@BenZeisloft Ben, what is a feminist? Anyone who believes women are to be treated equally when it comes to leadership…is that a feminist? Also—where is being a feminist listed in any list of sins in

Reading Paul Dirks’ book “Deep Discipleship for Dark Days.” Paul you referenced Luke 22:36 as if to suggest Jesus was making a symbolic call to arm ourselves with *words.* Having the right words—especially how we speak—is a good thing. I’m sensing ...

@TheMuppetPastor @SpeechWrx @theknightshift Perhaps before swallowing the red pill when it comes to Bible interpretation, consider the context carefully. That should result in rightly dividing scripture and bypassing the problems where someone belie...

@bagby_abe @Protestia Abe, I just want to follow what God wants. This issue became a focus for me when i saw complementarians dividing over this issue and making it a matter of sin. Paul never intended anyone regardless of their sex to be silenced ...

@naegore @lasteveharvest @itskellydiane I think you are missing what Paul is saying here. Paul says in verse 6 that "If a woman does not cover her head, let her also cut her hair"⎯κειράσθω is a permissive imperative in the middle voice (ie. Paul is ...

@TheMuppetPastor @michellmybell1 Without using words that trigger people to think of master-slave relationships, the following is what I believe the text of Ephesians 5:21-33 is saying: “...and yielding each to one another out of reverence for Chris...

@FreeThinkerAng @TheMuppetPastor Paul refers to the creation order between Adam and Eve and relates this to the fact that Eve was deceived but Adam was not. Paul is not using this to support relational hierarchy but to hone in on that first deceptio...

@TheMuppetPastor @MaSoleil @DoctrineofTulip @autocorrect2_0 Thanks for explaining! Ok, the Greek translated as “husband of one wife” is literally “one wife husband.” It is also stated in 1 Tim 5:9 as “one husband wife” since it is referring to a wi...

@TheMuppetPastor @ZrimecSteve Wives don’t have a mediator though, they don’t need a second saviour figure either. Mutualists recognize that while Paul doesn’t state it in these passages, the source of the woman is also through Christ who formed Eve ...

Many think the first sin was Adam obeying Eve. This is not what Gen 3:17 says. Gen 3:17 (NASB 2020): "Then to Adam He said, 'Because you have *listened* to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree...” Why was listening to her voice impo...

@BibleBashed Misinterpreting scripture is serious, no? https://t.co/ZQizsThBcj

@elyie_bliss @BBWoofield @harmonizedgrace First you have to ask the question if they are misinterpreting Paul. Paul wrote half of the New Testament, so it's a bit disingenuous to discount Paul's writing. Paul clearly wrote scripture, but if you cal...

@WomnOfValor It depends on what you mean by this. Holding to the intended meaning of the Bible especially with respect to the foundation beliefs concerning the gospel, sin and the nature of God and man would certainly not be immature because these a...

@ManuelMencia11 @AndBlackburn233 @CSavedByGrace18 No, if you do not repent, you will lose your salvation. Salvation is by faith and someone who claims to be a Christian but refuses to submit to God is a liar and the truth is not in him. This may so...

In 1 Cor 14:34-35, Paul is quoting from the letter that the Corinthians wrote (see 1 Cor 7:1) and using the contrastive “or” (which is typical of Paul) to rhetorically refute it: “What? Came the word of God out from you [men]? Or came it unto you [me...

@Nathanor582613 @WomnOfValor Thanks for the comment. - Paul is clearly responding to the letter from the Corinthians (see 1 Cor 7:1). Since there are no quotes in the original manuscripts, how do we know where Paul is quoting? - Paul refers to the l...

@BiffSport @JJacobs63985241 @WomnOfValor Explaining what Paul himself wrote using the context, grammar, audience—no detail left unmapped—and you call that twisting?? Why? Because I love truth! Look, if you think as a male you have primacy, then ac...

@WomnOfValor John MacArthur for all his learning has no idea that Paul since chapter 7 has been responding to things that the Corinthians wrote in their letter to him. He quotes them and then refutes them: “What? came the word of God out from you[m...

@DefendTheSheep God doesn’t want sin in the relationship between the husband and wife. If a wife is physically or feels emotionally abused she may use separation as a tool to help her husband to repent, but I don’t see this as grounds for divorce. ...

@TheChileabSon @MalcangiSarah It’s the idea that you say it’s Biblically required that’s concerning. It’s as if you think that my wife is sinning or doing something wrong if she also manages the home, why does 1 Tim 5:14 say women manage the househo...

@Omniisnotbussin @MarkGrote Do you have a Jewish male pastor, or are Gentiles allowed? By the same reasoning, women also are not excluded. Regarding 1 Tim 2:12, Paul left Timothy behind in Ephesus to stop false teaching not to stop females from t...

@MarkGrote While Artemis was important in Ephesian life, I highly doubt that this was the problem in the church since: - Paul’s preaching resulted in the new believers abandoning Artemis almost like it was the mark of what a Christian was - Paul ment...

@lynette_f815 @MarkGrote The only point I’d contest was your broad statement that “women were uneducated.” I’m not sure how you arrived at this. Priscilla, although she wasn’t from Ephesus, is an example of a very educated woman. Since Paul uses t...

@MarkGrote I’m egalitarian so I agree with you on that, but I think that the details in this passage don’t fit your description. Paul uses the singular in vs 11-12, “the woman” in v14 and “she will be saved…if they” in v15. All of these point to a ...
