@JosephGeis92207 @Protestia So if a man said this it would be just fine and Paul would be ok with it? Maybe you should read 1Ti 2:11-12 in its context...

@ISASaxonists What translation is that? The Greek doesn't say "no woman," but "a woman". In context, Paul left Timothy in Ephesus to instruct certain people from teaching strange doctrines, not to stop anyone from teaching truth to anyone. The term ...

@NicedayNomoremr @dalepartridge @ostrachan So Paul was instructing Timothy from stopping women from teaching truth to men? Where in the context are you getting that from?

@DanielT46640724 @BertinMbokish @SocietyOfStChad @BishopJaxi Yes, Jesus says “this is my body” but He also said “I am the door” (Jn 10:7). We are supposed to be able to understand from the context that He is speaking metaphorically. And yes, you are...

@danitreweek I think Grudem and others got this one wrong because they weren’t p

@danitreweek This is largely because they see head meaning ‘authority over’ or ‘the boss of’ or ‘responsible for’ language when the Biblical context seems to be using it in the sense of origin, source, perhaps prominent or even first mover. I of cou...

@ryancduff I know. Yet here’s the catch: they think that head means the authorit

@McMuffin11111 Well, when they all parrot each other and miss the context behind

@McMuffin11111 @CrackedSkull7 Gill, Chrysostom, Calvin and Owen are all parroting the same interpretation which violates the grammar, doesn’t make sense in the context of Paul stopping false teaching instead of all female teachers and doesn’t agree w...

@CrackedSkull7 Paul’s context is not isolated platitudes but in the context of a purposeful directed personal letter of instruction to Timothy. Paul was clear about his purpose: that Timothy remain in Ephesus to instruct certain people to not teach s...

@Davis_Carlton84 @jaaonpe @YesThatCollin @Eric_Conn @iliketopreach No he doesn't. First, he doesn't use the plural as you misquoted. Second, taken in context, Paul leaves Timothy in Ephesus to instruct certain people to stop teaching strange doctrine...

@Davis_Carlton84 @jaaonpe @YesThatCollin @Eric_Conn @iliketopreach No, Paul wasn't 'condemning' women from teaching in 1Ti 2:12. Taken in context, Paul left Timothy in Ephesus to instruct certain people to stop teaching strange doctrines. He wasn't s...

@McMuffin11111 @Eric_Conn @iliketopreach How did I take 1Ti 2:12 out of context? 1Co 11:3 has nothing to do with authority but is all about origins. In Sarah’s day, calling someone ‘lord’ was like using the term ‘sir,’ a term of respect. If leader...

@McMuffin11111 @Eric_Conn @iliketopreach Well, if you are going to be the one to vote and teach the Bible, you should at least not take scripture out of context. Paul left Timothy in Ephesus to instruct certain people to stop teaching strange doctri...

@Here4Now0829 Right, ‘can be’ doesn’t mean it is. Meaning is governed by context. Again, Paul didn’t use explicit masculine pronouns (ie. autos, etc). Neither did he say clearly, “an elder must not be a woman.” When we are debating the details, we ca...

@Here4Now0829 I can understand that you may not be comfortable with a female pastor/elder, but the Bible doesn’t forbid women from serving in this way. And there should be multiple elders, qualified men and women. 1Ti 2:12 in context is Paul referri...

@bugpops @iamkimianora @yhbryankimiq Yes, you did misinterpret it to fit your narrative. Because Paul never left Timothy in Ephesus to stop anyone from teaching truth. Just because you found someone teaching error, doesn't mean you should take a tex...

@TzarTheIncel @Toneskeee It's also one people take out of context and misapply.

@aaron_p_edwards Actually, the apostle Paul told Timothy to remain in Ephesus so that he might instruct certain people to stop teaching strange doctrines. The issue is about strange or false doctrines. This has nothing to do with stopping someone fro...

@1Maccabees2_68 @BornIn2Soul @thelovergirljas You might want to revisit these verses in their context. Paul said in 1Tim 1:3 that he wanted Timothy to instruct certain people to stop teaching strange doctrines. His purpose was not to stop anyone from...

@BronWen727104 So someone serving by leading the kitchen crew or managing the distribution to the widows is a pastoring function? I don’t think we are looking at English wording but what terms and contexts the biblical authors used this word for. T...

Today I responded to @VirgilWalkerOMA who I thought posted a good article showing why he went from egalitarian to complementarian. Yes, it's not good to believe something on feelings alone. That's why we need to study 1Ti 2:12 in context. Hope you f...

@VirgilWalkerOMA While it is easy to be swayed by our feelings, it can also be just as easy to read something into scripture that it is not saying. As the saying goes, "A text taken out of its context becomes a pretext for a prooftext." What is the ...

@113Nihonium @parryfencer @Mitchell0000 @HiFromMichaelV @VividProwess Did you just read those verses by themselves, or did you read them in context? Paul was quoting from the letter the Corinthians wrote and refuting it: “What? came the word of God ...

@50Fouhr @fein26052 @SunnyComb000 @GolerGkA @Telegraph You might want to brush up on your 'reading in context' skills. Paul wrote to Timothy so that he would instruct certain individuals to stop teaching strange doctrines, not to stop the truth being...

@residentreformr @David_wthebeard Rom 3:11 is quoting from Ps 14 and Ps 53. Do you think Paul is taking those passages out of context which clearly refer to “all those fools who say there is no God”? Look at the rest of Ps 14. Can you find any who d...

@BorisNoris60406 @coffeelover4646 I don’t think taking a verse out of its context is helpful to understand what it means. Just like when Jesus appears to say that you must hate your mother and father, we have to carefully look at the context to deter...

@carol66944 @OrinRomine Trying to make 1Ti 2:15 into typology of Christ overrides Paul’s grammar and context. The verse speaks of a specific woman’s salvation contingent on “they” (she and her husband?) continuing in faith. It’s practical hope, not h...

@carol66944 @OrinRomine But 1Ti 2:15 says “She will be saved…”. You can’t change ‘she…saved’ to ‘he…preserved,’ from ‘the woman’ to ‘Adam.’ First, Adam cannot be modified at the time of writing as he is dead. Same with Eve. Second, this doesn’t addre...
