@Rach4Patriarchy Except that’s not what Paul is saying in this passage. He is not silencing women, rather, he is rebuking those who are silencing women. This is a quote from some Judiazers who infiltrated the churches and wrote what Paul quoted in ...

@KaeleyT @pauldirks @PerinDana Yes. Both are not God’s original intention for humanity nor His intention for His church. That said, there is patriarchy seen in the Old Testament. To what extent it matches what some believe Patriarchy to be all abo...

@HeidiSchlumpf I’m not a Roman Catholic, but I think this still applies. Women in the church have been treated as a sub-species of man for too long. It’s time to not suppress them from roles just because of their gender. This should be about chara...

@DeeGoingsGirl Complementarian certainly means something specific. And the Danvers statement is probably a good summary of this perspective. I believe the Bible teaches an egalitarian theology for the Church and recognizes patriarchy in history. T...

@dixontroy @megbasham Is that what Jesus wants for His church?

@William_E_Wolfe And it's my duty to inform you that your confession is needlessly dividing Jesus' church. "Reform their practice and submit [to] the Bible" ⎯ you are asking them to submit to something we are permitted to disagree on, not the Bibl...

@CivicNatalist @jchasedavis Right, not everyone is a leader. There is considerable variation in complementarian circles. The point being that dividing churches because women occupy a pastoral or elder or overseer role harms the body of Christ. It ...

@NateSchlomann It is the SBC who has gone too far and made a secondary issue into a primary issue to divide over. It should never have been done. The church is Jesus’ body and Jesus cares about unity. When you carelessly divide His body, you cause...

@megbasham The SBC adding secondary matters into its statement of faith (even though done years ago) is causing harm to the body of Christ. The church belongs to Jesus and Jesus cares about unity in His body. When we divide over matters that are no...

@aflawedmanofGod @ortrails @goteamcarr Being a Berean doesn’t require agreement but eagerly listening and searching the scriptures. In the church, believers are all priests—without gender distinctions. 1.1 Pet 2:5,9: “You yourselves like living sto...
