@Crystalisives @covapologetics Frankly, I don’t know anyone who feels confident about their view of 1Ti 2:15! All patriarchalists and complementarians I have heard from seem to believe that Eph 5:21

@covapologetics Why are you saying I think being a ‘husband’ is irrelevant? I said that Paul’s idiom describes faithful if married and monogamous. You can be monogamous even if you are not married as

I’m merely suggesting that in order to clearly restrict elders to only males, the text should explicitly exclude women which it doesn’t. 1Ti 3:11 says “Women likewise…”—Even if we presume v1-10 is for males, this statement shows the same requirement...

Paul acts as a bishop over multiple churches, writing them letters (multiple in several cases) and gets involved in everything a pastor would do. And the fact that you admit the apostle Peter is also

You are at least consistent that you see the following requirements: - male - married (cannot be single or even a widower!) - must have more than one child - all children must believe So at *any* point that one or more of the above stops being true,...

@flauridian The context of 1Ti is clearly stopping false teaching not true teaching. And the grammar of 1Ti 2:12 is singular, not plural. The explanation needs to be coherent of the grammar, the reference to Adam and Eve and the “she (sg) will be sav...

@Conscientious43 @_jonbowlin However, that there is a great multitude of believers who come out of the tribulation does not mean that God doesn’t rapture the church prior to the tribulation. Both are true. Yet many come to belief in the tribulation a...

@Enigmaticx24479 @RamiThePaladin @MikeWingerii @TheHustleCritic Where is an elder ever said to authentein anyone? The context is false teaching, not teaching truth. You are presuming that Paul isn’t allowing the teaching of truth but that contradict...

@_jonbowlin @slow_down_Jess Finally, Hebrews highlights Christ’s superior sacrifice and a heavenly temple but this doesn’t negate a future earthly temple in the Millennium. I believe it serves as a memorial to Christ’s work as there are still people ...

@IemSparticus @harmonizedgrace The bridge doesn't contain hierarchy or authority

@IemSparticus @harmonizedgrace Yes, Eph 5:21 does form a bridge concluding the list of 5 participles outlining what v18 means by being filled with the Spirit and introducing what this means in the husband/wife relationship which pictures Christ and t...

@pitchford316 @ScottRoberts As for the "I will never leave nor forsake you," we have to take the basis for this statement in what God has said in scripture. In Deut 31, we have both the promise not to leave or forsake and shortly after God stating He...

@StevenMKestner @ScottRoberts Notice in the following passage the "if...then" constructions. If we deny Him means if we no longer have faith. Does He then preserve us? Scripture says that He will deny us. For the last one, our faithlessness will not ...
