Mike Winger idea 2022-04-13

If egalitarians are right, passages like 1 Timothy 2 and 1 Corinthians 14 must be reinterpreted

Mike explains the stakes of the egalitarian position.

1 Timothy 2 1 Corinthians 14 1 Timothy 2 1 Corinthians 14 women's silence
Mike Winger idea 2022-05-09

Counterargument: 'well-known among the apostles' proves too much given their obscurity

Mike offers a significant rebuttal to the highest-sense reading.

Romans 16:7 Galatians 2 Junia Romans 16:7 Andronicus
Mike Winger idea 2022-05-09

Mary Magdalene is never called an apostle in Scripture

Mike notes a key absence in the biblical text.

Mary Magdalene argument from silence apostle title
Mike Winger idea 2022-05-09

All clear references to apostles indicate male gender

Mike addresses the argument that unnamed apostles might have been women.

Junia argument from silence all-male apostolate
Mike Winger idea 2022-05-30

Two key passages used by strong complementarians to deny women speaking publicly: 1 Corinthians 14:34 and 1 Timothy 2

Mike identifies the passages that fuel the opposing view.

1 Timothy 2 1 Corinthians 14:34 John MacArthur 1 Timothy 2 1 Corinthians 14:34 John MacArthur
Mike Winger idea 2022-07-18

Groothuis and Cohick cite the LSJ as proof kephale doesn't mean authority — misleading because the LSJ doesn't address NT usage

Mike shows how egalitarians use the LSJ in misleading ways.

Lynn Cohick argument from silence Rebecca Groothuis
Mike Winger idea 2022-08-15

Alternative egalitarian argument from silence on Colossians rejected

Mike briefly addresses the view that Paul only commanded submission in certain cultural contexts.

Colossians 3:18 argument from silence Colossians 3:18
Mike Winger idea 2022-12-04

Introduction of 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 as a highly controversial passage

Mike reads the passage and acknowledges modern readers will find it offensive, but states his main concern is understanding what it actually means in context.

1 Corinthians 14:34-35 biblical authority 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 women's silence in church
Mike Winger idea 2022-12-04

Introduction of View 4: The Utter Silence View

Mike introduces the most strict complementarian view, which limits women from nearly all public speech in church.

complementarianism utter silence view women's speech in church
Mike Winger idea 2022-12-04

Introduction of View 5: The Judging Prophecy View (Mike's own view)

Mike introduces his preferred interpretation, which limits the silence command specifically to the testing/judging of prophecy.

complementarianism judging prophecy view testing prophecy
Mike Winger idea 2022-12-04

Style Argument 3: The verses logically contradict 1 Corinthians 11:5

Mike addresses the argument that these verses contradict Paul's earlier allowance of women prophesying.

1 Corinthians 11:5 1 Corinthians 11:5 logical contradiction argument women prophesying
Mike Winger idea 2022-12-04

Assuming contradiction rather than seeking harmony in ancient texts shows hubris

Mike critiques the tendency to declare contradictions rather than seeking to understand how passages fit together.

Genesis 1-2 Genesis 1-2 hermeneutical humility biblical harmonization
Mike Winger idea 2022-12-04

Greek hinge point: The disjunctive particle 'e' (eta) in verse 36

Mike examines the Greek word translated 'what' or 'or' in verse 36 that carries the entire weight of the refutation argument.
