@Eric_Conn But the oldest position is that of Jesus and the apostles—mutual submission and equal opportunity for both men and women to serve in any leadership roles or as teachers and preachers.

@purple_space78 @Eric_Conn That’s strange. Everything Jesus said to her, He said without her husband there: - Jesus requests her for water - Jn 4:7 - Jesus speaks of living water - Jn 4:10 - Jesus offers eternal life - Jn 4:14 - Jesus reveals her pe...

For those wondering how the ISV translated this text to mean the opposite of nearly every other translation, I have marked up my NASB as follows: The use of οὐδὲ can introduce a rhetorical negation "Not even nature itself teaches you..." rather than...

@DST_QA @Robert_S_Morley It doesn’t say authority “over” the church but authorit

@DST_QA @Robert_S_Morley My understanding of Adam’s expulsion is not only consistent with the text in Ge 3:22-24 but with the constant referral to “one man” by Paul in Ro 5:12,18-19; 1Co 15:21-22. The idea of responsibility because of some position o...

@DST_QA @Robert_S_Morley Context defines meaning. In this context, it seems clear that Christ’s supreme authority over all creation is in view. Eph 1:22 indicates that this authority is exercised for the benefit of the church. This underscores the ch...

Why is it becoming “Tier 1” (primary)? Because he believes it is an attack on t

The following comment is so over the top! If a woman being a pastor is grasping for what even Jesus didn't go after, then what are all the men who call themselves pastors doing??🤔 He thinks that we are to model one way submission, yet the Trinity i...

@DragonHawk1959 @Eric_Conn You are relying on liberal scholarship. They question even the things Jesus said in the gospel accounts and divide up the Bible questioning everything. Here's a textual critic, Dr. Daniel Wallace on Pauline authorship of 1...

@Stephen_Yahn @DaddyRoach Here are the short portions that are widely recognized as Paul quoting from the Corinthians: 6:12a “Everything is permissible for me”—but (all’) not everything is beneficial. 6:12b “Everything is permissible for me”—but (a...

There’s more going on in that picture besides the long hair. How about John the Baptist who was a Nazarite from birth and therefore never cut his hair? 🤔 "Nature itself teaches you *neither* that it is disgraceful for a man to have long hair *nor* t...

@avyargo @Rick07200430 @LoblollyPine73 @Eric_Conn Again, it appears that 1Ti 2:11-12 and 1Co 14:34-35 were mistaken passages from quite early on. Just because the majority got these wrong doesn't mean they were inspired in their interpretation and ap...

@avyargo @LoblollyPine73 @Eric_Conn “Likewise their wives” was a translation choice. Note “their” and “must be” are not in the Greek. The NASB says, “Likewise, women…” If ‘their wives’ is correct, why are the wives of deacons highlighted but not of ...

@LoblollyPine73 @Eric_Conn The qualifications are listed in 1Ti 3:1-13. There are specific things highlighted for women in v11, but otherwise, the same character qualifications apply to all. there are no male pronouns, a neuter one in v1 “tis” and th...

@Grump_Old_Man @DBryanRhodes @ronhenzel @Gates_of_Derry @CalebDixonSmith I love the scripture and what it means. I don’t like when people misrepresent it. “…and he is the saviour of the body” This statement is what qualifies what kephale (translate...

@Grump_Old_Man @DBryanRhodes @ronhenzel @Gates_of_Derry @CalebDixonSmith Complementarians exist in quite a range. My last church only prevented women from the lead pastor role. Some prevent women from any leadership role. Others prevent them from ser...

@landjax @Charb_izard The question was about who will be greatest in heaven and then Jesus gathered the 12 to explain that the greatest is the one who is the slave of all. This is about the idea of hierarchy and who has authority and how it is exerci...

@smashbaals Which is why we should not forbid women from serving in whatever capacity and gifting that God gives them! We should not be needlessly dividing Jesus’ church over these secondary matters. One church has male only leadership and another ...
