@ronhenzel @Grump_Old_Man @Robert_S_Morley @smashbaals Why is preaching authorized by the church? Why would I stop someone from Preaching the truth if God is using them and they are sound in the faith

@GarrettBWood We are not talking about the characteristics of motherhood or fatherhood but the idea that the wife submits to the husband and is not free to lead or shepherd even if God gifts her with

@dmichaelclary @jdgreear If I understand you correctly… So—if the church is full of African believers, we don’t intentionally bring in a white person to lead. We look around us to find those sound in the faith, mature, with evidenced character and w...

@StephenStaedtl1 @baste_goblin @DelaKram75 Ah, so now it’s a “because I said so”

@AaronCReale However, if we are going to pick various characteristics, since are all unique individuals, in the limit, you have one “kind” for each individual which is obviously silly. God doesn’t determine salvation by statistics and characteristic...

@DustyMayT @Torncurtainorg @NateSchlomann You are completely correct. I don't think there is anyway to characterize Deborah as not being the highest "spiritual and otherwise" authority in the land. She heard directly from God and conveyed God's will ...

@JimmyParker87 @RevChrisDavis I appreciate you asking this question. The emphasis in scripture is on character, gifting, desire and soundness in the faith. It is not on whether one is male or female and it certainly says nothing like it is a sin for ...

@ronhenzel @pastherandie @ymmotrojam @kriesese @smashbaals The Bereans weren't j

@SKokenos @smashbaals A disciple will eventually be a discipler of others. Whether or not they become full time pastors or not is not the concern. There are no limitations except those based on character and being sound in the faith. Even Moses sai...

@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...

@StevenMKestner If they have the requisite character, able to teach, are sound i

@avyargo @plumlee_ann @MikeWingerii The Bible doesn't tell anyone to "hold authority." Women are certainly told to teach and shown to teach others. No one is called pastor in the New Testament except Jesus Himself. Anyone who forbids women from full...

@peace_got @Robert_S_Morley @JollyStine @MargMowczko @pastherandie @CharmyRosewolf @JoanBandy @MikeWingerii Actually, authority to lead and teach comes directly from Jesus and is given to all in Matt 28:18-20. Leaders in the church must have characte...

@peace_got @ScottCross_8 @pastherandie @5pur5y @CharmyRosewolf @JoanBandy @MikeWingerii Elders are servants not masters to be served. Qualifying is related to character and ability. The only difference between elder and deacon is the ability to teac...

@ymmotrojam @ronhenzel @peace_got @MikeWingerii Paul makes a very strong statement in 1Co 14:37 that if anyone disregards (to disregard v. — to refuse to acknowledge) the Lord’s commands as given by Paul in the beginning of ch14, then that person is ...

@RahabTheHarlot2 @OperHealAmerica OHA says a teacher and office of overseer are very different. I asked, "In what way?" Overseers are to be able to teach and have sound character and a life consistent with the teachings...and of course desire to serv...

@Grump_Old_Man Egalitarian doesn't mean equal outcomes. It simply means not considering their sex when looking at their character and competence and desire. If they are qualified to lead, they should be permitted. This isn't a numbers game suggestin...

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

@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 ...

@KimberleeJayneW @MikeWingerii @DoctrinesofRad I’m not sure how old Timothy was, but he was young. It is about maturity and character, not necessarily age. “Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in lo...

@KimberleeJayneW @will_servant The way that they are the same is that skin color and your sex are things you are born with and can’t change. These immutable characteristics are not things that prevent someone from leading, teaching, or whatever task ...

@ball_dummy @William_E_Wolfe You’re tired of it so it’s dishonest? The qualifying language has to do with character, not with the idea that the person must be a husband with multiple children since even Paul is unmarried and encouraged people to rem...

@Richard89885354 Yes, I know that there are qualified women which is clear because they meet the character qualities Paul noted and it is evident by the gifting the Holy Spirit has given them. I have thoroughly studied the scriptures on this, so I’m ...

@JacobPaul432 @MikeWingerii 38.9 hours plus mentions in his lives/QAs. I’ve watched them (some multiple times). He invites criticism and response, but doesn’t respond. He likes to find all sorts of bad arguments and mischaracterizes the good ones ...

@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...

@kelcy_lowry @MrRoyMcAvoy @The_Wry_Griot @JonnyRoot_ You have not once “contended” with me. You only say I’m wrong and comment on my character and motives. Maybe if you actually contended with me we would get somewhere? Ah, but you are not allowed...

@DeeGoingsGirl @pauldirks @KaeleyT “But many who are first will be last; and the last, first.” (Matt 19:30) The fact that people make Gal 3:26-29 about eternity only is unjustified. What we are doing now is preparing us for eternity. And those who...

@kelcy_lowry @JeremyMBauman @hamillaaron @MarkGrote You are free to share your opinions without substantiating them if you choose, but the fact that we disagree is already on the table. Also, treating women as equal in that those of godly character ...

@NathanFinochio @MikeWingerii I think it’s a mischaracterization to say complementarians hate women. They see them as equals but treat them as having a subservient role to males at least while on this earth and believe that this is the Biblical mode...

@pauldirks @KaeleyT @rockyredpanda That’s sounds like a very different way of characterizing this than a sin issue. By the way, my mom used to make my sandwiches when I was younger but when I grew up I started making my own. What’s the deal with ma...

@dougponder Short answer is no women elders? On the contrary, Paul outlays **ch

@ChristVictorous An elder is simply someone who has exemplary and proven godly character, is able to handle the Word rightly, is capable of teaching, patient when contradicted, able to deal gently with those who contradict and correct false teaching,...

@PauleyMo67 That’s quite a mischaracterization of what the women said. Luke 24:5-7, 9: “In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, ‘Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he...

@ich1ban123456 @TemAleSaEliTa @Kdubtru Let’s move on from the donkey. Why would

@ich1ban123456 @TemAleSaEliTa @Kdubtru Well, it shows that the authority is in God’s Word, not the vessel. This doesn’t prove women can be pastors, but it should make you think why God would restrict godly women with exemplary character who are gift...

@clbolt Yes, that’s right. If a woman has the requisite godly character traits listed in 1 Tim 3 and God has gifted her to teach or pastor and has placed the desire on her for this difficult role, she should not be excluded simply because she is a w...

@Deigratia1985 @MikeWingerii Based on a careful study of the passages purported to restrict women, yes, I have come to the conclusion that scripture does not restrict women from serving in leadership—teaching, pastoral and oversight roles are availab...

@nevermindlind @smashbaals You are assuming the conclusion. The great commission is to make disciples and the early churches were not mega church buildings with special pulpits but house churches. In what sense is a woman who has the requisite char...
