@Grump_Old_Man @ronhenzel Does Ron not use paragraphs to support his position to

@Grump_Old_Man Well, if you are a Christian then you clearly changed your views unless you grew up always believing. Did you hold to infant baptism but changed your view? Did you hold patriarchal views and change to egalitarian (for example)? Wer...

@KMD_0nline There is still a lot of cases where they are treated as second class citizens…remarkably in many churches. Just watch when a female pastor joins other male pastors in a Baptist fellowship. Watch how the men respond. But yes, women are co...

@covapologetics I see. Would you like me to change it? If so and before I do, are you suggesting that you are merely claiming your personal opinion on this issue and admit that it is sufficiently unclear so that most Baptist churches don’t agree wit...

@MaineMinistry My next church was Baptist and within 5 minutes of our house. Rather than people driving in from all over, most people attended from the community. It was friendly and sound. We quickly became members and integrated into volunteering i...

@PastorMark "But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever." (1Ti 5:8). The Greek word used here is "τις" (tis), which is a gender-neutral term ...

@slow_down_Jess @cjohnsonn0311 @_AndrewHale Hi Gary. I'm not sure why you highlighted 1Ti 3:1. It uses the pronoun τις (tis) which means anyone or someone, not "any man" (like the NASB translates) or "a man" (as the NKJV translates). As for μιᾶς γυν...

@Grump_Old_Man @Robert_S_Morley @ronhenzel @smashbaals No, the qualifications don’t reference a man. I already showed you that. No male pronouns, tis is neuter and means anyone, and “one wife husband” is an idiom for faithful if married. Please list...

@ronhenzel @megbasham There wasn’t another amenable Baptist church nearby so it was between a Calvary Chapel and an RCA church. The IFB church was great but the pastor seemed to be convinced I was a semi pelagian so I wouldn’t be allowed to continue...
