@Writerwhsmith @JamesPelton18 This is absolutely correct! It is a word used in the verb form only once in the New Testament and only 8 other times in antiquity. It is extremely rare and one would wonder why Paul chose this specific word to mean norma...

@sethhezekiah No, silly. Heresy has to do with the fundamentals of the faith. No one has to repent of mutual submission to be a Christian. All of the people you listed went along with the culture when it came to women at least to some degree or anot...

@BBWoofield First, there's no mention of God cursing the man or the woman, only the ground and the serpent (more than all the animals, so the animals are cursed too). What Ge 3:16 is saying is that Eve's desire or longing for her husband will be des...

@Grump_Old_Man @Robert_S_Morley @ronhenzel @smashbaals Oh boy, Grumpy. Are you suggesting that as Jesus is the Lord and master that the husband is the lord and master over his wife? Because that's not Paul's argument here. Paul's argument is to agai...

@spaceangelvoice I'm not a fan of the everything that came from the age of enlightenment, but yes, in Paul's writing we have very clearly that there is a new unified "person" that is called the Christian and the walls that formerly existed are now to...

@springbrease @KaeleyT Thanks for asking. The comment I get from a lot of patriachalists is that their view reflects the view of the church fathers and 2000 years of church history. And they are right (though it doesn't reflect the view of the apostl...

@geekyguyjay But God didn't curse the woman or the man. If you look at the test, He cursed the ground and the serpent (and the animals). The "patriarchy" culture I'm referring to isn't even from the Old Testament, it's from the time after Jesus. It'...

@Grump_Old_Man @ronhenzel @smashbaals I agree, God is not progressive. Yet there are some things that changed in the church like the divide between Jew and Gentile and yes, between male and female. No one is saying that it has to be 50/50. It’s not ...

@Grump_Old_Man @ronhenzel @smashbaals No my grumpy friend. Paul was counter cult

@susie40647926 Hi Susie! It’s a struggle because something doesn’t seem right. For example, a few verses before Paul writes that women must keep silent, he writes: "…When you assemble, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a to...

@Here4Now0829 @sssssss09775798 “One wife husband” is an idiom not a requirement for them to be married men. Paul wasn’t married and is most definitely an overseer, and Timothy doesn’t appear to be married either. “If a MAN desire…” is a bad translat...

@ronhenzel @smashbaals Well, all but the churches in scripture. But you are right. The church really was influenced by the culture. Let’s see just how culturally relevant your view is: Aristotle: “Silence is a woman’s glory.” Sophocles: "Silence gi...

@jtdxn_ @gxp11 @MikeWingerii I say our morality because it depends on a belief in and submission to the God of the Bible. It’s not subjective, but it’s not our job to legislate nonbelievers to repent. The government may or may not affirm LGBTQ. It s...
