@GetoD6812 Yes. And I’m not “lefttoid”—I believe scripture is inspired in all that it says including the grammar and specific word choices.

@ronhenzel This is not necessarily true. As an egalitarian, I believe I am following inspired scripture more closely than when I was a comp. That said, if the belief is that the Bible is clearly against women in leadership and one purposely goes aga...

@emery__bored I’m not shrinking from kephale. Paul uses that word to connect every marriage to the first marriage where Adam is the source or origin of Eve and the initiator. This is why the man is to

@EManFleming Eve was described as a help to Adam which means he was the one with the need. This does not mean she was created for one way service to him. God is also described as our helper using the same Hebrew word ("ezer") used for Eve. This term...

@C_J_Ely Yes. Willingly submitting onesself (which even Jesus did to us) is far different than being forcefully subjected to (like the animals and other creatures are to humans).

@ronhenzel Is Paul’s reference to the Berean believers and how they tested his words spoken only to the elders? Are only the elders to examine and test? If a non elder finds an inconsistency, should they be silenced simply because they are not servin...

@ronhenzel Women in general or just married women (since they alone have husbands to ask at home)? You must make sense of what the text specifically states. Rather than holding back the spirit, Paul encourages speaking and even interrupting another ...

@thecrazypastor @ronhenzel The only view that makes sense of this text is Paul quoting from the letter from the Corinthians (see 1Co 7:1)⎯this is for the reasons you noted. There is no such law which could ever be reasonably interpreted to suggest th...

@CaidenHooks @carol66944 @MikeWingerii Where does it say “if a man seeks”? The word used is “tis” in the neuter which means someone or anyone. You are imposing a clearly unintended meaning on the idiom “one wife husband” since even Paul isn’t marrie...

@David_Timothy17 @MikeWingerii Then why is he calling those who spread egalitarian teaching to repent? Why is he recommending female pastors to resign? Why is he advising his followers who go to egalitarian churches to leave loudly and take others wi...

@MikeJGreiner @ryancduff @MikeWingerii What makes you think Paul meant that God created Adam as the first ranking commanding officer over any future created human? Paul’s point was simply that Adam was created chronologically before Eve. This had an...

@th3muse @KylePierce96 Apologies for any misunderstanding. Mike is a complementarian who believes women cannot occupy the role of elder/pastor or act or speak in a manner which could be interpreted as her being an elder or pastor. I am egalitarian a...

@KylePierce96 @th3muse Hmm. I knew that Mike believes women can be deacons and didn’t say he didn’t. But my response given @th3muse’s question wasn’t as clear as it could have been. Sorry for the confusion. Mike believes women can be deacons because...

@MikeWingerii @th3muse I was looking at my post to try to figure out how you thought I was suggesting you believed that women couldn’t be deacons. I think I see what happened. @th3muse was concerned how complementarians do not support deacons. She us...

@lunarCelerity @MikeWingerii Yes. The tendency is to look at clear scriptures which seem to include women even at the highest levels having authority over men, teaching men, etc., but then a few passages later which seem to contradict or have some de...

@StevenMKestner @MikeWingerii No because any s3xual relationship outside of the confines of a marital relationship between a man and a woman is sin. It is clearly listed as such. Show me where a godly woman teaching truth to men is a sin, or where ...

@peace_got @MikeWingerii First, treating other believers like they are in unrepentant sin because they support or are female elders/pastors is a serious problem that causes disunity. Second, tolerating others that disagree with you on debatable matt...

@benkrake @MikeWingerii If it is secondary then that means it is a debatable issue and is not a matter of sin. So we need to treat it that way and truly learn to tolerate those we disagree with on debatable matters. Where is a godly women teaching t...

@lunarCelerity @MikeWingerii Mike has had a long time to correct or clarify his definition of secondary. As best as I can tell, to him it's a matter of perceived severity, not sin. He thinks that egalitarian teaching greatly harms marriage. How does ...

@peace_got @MikeWingerii The fact that we disagree is evident. But to presume it is because people don't read their Bibles is to presume your view is correct. Believe me when I say that I have read the relevant passages many times and extremely caref...

@MikeJGreiner @MikeWingerii I'm pretty sure that if we sat down and I asked you the questions raised by the text, I would have a faithful exegesis treating everything written as inspired and you would be left scratching your head with no answers and ...

@ronhenzel @kennyinnes My church doesn’t encourage prophecy and tongues because of Asuza but because of 1Co 12-14. The idea that understanding and exhortation is not necessary after the final sentence of Revelation was penned is clearly fallacious. ...

@ronhenzel @Whitehorse1255 Why else would Paul specify that “2 or 3 prophets should speak and the others should pass judgement (1Co 14:29)? Should we pass judgment on canon revelation? It would seem that there is prophecy made in Corinth that is not ...

@StevenMKestner Can a son hold the office of an elder?

@ronhenzel @LynnCDell2 @ymmotrojam @CherylSchatz @JollyStine @peace_got @MikeWingerii Just to clarify: I have never once claimed any authority. The only authority related to Jesus’ own supper is Jesus himself. Paul related Jesus’ commands. No one is ...

@Whitehorse1255 @ronhenzel @ymmotrojam @CherylSchatz @JollyStine @pastherandie @peace_got @MikeWingerii Sounds like a great story about Edwards. However, shouldn’t we just do what scripture says? Communion is both a unifying meal and a gospel proclam...
