@Brian_Sauve So you changed ‘a woman’ to the plural and made authentein into normal authority that men exercise and neglected the context that the personal letter to Timothy was about dealing with fal

@Reformed_Zoomer @j_robert_kirk @MolderAnna26649 @Brian_Sauve Also, protect her from what? From deception? You can only do that when you are not deceived yourself. Deception is not a gendered issue; many men can be deceived. Paul even says so: "But...

@Reformed_Zoomer @j_robert_kirk @MolderAnna26649 @Brian_Sauve You read scripture in snippets like there is zero context. Do you really think women are not to love sacrificially? REALLY?! Why do you suppose Paul gives what appears to be a one sided c...

@j_robert_kirk @MolderAnna26649 @Reformed_Zoomer @Brian_Sauve She submits as the weaker vessel? You mean she is mentally weaker too? My wife asks me to carry heavy things and open jars…so as the weaker vessel I submit to helping her. We are weak and...

@j_robert_kirk @MolderAnna26649 @Reformed_Zoomer @Brian_Sauve You love…she doesn’t love? She can’t love as much as you? She doesn’t get to love? She submits…but you just control? Lovingly getting your way in every disagreement? And to boot you clai...

@j_robert_kirk @Reformed_Zoomer @MolderAnna26649 @Brian_Sauve 1Ti 2:12 is a statement made in the context of a personal letter to Timothy in which Paul’s main concern was stopping false teaching and how to handle blaspheming false teachers differentl...

@TonyMor52435077 @masonmennenga If we sat down for coffee, I could tell you stories about church behaviour, that of leaders and pastors. Again, my point is not that there are people failing—there are many, but that this is not the basis on which I b...

@ScottCross_8 @wolfeman2120 @NamedWar @TheMuppetPastor @KittyMitchell7 You are putting words in my mouth—I said I’m questioning the judgment and fairness of the courts who tried him. I haven’t made a claim that they are corrupt or that every jury in ...

@LogicSaysBurn @Cooper9DL Fundamentally it’s the context that determines meaning; the range of meaning or past usage merely informs how Paul might have been using the word. So regardless, you have to go to the text in context as the final arbiter as ...

@Cooper9DL You are taking 1Ti 2:12 out of context and are treating “head” in the sense of authority or master over which is not the sense in which Paul was using the word kephale. Your comment about 1Ti 3:1-13 being directed at only men is likely due...

@westminbaptist Except “head” is not meant as master over but as source or origi

@coramdeo1 @kdclaunch You get my point? How? I am the one who is taking Paul’s purpose as written, and you are the one who is taking what is not explicit and making something more which is not stated and then taking the poor interpretation of many i...

@VCITW All the church history I need is in the New Testament.

@coramdeo1 @kdclaunch No one (including me) is arguing that the letters written to specific individuals were not intended to be read by the rest of us and treated as scripture. What I’m saying is that we must take Paul’s meaning in the context that ...

@Mayo_Mingzi @kdclaunch Deborah had highest authority over everyone in Israel as God’s mouthpiece both as prophet and judge. She was just like Samuel. So your statement that “women must not have spiritual authority over men” is just false since God ...

Because Kyle gets the context and purpose of the letter wrong and misunderstands

1Ti 2:11-15 addresses a specific situation of a deceived wife teaching false doctrine and her undeceived husband (likely an elder) being silent and doing nothing. What about the qualification for overseers? 1Ti 3:1-13 does not explicitly forbid wom...

@EkIesou @smashbaals It is correct to say that ‘a woman’ can either refer to a specific woman/wife or a generic woman/wife. The way we determine which it is is by the context. Paul’s reference to Adam and Eve as a prototypical couple and the “She…the...

@smashbaals If you are this careless in exegeting scripture, I’m worried about you. 1. All women are not barred from preaching. 1Ti 2:12 doesn’t say anything about preaching, refers to “a woman” (singular) and not all women, in context has to do wit...

@WizardTraveling In addition Paul is adding in Kings in that he is saying to pray for ALL men EVEN kings and EVEN the false teachers. This is an extension of the whole (all men) with specific people picked out for a reason, but it doesn’t have anythi...

@WizardTraveling Kings are not classes of men. What Paul is saying here is that Kings are not picked out because they are a class of men that God has picked to be saved, but that Kings are important SO THAT we may lead a tranquil and quiet life. The ...
