@Toneskeee @Sewakiryang Why do you think head means hierarchy? No leader, pastor, elder, apostle is ever called head—only husbands.

@ronhenzel Well, that the LXX itself is not inspired is true, though we can say the same about any translation. We do know Jesus and His apostles quoted from it (included in the NT) and they followed the LXX wording. Also, Isa 3:12 condemns unjust r...

@electri29693332 @SayvilleDavid @smashbaals There is only one head, not two. Head doesn’t mean leader else a pastor, apostle, elder or deacon would be called head but that isn’t the case. Only husband

@AntiWokeEvil @BishopJaxi None of that was taught by the Apostles and it is the teaching of Jesus and the Apostles that is authoritative, not the so-called church fathers.

@CS_Bodan @smashbaals No, head isn’t about authority or hierarchy but about source relationships. This is why a pastor or apostle or prophet or any kind of leader in the church is never called the head of anyone. It is only the husband to his wife. M...

@MarkAnthonyNel4 @rightresponsem If you can’t see your view is probably incorrect, I’m not sure what else can be done. I will try… If the second coming already happened in AD 70, then several prophecies Jesus and the apostles gave must have failed: ...

@sl4Yahweh I understand this view. I just don’t see this anywhere in scripture.

@King_Brody @LukeBennerE On the latter, have you read the letter to Philemon? Paul doesn’t command Philemon as an apostle but appeals to him in love. His appeal is that, now that Onesimus is a brother in Christ, Philemon should treat him as he would ...

@YesThatCollin @jaaonpe @Eric_Conn @iliketopreach I agree that God did not make the wife the head. But head in scripture does not mean the authority over or boss of someone. Also, isn't it curious to you that no one except a husband is called a head...

@eri89494 @CherylSchatz Further, your claim is that because Paul was an apostle to the Gentiles that he wasn’t one of the 12. However, Paul was a Jew just like the others and he always went to the Jew first in every area he went to and only when the ...

@Here4Now0829 Nice catch on Judas! Indeed the word used is the same as in 1Ti 3:1 and Tit 1:7, though this was before the church. However, from this you could infer that all of the 12 apostles were overseers (and thus elders). However, that you had ...
