@carol66944 @KennethOrtiz @BronWen727104 @Paula_333 The problem with that interpretation is that 14:34-35 contradicts what Paul has been saying in the rest of ch 14. Paul is describing how they can all participate in an orderly way which means speaki...

@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...

@iroquoisplskn87 The Greek does not say “a man” it uses the word τὶς which means

@carol66944 @OrinRomine I’m sorry to say this, but your handling of this passage is a chaotic mix of eisegesis, grammatical confusion, and theological misdirection—jumping between metaphors (Adam, Gentiles, Christ) without any textual anchor. None of...

@carol66944 @OrinRomine Second, Greek doesn’t require repeating nouns when the subject is understood. The subject chain is: • Eve (v14) = “the woman” • σωθήσεται (v15) = “she will be saved” → clearly still the woman • ἐὰν μείνωσιν = “if they remain…...

@carol66944 @OrinRomine That’s not how Greek works. The 3rd person singular σωθήσεται in v15 cannot refer back to Adam—he’s not the subject of v14, and v15 says “she will be saved if they continue.” Adam is male and singular; the plural “they” exclud...

@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...

@smashbaals Smash needs to re-read 1Tim 2:12 in context. Paul wasn’t stopping anyone from teaching the truth. 1Ti 2:12 isn’t a universal ban on women teaching. Paul addresses a specific wife who was deceived and teaching error, and her husband who r...

@OrinRomine No, the context is that Paul wrote to Timothy to remind him to “remain on at Ephesus so that you would instruct certain people not to teach strange doctrines…” (1Ti 1:3). Paul reiterates, “I am writing these things to you, hoping to come ...

@FlyingHowitzer You are referring to 1Ti 1:12. It’s not referring to pastors, the context of the letter is stopping false teaching, the grammar is explicitly singular and the ‘the woman’ gives us evidence that there’s a specific woman who is deceived...

@Paula_333 @Saved5872 @MikeWingerii Yes, and that meaning is discovered by the context! These are not merely idioms, but sometimes Jesus says things like “you must eat my flesh and drink my blood” which isn’t an idiom but you can’t take the “plain me...

@Paula_333 You don’t know my motives and you are not God, so I suggest to stick

@Paula_333 No, that's not it. Paul is clearly responding to things that the Corinthians wrote (see 1Co 7:1), but there are not quotation marks in the Greek manuscript, so you have to infer the quotes. 1Co 14:34-35 clearly stand out from the rest of t...

@LiamHarperBlack @autocorrect2_0 You have trained your so-called common sense to

@thebrighttunnel @Rach4Patriarchy No, that is completely false. Paul nowhere forbids women from serving as elders! 1Ti 3 uses masculine forms in the grammar but in Koine Greek, the male form can be used when intending either men or women. And Is 3:...

@EricisAmerican @Protestia Those “he’s” you are referring to are inferred. There isn’t a single explicit male pronoun in these passages in the Greek. Even still, in Koine Greek, the male form is often used when speaking generically. So to forbid wome...

Many people think egalitarians are rejecting the “plain meaning” of 1Ti 2:12 and 1Ti 3:2. At the same time they have no problem recognizing that what the text first sounds like elsewhere is frequently different after checking the context. I give lot...

@Ryan_Adair_A My comments were very much focused on 1Ti 2:12 and it’s context. Is there anywhere where someone is not permitted to teach truth to someone? Also, I don’t think there is a rule that “teach” has to always be one way for the whole letter....

In the thread starting from the following post, I go through the basis for Paul’s reference to Adam and Eve in 1Ti 2:13-14, the order of creation and how this relates to Eve’s being deceived by examining Genesis 2 in detail. It’s not gymnastics; it’...

@Reneechop First you told me that women are more easily deceived than men, and then after I carefully explained my position verse by verse and showed how it makes sense of everything in the context and the grammar, you then tell me I am deceived and ...

@Reneechop @sparkobuzzer Whether God’s Word clearly teaches something first depends on whether you have rightly divided what it says in the first place. A text out of its context is a pretext for a proof text. Why do you suppose that even Peter ack...

@Reneechop @Rattle_Resists @michael_ronning It’s ok if you disagree with me. You can even call it ‘terrible hermeneutics’. But you won’t convince me you are right unless you can show how all the details in the text fit. Consider the following questio...
