@beherleader @FoundersMin @tomascol @conservmillen Yes, that is the verse separate from its context. What does Paul mean by that statement? https://t.co/zkbRDwQoSZ

@BlackSheepPickl @MikeWingerii Titus 2:5 does say wives are to hypotasso their husbands. I didn’t say that wives are not to do this, only that Eph 5:21 says all are to do this to one another showing that it’s not a gendered hierarchical authority str...

@StothersRyan @Maheshburad1 The problem with Witherington’s assumption is that this passage is about authority of one person over another in worship. It is not. I challenge you to interpret v10. The NASB has “symbol of” but this is not in the Greek. ...

@StothersRyan @Maheshburad1 I am not saying that kephale never conveys the idea of authority in any context. Regarding 2 Sam 22:44, David is not the King of the whole world. Does he set the policy of all the nations around him? Or is God simply makin...

@Dan_NY_Giants As soon as you assume this is about authority, you have a problem. But it’s not about authority. It’s about “standing under” the other, even children, lifting them up to do what’s best for them. You trade your own personal desires to s...

@SimonReye @TWFtrish @ronhenzel @TarienCole Rom 16:2 is clear—Paul is appealing that they *help her* in whatever matter she requires for “she herself has also been a helper of many.” A leader is someone who oversees volunteers for service projects. T...

From tweet to text, our clash began, On female leads, the church's ban. You veered, citing division's role, I argued context, seeking whole. Yet 'context' turned a foggy screen, Your counter, circular and lean. In verses brief, our saga told, A danc...

@PrayTh3Rosary @LilaGraceRose I’m egalitarian but I’m not liberal or modernist.

@PrayTh3Rosary @LilaGraceRose The church fathers were not I fallible interpreters of scripture. While we can learn from what they wrote and consider their reasons if they provide them, we have to always point back to scripture as the authority. Unfor...

@AsherJacob23060 @ronhenzel I see many cases of women leading in various capacities in the mission field. They are translating scripture, leading house churches, counselling men and women and generally doing the hard work of discipling and putting th...

@ronhenzel @trapatonzi @UGOOTWEETS I agree with you that the genitive of aner is with respect to authentein and not gyne in 1Ti 2:12. Now that I have my facts straight 😅, everything is in order because the context gives us the clues required to under...

@ronhenzel I'm not in way over my head, but you are correct that my suggestion was a mistake. I appreciate your pointing out that the genitive in this case as the object of authentein (which we know is for sure) cannot then also be applied in a subje...

@ronhenzel Also, I believe that 1Ti 2:12 is actually properly translated: "But I do not allow a wife to teach or 'authentein' her husband, but to remain quiet." It's about a specific wife (the 'the woman' in 1Ti 2:14 and the 'she' in 1Ti 2:15) and he...

@baste_goblin That’s correct. God does not create gender hierarchy of authority

@LynnCDell2 @ronhenzel Glad that you said this! So what then is this authority o

@LynnCDell2 @ronhenzel Whatever the case, if the teaching is Biblical, then all⎯including the men, including the apostles⎯all must submit. If it unbiblical, then no matter what authority the person thinks they have, you are not required to submit (ie...

@ronhenzel @LynnCDell2 Jesus spoke clearly against the kind of authority it seems people are advocating for. It is against that authority over anyone. “The kings of the Gentiles *exercise lordship* over them; and those who *exercise authority* over ...

@TWFtrish @ronhenzel @NBidnz Or it makes it about hierarchies of authority which

@LynnCDell2 @ronhenzel There we go again—judicial authority. This is all about authority of one gender over the others or hierarchy of authority within the church which is what Jesus spoke against clearly to his apostles. And curiously you say that w...

@LynnCDell2 @ronhenzel If that’s the meaning then it presumes this is all about hierarchy of authority which is not something we get from Jesus at all who says things like “it is not to be this way among you” showing that this kind of understanding i...

@LynnCDell2 @ronhenzel If you miss Paul’s connection with Adam and Eve and how death entered the human race then the Attic usage of “to commit murder of one’s kin by one’s own hand” seems out of place. You are assuming this is just about leadership t...

@ronhenzel The authority to teach has already been given by Jesus to all believe

@ronhenzel Paul doesn’t indicate Junia had teaching authority? The list of those

@ronhenzel @TWFtrish @NBidnz Ok. But every single believer already has the authority given by Christ himself to teach all nations everything that Jesus commanded and taught his disciples. Perhaps you mean that a person is recognized as sound in the ...

@ronhenzel @TWFtrish @NBidnz Remind me again—what exactly does an “authoritative

@ronhenzel I see. Appealing to authority are we? While I appreciate that much training and accreditation should mean they have good reasoning, but this is not always the case. I would much rather see their reasons listed so I can evaluate them, then ...

@ronhenzel Thanks for the history lesson. Disqualifying every movement that allowed women in leadership is important for you it seems. It doesn’t bother me because my argument isn’t based on history but on the Bible itself. Because history is not ou...

@will_servant This is true. Though this letter is Paul describing how HE should act (1 Tim 3:15), so even then it’s not quite what they think. This is about Paul instructing Timothy on how to ensure the false teaching is properly dealt with which inc...

@AlexioBasinium @jold_92 @BasedTorba @AmandaTylerBJC Not sure what church you are thinking of…but I’m referring to the church at Ephesus under Paul and Timothy, or the church at Corinth, for example. For these, we go to the letters from Paul to deter...

@jold_92 @BasedTorba @AmandaTylerBJC Ah, I see. Apostolic authority means the 12 apostles. Paul was chosen by Jesus, so we might argue 12+1 since the apostles chose someone to replace Judas. All that happened with the books included in the canon was...

@KimberleeJayneW @MikeWingerii @DoctrinesofRad I understand as this is the typical model where only the pastor and maybe a worship leader speaks. If you are serious that you “do not need to hear from people” then why do you even need a pastor to spea...
