This proves the Church was not meant to be the source of new doctrine. The apostles were entrusted to deliver the once-for-all faith (Jud 1:3). Scripture is described as sufficient for teaching, rep

No pastor, elder, overseer, apostle, deacon, prophet, or father is ever called head (kephalē) in the NT. If head simply means authority or boss, why is kephalē never used for any leader in the church? Why is a father never called the kephalē of hi...

@AdamDurham45945 @GenZCrusaders @smashbaals My 2cents here… I don’t think religion is for people who can’t think for themselves, though that seems to be the way it sometimes plays out unfortunately. Absolutely not the way it should be at all. The apo...

@JonByers186054 @dalepartridge The same things Jesus says to his Jewish-only, male-only apostles is to be taught to everyone. We are all to emulate Christ, not just males! There is no prescriptive text giving authority to husbands in the home. Kep...

@graceforprize @ComeBack_Yeshua @Rattle_Resists @michael_ronning Because the male apostles represent the 12 tribes of Israel. While we are not told who was sent in the 70 (or 72 according to Luke), we must assume that all those he was instructing as ...
