@Tomasdearc @colinsmo I don’t know the specifics of this church. But the SBC kicked out a number of churches so they may have seen the sign 🪧 on the wall “Not Welcome” and decided to leave before the

@aleciajonesnow @fat_brownie @goteamcarr The vast majority of those who go to seminary don't know what this means: "Where two or three are gathered, there I am in their midst." No one is said to "authentein" anyone. Is a man supposed to be an autho...

@BaptistHoldout @aleciajonesnow @goteamcarr I do think this issue is harder to argue with conservatives because of this. However, you don't solve that problem by going patriarchal or by going woke. You just keep preaching the truth. We are not tal...

@fat_brownie @aleciajonesnow @goteamcarr Acts 1:12? Huh? You’ve lost me…we were talking about 1 Tim 2:11-15. Is Acts 1:12 a difficult saying? Or are you saying there are no difficult sayings in scripture?? 2 Peter 3:16 (NIV): “He writes the same...

@fat_brownie @aleciajonesnow @goteamcarr It’s not super secret. It’s just hard because we are 2000 years later and this is a letter from Paul to Timothy (so they both know what is being talked about), Paul’s grammar is very specific, and he is not n...

@Bob_LeeIII @ortrails @goteamcarr Peter admits that Paul writes some things that are hard to understand. I’m not saying “I don’t feel like Paul means” women are subjugated under men, I’m saying I read the fine details and think I now know what he me...

@Beemer251 @Furly43974976 @_nomadic_soul If I could rephrase this, I would have noted that I was thinking of random people online vs those in your local church. So many random comments are made online that I don’t really take them seriously. They d...

@DickSaban1 @AlamoRememberer @RGIII There’s a few that have the same take but not many that put it all together this way. So I could quote commentaries for specific points but not one that gets it all…at least not one I know of yet. I quote Bellevi...

@granato50 @TaylorRMarshall Wow, now quoting scripture is heresy! Where's that

@gray_jedi_ @_nomadic_soul If you know someone in your fellowship thinks you are a false believer, that would be hard. I experienced this too. Even Paul talks about being in danger from 'false brethren' so it is not unexpected that this can happen....

@TakTik227f1 @Genichiro42069 @KaitlynSchiess That’s not true. &gt; In 1 Cor 14:34-35 Paul is quoting from the letter from the Corinthians (ref 1 Cor 7:1) and refuting the idea that women must be silent and not actively participate. &gt; In 1 Tim 2:11...

@pauldirks @KaeleyT @CatholicABear The way you are phrasing your question—and what I know you believe about gender role linkages—leads me to believe you are asking whether men can replace a mother in child-rearing. I don’t think they can ever replac...

@AntGrayLiving @skolvikings @KPalms21 @farmingandJesus Many people and cults can say that about many passages. The only way to know whether my interpretation is correct is to test it against the scripture. I’ve worked to take all details in the rel...

@RenOfMen @Rach4Patriarchy @KnowlandKnows Scripture is not explicit about pastors being male only. Paul is dealing with a specific situation in Ephesus that he and Timothy whom he wrote his letter to would know about. It was not someone to name yet...

@PastorMark Except the Bible says in 1 Tim 2 that Adam was not deceived though we know from Gen 3 that he was right beside her. Adam knew that the serpent’s words were a lie but did nothing about it. To whom much is given (ie. Adam saw God create a...

@pkh7276_pkh @MarkGrote @OperHealAmerica It doesn’t need to say that here. If everyone submits to everyone, then we know that Eph 5 cannot be encouraging one to rule over the other or a gender hierarchy. Everything goes back to Genesis, and there w...

@PastorMark If you didn’t save yourself, know that the same faith that resulted

In Ephesians 2:8, the Greek neuter term 'δῶρον' (gift) aligns in gender with 'ἔλεος' (mercy) from v4, not with 'πίστις' (faith) or 'χάρις' (grace). Considering Paul's complex sentences, could many be wrong about this well known verse and 'it is a gif...

@BogdanOancea77 @Hansronsdorf However, for one to prophesy but not be able to teach is very strange indeed. Prophesy is not always future telling but also explaining God’s word. In v36 the “you” is plural masculine. How would one know that Paul is...

@KaeleyT @pauldirks @CharmyRosewolf I know Paul and although I disagree with him

@IssacharsNexus @JohnMoo26668690 In Genesis 1:26-28, the rulership over creation is given to them both. “Let them rule”. “Multiply,” “subdue” and “rule” are all in the plural form. Nothing of this is stated in chapter 2. God nowhere says that Ada...

@JohnMoo26668690 @WillEhrendreich @ElizabethOstli1 My conclusions align with scholars like Dr. Craig Keener, Dr. Nijay Gupta, Dr. Gordon Fee, etc. I know many complementarians who disagree with me but do not call me a false teacher. And all of us h...

@JohnMoo26668690 I don’t know where you are getting your assumptions from. 1. I don’t think males should act like females or females like males. Confusing the genders by cross dressing is forbidden by scripture (Deut 22:5 “A women must not wear men...

@JohnMoo26668690 That’s rediculous and completely false. Why would you fight ag

@JohnMoo26668690 @ElizabethOstli1 @WillEhrendreich Nowhere in Genesis 1-3 do we see any of the persons present acting as if they are aware of an authority hierarchy. God didn't tell Adam he had authority over Eve. Eve didn't behave like she underst...

@PubliusJosephus @DickSaban1 Paul nowhere says that Phoebe is an exception, so we have to consider whether our understanding of what Paul was intending in 1 Tim 3 and Titus 1 is correct. Further, it's not just Phoebe we have to consider, but even mo...

@outcatching @GlennDavies @danitreweek Yes, we are all servants, but not all hold the office of deacon. Same word, whether it’s the office or just service depends on the context. Scripture nowhere contradicts itself. I completely agree. Paul writ...

@uncledando @ChristChurchTe1 @TomBuck Like Peter acknowledges, “He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort…” (...

@uncledando @ChristChurchTe1 @TomBuck “You can demonstrate that you’re being honest by dealing with a single point that’s made.” - Ok. “When I’m talking with people I never assume I’m being honest.” - (scratching head) “The Pharisees thought they w...

@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 ...

@prot_zoomer @ErnestVanceJr @TomBuck So the next verses apply to the church? How would Moses’ audience have known this? Deuteronomy 30:7–10 (NIV): 7 The Lord your God will put all these curses on your enemies who hate and persecute you. 8 You will ...

@AJG797 @TomBuck I understand the importance of Paul's reference to this prototypical couple in this personal letter to Timothy as he writes of a situation which is known to both himself and Timothy. Men are deceived all the time. But why was Adam ...

@ekkiet @ChrisHohnholz That’s correct. The idea being that she is deceived and so Paul is preserving her dignity until Timothy has a chance to deal with her. It’s a personal letter from Paul to Timothy so Timothy would know. This interpretation ma...

@ChrisHohnholz You make good points here. And clearly men can be deceived and women can rebel against what they know. However, there is no evidence of authority or leadership in the original creation. Yes, God's sovereign will was to create the ma...
