@BigYehudah @riemersonck I’m not quoting and agreeing with everything they believe silly. God didn’t implement a hierarchy of authority between male and female. https://t.co/IORdUu0T3w

@rofbethany No. Show me where scripture says Christ rules over His bride or tak

@Grump_Old_Man @Robert_S_Morley @ronhenzel @smashbaals Again, you presume things: 1. That equal opportunity must mean we should see equal representation of M/F 2. That the NT explicitly names all pastors/elders 3. That God designates leadership to b...

@Robert_S_Morley @Grump_Old_Man @ronhenzel @smashbaals “He will rule over you” isn’t a curse though. It’s a prophecy. God didn’t say, “I will make sure that he rules over you” nor did He say to Adam “you must rule over your wife” to show He gave Adam...

@silentrnajority @russle_p2 I’ve been debating this issue because it is an issue affecting many women in the church. It also affects men who support women in leadership as 3 local churches I was interested in wouldn’t let me ever be a leader because ...

@Writerwhsmith @JamesPelton18 This is absolutely correct! It is a word used in the verb form only once in the New Testament and only 8 other times in antiquity. It is extremely rare and one would wonder why Paul chose this specific word to mean norma...

@Grump_Old_Man If God’s intent was to accept Gentiles fully and have them being pastors and leaders and preachers, why wouldn’t he have captured one Gentile sermon? See how this works Grumpy? Name anyone who is called pastor? How about anyone spec...

@jtdxn_ @gxp11 @MikeWingerii Or how about “thou shalt not legislate Christianity”? The apostles were politically neutral. Paul says simply to pray for those in authority so that we might be able to lead a tranquil life. "2:1 First of all, then, I ur...

@ronhenzel @megbasham Yes, it is enough for my own church to have female leaders

@ronhenzel @megbasham No. Things got whacky during covid and I got forced out of

@saltyliberal74 I don’t know why people keep propping Trump up as “a man of God”

@Wisdom2Lead @pastordmack Consequences for sin in leaders are clear.

@pastherandie @ScottCross_8 @pastordmack Executive Order 13526, signed by President Obama, states: “The authority to classify information originally may be exercised only by the President and, in the performance of executive duties, by the Vice Pres...

@pastordmack King David also did some bad things. The felony conviction is clearly biased. I’m Al for separation of church and state. And for competent leadership. When the bad leaders are trying to crucify the opposition it’s like they are telling ...

@zie95776 @BahBahBased @MikeWingerii Yes and I follow what is clear in black and white. Absolutely, Jesus is not the author of confusion! He would certainly not appoint Deborah as judge and prophet and the highest authority in all the land if it were...

@Keepersathome @ambientheat @jtdxn_ @MikeWingerii Frankly this is not about who

@BahBahBased @zie95776 @MikeWingerii The only place you are getting the idea that women are not allowed to have authority is from 1Ti 2:12 and authentein. But that is not the normal work for authority and is not even used for men or anyone. If you ca...

@zie95776 @BahBahBased @MikeWingerii Why did Paul write ‘a woman’ instead of ‘women’ like in vs9-10? Why did Paul use authentein, a verb form that is only found once in the Bible and 8 times in antiquity if he meant normal authority? Paul notes tha...

@dmichaelclary @jdgreear If I understand you correctly… So—if the church is full of African believers, we don’t intentionally bring in a white person to lead. We look around us to find those sound in the faith, mature, with evidenced character and w...

@CNistEnjoyer That passage says “a woman” and “a man,” connects them with another couple Adam and Eve, uses the article “the woman” in v14 as an anaphoric reference to identify “a woman” in v11-12 to be a particular woman and that woman will be saved...

@3GNRTX The ‘naming’ of ‘woman’ (pre-fall) is simply an observation that Isha (woman) came out of Ish (man). That’s not a name, but an observation of what God did. And God used it first in the text. There is no indication of authority observed in th...

@3GNRTX Where was a hierarchy of authority of the man over the woman established

@StephenStaedtl1 @baste_goblin @DelaKram75 And not even 1% of all believers are

@dantheman278 @Thygar @MikeWingerii That’s a reasonable definition I can agree with. And that’s why women and men need to work together in leadership. It makes for decisions that have less blind spots, a more diverse set of skills and strengths among...

@MegaChurchMouse Curious you chose a verse in a passage that commends a bunch of female leaders. Question for you: could someone in a Pentecostal church quote the same verse if you try to correct their egalitarian teaching (that they have learned fo...

@MikeWingerii I also find it interesting how those who advocate for male-only leadership in the church label themselves 'complementarians.’ This term suggests inclusion of both due to the complementarity of strengths rather than excluding women. I...

🧵 It seems @Brian_Sauve has the secret to solve all problems in the church. 🤯 You see, if you have only male leaders, all the problems just go away. 🙄 Brian thinks that if women are part of the team, that requires a “parallel system” to be constru...

@BeyondZenny @Brian_Sauve So any woman serving in the capacity of a shepherd is

@BeyondZenny @Brian_Sauve Let’s backup a tad. My pastor is a male and I am a male. He doesn’t have authority over me. Scripture has authority. He certainly can act like he has authority—but unless what he says is aligned with the Word, whatever auth...

@Reformed_Zoomer @j_robert_kirk @MolderAnna26649 @Brian_Sauve Leading her into what? The faith? If she is more spiritual than you, you must lead her? Is that how church leadership is determined? No consideration of gifting or skill, just what’s in on...

@TonyMor52435077 @masonmennenga If we sat down for coffee, I could tell you stories about church behaviour, that of leaders and pastors. Again, my point is not that there are people failing—there are many, but that this is not the basis on which I b...

@Cooper9DL You are taking 1Ti 2:12 out of context and are treating “head” in the sense of authority or master over which is not the sense in which Paul was using the word kephale. Your comment about 1Ti 3:1-13 being directed at only men is likely due...

@coramdeo1 I’m not ignoring the literary structure of Gen 1-3. That the man is created first, the woman is created from the man and she is created for the man does not imply or require that she is to be ruled by the man. Authority is given to both t...
