@pauldirks @pj_schreiner Are you of the persuasion that these differences you see in males and females will persist into the next age where there is no marriage or giving in marriage (nor procreation)? Second: would you consider 1 Cor 6:2-3 to apply...

@bwebaptist There is no basis in Genesis for this. There is only ONE image of God and it isn’t divided amongst male and female but fully represented in each individual. https://t.co/9wdw07XZl1

As many of you rightly noted, Genesis 1:26-27 is unequivocal that both the man and the woman are created in God's image. Let's take a look at this passage again to make this certain. Before we do, in Gen 5:2, we are told that "[God] created them ma...

Video 5 will cover Galatians 3:28 ('no male or female in Christ') — the egalitarian 'trump card.'

Series overview and roadmap

Gal 3:28 egalitarian proof text no male or female
Mike Winger idea 2022-03-14

Overview of Genesis 1-3 as the focus of this video, covering the fall and creation and what they say about men's and women's roles.

Series introduction and framing

Gen 1-3 creation and fall
Mike Winger idea 2022-03-14

Three-section outline: Genesis 1 (foundational, little disagreement), Genesis 2 (longest section, most debated), and Genesis 3 (the fall and the curse).

Video structure overview

Gen 2 Gen 3 Gen 1
Mike Winger idea 2022-03-14

Genesis 1:26-28 read and analyzed: the Hebrew word 'adam' refers to mankind (male and female), not just the male.

Genesis 1 analysis -- the creation passage

adam Gen 1:26-28 mankind terminology
Mike Winger idea 2022-03-14

Male and female are both made in God's image -- the highest statement about human value, foundational to the debate.

Genesis 1 analysis -- imago Dei

image of God Gen 1:27 human dignity
Mike Winger idea 2022-03-14

Dominion in Genesis 1 is given to both male and female together -- the first mention of human authority in the Bible includes women.

Genesis 1 analysis -- shared dominion

Gen 1:28 dominion shared authority
Mike Winger idea 2022-05-30

1 Corinthians 11 gives rules for how women should prophesy in public gatherings; Acts 2 / Joel 2 declares sons and daughters shall prophesy

Key NT evidence that women prophesied publicly in church gatherings.

Mike Winger idea 2022-06-20

Greek construction difference: 'kai' instead of 'nor' for male and female, alluding to Genesis 1:27

Mike provides grammatical background on the Greek text of Galatians 3:28.

Galatians 3:28 Genesis 1:27 Galatians 3:28 kai Genesis 1:27
Mike Winger idea 2022-06-20

Alternative explanation for the Genesis allusion: women do not need to marry a circumcised man to be fully in Christ

Mike offers what he sees as a better explanation for the male/female and Genesis connection in Galatians.

Galatians 3:28 Galatians 3:28 circumcision judaizers
Mike Winger idea 2022-06-20

Westfall's equivalence claim: male/female parallels Jew/Greek in the same ways

Mike engages Westfall's key methodological claim.

Galatians 3:28 Galatians 3:28 Cynthia Long Westfall Jew/Greek parallel
Mike Winger idea 2022-06-20

Jewish rabbis used similar 'no male and female' language without implying role obliteration

Mike cites ancient Jewish parallels to demonstrate the phrase's cultural meaning was narrower than egalitarians claim.

Exodus Rabbah Beshallach 21:4 Ben Witherington III Madeleine Boucher Seder Eliahu Rabbah 7
Mike Winger idea 2022-06-20

The culture would not have read 'no male and female' as abolishing role distinctions

Mike draws the conclusion from the Jewish parallels.
