@CivicNatalist @jchasedavis Right, not everyone is a leader. There is considerable variation in complementarian circles. The point being that dividing churches because women occupy a pastoral or elder or overseer role harms the body of Christ. It ...

@RebelDissent @rightresponsem America is not under a theocracy. If two consenting adults do things in their bedroom, you have no right to punish them for it! if they claim to be Christians, the most you can do is remove them from the church. Yes, ...

@NateSchlomann It is the SBC who has gone too far and made a secondary issue into a primary issue to divide over. It should never have been done. The church is Jesus’ body and Jesus cares about unity. When you carelessly divide His body, you cause...

@megbasham The SBC adding secondary matters into its statement of faith (even though done years ago) is causing harm to the body of Christ. The church belongs to Jesus and Jesus cares about unity in His body. When we divide over matters that are no...

@shaneoid77 @MelonieMac Why do non-Christians quote this verse to silence women?

@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...

@rabinahakin Yes, wives should submit to their husbands⎯not as owners or overlords, but as unto the Lord⎯with that same love and affection. But the "submit" is actually in verse 21: "...and subject yourselves to one another in the fear of Christ." ...

@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...
