@SpecterAndBride Was John the Baptist effeminate for not ever cutting his hair?

@SpecterAndBride @ymmotrojam @squidgy201 Yeah, after the apostles at some point

@SpecterAndBride @ymmotrojam @squidgy201 Nature doesn’t limit the length of head hair. Nature doesn’t teach you there’s a limit. Just don’t cut it and nature will continue to show you this. Translating it to contradict nature is strange to me. No w...

@CNistEnjoyer That passage says “a woman” and “a man,” connects them with another couple Adam and Eve, uses the article “the woman” in v14 as an anaphoric reference to identify “a woman” in v11-12 to be a particular woman and that woman will be saved...

@BookmanKramer That’s certainly possible, but many other complementarians engage

@JDT030820 @ReformedCaio @Brian_Sauve @HwsEleutheroi @ZacharyGarris @MikeWingeri

@3GNRTX Ep 5:21 says “Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.” The “be subject” verb shown in the English you quoted from v22 is not in the Greek as it comes from v21. What does this mean? It means that whatever v22 and following are sayin...

@baste_goblin @StephenStaedtl1 @DelaKram75 Of course. Maybe a bit wordier than you asked for, but here goes. God loves everyone including sinners (of which you were one too before you repented and believed). But scripture is clear that any s3xual r...

@3GNRTX The word used in 1Ti 2:11-12 translated “a woman” can also be translated

@3GNRTX In 1Ti 2:14, Paul says “the woman” instead of Eve—while Eve as her prototype is closely connected with this particular wife, only this Ephesian woman could be saved in the future tense if both her and her husband continue in the true faith. E...

@3GNRTX Rather, it was Paul dealing with a specific wife who was in need of salv

@3GNRTX Where was a hierarchy of authority of the man over the woman established

@StephenStaedtl1 @baste_goblin @DelaKram75 Excellent! Now we are back to scripture. Paul links Adam and Eve with the time sequence of creation and deception. Since Adam was created first and God created some animals and plants and trees in front of ...

@Tailfeathers_WA Q: “Why block me for critiquing?” A: Mt 7:6 — Ryan is a pig (unbeliever) so don’t teach him complementarian pearls or he will destroy you. How could anyone disagree with you?? A: Ep 5:11 — Ryan supporting godly women teaching truth...

@MegaChurchMouse But if everytime someone corrects you with effective solid Biblical refutations, you treat it as “dissensions and stumblings” then how would you learn if you were wrong? Wouldn’t Paul be talking about something else? What behaviour...

@BeyondZenny @Brian_Sauve Let’s backup a tad. My pastor is a male and I am a male. He doesn’t have authority over me. Scripture has authority. He certainly can act like he has authority—but unless what he says is aligned with the Word, whatever auth...

@AverageSc0t Well technically Jesus was going around and having everyone get baptized by His disciples. Was that the baptism of John since Jesus was now right there and you could believe in Him? I think that scripture saying John “needed to” and the...

@Reformed_Zoomer @j_robert_kirk @MolderAnna26649 @Brian_Sauve Also, protect her from what? From deception? You can only do that when you are not deceived yourself. Deception is not a gendered issue; many men can be deceived. Paul even says so: "But...

@j_robert_kirk @MolderAnna26649 @Reformed_Zoomer @Brian_Sauve You love…she doesn’t love? She can’t love as much as you? She doesn’t get to love? She submits…but you just control? Lovingly getting your way in every disagreement? And to boot you clai...

@ScottCross_8 @NamedWar @KittyMitchell7 @B_Christs_Amb @wolfeman2120 @TheMuppetPastor You are also biased—I can see it clearly. I am not an American so I don’t even have a pan on the fire. I am just very cautious about trials of high profile people l...

@ScottCross_8 @wolfeman2120 @NamedWar @TheMuppetPastor @KittyMitchell7 Why are you accusing me of making baseless accusations of corruption? I have ZERO interest in any guilty person being proclaimed innocent just for political gain. If you don’t be...

@ScottCross_8 @wolfeman2120 @NamedWar @TheMuppetPastor @KittyMitchell7 You are putting words in my mouth—I said I’m questioning the judgment and fairness of the courts who tried him. I haven’t made a claim that they are corrupt or that every jury in ...

@ScottCross_8 @wolfeman2120 @NamedWar @TheMuppetPastor @KittyMitchell7 Scott, please calm down. I’m not trying to promote a guilty person or claim him as totally innocent. Please listen to what I’m trying to say even if you dont’ agree with me. 1. ...

@LogicSaysBurn @KylePierce96 I’m not sure how you get pastoral role for Adam. And it has nothing to do with being older (they were created on the same day)—it’s simply that God have Adam experiences to prepare him for Eve which she didn’t get and the...

@coramdeo1 I’m not ignoring the literary structure of Gen 1-3. That the man is created first, the woman is created from the man and she is created for the man does not imply or require that she is to be ruled by the man. Authority is given to both t...

@TarienCole @VCITW Except that’s not my intention. I want to obey everything that God intends by the text. For example, do you intend to obey any of the following commands from Paul? How is it that you are not obeying a scriptural imperative?? "Whe...

@Trentofthenorth @kdclaunch The command was first given to Adam, then later to both Adam and Eve (Eve’s quoting God has Him speaking to plural persons). Adam called her “woman” or “Isha” as she came out of “Ish”—it’s a functional association and has...

@LogicSaysBurn Ok, glad you got that one right. Jesus submitted himself to his parents as a child, but when he was ministering and his mother was trying to extract Him, He didn’t submit. If Adam wasn’t a child (he was not even 1 day old), then neith...

@Mayo_Mingzi @kdclaunch Deborah had highest authority over everyone in Israel as God’s mouthpiece both as prophet and judge. She was just like Samuel. So your statement that “women must not have spiritual authority over men” is just false since God ...

Here he intentionally misconstrues Satan’s temptation as violating gender hierar

The serpent approaches the woman as she can be deceived. There is no evidence that anyone present is aware of any gender-based hierarchy. The serpent doesn’t say anything about being liberated from Adam’s authority. Adam is also right beside Eve li...

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...
