@Deigratia1985 I didn't say I felt that way. I'm reasoning about what mutual submission means (Eph 5:21) and what authority in the church must not mean. Feel free to prove me wrong.

@3HillsMinor Show me one scripture in the entire New Testament that identifies any specific person as a pastor (poimen) other than Jesus Himself. Now tell me again how you know women weren’t pastors

@TeamPapuForever @graceforprize Paul was both an apostle and overseer but not a husband. So this requirement cannot mean “must be married” but rather “if married, must be faithful.” The emphasis is on the “one.” For the same reason it doesn’t requ...

@graceforprize @sympatheticNPC 1 Tim 2:12⎯taken completely out of context⎯can appear clear. Don't skip the hard work of reading in context. No one is supposed to "lord it over" anyone. So if your view of having superior authority over another pers...

@graceforprize Being witnesses to all that Jesus said and did is exactly what the apostles did. They didn’t make up their own doctrine and expect people to follow it. There may be other reasons why Jesus picked all male apostles for the 12. And no...

@ReformedDoc @Guitardo7 @ronhenzel @CherylSchatz @717edu @StevenUllmer @JasonTimerson @Chad4328 You are assuming that Jesus’ sacrifice saves through God’s decision of who to apply salvation to. That’s not how the Bible describes salvation. The only...

@autocorrect2_0 @RealizeYour @markallison I don’t listen to the pastor or speaker because they speak with authority; I listen when they speak words that are faithful to the biblical text. When you witness to someone, do they only listen if you speak...

@Jorsch2R @autocorrect2_0 You are referring to Eph 5:22? The verb subject is in verse 21 and all are to subject themselves to one another. The reason Paul then goes on to refer to the wife is because Paul is dealing with general issues wives are ha...

@Cadogan_Barde @Deigratia1985 @MikeWingerii Yes, that is a reasonable approach. In this case, the text even says that wives have authority over their own head to decide whether or not to cover their head or not. That means covering one’s head is no...

@lostintherye @smashbaals What God said to Eve in Gen 3:16, that Adam would rule over her, was not a command to Adam, but God prophesying to Eve what would change in their relationship as a result of the fall. In His Church, Jesus tears down the div...

@EtAbundatGratia @JayMuratore @MikeWingerii It is eisegesis or confirmation bias to read into Gen 3:16 that she desires to rule her husband. Gen 4:7 is a different context. Sin is not a person, but metaphorically, if sin wants Cain perhaps like a w...
