domestic abuse complementarianism and abuse story-driven theology
Mike Winger idea 2022-03-14

Biblical examples of women who worked outside the home: Proverbs 31 woman (entrepreneur), Lydia (businesswoman), Priscilla (tentmaker).

Biblical counter-examples to women-only-at-home view

Prov 31 Lydia Priscilla
Mike Winger idea 2022-03-14

Historical context: work often happened at home throughout history; the modern commute-to-work model is recent and should not be read into ancient texts.

Historical lens on 'working at home'

Titus 2:5 women and work Titus 2:5 historical context
Mike Winger idea 2022-03-14

The real point of 'leaving father and mother' is that the marriage relationship takes priority over the parental relationship.

Mike's interpretation of Genesis 2:24

Gen 2:24 marriage priority family unit
Mike Winger idea 2022-03-14

Payne's third argument: father and mother sharing authority over the son before he leaves shows egalitarian parental authority.

Egalitarian argument about shared parental authority

Philip Payne Gen 2:24 parental authority
Mike Winger idea 2022-05-09

Mike explains the cultural significance of 'sons' language in the passage.

Galatians 3:26 sonship status Galatians 3:26 inheritance rights
Mike Winger idea 2022-06-20

Mike cites Schreiner's succinct summary of the verse's meaning.

Galatians 3:28 Tom Schreiner Galatians 3:28 Two Views
Mike Winger idea 2022-08-15

Sarah obeying Abraham as an example that rules out purely evangelistic interpretation

Mike argues the Sarah example confirms submission is a general godly pattern, not culturally bound.

1 Peter 3:5-6 Genesis 18:12 Sarah Abraham 1 Peter 3:5-6
Mike Winger idea 2022-08-15

Sarah casually saw Abraham as the leader -- cultural offense of this concept today

Mike draws out the principle behind Sarah's language.

cultural double standard husband as leader
Mike Winger idea 2022-08-15

Can a wife reject her husband's decisions? Yes, in certain situations

Mike addresses limits of wifely submission.

1 Samuel 25 limits of submission Abigail 1 Samuel 25
Mike Winger idea 2022-08-15

1 Peter 3:1-7 Discovering Biblical Equality 1 Peter 3:1-7 Peter Davids
Mike Winger idea 2022-08-15

Davids claims 1 Peter 2:13 makes family a 'human institution' like government
