Three commitments: (1) Mike will not submit scripture to culture — neither progressive nor conservative cultural pressure.

Three things Mike will NOT do in this series

hermeneutics scripture and culture Southern California
Mike Winger idea 2022-03-14

The real point of 'leaving father and mother' is that the marriage relationship takes priority over the parental relationship.

Mike Winger idea 2022-03-14

Primogeniture in Hebrew culture: the firstborn had greater authority; older people had more leadership -- this cultural context is key to reading Genesis 2.

Cultural background for Schreiner's creation order argument

Mike Winger idea 2022-03-14

Craig Blomberg's quote: ancient Jews accustomed to primogeniture would likely have seen Adam being made first as a sign of privilege.

Jason in Acts 17:5-9 does not prove host-as-leader; shows external cultural accountability only

Acts 17:5-9 hosting vs. leading Jason Acts 17:5-9
Mike Winger idea 2022-04-13

Women were church planters and evangelists; laboring 'in the gospel' points to evangelism

Mike draws positive conclusions about women's ministry scope from the terminology.

Warning against fence-sitting on divisive issues
