@ZacharyGarris @wintrwizrd That verse is not speaking generically of all women. The grammar has to make sense and Paul using the singular. https://t.co/rBGS8Fof6Y

@2b_censored @autocorrect2_0 @DezGroves You are right that Paul was not using the imperative in v12. But can you explain verse 15? https://t.co/rBGS8Fof6Y

@DefendTheSheep It’s a pity because after studying these hard passages in more detail we find that Paul wasn’t restricting women at all. His reference to Eve’s deception is only tied to the creation order and not something in her chromosomes. His f...

@gleasondj @narelleford @FrontiersIn @FrontEndocrinol But Paul was quoting from the letter the Corinthians wrote him (see 1 Cor 7:1) and in 1 Cor 14:34-35 this is a quote from that letter—he refutes them in v36: "What? came the word of God out from y...

@notofthischurch @Soteriology101 @IkeLifeLike @joel_budreau The woman sinned first but scripture says it is through one man that sin entered laying the blame on Adam, this because he sinned with knowledge and was not deceived like Eve. The reason is...

@AdamPage85 @brian_lester88 @tomcatpdx5000 You are right that the order of creation is significant, but in this case Paul is using Adam and Eve as a template for a couple in Ephesus where the deceived wife is teaching false doctrine and the husband w...

@realAndresP @Provokatov Isn’t she just talking? That scripture was about teaching false doctrine in church. What does that have to do with a woman sharing her opinions on X? If you want to continue using this verse, you should maybe look at it mo...

@mrpaulscotti @jacrabtree66 @MelonieMac It’s pretty simple to quote something. But to actually explain what Paul is saying in that passage is not as simple. For example, what do you think he means by “She will be saved through childbearing if they…...

@Presbyterianon There are actually multiple promises, but this one in Gen 12:3 was spoken to Abraham and doesn’t mention his seed. Here are the relevant passages concerning the seed (or offspring, singular) of Abraham: 1. Genesis 12:7 - “Then the ...

@wbigs2001 @CherylSchatz She’s a heretic for exposing a false teacher?

@Mockinglogos @DickSaban1 I have answered this already. If it means only a man, then Paul later says “women likewise…” showing he includes them as having the same qualifications. If it is referring to marital faithfulness, then singles and the marr...

@wbigs2001 @eltrucker87 @smashbaals I fear that you are going to be surprised. First, you are falsely accusing me of things I didn’t even say or support. Second, people disagree on many secondary matters. Where is a woman who preaches or teaches t...

@eltrucker87 @wbigs2001 @smashbaals Brother, I’m simply using the wording you used. I’m pushing for rightly dividing truth and Biblical faithfulness. Is that a sin? Qualifications are not based on ethnicity (even though all 12 apostles were Jewish...

@Ashwin_Vengayil @tj7688 1—I don’t likely agree with the way he is using scripture. His intent is not to “wipe out” innocent civilians in Gaza. You are swallowing the pill Hamas delivered and it seems to be working. Won’t be long and you will want...

@The_Wry_Griot @smashbaals I wouldn’t talk about God’s Word this way, since this is what God’s word actually means. I am merely advocating for the truth. Is it a sin for a man to learn to serve and subject himself to the needs of others (Eph 5:21)?...

@nomorestrange @LifeWithoutLack @smashbaals There are many women who are single or widows or separated. Paul was single and advocated for singleness (1 Cor 7:7,8,11,26,27). Are you saying that women only have a head if they are married? 1 Cor 11:3...

@JrShines @smashbaals God had to greatly increase her conception since they were going to die and had to populate the earth. She will desire her husband—it doesn’t say desire to rule. God’s comment to Eve about Adam ruling over her is not an impera...

@TetzlaffJoshua @smashbaals As Paul elaborated in 1 Tim 2:13-14, Eve was deceived but Adam who was right beside her and heard what she said to the serpent sinned with knowledge since he was created first and had experience of God creating animals and...

@smashbaals This does not mean the authority over. Since marriage is defined by going back to the first marriage in Eden where the wife Eve was taken from the flesh and bone of her husband Adam, the husband is said to be the source or origin of the...

@KaeleyT @pauldirks I’m not sure your specific circumstances, but removing someone from an abusive situation—depending on the nature of the abuse, and raising the issue strongly to leadership would be first steps. Consideration of reporting the issu...

@rightresponsem Joel, I’m afraid this teaching is in direct contradiction to the scriptures which say that in the same manner that you received the result of one man’s sin, through one man the sin of every human has been dealt with. What is required...

@EtAbundatGratia @JayMuratore @MikeWingerii It is eisegesis or confirmation bias to read into Gen 3:16 that she desires to rule her husband. Gen 4:7 is a different context. Sin is not a person, but metaphorically, if sin wants Cain perhaps like a w...

@MichaelBerg888 This assumes that He didn’t have other reasons for choosing only male apostles in the original 12. Just as God originally chose the Jews, we as Gentiles are now grafted into one. I argue that in the same way God has broken down the ...

@pauldirks @KaeleyT Thanks for your reply, Paul. I was deliberate in my wording. Kaeley said "It's wicked", not "they are wicked." This distinction matters. People genuinely and sincerely following their convictions aren't intentionally doing some...

@pauldirks @KaeleyT Respectfully, I think calling Kaeley’s comments “vitriol” is over the top. I know you actually agreed with her objection and are nuanced on this and a sincere complementarian, but perhaps you might have a different perspective if...

@BibleBashed I’m shocked that over 50% of respondents so far think women need to have children to be saved‼️ "She [singular] will be saved [future, so cannot be Eve] through the childbearing [definite article + noun, NOT a verb, a reference back to ...
