The differences are what make mixed male-female leadership teams more effective. Women think differently and men tend to get stuck in linear thi...

@PastorRobMonroe @KaeleyT @megbasham These are differences of bodily functions and no one is suggesting that a father should become a mother or a mother should become a father. We are simply asserting that there are no Biblical restrictions on leade...

@GetoD6812 @pastherandie Women not serving as leaders is not established BIBLICA

@GetoD6812 @pastherandie Deborah was the authority of God over an entire nation by God's own will (just like Samuel was). Therefore, a woman in a position of authority is not a sin as you assume. Your simple assumptions are clearly wrong, but it seem...

@Dasugo @m_james76997 @MikeWingerii Anyone who is able and in a place where they have the power/ability to help. A male who isn't a father is can help too, right? These passages are mostly about those who are judges and in places of authority who are...

@PeterThreshwood @Almsivi7 Headship doesn’t mean authority over in this context.

@The_Sig_ You are importing a modern understand of what “head” means in the English. You have to investigate to understand what Paul means by using this term in context. Since both Jesus and the Father are the uncreated creator, there is no sense in ...

@ronhenzel @carol66944 There’s no slippery slope here as I’m merely rejecting a doctrine created by man. The idea of gender hierarchy of authority is not the teaching of the New Testament. Even in the OT, there was no sense that obeying a woman in a ...

@ronhenzel This is not necessarily true. As an egalitarian, I believe I am following inspired scripture more closely than when I was a comp. That said, if the belief is that the Bible is clearly against women in leadership and one purposely goes aga...

The Bible nowhere argues that the authority that parents have over children extends into adulthood. Gen 2:24 clearly shows that a man leaves his mother and father and cleaves to his wife showing that there is a clear break from parental authority and...

@ymmotrojam @CherylSchatz @th3muse Of course you have to say this if you don’t accept females as deacons. The facts are: - Paul uses the feminine διάκονον - Paul is commending her to the church she is moving to as a leader - She is to be received as...

@lunarCelerity @MikeWingerii Yes. The tendency is to look at clear scriptures which seem to include women even at the highest levels having authority over men, teaching men, etc., but then a few passages later which seem to contradict or have some de...
