@coramdeo1 Ok, let’s try then. How does stopping all women from preaching or teaching men have anything to do with stopping false teaching? Why would Paul write such general instructions for women i

Kyle forgets that this is a personal letter to Timothy, not a general letter to the church. Paul states expressly that his intent was to leave Timothy behind to stop some from teaching false doctrines. Paul’s intent was not to setup some sort of gend...

This is a misreading of 1Ti 2:13-14—Paul is using Adam and Eve as prototypes of a specific couple in Ephesus. Why? Because the woman was ignorant and deceived and as Paul outlined in 1Ti 1, those who are ignorant receive mercy meaning not naming them...

The second mistake is missing that Paul is referring to the time sequence of creation not gender hierarchy. Since Adam was created first and observed God creating he was prepared for the temptation of the serpent and could not be deceived. Eve was c...

🧵 Kyle @kdclaunch attempts to show that the Bible forbids women from functioning

@EkIesou @smashbaals It is correct to say that ‘a woman’ can either refer to a specific woman/wife or a generic woman/wife. The way we determine which it is is by the context. Paul’s reference to Adam and Eve as a prototypical couple and the “She…the...

@WizardTraveling In addition Paul is adding in Kings in that he is saying to pray for ALL men EVEN kings and EVEN the false teachers. This is an extension of the whole (all men) with specific people picked out for a reason, but it doesn’t have anythi...

@WizardTraveling Kings are not classes of men. What Paul is saying here is that Kings are not picked out because they are a class of men that God has picked to be saved, but that Kings are important SO THAT we may lead a tranquil and quiet life. The ...

@avyargo @_nomadic_soul I’m pretty sure it would be the other way around… "And consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation—as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you, as also in all his ep...

@JohnPiper But Paul says that he boasts in his weakness, so boasting is not excluded completely: "But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore **I will boast all the more gladly of my weakn...

@i_am_a_pfhb @paulogia0 That’s true. Why don’t people accept the truth?

@TNickPerkins @paulogia0 The seed is the word of God, the problem is with the so

@paulogia0 Whether you were saved or not is not really material. Jesus taught that the seed finds 4 soil types and those who are the shallow soil accept the message and spring up for a time. When the sun shines for a period of time, their shallow roo...

@pauldirks @KaeleyT Having Christians in government is great. Not something to be discouraged at all. But as a Christian governor I should not be treating the country as a Christian nation and all its peoples as professing Christians. My focus should...

@pauldirks @KaeleyT As for the Queen's coronation liturgy... I hadn't seen that before, but I don't think that God's intent was that we as Christians should fall under the King or Queen's religion and practice. I don't follow an earthly King or Queen...

@pauldirks @KaeleyT When we pray "your kingdom come" we are asking God to come in the second advent while we carry out our mandate which is to "make disciples of all peoples." It's not to setup the kingdom so that when Jesus comes He says, "Wow, gre...

@pauldirks It's a bit hard to frame it in a single sentence to capture everything carefully and completely, but the idea is that 1Co 5:11-13 has a meaning...unless you think the government is how God punishes sin. In that case, why say anything to th...

@pauldirks Are you suggesting that what Moses permitted was nor right? Was horrendous for the family and women? “They said, 'Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce and send his wife away.' But Jesus said to them, 'Because of your ha...

@pauldirks @KaeleyT I respond to each of his points. Do you agree? https://t.co/

@pauldirks @KaeleyT Paul, you are mixing up Jesus' second advent with His first.

Why does @Brian_Sauve connect wives not being full time homemakers with the denying the gospel? This is really bad theology! When Paul says "working at home" he means not being idle, he doesn't mean that she must only work inside the 4 walls of the...

@amerikanergent @RoiRogers2 @ZA_Legacy @smashbaals Mutuality is perhaps a better term as this isn’t about asserting one’s rights. Headship in Paul’s thinking is not what we are used to in our context but has to do with the origin of things like marri...
