@trulyheisrisen @ortrails @goteamcarr I am conservative because I hold the Bible to be completely inspired in every way and authoritative. I believe the Bible teaches we are a kingdom of priests, and that includes females. 1 Peter 2:5, 9: Peter wri...

@YoloSwag7878 @William_E_Wolfe @bartbarber You are certainly right that if someone rejects what they believe to be the plain teaching of scripture, that bodes poorly for other matters and the slope has been greased. But there are many of us who are ...

@RebelDissent @rightresponsem America is not under a theocracy. If two consenting adults do things in their bedroom, you have no right to punish them for it! if they claim to be Christians, the most you can do is remove them from the church. Yes, ...

@rightresponsem It is not the job of Christians to force Christian behaviour on unbelievers. This is the critical error of CN. "For what business of mine is it to judge outsiders? Do you not judge those who are within the church? But those who are ...

@CovenantReform2 @SophieLuther83 @GingerSnapKid The apostles were selected before the start of the church. Maybe Jesus had some other reason why He chose 12 Jewish males...remember, there were 12 sons of Jacob, 12 tribes of Israel? Yet just as we d...

@BogdanOancea77 @ReyannaRice @CovenantReform2 @lynna_listens No, he is not just talking about salvation. For one, we know that in the Mosaic covenant, only Levite males without defect are permitted to be priests. No females and no Gentiles were all...

@aflawedmanofGod @ortrails @goteamcarr Being a Berean doesn’t require agreement but eagerly listening and searching the scriptures. In the church, believers are all priests—without gender distinctions. 1.1 Pet 2:5,9: “You yourselves like living sto...

@JeffreyPHo67012 @ortrails @goteamcarr It’s true that if they believe scripture is clear and they violate it that this portends worse things. If you haven’t heard a woman preach sound doctrine, you haven’t been around much or only hear women who are...

@DineshDSouza However, the SBC made gender-roles part of their statement of faith. While those who disregard scripture are most certainly in danger of becoming progressive, there are those who believe gender restrictions are not Biblical...because o...

@TaylorRMarshall All who repent of their sins and believe on Jesus once and for

@EKHyland The saving grace for complementarians is that they believe that the husband is to love his wife as Christ loved the church. So even though it is very easy to get out of balance, it can still work. For that reason, I think we can live in p...

@Emma506131772 @SaulMelow @HamzahSsebunya @Mwembugaoficial @_Huza01 @faith_nabushawo @Abusengz In the church, we are called a kingdom of priests. This is for all believers. “And has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to...

@gray_jedi_ @_nomadic_soul If you know someone in your fellowship thinks you are a false believer, that would be hard. I experienced this too. Even Paul talks about being in danger from 'false brethren' so it is not unexpected that this can happen....

@JBenSimpson @DuletzkeMelanie @pastordmack Not even men are supposed to exercise

@CrankyKat @DeniedTitan @RevJacquiLewis There’s a soft side to this complementarian view that is certainly appealing, but it still misses some things about these passages and inserts authority and hierarchy and gender based roles that are not what th...

@ChristMount777 @TheSBCPlatform @BaptistPress @sbcamendment All I’m saying is that you have two churches that do things differently and have different convictions about secondary matters so you should still be able to work together. You need to leav...

@JacobSpray5 @Believer1611KJV 1 Tim 2:11-15 is about false teaching, not about preventing women from teaching true doctrine. 1 Cor 14:34-36 is Paul quoting from the letter from the Corinthians (see 1 Cor 7:1) and refuting it. As for the requirement...

@pauldirks @KaeleyT @take_me_jesus @CatholicABear Interesting. Why then do you

@pauldirks @KaeleyT @CatholicABear The way you are phrasing your question—and what I know you believe about gender role linkages—leads me to believe you are asking whether men can replace a mother in child-rearing. I don’t think they can ever replac...

@DavidCShell1 @Emma41913442572 @p3_1415926i @TnShitStirrer @Eric_Conn What makes you think every Christian believed what you do? Even if all got it wrong, the apostles didn’t. Jesus picked 12 Jewish males but we don’t say only Jewish males can be p...

@Softball_Nani @Robert_S_Morley @KaeleyT I was more disappointed that my pastor

@kimberley_7_ @GillesPaling @BogdanOancea77 I don’t believe the Biblical text—when carefully considered—teaches there are gender restrictions on leadership. I’m also questioning what is meant by “authority over men.” The word used in 1 Tim 2 is aut...

@BibleBashed Why guess? Elijah thought he was the only one left and God had to

@DST_QA Yes, when we submit to others, we are looking out for their interests above our own. We set aside what we want and we do what someone else wants. Husbands have a calling to do that too. "I believe that when a man submits to his wife, he is...

@DanielSmithAP2 @normal_catholic @AlexanderPayton No, I believe this is going back to Eve, and the “seed of the woman” as Paul was using the reference to Adam and Eve as a prototype of a situation with a deceived woman who is teaching and a husband w...

@KeiferStreet @PastorMark I almost agreed with your post except you said “How God chooses people is certainly a mystery.” That is of course what a good Calvinist believes but I believe that God chooses those who fear Him and gives these to Christ. ...

@SonicReformati1 @1689caveman @ronhenzel 1. John 6:29 ⎯ "The work of God is...to believe..." The "of God" is in the genitive meaning that our faith is a result of His work in us. We believe because God is drawing us and teaching us. But it is we wh...

@KaeleyT @pauldirks Yoinks. Thanks for this clip Kaeley! He says earlier that "Women not only can be, but must be students of Scripture. They must be catechized and discipled to be clear and disciplined thinkers, able to refute error and hold fast ...

@pauldirks @KaeleyT I appreciate your distancing yourself from some patriarchalists. I don’t believe biblically that anyone is to have “authentein” over anyone, so the statement in 1 Tim 2:11-12 has a specific understanding in the context of somethi...

@pauldirks @KaeleyT I’m just finishing up your proelium series on Sex and Gender, so I am aware of your perspective and the ways in which you differ from other complementarians. I care little about the majority view as we don’t judge scripture based...

@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...

@jmmooreo @danitreweek It’s unfortunate Dani saw what I said as relabeling and took offence to it on that account. I may have been provocative in how I framed my comments, but I’d sincerely be interested in her take on 1 Cor 14:34-35 and 1 Tim 2:11-...

@TimHami97610674 @BogdanOancea77 I didn’t see this somehow. Sorry for the delay! Yes I absolutely believe that God gifts irrespective of biological sex, ethnicity and social status in the body for the benefit of all! A gifted and qualified woman w...

@GillesPaling @William_E_Wolfe @amconmag If you believe that infant baptism saves a child then you are saying that there is salvation conferred by baptism apart from faith in Christ. Seems more primary to me than whether a woman is allowed to teach ...

@JohnMoo26668690 @WillEhrendreich @ElizabethOstli1 My conclusions align with scholars like Dr. Craig Keener, Dr. Nijay Gupta, Dr. Gordon Fee, etc. I know many complementarians who disagree with me but do not call me a false teacher. And all of us h...

@IssacharsNexus @JohnMoo26668690 Yes, I read my Bible very carefully. I believe it is fully inspired even down to the grammatical details. I suggested another possible reason our culture is having gender issues is because abuse of patriarchy. What...

@JohnMoo26668690 @WillEhrendreich @ElizabethOstli1 I may in fact be a fool. That has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the point I’m making. Do you think that I am advocating for those women that are teaching false doctrines today? Is that ...

@JohnMoo26668690 @WillEhrendreich @ElizabethOstli1 So you agree that the husband

@WillEhrendreich @JohnMoo26668690 @ElizabethOstli1 Think about this for a second…If the man doesn’t have authority over his own body…then what makes you think he has authority over his wife? I’m simply finding an example where the husband is said he...
