@Methodios007 @smashbaals Well my church is the church of the 12 apostles of Christ. Is this a competition? The scriptures don’t tell me to trust you or “your church” but to trust the scripture and n

@RichardFinke69 @spencer_newell @MikeWingerii No one should be changing doctrine. We need to seek to follow as closely as we can what was laid as a foundation by Christ and the apostles. I believe we

@JimBrandyberry The root of Christianity is Jewish. A Jewish Messiah. Jewish apostles. Gentiles are grafted in by faith to the one root.

@quackitude @TimAAmor That point about swords into plowshares is a specific statement about a specific time. Does Jesus desire Christian’s to start wars? Definitely not. We clearly see Jesus’ response and the apostles’ response to oppression in the f...

@The400_ @Eric_Conn Did Jesus follow this precedent? Any of the apostles? Oh, I

@BaldwinOfJ @samuel_costner @WokePreacherTV The foundation of my argument in scripture and its context. Your assertion that no female can teach is baseless and takes 1Ti 2:12 out of context. Ashkenazi? What are you talking about? Jesus is Jewish. Hi...

@BaldwinOfJ @samuel_costner @WokePreacherTV You are elevating 'the saints and church teaching' against the apostles' teaching? If it is consistent with the apostles' teaching in scripture, then it will stand the test and we can examine it against the...

@chris_z_123 @ryancduff "It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, ***to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up*** until we...

@AmateurOrthoInq @ChadRutter_ @smashbaals The Orthodox appear to be carrying forward the OT priesthood into the New Testament. Was Peter, Paul, James or any of the apostles ever called a priest like that? Any description of them wearing the priestly ...

@Flyoverland22 Jesus’ reason for choosing 12 Jewish males as his 12 apostles wasn’t communicated. It would be equally bad to presume that no Gentiles should be leaders because the first 12 were only Jewish or to limit to the first 12 when Jesus clear...

@Eric_Conn But the oldest position is that of Jesus and the apostles—mutual subm

@lyssasphere Why would you say that? We literally divide history by His birth and death, all of His apostles were willing to die for what they would know first hand to either be true or false, even His own brother who didn’t initially believe, change...

@sethhezekiah @BaileyJoy9 These so called fathers also disagree with scripture.

@herman_order @Rattle_Resists @michael_ronning The only history that is authoritative is the history documented in scripture that matches the teaching of the apostles. Historical context means what was going on in the context of what is being describ...

@sunbrightskills @eorre_ecc Actually, there should be no new doctrines established since what has been laid by Jesus and the apostles is sufficient. If you meant to uphold church doctrine, it would depend on which doctrine as only the fundamentals of...

@springbrease @KaeleyT Thanks for asking. The comment I get from a lot of patriachalists is that their view reflects the view of the church fathers and 2000 years of church history. And they are right (though it doesn't reflect the view of the apostl...

@ZRWJ_ @jtdxn_ Why didn’t the apostles form a crusade against the Romans?

@MikeStalingrad @BeanofChrist @jtdxn_ Show me a single example of where the Apostles interpreted this as taking a place in government. None of them did. And they were all martyred for preaching the gospel, not for trying to enact anti-abortion laws (...

@MikeStalingrad @BeanofChrist @jtdxn_ I was referring to the Great Commission, s

@jtdxn_ @gxp11 @MikeWingerii Or how about “thou shalt not legislate Christianity”? The apostles were politically neutral. Paul says simply to pray for those in authority so that we might be able to lead a tranquil life. "2:1 First of all, then, I ur...

@CNistEnjoyer Why people think the Bible forbids women from serving as elders, o

@Dayagent47 The only church history that matters is the prescriptive statements made in scripture. The rest is not inspired. You are overlooking why Jesus chose 12 male apostles and presuming it is because women are forbidden. This kind of binary th...

How many times were the 12 apostles baptized?

@KillmanBuck @JoInAthensGa @Eric_Conn You took a text out of its context and the improperly applied it to another text. What appears to be driving your interpretation is a disdain for egalitarianism. The equal treatment of women was practiced by th...

@KillmanBuck @JoInAthensGa @Eric_Conn Making disciples means to teach people everything that Jesus taught the apostles and to do it. It doesn’t mean everyone is a bishop or teacher or apostle, but it doesn’t in any way refer to role differences which...

@Robert_S_Morley @5cd5945b24ec495 @ronhenzel @GarOHoff @StanfieldBrent1 @Idolkiller Unlike Jesus, this is how the apostles spoke: "But when Peter saw this, he replied to the people, 'Men of Israel, why are you amazed at this, or why do you gaze at u...

@Unashamed_Chuck That’s right—not *all* are teachers. But we are told to earnestly desire the greater gifts. "Now you are Christ’s body, and individually parts of it. And God has appointed in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teache...

@ymmotrojam @ronhenzel @CherylSchatz @JollyStine @peace_got @MikeWingerii Tom, so Jesus words only lasted for a very short time? Although He already had apostles he didn’t mention them or leadership of any kind, so his words were merely a suggestion ...

@SKokenos @smashbaals Jesus didn’t choose any Gentile apostles either. Matt 28:18-20 tells them to make disciples of all nations “teaching them to follow all that I commanded you”—so if Jesus commanded his apostles to go and preach then those whom t...

@TSubasLawVX @squishy203 What about the apostles?

@GlennDavies @SwordMasterPub Hi Glenn. Indeed the 12 apostles are all Jewish males. They were appointed before the church. And description is not a prescription as Jesus may have had some symbolic reason for picking just 12 and all males. In Revelati...

@Torncurtainorg @theologicaljoe @AWoytuik @MikeWingerii You are attempting to draw a prohibition from a "let's see if we can find a single woman preacher in the NT"⎯ you cannot take narrative or description and form prohibition from that. We don't ha...

@Crystalisives @MichaelBerg888 Jesus didn't pick people to be sure they would be respected. He picked a tax collector! lol. Jesus does things for symbolic reasons. There are 12 sons of Jacob and so there are 12 apostles = 24 elders in Revelation. Th...

@deadtosin610 @JollyStine For example, Paul says stuff like this in reference to the apostles: Gal 2:6: “But from those who seemed to be something—*whatever they were, it makes no difference to me;* God shows personal favoritism to no man—for those ...
