@HvacRoar24011 No, that is incorrect. Ezekiel was taken to Babylon in the first deportation (around 597 BC, when Jehoiachin was exiled, cf. 2Ki 24:10-16). His prophetic ministry began in the fifth year of that exile (Eze 1:1–2), about 593 BC. He co...

@YesThatCollin @jaaonpe @Eric_Conn @iliketopreach I agree that God did not make the wife the head. But head in scripture does not mean the authority over or boss of someone. Also, isn't it curious to you that no one except a husband is called a head...

@thatwit45 @AF_Tugboater @LilaGraceRose You sound like you are making things up.

@The_War_Within_ @MikeWingerii That's cute. There are false prophets in the NT and no one stones a single one, so obviously something is different in the NT. We are told to mark and avoid those who cause dissensions and hindrances contrary to the te...

No pastor, elder, overseer, apostle, deacon, prophet, or father is ever called head (kephalē) in the NT. If head simply means authority or boss, why is kephalē never used for any leader in the church? Why is a father never called the kephalē of hi...

@BytePhantom42 @haymes_joshua Eph 4:11 says "And He gave some as apostles, some as prophets, some as evangelists, some as pastors and teachers." Pastoring (or shepherding) is a function, not an office. And only Jesus is explicitly called a poimen in ...

@BronWen727104 @RenewedReformed @sola_chad But then why without v34-36 would Paul even say v37? In 37, Paul reasserts his apostolic authority: “If anyone thinks that he is a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize that the things which I write to yo...

@Vibeauxs @Eric_Conn As for Jdg 4:6-9, the first thing to note is that Deborah was the very Word of God in the land as both prophet and judge, so Barak was to submit to her word. Second, that he said he would only go if God’s prophet went with him sh...

@whoalaura @StothersRyan Yes, you are correct. Many false prophets do exactly this. Prophets carried the death penalty for false prophecy because of this. When God inspires someone to write scripture, it is self-evident, internally consistent, and no...
