@DST_QA @sympatheticNPC @ich1ban123456 @ymmotrojam There is actually mutual submission in the Trinity as each serves each other. This is clear in scripture. Whatever Jesus asks if the father, the fa

@DST_QA @sympatheticNPC There’s nothing wrong with you feeling that way. I wouldn’t be angry at my wife. We did a simulation at a marriage retreat and my wife chose me to live (we had to pick who wo

@DST_QA @sympatheticNPC Ok, I understand what you are trying to say. We don't follow the example of generals and the military because this doesn't necessarily reflect scripture. We are not fighting a physical war which requires physical strength, b...

@DST_QA @sympatheticNPC My wife previously did not want the responsibility to lead. When I showed her that she needed to accept her own responsibility and that it wasn't a sin to lead, she grew into this and matured as a person. Treating women as e...

@DST_QA @sympatheticNPC No, I don't think that this is required only of the husband. It depends on the circumstances. In a war, why would one send the physically weaker partner to carry a gun and slog in the mud and trenches? If I need a kidney tr...

@sympatheticNPC @DST_QA One more comment⎯Yes, Paul directs men to love their wives as Jesus loves His church, but do you think that women are not also to love as Jesus loves? Just because that is not stated doesn't mean it is not implied. Perhaps t...

@DST_QA @sympatheticNPC Sure, I understand you are not only responding to the few who are interacting. If you think of submitting as a matter of authority over the will of another, I think this may be why it is repulsive to you. We are not "command...

@DST_QA @sympatheticNPC You keep going to the obey and commanding part. Mutual submission is not about commanding and obeying against our will. Both the parent and the child have a common goal to eat, the parent alone has the power to provide and c...

@DST_QA @sympatheticNPC Why do you need a quora post to summarize what you said quite well in 2 sentences? I never said that we are to treat God like a genie, or that he will do something that is not aligned with his will, but that he submits to doi...

@cezargr1 @kblineage @JennaEllisEsq Making disciples means sharing the gospel. We are not given the authority to go and force unbelievers to repent and believe. "Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity." (Col...

@DST_QA @sympatheticNPC Why is this always about authority order? Do you think that because the order is Jew first then Gentile that Jews have authority over Gentiles? "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings ...

@DST_QA @sympatheticNPC "It was disobeying God by not being a disciple to his wife so that should would fully understand" This is close to what I see the text saying. God gave Adam more experience about Him than Eve and as a result expected him to ...

@DST_QA @sympatheticNPC “Women and children have wilfull submission” All submission is to be willful. Did you forget that men need to submit to all in the body too? If so, then submission has nothing to do with authority otherwise mutual submissio...

@DST_QA @sympatheticNPC Yes, authority needs to be given. We need to deal with the text and not add things in that are not there when authority is given in this very context to both Adam and Eve. God gave dominion to humans as an imperative in Gen ...

@sympatheticNPC @DST_QA I’m missing this conversation due to work… but just wanted to note that authority has to be given, not inferred. No where does God give authority of the man over the woman. The naming occurs after the fall (God uses Isha bef...

@pauldirks @KaeleyT @DeeGoingsGirl On the contrary, when the church is complementarian-ized, the uniqueness of the work of Christ is taken away. - Where do we have a human being told to sanctify another human being? - Where are the methods the man i...

@InnovationHQ2 @punkrockproseco @ADRoblesMedia It’s not crystal clear. In 1 Cor 14:34-35, Paul is quoting from the letter the Corinthians wrote to him and in 1 Tim 2:11-15 he is pointing out a situation that he left Timothy behind in Ephesus to deal...

@InnovationHQ2 @punkrockproseco @ADRoblesMedia A heretic is someone who teaches contrary to the essentials of the faith. A heretic is not someone you disagree with on a non essential, but is a non Christian. Please tell me⎯what council or creed ass...

@kelcy_lowry @JeremyMBauman @hamillaaron @MarkGrote That’s not how we read Gal 3:28. Even complementarians agree that this means equal in salvation and not the elimination of biological sex, ethnicity or socioeconomic status. Egalitarians are just ...

@kelcy_lowry @JeremyMBauman @hamillaaron @MarkGrote You are free to share your opinions without substantiating them if you choose, but the fact that we disagree is already on the table. Also, treating women as equal in that those of godly character ...

@InnovationHQ2 @punkrockproseco @ADRoblesMedia The church is the only one who judges between the worship of God or not, even then, Christians don't judge the heart or motives of other professing believers. The state is not to act like the church. I...

@bagby_abe @BibleBashed I'm not advocating feminism or masculism but an equal view, which I'm sure you know. I appreciate you sharing your opinion. Sharing your opinion and whether or not I accept it as my own is important and not a "pearls before ...

@BentheButcher80 @Jayessaych @Dioko1462 @Brian_Sauve Each individual was required to account for their own personal responsibility. God did not say to Adam, “Adam, why didn’t you take your role of authority over Eve” but “Where are you? Who told yo...

@MarkGrote Often when it can be either a man or a woman the male construction is the default. Paul doesn’t say “must not be a woman,” he uses a gender neutral pronoun “tis” and also he clearly doesn’t mean married as Paul advocated for singleness an...

@BibleBashed You need someone to help you with this one? 😂 This was also in BDA

@BenZeisloft Ben, I like it when you quote scripture like this. 👍

@TheYagosto @AverageSc0t @MikeWingerii @NathanFinochio Indeed, the verses seem to suggest a restriction and wrestling with them is a good and necessary thing. I appreciate when complementarians move from simply quoting the verse to trying to dive de...

@TheYagosto @AverageSc0t @MikeWingerii @NathanFinochio As a married man, I recognize the many ways that me and my wife complement one another and yet we both lead according to our gifting, responsibility and desire⎯neither is the authority over the o...

@NathanFinochio @MikeWingerii I think it’s a mischaracterization to say complementarians hate women. They see them as equals but treat them as having a subservient role to males at least while on this earth and believe that this is the Biblical mode...

@smashbaals Christ will rule at the second advent. He will reign on the throne of David from Jerusalem. In the mean time, "…I [Paul] urge that requests, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving be made in behalf of all people, for kings and all who ...

@woodsywomxn The woman is both the glory of God and the glory of man. Paul’s comment about women submitting to their husbands does not negate the instruction that all are to submit to one another in Eph 5:21 in the fear of Christ—that includes husba...

@MarkGrote What type of speech? Women are assumed to be praying and prophesying in 1 Cor 11:5. Paul’s concern was not about silencing one gender but about the orderly use of the gifts for the benefit all: 1 Corinthians 14:31 (NASB 2020): “For you ...

@ronhenzel Are you saying that the PCA always restricted leadership to men in order to be in ecclesial fellowship? This should be a matter of conscience and ought to be removed from any requirements. What if the PCA required meeting on Saturday and...

@IIIIIJOSHIIIII @JohnHar63885981 @DickSaban1 No, I don’t know where you are getting this from! Any sexual relationship other than within the confines of marriage between one man and one woman is sin and would preclude someone from being qualified to...

@realvamphours @IssaDegen @smashbaals On the other hand, when a complementarian “exegetes” it, it’s usually them just quoting it. Many don’t even seem to recognize that Paul’s grammar and word usage is complicated in this personal instruction to Tim...

@pastherandie @lastadolphin @Brian_Sauve Leading is possible but this doesn’t mean authority over or the boss of or the final decision maker. Jesus says the greatest leader is the greatest slave. Ideally both lead in an equal partnership according ...

@pastherandie @Pathfinder4545 @ChristVictorous @Brian_Sauve The question is what does the text mean by head, because Paul sees Adam as the head of Eve. Kephale has a range of meaning and the meaning intended is understood by the context. In this, t...
