@will_servant @William_E_Wolfe Yes, Jesus calls Peter to shepherd! Bravo! So here's the summary: 1⃣Poimen (shepherd/pastor): Peter, (Jesus) - Indirectly, all elders are to pastor 2⃣Presbyter (elder): Peter, John (self acclaimed) 3⃣Episkope (overseer...

@JamesPelton18 @William_E_Wolfe Yes, he did. But my point is that we don't have anyone specifically called a pastor. We can infer elder = overseer = shepherd = pastor, but when attempting to decide whether a woman is allowed to occupy this role, we...

@pastherandie Interesting…thanks for providing this reference! I’ll have to add it to my list. BTW, the title does a good job showing that women are working together with men, which is what I think egalitarian implies. Most people nowadays use femi...

@paulsfam4 You didn’t read the thread, did you? Just giving me the usual comp arguments, right? Paul’s grammar in 1 Tim 2:11-12 changes from all people, all men, all women, to a woman and a man. Then he uses “the woman” in v14 to clarify that “a w...

@pauldirks @SpeechWrx @NancyRPearcey I see. Maybe if men weren’t so hard headed (apparently by modern neuroscience, etc), I could actually get them to interact with my analysis on the passages on women. Scripture is what we have to at foundation go ...

@Richard89885354 @MarkGrote 1 Tim 3:11 “Women likewise…” then gives the same “restriction” of “must be one wife husband” and then in Rom 16 talks about female leaders and Phoebe who is clearly a deacon. Paul doesn’t use gendered pronouns, but things...

@BornAgainMissy @ryancduff @MarkGrote BTW, you do know that a shepherd is the same as a pastor in the New Testament, right? You may not be in any official position, but when comps allow women to function as pastors without having official titles, th...

@BornAgainMissy @ryancduff @MarkGrote If you are lumping egalitarians with gays and the slippery slope into apostasy, I understand that perspective. Many in the egal crowd have had a habit of using common sense and other passages showing women have b...

@skcmonastery @Protestia No, this is not what Paul is saying in 1 Cor 14:34-35 as he is quoting from the prior letter from the Corinthians! v36 says: "What? came the word of God out from you [men]? or came it unto you [men] only?” (KJV) The fact is...

@nouveau_merbe Right. That’s because you see women as a subspecies of human and

So faithful men have a fatal weakness? Unfaithful women (ie godly women who preach true doctrine or pastor a fellowship) are kryptonite to the complementarian supermen. This goes to show why getting your doctrine right is so important before drawin...

It’s a challenging passage, but it doesn’t take THAT long to show how 1 Tim 2:11

@TheMuppetPastor Egalitarian simply means treating men and women equally. It doesn’t mean prioritizing based on sex, but that a gifted and godly woman teaching true doctrine should not be excluded from leadership because she is a female. It doesn’t...

@bagby_abe @Protestia Paul is interacting with the letter the Corinthians wrote to him (see 1 Cor 7:1). If Paul was silencing women, then he’s contradicting himself: “For you can *all* prophesy one by one, so that *all* may learn and *all* may be e...

@ymmotrojam @Protestia Tom, your last statement that “if a church started to purposefully include women in [serving] roles…seem[s] to indicate that they are not focused on the gospel” is crazy! Having women openly serve means a church is not focused...

@LearningReason @itskellydiane @SummrWrites Interesting, I've never heard someone say that women have to cover their head in the privacy of their own bedroom while praying. That phrase "symbol of" is not in the Greek. It is added by translators who...

@UndyingLegend79 @TheMuppetPastor It’s because women wet being treated like property, baby machines and house slaves. The men were not really living their wives. So the wife resents her husband and no longer submits as she does to Christ. We are a...

@CSavedByGrace18 I’m glad that you believe women can share the gospel! The gospel is one of the most authoritative proclamations! If they can do this, why can’t godly women teach true doctrine inside the church?—yes, to other women and children, but...

This is one of the reasons l've been working so hard to shed light on the passag

@NaijaSkywalker @haymes_joshua That doesn't refer to all women teaching men. Us

@NaijaSkywalker @haymes_joshua I understand the need to protect our freedoms and sovereignty as a nation, but the church is not defended by flesh and blood and the church is not weakened by women assisting defending the faith and leading as strong le...

@MaxLuder @MarkGrote @JollyStine You don't get requirements by inferring intention. Paul includes women in vs11. However, there's a big difference between including and forbidding. For example, there are only two people explicitly called elders in...

@RiseRevolution5 @TeregianKunta Those are great texts. Ultimately we have ample proof that women occupied positions of authority, leadership and influence including over men. So what we need to do is explain these hard passages. And I believe I ha...

@Nathanor582613 @WomnOfValor Thanks for the comment. - Paul is clearly responding to the letter from the Corinthians (see 1 Cor 7:1). Since there are no quotes in the original manuscripts, how do we know where Paul is quoting? - Paul refers to the l...

@BiffSport @3HillsMinor @Rattle_Resists @Kdubtru @michael_ronning The only reason you say it is a twisting is because you are looking it from the pretzel of your own view which has women forbidden from teaching with men present! We know scripture ha...

@smashbaals Women are unqualified by an immutable characteristic? This sounds like going back to slavery to the law… "It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery." (Gal 5...

@smashbaals Maybe you are having trouble reading the Bible in context. No scholar would take one of the most contested passages and call it “clear.” Think about this: why do women need to be silent in church? Is it to protect vulnerable, weak men ...

@MrRoyMcAvoy @kelcy_lowry @The_Wry_Griot @JonnyRoot_ Are you suggesting I’m a false convert because I demonstrate a scriptural basis for godly women teaching true doctrine and pastoring? This is not a fundamental of the Christian faith. Can you poi...

@MarkGrote @Peacemaker811 @HbitsO @BethMooreLPM This assumes authentein means “usurp authority”—are men allowed to do that but women are not? Men are allowed hostile takeovers inspired by geneologies and false understanding of the law? Paul wasn’t ...
