@AletheiaHS @immrbloo "Garments were often given as presents. It was a special mark of honor to receive one that had been used by the giver, and kings sometimes showed their munificence by presenting them. (See Genesis 45:22 Changes of Raiment; 1 Sam...

@detfan10084382 @MarkGrote Hm. I thought family proceeded the church? At any rate, if what you are saying is the case, then we need to make sure that what we think is the way the church is setup is actually what God intended. Did God intend only Je...

@markaraggett @TimAAmor Jesus told Peter, “those that live by the sword will die by the sword.” It’s not the job of the church to start a “holy war” as you surely would have seen it against Rome in the first centuries of the church. We see instead be...

@butdustandashes @ReformedCaio @CherylSchatz @BrandonGra53760 @spencer_newell @MikeWingerii It’s more that Mark proved unreliable and maybe Barnabas favoured him as his relative. Paul wanted to take someone reliable on the trip as this was the wise t...

@PastorMark Maybe you remember the Proverbs 31 woman?

@PastorMark "But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever." (1Ti 5:8). The Greek word used here is "τις" (tis), which is a gender-neutral term ...

@PastorMark Well, not that getting married is bad. It’s good. But then Paul advocated for singleness. "I wish that all were as I myself am." (1Co 7:7) "To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is good for them to remain single as I am." (1Co 7...

@ryancduff @MarkGrote I think we are so driven by decontextualized snippets of information that it has infected how we read our Bibles. We read it as a collection of sayings rather than—in this case—letters written to a person into a context with spe...

@MarkGrote In 1Ti 2:12, the young and single Timothy is going to need to intervene in between a husband and wife (the wife is teaching heresy and the husband, likely an elder, is silent). To assist Timothy, he gives him his apostolic authority to hel...

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...

@ronhenzel @thecrazypastor In the following I clearly mark Paul’s usage of the contrastive ‘or’ (Greek: ἢ) in 1 Cor: 1Co 1:13 - "Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? *ἢ* were you baptized in the name of Paul?" 1Co 4:21 - "What do you wish...

@ronhenzel 1. Paul writes in 1Co 7:1, "Now concerning the things about which you wrote..." ⎯ since there are no quotation marks in the Greek manuscripts, any quotations are determined by the details in the context. Your statement that there's nothin...

@freemarketeer1 @DustyMayT @MikeWingerii What is a gross mischaracterization? Women are to be subordinate in the church in that if they feel called to teach (the authoritative scripture) or serve as a pastor, they have to remain subordinate to men (i...

@johnmarkallen @MikeWingerii You are correct that either can and have worked out. My question has to do with the fact that giving the husband a mandate to have authority over his wife creates the fertile ground for abuse. It’s probably why successfu...

@Robert_S_Morley @MargMowczko @peace_got @AlistairRobert7 @JollyStine @pastherandie @CharmyRosewolf @JoanBandy @MikeWingerii But Paul may be sparing putting her name for all time in his letter which he knows will form scripture. Paul speaks about tho...

@johnmarkallen @SolaChristus7 @haymes_joshua We have to note what specifically Paul is referring to about the first man and woman. He refers to the time sequence order and how it has something to do with one being deceived and one not deceived. This ...

@johnmarkallen @SolaChristus7 @haymes_joshua That’s right but the problem is only there if you don’t understand that Paul was not prohibiting godly women from teaching truth but only those who were teaching serious error. Why would he ever prohibit ...

@Crystalisives @NarnianAttorney @William34772026 @RSCharlton @MikeWingerii No they aren’t—Philip Payne is wrong on this and I’m disappointed. It is in every extant manuscript. Scribes recognized it wasn’t Paul’s words so they marked it or added notes...

@KodeshStorm @MikeWingerii Anything that we believe that is not true has some level of negative impact. But not all untruths constitute sin. The way you demark between what is sin and what isn't is whether it is a primary matter or secondary. The Bi...

@Markbhere2 @MikeWingerii I also appreciate Mike Winger. And I also agree with him on the vast majority of what he says. This issue is different and I’m not sure why. He does not treat egalitarians with the same grace and respect he treats others. An...
