@IdorenyinEtuk5 @Drprincessjanet @Solomon_Buchi Yes, I can back up my interpretation with scripture. My aim is to take all the details as important in the interpretation⎯the context (both within the letter as well as the audience and culture), the g...

@PastorSJCamp Thanks for sharing those reflections! Without seeing the film, I was thinking maybe they meant that there was no new revelation, as in adding to scripture. But it seems that they don't understand valid prophecy and tongues, which is p...

@BogdanOancea77 Does proverbs 31 prescribe that women’s roles should be restricted to managing their homes? Not at all. Here are some reasons why I don’t believe this passage is prescriptive. Proverbs 31 doesn't necessarily prescribe these roles a...

@DavePosMil @haymes_joshua The passages I was referring to where pronouns are in

@haymes_joshua I always appreciate when I hear a pastor admitting they had something wrong. It takes a lot of guts to admit when you confidently asserted something that you later recognized was unbiblical. However—these passages on women are hard p...

@E_C_Onugha @tolusefrancis @Zeeleciouz @Solomon_Buchi Many passages show Jesus as giving the ultimate example of submitting himself to die for sinners, even for Judas though he was lost! 11. 2 Cor 8:9 - "For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Chri...

@Zeeleciouz @Solomon_Buchi He said "A Christian man was not instructed to submit to his wife" and yet this passage says "the husband also does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does"⎯If the husband does not submit to his wife, then t...

@William_E_Wolfe Please list the scriptures identifying all the men that were called pastors (ποιμήν) in the New Testament. (Hint: the only one specifically identified as a shepherd is Jesus). When you are done looking for that, look for all the me...

@sisi_siki_ Many feel that 1 Tim 3 and Titus 1 teach that elders or overseers must be men because it says “husband of one wife.” However, this is an idiom for faithful if married. It is clear Paul didn’t require marriage just as he didn’t require h...

@bannedby Well, they are the ones separating from me…at least this particular person, especially if he treats me as an atheist. Most of my Calvinist pastor friends would let me be a member of their church, but just won’t let me be a leader. I’m als...

@DDinho555 @Fahim_4real @Sa_Gwang Women preaching true doctrine or pastoring (making disciples according to Matt 28:18-20) is heresy?? I realize you believe it is wrong but heresy is usually reserved for things that make someone outside of the faith...

@RoxyWright0 @Holistic_Voyeur @Bellisima_2004 The fact that your grandmother was not allowed to speak at all pains me and reminds me that the misinterpretation and misapplication of these tough passages is very real and needs to be addressed widely a...

@RobertMacD0nald @smashbaals Pastors and elders/bishop/overseer are synonymous. Deacons are leaders who are not required to teach. - Name one person in the NT church in scripture who was referred to as a shepherd. - Name one person in the NT church...

@DDinho555 @Fahim_4real @Sa_Gwang Sure, that’s fair that you don’t know me. The Bible doesn’t say we need to know thousands of years of theology, much of which has debated the meaning of this passage. "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, ...

@Based_Byzantine @HabitualLinest @Booksbyjess__ @smashbaals Bishop/overseer (ἐπίσκοπος, episkopos) and elder (πρεσβύτερος, presbyteros) are used interchangeably in scripture when speaking of leaders in the church. We might use them differently now, ...

@blackmamba_btc @AEQEA @nakedpastor Why are you laughing? The only thing that matters is the Greek. We haven’t lost that. The NASB is pretty good at getting to the original, but if you want the word by word, here it is. “They…explained” (plural)....

@blackmamba_btc @AEQEA @nakedpastor The reason the husband is said to be the kehpale of the wife is because of Adam and Eve ⎯ Eve was created from Adam as her source. Adam was created first. But authority doesn’t come from being created first or el...

@blackmamba_btc @AEQEA @nakedpastor Priscilla doesn’t rule over Aquila and Aquila doesn’t rule over Priscilla. You are not understanding my view. Here’s the passage: Acts 18:24–26 (NASB 2020): 24 Now a Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, a...

@blackmamba_btc @AEQEA @nakedpastor The Spirit disagrees with you then because the Spirit clearly gifts women to be able to teach and shepherd. Priscilla taught Apollos. Priscilla’s name was listed before her husband, Aquila, showing she was the mo...

@AEQEA @blackmamba_btc @nakedpastor No one is called the “head” of any church. There is no lead pastor/shepherd indicated in scripture except Jesus (1 Peter 5:4). Also, Peter calls himself a fellow elder (1 Peter 5:1) so someone can be both an Apos...
