This video short makes @MikeWingerii sound egalitarian. Is it true? https://t.

@susannemaynes In the one church where I sat down with the pastor, this idea was used as a rite only allowed for official pastors, not just males. They had a male intern pastor and he wasn’t allowed to speak authoritatively either, though he will be...

Let’s say that a pastor speaks what he thinks is God’s intended meaning “with au

This idea of authoritative preaching comes up a lot in complementarian circles. But what does it mean? In 1 Pet 4:11 we read "Whoever speaks is to do so as one who is speaking actual words of God…" If it isn’t our personal opinion, shouldn’t we AL...

@worldneedsOil @smashbaals Generally speaking you are right that religions are as numerous as cultures. However, the Bible transcends all cultures. Don’t assume that America is a Christian Nation or that its political leaders or even the popular pr...

@RiseRevolution5 @TeregianKunta Those are great texts. Ultimately we have ample proof that women occupied positions of authority, leadership and influence including over men. So what we need to do is explain these hard passages. And I believe I ha...

@MikeWingerii Finally, most complementarians see 1 Tim 3:1-13 and Tit 1:5-9 as clearly requiring male leadership. But if this is the case: - Why does Paul use τὶς in v1 which means “someone” or “anyone”? Why didn’t he specify a male, or ἀνήρ? - I...

On the one hand, John has a point because to agree that scripture clearly teaches male only leadership and then to willfully ignore this is clear evidence of rebellion against the Bible. However, I want you to know that this is not what the New Test...

@OutOfThePocket Here’s another one: “And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge ...

@BiffSport @3HillsMinor @Rattle_Resists @Kdubtru @michael_ronning The only reason you say it is a twisting is because you are looking it from the pretzel of your own view which has women forbidden from teaching with men present! We know scripture ha...

@MarkGrote @Peacemaker811 @HbitsO @BethMooreLPM This assumes authentein means “usurp authority”—are men allowed to do that but women are not? Men are allowed hostile takeovers inspired by geneologies and false understanding of the law? Paul wasn’t ...

@3HillsMinor @graceforprize @Rattle_Resists @Kdubtru @michael_ronning Paul says “a woman” or “a wife” (which it is has to be determined by the context) and later says “the woman” in verse 14. This is an anaphoric use of the article back to “a woman”...

@3HillsMinor @Rattle_Resists @Kdubtru @michael_ronning I am exegeting and using reasoning—please show me where I’m twisting scripture. You shouldn’t falsely accuse someone of “twisting” scripture. There’s nothing wrong with men leading, but somethi...

@lastadolphin @brambonius @PSSanborn @EarthyLilly Everyone as we mature should be aiming to lead in some capacity in order to fulfill the great commandment Jesus gave to all to “make disciples of all nations…teaching them to follow all that I command...

@MrRoyMcAvoy @The_Wry_Griot @JonnyRoot_ Well, Paul's Greek leads me to my conclusions. He chooses not to use male pronouns but rather τις which means "anyone" or "someone." Further, he doesn't exclude women but says "women likewise..." Forbidding ...

@KaeleyT @pauldirks @DeeGoingsGirl Not having women as elders and counsellors is very unwise, though I understand it is done for theological reasons. However, they still serve in many ways. Using the gifts God gives them for wisdom, counsel and lea...

@KaeleyT @pauldirks @DeeGoingsGirl I’m really pleased when I see healthy complementarian churches that let women speak on Sunday mornings and value the gifts and leadership and sacrifice women bring to the church family. If male authority can be rel...

@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...

@pauldirks @KaeleyT @DeeGoingsGirl The idea of "obeying your leaders" in the Greek means to be willing to be convinced. It doesn't mean "blind obedience" but openness and not a stubborn refusal to listen. But doing what they say requires that it mu...

@pauldirks @DeeGoingsGirl @KaeleyT I think the idea that the husband represents "God" and the wife represents "humans" eliciting a one way subordination of the wife to her husband is extremely problematic. The authority should never be presumed to b...

@MikeWingerii @j_bambrick As for “I do not permit” being temporary or universal and the nature of authentein being positive because teaching can only be positive, Mike missed the forest for the trees. As Mike clearly proclaimed after his 4.5 hour di...

@pauldirks @DeeGoingsGirl @KaeleyT There is a disparity in the two approaches. Wilson's approach is all about authority and responsibility to make the woman obey his leadership, whereas Peace's approach is about gently confronting an issue and worki...
