@IsaiahofNZ @MikeWingerii One more thing—Mike says that the issue of whether women can be pastors or not is secondary despite his strong beliefs. All I’m saying is that Mike needs to treat secondary a

@MikedAlamo @ronhenzel I’m seeking to confuse ‘the teaching’? Interesting that you have access to my intentions. I’m asking complementarians the questions I have on this text, exactly as stated, which complementarians need to consider in trying to c...

@BornAgainMissy Now isn’t that interesting! “All scripture is God breathed…” —bu

@AletheiaHS @ManassehRJones @subq @immrbloo The Bible assumes that we are the originators of our own belief or unbelief, though God does get involved to blind or harden someone in their unbelief because of their persistence. Salvation is grace given...

@AletheiaHS @ManassehRJones @subq @immrbloo Belief is the response of a man's will to God's Word and conviction, yes. God is a God of convincing not coercion. And He doesn't use love potion to override our wills⎯what kind of love is it if God forced ...

@Glory2God777 @ManassehRJones @AletheiaHS @subq @immrbloo On what basis do you make the claim that I'm just giving lip service &amp; living in unbelief? I am simply saying that your claim doesn't match up with scripture. That Christ's faith is give...

@Conscientious43 @_jonbowlin However, that there is a great multitude of believers who come out of the tribulation does not mean that God doesn’t rapture the church prior to the tribulation. Both are true. Yet many come to belief in the tribulation a...

@Matthew56193629 @BretArrigo @sher_qw @mtnhousewife Matthew, read it again—everyone heard the word and everyone believed and everyone was baptized. Who was saved without hearing, believing or being baptized? If they were saved *by his belief* then ...

@mtnhousewife @Matthew56193629 Is this a Biblical belief you hold? Just curious.

@MaineMinistry I wanted to be a part of each of these churches but then it becam

@MaineMinistry @MikeWingerii Yes, I think unity of the church is very important to Jesus so we should only divide when absolutely necessary. It’s not that differences in beliefs and false teachings don’t cause harm—they do, but what is the harm of ca...

@A11en_Thomas @HomelyHearth @BICBCI73 @abarefootmomma They are both. As a cult,

@BICBCI73 @abarefootmomma The LDS teach that Jesus is the spirit-brother of Lucifer, that there is really no difference between us and Jesus except time and that one day other LDS men will be like Jesus on their own planet and be their saviour. Thes...

@ymmotrojam Yes, there are those who are false. But the scripture is clear that

@JRowley11 @DustyDeevers You mean like laws against murder and theft? Traffic laws? Assault? Yes, of course. However, there should be no law against fornication, lust or even changing one’s gender or requiring belief in the God of the Bible. Laws ag...

@Methodios007 I don't think you will accept any answer. You have your belief and

@carol66944 @Manny_Clay1 It's not a hierarchy. It was Adam's transgression that was problematic and Paul tells us why: he wasn't deceived. Paul said: "Yet I was shown mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief" (1Ti 1:13). This is not the case with...

@geekyguyjay @MikeWingerii I assume he thinks he’s right and that it matters and

@JamesGaius @Whatsinaname41 @ZacharyGarris @Eric_Conn I am unable to find anywhere where Conn explicitly says it is wrong for a mother to take authority over her adult male children, but he might be avoiding it because it follows from his beliefs. Ma...

@Whatsinaname41 @JamesGaius @ZacharyGarris @Eric_Conn I actually think that Patriarchalists should be allowed to follow their beliefs and conscience on this debatable matter. Some women are patriarchal and we shouldn’t force them to be otherwise. Bu...

@jtdxn_ Well, Stephen Wolfe’s kind of legislation appears to block those who disagree with him since he blocked me. So he doesn’t act like someone who believes in freedom of speech. Would he legislate his own particular Christian beliefs and criminal...

@jtdxn_ @gxp11 @MikeWingerii I say our morality because it depends on a belief in and submission to the God of the Bible. It’s not subjective, but it’s not our job to legislate nonbelievers to repent. The government may or may not affirm LGBTQ. It s...

@StanfieldBrent1 @Robert_S_Morley @ronhenzel @Idolkiller I think we have to be careful as faith or belief is hidden and internal. Evidences are external. Confession is an evidence. The Bible is clear that God saves those who put their faith in Him. ...

@StanfieldBrent1 @Robert_S_Morley @ronhenzel @Idolkiller Yes, sometimes it happe

@MackDonahue @MikeWingerii As far as demanding that egalitarians repent of their beliefs this would be like telling paedobaptists to repent of baptizing babies. This would fall under the category of grace for differences with the goal of teaching to...

@ronhenzel This is not necessarily true. As an egalitarian, I believe I am following inspired scripture more closely than when I was a comp. That said, if the belief is that the Bible is clearly against women in leadership and one purposely goes aga...

@carol66944 @EkIesou @ronhenzel I see you have multiple replies but I want to focus here. Where did you get the idea that Adam sinned in unbelief? If that was so, why didn’t Paul tell us that? Paul simply says he was not deceived. So he believed wha...

@MikedAlamo @MikeWingerii The WCF says nothing about women and leadership. I’d be willing to live at peace within the context of a complementarian church as I have for many years (which means I may share my views on certain passages but not in a divi...

@4shaws1 @MikeWingerii Where does God command women to not pastor? I'm questioning your reading comprehension, not your primary beliefs. You can stay a complementarian⎯I'm fine with that, but if you think I'm sinning and want to follow Mike's advic...

@MikeWingerii @Crystalisives @CherylSchatz @ryancduff @will_servant @CharmyRosew

@RoyGoorman @MikeWingerii Do you have your theology 100% perfect? I'd argue that everyone likely has some amount of false beliefs that they are just likely unaware of (or they'd fix them). In this case, I have studied it carefully. To say that egal ...

@CherylSchatz @wichman_matthew I think he thinks he's trying to be nice to egali

@AverageSc0t @MikeWingerii Your last statement is absolutely imperative. That said, I see absolutely no reason to "repent" of my egalitarian beliefs and I'm not calling complementarians to repent of theirs. I think, however, that when it results in ...

Mike says we should have grace on secondary topics, but then calls egalitarians

@mvpompa Listen to the last 15 minutes—Mike is very evangelistic about his belie

@LynnCDell2 @AbidingInLove_ @ronhenzel @Duke456521 Some of us only know scripture on these things and are not experts on Augustine or Pelagius. Please, if someone wants to claim a belief is heretical, just make the claim and use scripture—or quote Pe...

There are protestants who hold to the same belief, but it's not Biblical. Unfortunately, the Roman Catholic Church is wrong on this one too. The church is the body of Christ. "Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it" (1C...

@EddieBucha10986 But my belief that God doesn’t forbid women is on Biblical grounds. I’m not ignoring anything in the Bible. To block godly, qualified and gifted women from serving as leaders would go against what I believe the Bible teaches and ther...

@Jgallagher1958 @ronhenzel Who is Paul speaking to here when he says “you stand

@Redsabr @cjonesaudio @paulogia0 It’s the immaterial conscious eternal entity that is put in your body by God at conception. That’s my belief based on Biblical statements, however, so I don’t expect you to agree. However, you can see evidence suppor...

@terryne02461221 @Vestwitt @HwsEleutheroi I was reflecting your beliefs. Didn't

@terryne02461221 @Vestwitt @HwsEleutheroi The Watchtower teaches a ‘life force’ that is gone when you die (cease to exist). The scripture indicates that our spirit lives beyond the death of our body: The belief in the spirit or soul's existence bey...

@WomnOfValor It depends on what you mean by this. Holding to the intended meaning of the Bible especially with respect to the foundation beliefs concerning the gospel, sin and the nature of God and man would certainly not be immature because these a...

@Thygar @masonmennenga Paul put Christians to death. That’s not on my rap sheet. "even though I was previously a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent aggressor. Yet I was shown mercy **because I acted ignorantly in unbelief**; and the grace o...

@pauldirks @DeeGoingsGirl @KaeleyT This shows that you think Christ changes a woman **through** the husband. Paul—as respectfully as I can say it, this is a recipe for disaster. If it seems to be working for you, that is by the grace of God or perh...

@ronhenzel @YouHaveFought It’s good to be passionate and of course we wouldn’t hold to a belief if we didn’t really think it was true. It’s also hard to change your beliefs. Further, one may have a lot of followers or may get removed from your chur...
