@Reneechop Note that Paul also says that an entire church consisting of men and women can be deceived like Eve. Yes, men can be deceived too. What causes one to be deceived and another not to? Paul tells us the reason in 1Ti 2:13⎯ ”For it was Adam...

@HollandGreig This takes us back to the same letter in 1Cor 6:2-3. Paul says the saints will judge the world and angels. Saints includes both men and women. If we will judge angels, then we ought to be able to judge matters of this life. Thus, "be...

@LordFerguson09 @Dankrightanon Notice "anyone" not "any male." "one woman man" is an idiom referring to character, not being married or male (Paul wasn't married nor did he have children and wasn't disqualified). Implied pronouns are male but this is...

@danitreweek I don’t see why complementarian doesn’t mean that men and women are

@CaptainDavidA @rigginout @smashbaals Also, Paul thinks that an entire church could be deceived like Eve (see 2Co 11:3). This shows unequivocally that both men and women can be deceived in the same way as Paul did not differentiate that it was only t...

@uav_guy_79 @harmonizedgrace Can a slave be exercising authority over the one they are serving? Isn't it obvious that if Jesus "empties Himself by taking the form of a bond-servant" and we (both men and women) are to emulate His posture, that we ough...

@BdtKim There are no gender role differences related to submission or authority.

@PatrickHen1776 @AJMxya @harmonizedgrace 3000 years? I think not because the the apostles didn’t restrict women and think that only wives submit. Further, many godly men and women have been wrong in the past…all the more if they are following what t...

@FreeAme19691836 The only head of the church is Jesus. It is because men and women are created differently that we need to work together. “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may p...

@OrthodoxBarbie Great article! “Men and women, husbands and wives, mothers and fathers should not be framed as competitors in ministry or the home. The 93% myth is used to accuse men of failing in their spiritual duties and to accuse women of usurpi...

@SpecterAndBride @LoammiCB @tigereyes1972 @Brian_Sauve First, the text doesn't say that a woman's long hair is her covering but that hair is given as a substitute for coverings (and both men and women generally have hair). Brian says that verse 6 gr...

@PastorRobMonroe @KaeleyT @megbasham Wow, I’m glad you don’t think that hair length affects one’s eternity!! Yes, men and women are different. Complementary would be a word I might choose, but a group that thinks there is gender hierarchy co-opted t...

@PastorRobMonroe @KaeleyT @megbasham Is John the Baptist shamed because he was a nazarite from birth and therefore couldn’t cut his hair like Samson? Even Paul took a Nazarite vow and in numbers both men and women could take the vow. The vow involves...

@stablecross @MikeWingerii What do you mean it’s both/and? How can you have male primacy or priority and say that women are equally valued? Egalitarians still believe that there are differences between men and women, both physically and in the way e...

@carol66944 @EkIesou @ronhenzel I didn’t say the certain ones are the “men and women” in chapter 2 but the “a wife” and “a husband” in 1Ti 2:11-15. Only “she” will be saved (because she is the one deceived and fallen away from the faith) if “they”—t...

@ThomasPurell @sailemptyskies @andrewjritchie @MikeWingerii If you think that egalitarians are saying that men are supposed to have babies, then no wonder you reject it. It’s a straw man. We believe men and women are complementary too, and they comp...

@freedom4alltime There is certainly a worldly form of feminism that is not healthy. All of us are supposed to be willing to lay down our rights and even our own desires to serve one another, and that should apply equally to men and women (see Phil 2)...

@aflawedmanofGod @sailemptyskies @M_Jensen23 @ortrails @goteamcarr Well, it goes back further than you think. The Waldensiens which were pre-Luther welcomed both men and women ministers. But history is not the greatest guide. If you are a Protesta...

@TaompsonTaomson Many including men and women don’t know the scriptures well enough to teach it to others. Understanding itself is not restricted to only males. Priscilla and Aquila taught Apollos (Acts 18:27). So she clearly understood the script...

@trulyheisrisen @ortrails @goteamcarr Treating men and women as equally capable of leading is not feminism just as it is not masculism. That's why it is called egalitarian. Whether you are complementarian or egalitarian should not matter when it co...

@pauldirks @KaeleyT Yes, Christ sacrificed to save His bride but His bride consists of both men and women who are in turn called to lay down their lives for one another. Laying down one’s life is not a gendered requirement. And women sacrifice thei...
