This is a very good point. If you going to claim that no one has an interest in your opinion and that you wouldn't waste our time by giving it, then the right way to proceed is to read the Bible passa

@DMAC22131964 @paulsfam4 Listing Bible verses which are often taken out of context is not how to defend a teaching. A text taken out of its context is a pretext for a prooftext.

@1KingdomDoulos Oh goodness, my comments are not about the decline of the Bible! They are about the theological framework called Calvinism. Calvinism is not the Bible (as much as you might believe it is accurate). If Calvinism declines, it will mean ...

@JD_MWANGUHYA @LoganRamseySDG I don’t think that this is how God works. There are many errors in the church and at any rate, Calvinism wasn’t caused by them and has been around for 500 years and sourced from Augustine. I don’t know what you are talk...

@residentreformr I agree with you. But I don't believe Calvinism is 'proper theo

@dixon_maso90190 Yes! Why would you ask? Calvinism is often found to be dividing churches. By dealing with Calvinism, this hits at one of the roots causing needless division. For example, one Calvinist pastor friend claims I'm semi-Pelagian, so desp...

@DirkWalstead @BawitdaBavinck No, and thanks for asking. It refers to Eph 5:21 in relation to mutual submission one to another. I prefer this over the term Egalitarian because the latter is often seen as asserting one’s rights, but I think Biblically...

@mr_shiplet Well, it’s going fine as they appear to be more open to those who differ on these things than other churches I attempted to become part of. My timing is simply due to the reminder of how significantly these 3 contributed to the modern Ca...

@mr_shiplet I have been told by more than one church that either I’m not welcome into leadership given my non-Calvinist soteriology or worse, that I’m not saved as they claim I’m semi-Pelagian because I’m not a Calvinist. It is frequently divisive a...

@robotcop1984 @sola_chad Trolling? Seriously? Why are you dismissing my arguments in this way? Maybe you are trolling, but that’s not what I’m doing. Paul continues describing deacons in the same way as elders using grammatically masculine forms as ...

@robotcop1984 @sola_chad “Women likewise…” “Likewise” (ὡσαύτως) connects these women to the previous category (i.e., overseers or deacons), just as 1Ti 3:8 uses the same word to transition to deacons. Paul highlights some special things for women bu...

@robotcop1984 @sola_chad I already explained to you that the descriptions in 1Ti 3:1-7 use the male form of the words, but no actual explicit pronouns except ‘tis’ in 3:1 which means anyone/someone. This is how you would word it in Koine Greek if you...
