In 1 Co 9:23 Paul says he disciplines himself “so that I may be a partaker of the gospel.” The “prize” and “imperishable crown” aren’t extra rewards but a sharing in salvation itself. Paul knew prea

@dalepartridge @DawnAuletta @jenjo_1968 “Yes, now man comes through woman” is also scripture to embrace. It shows that there is no primacy of one over the other. “…and all things originate from God.”

@thatwit45 @AF_Tugboater @LilaGraceRose 1Co 11:3 refers to the head of ‘every man.’ The Greek word here is aner but I believe it is referring to everyone, male and female. Clearly, the head of every person is Jesus because Jesus is the creator of all...

@thatwit45 @AF_Tugboater @LilaGraceRose Only a few spots are written in Aramaic.

@thatwit45 @AF_Tugboater @LilaGraceRose That translation doesn’t reflect the Greek. It should be “let her” not “she should.” This is referred to as permissive imperative. κειράσθω is a 3rd person singular present middle imperative, hence: “let her c...

@thatwit45 @AF_Tugboater @LilaGraceRose Have you read Philippians 2? This is a perfect description of submission. Jesus also said, “Whoever wants to be first among you shall be slave of all.” (Mk 10:44) This is the perfect description of submission ...

@InfinitelyManic @thatwit45 @AF_Tugboater @LilaGraceRose “You are My Son, today I have fathered You.” (Heb 1:5 quoting Ps 2:7). How can Jesus be eternally begotten if scripture says “today” about the incarnation? All persons were uncaused. Further ...

@thatwit45 @InfinitelyManic @AF_Tugboater @LilaGraceRose No. God cannot cease to be God, but the second person added human nature to His nature as God. To become man He gave up His right to initiate. He had to depend on the Father. The scripture is ...

@CFlow1992 I’m not denying that grace is central to the New Testament. But calling Calvinism ‘the doctrines of grace’ frames one specific theological system as the only faithful reading when in fact, it teaches that God withholds saving grace from mo...

@realbethelquote He’s eisegeting it you mean. Jesus shows us clearly in Jn 5:46 what is meant—and this is what exegesis is: “If you believed Moses, you would believe Me.” The problem isn’t lack of grace or God not electing—it’s refusal of the indiv...
