@Eric_Conn A man who lives in constant fear of a qualified woman serving as an elder and teaching truth to all including men is unfit to serve as a leader in the church.

@MikeWingerii And sometimes it’s men who underestimate the Holy Spirit’s gifting and choosing when it is pastoral gifts given to women and His selecting them for elders and overseers.

@YourCalvinist Nothing wrong with finding motivation to learn the word and disciple your wife. What does that have to do with women’s voices being filthy and that all women must be silent for 1 hour o

@ncksmith @MikeWingerii Secondly, Mike’s comment about being able to disagree amicably on secondary matters is not about me, it’s about Mike. When I confronted him on this, he simply doubled down instead of clarifying that he’s not asking those spre...

@IsaiahofNZ @MikeWingerii Believing that you are faithfully following scripture is not rebellion! When you make every disagreement a matter of rebellion, you just get a fractured church with denominational explosion. We have to stick to the primary ...

@akn0187rmb @MtotheBWilly @MikeWingerii Repent of what? Teaching that women can

@joyologi @MtotheBWilly @MikeWingerii It could appear that way but he makes it clear that it’s because of the teachings not that he is calling for repentance for those vilifying complementarians and saying they are all abusive. I think the following ...

@Tailfeathers_WA @MtotheBWilly @MikeWingerii Ok, so will my works be burned up b

@scottspeig @MikeWingerii No. He made the spreading of the teaching a primary matter. To him it is the teaching itself that leads to harm against his view of church leadership and gender hierarchy in marriage. I’m not calling Mike to repent of sprea...

My Q1 &amp; Ron's post 2/8: Paul's purpose⎯1Ti 3:14-15 instead of 1Ti 1:3 ? "If you leave out everything leading up to 'charge certain persons' (or 'instruct certain people') it’s easier to twist this verse into a general statement about the epistle...

@ymmotrojam @onedayatatimeLB @smashbaals Paul transitions from talking about women in the 3rd person to addressing “you” (2nd pers) in v36. This abrupt shift suggests he’s now directly challenging those responsible for the views expressed in v34-35. ...

@ymmotrojam @onedayatatimeLB @smashbaals The accusative here emphasizes exclusive reception—Paul is challenging their presumed monopoly on divine authority. It’s as if he’s saying, “Do you really think God’s word is for you alone?” Clearly they think...

@KevinCanale24 @JRowley11 I have never heard asking questions a "poison gas cloud"! How is it indefensible? Ron Henzel took a stab and answered each one of my questions. So it's not indefensible. Of course I feel I have answers to those questions, b...

@Tazorius @Keith83361 @smashbaals Indeed! No overseer should have “wives” either. Oh, and Paul was unmarried…so he who is making the requirements is disqualified. And also, elders must have at least 2 or more believing children, so all of you elders...

@onedayatatimeLB @ymmotrojam @smashbaals I think that some biblical instructions like this are less explicit to test our discernment. Take 1Ti 3:2—those who insist “an elder must be male” overlook that just a few verses later (1Ti 3:4-5), elders are...

@UndeadOrlan @Keith83361 @smashbaals For those of us who take the time to read the text in its context, we see that 1Ti 2:12 is very clearly addressing a particular false teacher who was deceived and hadn’t been corrected yet. Mind answering the fol...

@smashbaals @Wesley_Todd_ Clearly they are seminary professors to show you that

@blazefranco_ @smashbaals No, that's not what 1Ti 2:11-12 says. "A" woman is not all women, and Paul's clear and stated purpose is to stop false teaching not true teaching from anyone. There's a specific couple⎯a wife teaching heresy and her husband ...

@DavidGalle94823 @HagemanJack @smashbaals The church fathers are the apostles. No one after them should 'trump' Jesus' apostles as recorded in scripture. Tradition has a way of doing that as unless you verify that it is in full agreement with scriptu...

@CaptainDavidA @rigginout @smashbaals Also, Paul thinks that an entire church could be deceived like Eve (see 2Co 11:3). This shows unequivocally that both men and women can be deceived in the same way as Paul did not differentiate that it was only t...

@mithSIM @smashbaals Rather, people just repeat a text out of context and think they have some sort of slam dunk stopping half the body from teaching truth to the other half! What on earth convinced you that this was Paul's point of his personal lett...

@ronhenzel @NSReicher No, he made several statements you conflate: ❌"...it's because he doesn't like the answers." ✔️+❌"Bible's really clear on these issues." ⎯ I see it clearly now, but it wasn't at first. ✔️"Thousands have...come to the same conclu...

@CovenantReform2 @ronhenzel I believe every word of scripture. You are falsely accusing me of lying. The word in 1Co 11:3 is kephale which means head. The word is different than authority or boss and its meaning is defined by the context in how Paul...

@122R1 @ronhenzel FYI, that’s not what I think. I’m not skipping over anything as I wasn’t giving an exegesis; I was listing some important questions to which I need cohesive and compelling answers to if they are going to be able to change my mind. ...

@MikedAlamo @ronhenzel I’m seeking to confuse ‘the teaching’? Interesting that you have access to my intentions. I’m asking complementarians the questions I have on this text, exactly as stated, which complementarians need to consider in trying to c...

@ronhenzel @Presbyterianon Well now, Ron. Since you are an elder (whether paid or not matters little), shouldn’t you press back on comments like these? Is it beyond your pay grade to know that in German, “schatz” means treasure? A man would call his...

@StothersRyan @M_Jensen23 You said the context is clearly authority and that I have decided not to let the text change me. You merely listed texts without explaining them and then decided what I have decided. Then you followed up that any answer I gi...

@whoalaura @StothersRyan Yes, men penned scripture (though we don’t know for sure that women were not involved—ie. who wrote Hebrews, Ruth, Esther?), but the following passages from 1Peter are clear that scripture is not men making things up or propo...

@Jskellinton78 I still don’t know what that means. You are just making statements. I’m backing up my view with a careful exegesis of scripture. Where is one human to rule over another ever the intention of Ge 1:28? Both the man and the woman are to ...
