@deadtosin610 1Ti 3:1-13 and Titus 1:5-9 are often mistakenly thought to forbid women from being overseers. However, the only phrase that people base this on is the idiom "one-wife-husband" used for elders and deacons. A neutral pronoun is used, "tis...

@JollyStine @ymmotrojam @MikeWingerii 1Ti 2:15 says “the” childbearing (noun), not the verb, so it’s referring to a thing, not an action. 1Ti 4:3 talks about those who were forbidding marriage. But this does not seem to talk about s3x in marriage. P...

@jsrrayburn @ryancduff @TentSpike @deadtosin610 @CharmyRosewolf @AlanDMyattPhD "a woman" is not always specific, but since the article is used with the noun in v14, this anaphorically indicates that the "a woman" is a specific woman. Paul said in 1Ti...

@brianaxelm I appreciate that you are free to agree with Mike. What is unacceptable is to claim I'm sinning by disagreeing with him on something he stated was secondary. Mike is claiming that egalitarians are doing "great harm" to the church by the ...

@MackDonahue @Themostbased098 @MikeWingerii I do not believe that my egalitarian stance is unbiblical because I do not believe that "biblical marriage" is complementarian⎯which does not mean I'm erasing male and female, just that I don't believe the ...

@FatherForgiv3Me So you are complementarian? Is supporting female pastors a sin? Are we to repent of something that is not sin? Apparently I'm causing "great harm" just by sharing my egalitarian views and supporting female pastors. Where is this eve...

@MackDonahue Except we repent for sin, not for disagreeing on a secondary matter

@Themostbased098 @MikeWingerii You don't REPENT of secondary issues. It's like saying to repent of your amillenialism or repent of drinking wine in moderation. When we use that word, it means wrong was done, that sin was committed. I want Mike to exp...

@slstruik Ok. So you are a complementarian? You think that a godly woman preaching the word "authoritatively" is a sin? Or you think supporting female pastors is a sin? Please show me where scripture says its a sin. You can't point to 1Ti 2:12 as th...

@SelectedDivine Please hear what I’m saying—I’m not saying we should NOT call people to repent. I’m saying that it should be about sin. It appears that Mike feels this rises to the level of sin, but I’d like him (or someone) to prove that a woman spe...

@FreeAme19691836 I believe that any sexual relationship outside that of a lifelong commitment of marriage between one man and one woman is sin. However, I don’t believe the scripture prohibits godly women from teaching truth to men. To explore what ...

When you cast doubt on whether a woman is allowed to speak with boldness (authority?⎯what does this even mean exactly?), the effect is that they will draw back and may lose courage, preferring that a man should do it instead of possibly crossing a li...

All one needs to do to control a woman is to tell her she is being too authoritative and she has stepped across the line. Then she will think that she is in sin while she is not actually sinning from a boundary set in the Bible, but instead from one ...

@JoanBandy @SelectedDivine @elonmusk Wait... Daniel said that the entirety of the Bible says that men are the head, and by this I presume he means that men are the authority over all matters and over their wives? Which Bible is this? I don't see tha...

@AverageSc0t @MikeWingerii Your last statement is absolutely imperative. That said, I see absolutely no reason to "repent" of my egalitarian beliefs and I'm not calling complementarians to repent of theirs. I think, however, that when it results in ...

@AVER735 @CherylSchatz @MikeWingerii It shows that Deborah was not in sin though she was even telling the King what to do showing she was in the highest position of authority as Israel’s judge in a theocracy. It shows that instead of consulting male...

@ReformedRant Also, in Ex 15:20, Miriam is identified as a “prophetess,” and she leads the women in song and dance after the crossing of the Red Sea, further demonstrating her leadership and influence. In Num 12:1-2, Miriam and Aaron speak against M...
