@NSanctification Ok, so women can teach and perform the same tasks as elders, just so long as they avoid doing it for 2 hours on Sunday morning between 10am and 12pm? So in their homes is fine? What do you mean by be in authority over a man? Does ...

@punkpublican I'm glad you allow women to evangelize! Wouldn't that be teaching someone the gospel? Being an elder is simply teaching and correcting to what the Bible says, not making new doctrine. What makes you think that this is the domain of m...

@t_mo_land @jdenehar Eph 5:21 says "and subject yourselves to one another in the bfear of Christ." This includes husbands subjecting themselves to their wives and pastors to their congregants. The Biblical call is mutual subjection, so whatever the...

@jdenehar We follow elders if they relate God's instructions accurately. So who we are following is actually God and His Word. Elders don't have a special teaching "authority" but a responsibility and a service to offer. About headship, take a loo...

@3HillsMinor What authority does anyone have in the church? If my pastor says I can’t serve on the choir, I willingly submit what I want to keep the peace, but I don’t obey him because he’s the “authority.” If he says I need to obey this or that in...

@3HillsMinor Show me one scripture in the entire New Testament that identifies a

@3HillsMinor @Rattle_Resists @Kdubtru @michael_ronning Eph 5:21 is pretty clear too: “and subject yourselves to one another in the fear of Christ.” We submit to one another. I’ve lived this way for decades of my marriage. You should try it—it work...

@3HillsMinor @Rattle_Resists @Kdubtru @michael_ronning Paul is most certainly an overseer! Seriously, on what basis can you substantiate your claim? He is probably the quintessential model of one⎯taking care over multiple churches, writing letters,...

@3HillsMinor @Rattle_Resists @Kdubtru @michael_ronning Yes. Paul is both an apo

@3HillsMinor @Rattle_Resists @Kdubtru @michael_ronning Even Mike Winger admits that women can be deacons and yet the term “one wife husband” is also a requirement of deacons. Was Paul married? No. And he advocated for singleness—since it removes d...

@TeamPapuForever @graceforprize Paul was both an apostle and overseer but not a husband. So this requirement cannot mean “must be married” but rather “if married, must be faithful.” The emphasis is on the “one.” For the same reason it doesn’t requ...

@psalm119164 @ich1ban123456 @ymmotrojam I’m just curious. What does “authority

@AlvinOchola @MikeWingerii @hashim_warren So pastors only submit to pastors? Eph 5:21 says "and subject yourselves to one another in the fear of Christ." This obviously doesn’t mean be obedient to, but to willingly subject yourself under another. ...

@ChristVictorous An elder is simply someone who has exemplary and proven godly character, is able to handle the Word rightly, is capable of teaching, patient when contradicted, able to deal gently with those who contradict and correct false teaching,...

@graceforprize @sympatheticNPC The doctrine that came out of this was set out by the Apostles⎯James, Paul, Peter, but it was also agreed to by the WHOLE church. James was the leader in this judgment but in verse 22 it was the whole church which inclu...

@graceforprize So your view is that a woman should not teach a man anything? So

@sympatheticNPC @graceforprize I think, however, that we still have teachers in the church in that elders must be able to teach. So the Holy Spirit does work through people. It's just that we shouldn't consider any elder or pastor as "the teacher" ...

@Ashwin_Vengayil @Duke456521 @MikeWingerii @hashim_warren I think that Mike is now supported by YouTube/X revenue, so he is no longer employed in the position of pastor in a church. I heard him state the latter recently. I’m not certain about his r...

@EricMHancox @hanshotf1rst @sailemptyskies @Endeavourov1 @CovenantReform2 @dmichaelclary What does that mean exactly, to exercise “authority over” you? Does your pastor tell you who you should marry aside from relating the wisdom found in scripture?...

@jdenehar Thanks for sharing your thoughts and chiming in. What are the specific husband/wife roles you are referring to? How do those apply to singles? what authority does your pastor and elders have? Can they tell you what kind of car you shoul...

@ich1ban123456 @sailemptyskies @B_Christs_Amb The truth of the resurrection is surely a doctrine we must believe; it is fundamental to the Christian faith! Doctrine is truth and simply refers to the teachings of Christ. We see no specific person (a...

@ich1ban123456 @TemAleSaEliTa @Kdubtru Well, it shows that the authority is in God’s Word, not the vessel. This doesn’t prove women can be pastors, but it should make you think why God would restrict godly women with exemplary character who are gift...

@clbolt Yes, that’s right. If a woman has the requisite godly character traits listed in 1 Tim 3 and God has gifted her to teach or pastor and has placed the desire on her for this difficult role, she should not be excluded simply because she is a w...

@RandallVaughn14 @AlanChilde36050 @Moonwood570 @5Solas2 I have a question to ask you: what authority does a pastor have? If he tells you to do something that contradicts the Bible or violates your conscience, will you listen? If he says you cannot ...

@autocorrect2_0 @RealizeYour @markallison I don’t listen to the pastor or speaker because they speak with authority; I listen when they speak words that are faithful to the biblical text. When you witness to someone, do they only listen if you speak...

@Deigratia1985 @MikeWingerii Based on a careful study of the passages purported to restrict women, yes, I have come to the conclusion that scripture does not restrict women from serving in leadership—teaching, pastoral and oversight roles are availab...

@scribe_ezra I hear you. But Jesus says 2 or 3. I don’t think He made a mistake in His words. He says it again in both verses 19 and 20. If He is referring to a church gathering, would that mean that one of the two must be an elder or pastor? Or...

@Michael_B_1970 @NormalGuy3090 @AlexisAdcock5 @Oneiorosgrip @RealPaulElam Matt 1

@eltrucker87 @wbigs2001 @smashbaals Yes, he’s an apostle. Indeed, the qualifications are inspired from God and not just made up by Paul. But if a pastor or elder of overseer or bishop must be married and have multiple believing children, that means...

Matthew 18:20 "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them." This verse is often quoted to convey Jesus' presence in any gathering of believers. Often pastors want to encourage people to not forsake gathering together, but we hav...

@JayTibbs23 While I disagree that women are not to be pastors, I appreciate this

@The_Wry_Griot @haymes_joshua What makes you believe pastors are hammers? Proverbs 15:1 - "A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” Colossians 4:6 - "Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may...

@eltrucker87 @wbigs2001 @smashbaals We were taking about elders/overseers/bishops/pastors not apostles. But you said Paul was an apostle and not an elder. I showed you scripture that an apostle can be both an apostle and an elder. The text literal...
