Mike Winger idea 2022-05-30

Acts 8:3 — Saul went house to house dragging off men and women; this was general persecution, not targeting leaders

Mike reads Acts 8:3 which is the actual text Wright bases his argument on. Paul went to every house interrogating whether people were Christians.

Mike offers the alternative complementarian reading of Colossians 3.

Colossians 3:18-19 servant leadership Colossians 3:18-19
