@Matthew56193629 @BretArrigo @sher_qw @mtnhousewife …by their *own* choice to believe. Surely you jest, right? Do you actually think people are saved against their will? 🤔

@Matthew56193629 @BretArrigo @sher_qw @mtnhousewife There is no such thing as vicarious salvation! Salvation is only by individual faith. Are you a Calvinist by chance? Perhaps you believe this meant God predestined his household, but then that woul...

@Matthew56193629 @BretArrigo @sher_qw @mtnhousewife Uh… but it says every man (andros, singular) in the context of a passage that mentions a woman (gynaikos, singular). Why doesn’t Paul say people (anthropos) or believers if he means that Christ is ...

@PatrickHen1776 @mtnhousewife @Jleerockwell First, I don’t care how weak you think I am. Second, I’m not flexing on patriarchal women. Third, thank you for the encouragement to read the Bible and pray with my wife. Everyone male and female could ta...

@PatrickHen1776 @mtnhousewife @Jleerockwell You guys seem to see everything as black and white! Egalitarians are in the middle between matriarchy and patriarchy. Feminism is about asserting women’s rights. Egalitarians (or mutualists) are about equa...

@GrammarJedi01 @mtnhousewife Everyone of us—myself and you included—have a perspective of what we think the Bible is teaching. By interacting we expose each other to different perspectives allowing us to revisit the text to see which is best. I fram...

@mtnhousewife If arguing is not allowed, how about just presenting your perspective of what the you believe the Bible teaches and responding to questions or challenges? Not arguing in any negative sense, but discussing. 😊 If you are unconvinced, the...

@mtnhousewife Thanks for at least talking about talking. 😊 I have often used egalitarian as a descriptor of what I believe. I would even clarify by using mutualist as it’s not about asserting rights but laying them down. What do you mean by calling...

@Matthew56193629 @mtnhousewife While Paul can quote Gk philosophers, in no instance does he use them as the basis for his teaching nor does he double down on the culture. “The Pharisees say the woman’s place is in the home, but I tell you ‘and also s...

@MaineMinistry To continue this thread, thanks for sharing your thoughts. Would you have a problem if everyone who attended your church was elder material or taught classes or led Bible studies? What right do you have to hold someone back if they are...

@MaineMinistry That church went non-denominational and merged with another local church which had a female lead pastor. Eventually, they hired a new pastor. To cut to the chase, I lasted about 2 years and in a meeting of the pastor, elders and deacon...

@MaineMinistry Our current church started as reformed (part of the RCA) but is now attached to Vision Ministries here in Canada. They are egalitarian, but sometimes as leadership act very authoritarian. So there are still remnants of bad theology of ...

@MaineMinistry Another church I continue to attend from time to time but the pastor told me that while I am welcome to attend and be a member, I cannot lead anything ever because I’m not a Calvinist or a complementarian. Another church we attended es...

@JhayFBCS @jdtemple3rd @Logos Oh for sure there are differences, but nothing significant enough that one couldn't fellowship and be a member of each of these churches. There are issues with each, however. Our current church left the RCA because they ...

@MaineMinistry @MikeWingerii I run a Bible study at my work and a Roman Catholic attends. He is a wonderful believer and a strong Christian brother. While I haven’t attended his church, I have strong concerns with many things I see in the RC church. ...

@Daniel2Pilgrim @RebelReformers @MikeWingerii It’s a different role, yes, which is why the character requirements are clear. Preventing someone because of an immutable characteristic is not in the text. There is no “must not be a female.” Faithful if...

The early church had no denominations. Yet, forces threatened to divide them. One such force was the Judaizers, who pressured Gentile believers to follow Jewish ceremonial laws. Paul fought this battle fiercely in Galatia, where the church was stray...

@RebelReformers @MikeWingerii That is pretty close to what I believe. But if inspiration is not specific to male or female and if both sons and daughters can prophecy—and yes, some do dispute this though Mike doesn’t (though I’m not sure about what h...

@TheApe_Theist @MikeWingerii I don’t believe Mike when he says he wanted to be egalitarian. He was always complementarian—he comes from Calvary Chapel which is strongly complementarian. He was complementarian before his investigation and when good eg...

@MikeWingerii The problem is that someone believes that it is most likely that a woman wrote it, if they were complementarian, they would quite likely no longer be a complementarian as scripture by definition is authoritative. So I’m not sure what p...
