@spriteworks @smashbaals Where are you getting that from, the Old Testament? In that case, pastors have to be Levites. All believers form a kingdom of priests. https://t.co/2crysd8yKJ

@MICAH_SIXEIGHT Ok, let's get back to something more relevant to male/female... the husband has a six pack and the musculature of an ape. But he should forgive and love his wife and "not beat down his celly" but pray for her. Great! What does this h...

@HebronC777 @AJMxya @smashbaals My wife is the first level of provision for my children. In fact, I am unable to provide for my infant child’s earliest needs. And try harming her child and see whether she doesn’t think twice to protect the child and ...

@covapologetics Why are you saying I think being a ‘husband’ is irrelevant? I sa

You are absolutely correct that while there is gender inclusive language, we cannot ignore any gender-specific qualifications and we have to read Paul carefully and precisely—this I have done as I am aiming to make sense of the syntax and all relevan...

@IemSparticus @harmonizedgrace Eph 5:21 does not limit submission to specific “lesser-greater” relationships; this is your imposed framework. The participle “ὑποτασσόμενοι” is reciprocal. Paul applies mutual submission to marital dynamics, elevatin...

@JacobPaul432 @MikeWingerii From a high level, PSA seems to be a Calvinistic doctrine where the Father punishes the Son. I reject this and I am not one of the liberals that Mike refers to. Rather, the Father was IN Christ reconciling the world to Hi...

@mtnhousewife Referring to your prior content is totally fine by me. I do that w

@WayfarerAbdul @harmonizedgrace The issue with wives is that most see themselves as property or house slaves and so they serve out of duty rather than like they do to Christ—out of love. Paul wants to elevate their relationship to be like how they se...

@KaeleyT @pauldirks If you haven't seen it, I made a lengthy response to a threa

@jgrams90 @TomBuck Wives were treated like property so they were subjected like a slave to a master. Paul is elevating the wife to instead submit out of love like she does to Christ. That does not exclude the husband’s need to subject himself also in...

@9999stacker @AlypiusThe_Wild @smashbaals Ex 2:1-2⎯Of Moses, it is written: "Now a man *from the house of Levi* went and took as his wife a Levite woman. The woman conceived and bore a son, and when she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him three...

@RichardFinke69 @spencer_newell @MikeWingerii Tribe of Levi was Old Testament —there were no female priests in the old covenant. Priscilla is my favourite early church mother and apostle. If you don’t accept her, then Junia. The ecumenical councils...

@Tailfeathers_WA @MikeWingerii I just realized I missed responding to a bunch of replied. I guess I got drowned in notifications at the time. Sorry. Level two issues can cause problems, but you don't repent unless it is a sin. Mike is calling egalit...

@BoilerLevi @KaeleyT For a perspective which I think aligns with all the details

@BoilerLevi @KaeleyT As an egalitarian, I’ve gotten along well in complementarian churches, though maybe it’s because my wife doesn’t feel led to preach or join the elders. Some comp churches won’t allow me to join the leadership team just for disagr...

@theBaxterian @carol66944 @ronhenzel Because I believe Paul is correcting a problem with the way the wives are already subject to their husbands. There is likely a resentment rather than a serving like she serves Christ. It is meant to elevate her an...

@martyrian_slave @ronhenzel I realize that’s the common story. But v22 cannot be saying something that contradicts mutual submission. It’s leveling up how wives are submitting—rather than out of duty like a slave, willingly like to Christ. V23-24 are...

@ReformedCaio @ronhenzel In other words, this was an elimination of hierarchy or

@ReformedCaio @ronhenzel Excellent observation. Given wives were already being treated as property and slaves of their husbands, what do you think Paul’s intent was here? I think it was to elevate how they saw their service. Rather than a position o...

@amandafromtx @Naddildeaux Hm. I personally don’t see a problem with those jeans

@ravensfoodblog @MikeWingerii Further, it is not that the noun and verb forms are completely unrelated but that Winger’s contention that the noun was not used to mean murderer in Paul’s time fails because it’s clearly present in a text Paul was quoti...

@ravensfoodblog @MikeWingerii Ultimately our understanding of the Biblical text is not driven by how a couple of unrelated texts used the word but Paul’s context and meaning. Since Paul quotes from Wis Sol it is a more relevant text when assessing th...

@ravensfoodblog @MikeWingerii The idea that Paul’s use of an older word would be analogous to using King James-era English in modern speech to leverage its rich vocabulary is quite apt. It’s not about the typical audience but the precision and impact...

@BaldwinOfJ @samuel_costner @WokePreacherTV You are elevating 'the saints and church teaching' against the apostles' teaching? If it is consistent with the apostles' teaching in scripture, then it will stand the test and we can examine it against the...

@BaldwinOfJ @samuel_costner @WokePreacherTV Because 'Ryan says so'? By no means!

@avyargo The point is no one is elevating themselves in mutualism. Egalitarians

@avyargo @neecygrace @MikeWingerii Esther, Ruth, Hebrews. Bothers you that maybe a woman wrote one or all of those, eh? When you call me mental, it is the biggest encouragement because it means you are running out of things to say. If you want a hi...

@AVER735 Gen 4:7 has nothing to do with Eve and is a completely different context. Song of Solomon 7:10 is the relevant sense: “I am my beloved’s, and his desire is for me.” So you agree that the ground is cursed, not Adam or Eve? God never comman...

@ronhenzel @smashbaals Well, all but the churches in scripture. But you are right. The church really was influenced by the culture. Let’s see just how culturally relevant your view is: Aristotle: “Silence is a woman’s glory.” Sophocles: "Silence gi...

@PastorRobMonroe @KaeleyT @megbasham Actually, a priest could only be a Levite male without defect. So it was not even open to males of the other 11 tribes and should they try to serve as priests they would be judged. There is no distinction made in...

@David_Timothy17 @MikeWingerii Then why is he calling those who spread egalitarian teaching to repent? Why is he recommending female pastors to resign? Why is he advising his followers who go to egalitarian churches to leave loudly and take others wi...

@lunarCelerity @MikeWingerii Yes. The tendency is to look at clear scriptures which seem to include women even at the highest levels having authority over men, teaching men, etc., but then a few passages later which seem to contradict or have some de...

@peace_got @MikeWingerii The fact that we disagree is evident. But to presume it is because people don't read their Bibles is to presume your view is correct. Believe me when I say that I have read the relevant passages many times and extremely caref...
