@pauldirks @KaeleyT The exact same thing applies to your interpretation as well. Why don’t you take another look at a consistent, Biblically faithful, egalitarian interpretation of 1 Cor 14:34-36 and

@pauldirks @KaeleyT Yes of course. But I was speaking in context of Ephesians 5. The apostle Paul is offering a corrective to specific relationship issues. https://t.co/Z58JiQI6JM

@ronhenzel In Ephesians 2:8, Paul's focus on being 'in Christ' emphasizes what believers obtain through faith, not a predestination of who will have faith. The matching gender between 'mercy' and 'gift' aligns with this context, showing that salvatio...

Quoting Mark Driscoll: ‘Imagine the pastor today that… slit their throats as a public event. That’s Elijah.’ Such a statement overlooks the unique context and covenant fidelity of Israel. It’s a dangerous precedent to apply ancient events out of cont...

While appreciating the beauty in cultural and ethnic differences, it’s vital to recognize that in Christ’s church, God has removed the ethnic dividing wall. Galatians 3:28 tells us, ‘There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, fo...

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 1. No There’s no evidence that I’m aware of that women were allowed to read Torah in first century synagogues. Teaching and preaching would be from the Torah and the reasons for not hearing a woman’s voice in this context is it coul...

@JohnMoo26668690 I appreciate that you seem dedicated to Biblical faithfulness and how upsetting it is to see how culture has completely gone mad. However, in understanding these issues, it's also vital to consider the historical context. The patri...

@outcatching @GlennDavies @danitreweek I posted it because you keep referring to it so we might as well allow people to decide for themselves. Whether its beautiful or accurate exegesis, you will have to decide for yourself. I respond to his exeges...

@outcatching @GlennDavies @danitreweek I don’t reject the plain meaning of scripture but interpret it in context. Thanks for your concern but we disagree on a secondary issue related to women and that’s ok. Your reference to 1 Tim 2:11-12 should be...

@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...

@outcatching @GlennDavies @danitreweek Jesus washed Judas' feet at the last supper...Paul called himself "a bondservant of Christ." We are all servants. The context has to be used to determine whether the person is a leader or not. It is leaders t...

@outcatching @GlennDavies @danitreweek This way of framing our difference is disingenuous. You don’t see that how you interpret this issue is through your patriarchal rubric? You split a hair on one detail in the phrase “one wife husband” and don’t...

@outcatching @GlennDavies @danitreweek Jesus says to eat His flesh and drink His blood and no one starts cannibalizing him. Jesus is a gate, a door, etc. I’m literally interpreting Paul’s idiom. It’s not hidden so you cannot see it, but your patri...

@uncledando @ChristChurchTe1 @TomBuck Well, what happens to single women who don't have a husband? I think this passage refers to how the wife often sticks with an abusive, controlling husband even though it doesn't make sense. I could be wrong, bu...

@outcatching @GlennDavies @danitreweek I’m not dismissing anything. I’m exegeting this idiom in context. I think we need to first address your comment “That’s the behaviour of an egalitarian, not a Believer.” Are you suggesting I’m not a Christian...

@outcatching @GlennDavies @danitreweek The male pronouns you see in the English

@RobertZ60423932 @NiceNeanderthal @Red_Beard_1Sgt Plain English? But it’s Greek. Further, it cannot mean “must be married” (Paul himself wasn’t married), and this doesn’t say “must not be a woman”. Given no male pronouns are used in this passage a...

@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...

@OccamsBraiser @iheartJ37 @MikeWingerii “You really ought to be embarrassed.” Is this really necessary? Thayer’s may have interpretively selected the wrong application here. This isn’t an “A or B” construction though some may think it is. I took ...

@OccamsBraiser @iheartJ37 @MikeWingerii That some quotes aren’t introduced means that it is possible. Therefore, we need to read in context to determine whether or not this is a quote. Paul says to eagerly desire to prophesy, not that everyone will...

@OccamsBraiser @iheartJ37 @MikeWingerii What stands is Paul’s statements in the beginning of chapter 14 up to verses 34-35 and Paul’s questions in verse 36 that contradict verses 34 &amp; 35. My sources were the Exegetical Dictionary of the New Test...

@Snuggernaut1 @chadlyrose @sovereignbrah You need to read this passage in context and make sense of the grammar. Paul's difficult grammar is because of what he tells Timothy in the first chapter. And the reference to Adam and Eve is not about hiera...

@coramdeo1 @mbird12 @ivpacademic I doubt this passage has anything to do with Artemis. Well, at least Paul doesn't explain what the false teaching is. But he also doesn't tell Timothy to stop women from teaching true doctrine. The grammar is also ...

@TheBerean777 @EllaFlash @Maranatha7774 1 Tim 2:11-15 has been taken out of context. I don't blame people, but if you carefully consider the grammar, the purpose of this personal letter to Timothy and the reference to Genesis 1-2, it will make much ...

@SamanthaAsia2 This passage has been taken out of context. Paul's personal letter to Timothy was to stop false teaching, not to stop women from teaching the truth. And the grammar is very specific for reasons provided in Chapter 1. And verse 15 sa...
