@carol66944 @EkIesou @ronhenzel Paul is telling Timothy he is not allowing what this specific woman is doing. Paul is not asking Timothy to interfere. Paul is making the decision. Timothy is to give the message to the woman. In that way he is steppin...

@johnmarkallen @MikeWingerii You are correct that either can and have worked out. My question has to do with the fact that giving the husband a mandate to have authority over his wife creates the fertile ground for abuse. It’s probably why successfu...

@EtAbundatGratia @BarnabasBr30151 @mythreesonsb @MikeWingerii A woman cannot be a husband and no one should be confusing between male and female. Yet just as Paul wasn’t a husband and still qualifies, this shows it’s not about male/female but about f...

@JollyStine @peace_got @JoanBandy @CharmyRosewolf @pastherandie @MikeWingerii Well, men tend to have anger issues. Due to the false teaching (which I’m not convinced was abstinence in marriage), the men handled it by praying against the false teachin...

@TheInvisibleDan @mvpompa @MikeWingerii Well shucks... you'd think that if I got it wrong, that @MikeWingerii would have saved us all a lot of time and corrected me on that instead of doubling down. No, he thinks that the teaching is doing great har...

@Louisa_J_Watt @ryancduff @MikeWingerii I certainly have points of agreement with him. As a complementarian (until he called for egalitarians to repent and loudly leave their churches), I found him much more moderate or "soft." He appears to claim hi...

@NotTheBaptizer @onegospel2021 @joyklaprade @MikeWingerii No it’s not. I said Paul uses an idiom which refers to fidelity in marriage. If he wanted to say male, he would have said “must be a man” or even more clearly “must not be a woman.” As soon as...

@JollyStine @ymmotrojam @MikeWingerii 1Ti 2:15 says “the” childbearing (noun), not the verb, so it’s referring to a thing, not an action. 1Ti 4:3 talks about those who were forbidding marriage. But this does not seem to talk about s3x in marriage. P...

@JollyStine @ymmotrojam @MikeWingerii I realize that abstaining from marriage would evidently be abstaining from s3x. But where in the text do you draw the conclusion that married women were abstaining from s3x with their husbands? I'm referring to t...

@MackDonahue @Themostbased098 @MikeWingerii I do not believe that my egalitarian stance is unbiblical because I do not believe that "biblical marriage" is complementarian⎯which does not mean I'm erasing male and female, just that I don't believe the ...

@FreeAme19691836 I believe that any sexual relationship outside that of a lifelong commitment of marriage between one man and one woman is sin. However, I don’t believe the scripture prohibits godly women from teaching truth to men. To explore what ...

@StothersRyan I’m not reducing the meaning of v22-23, just saying that it cannot be hierarchical if v21 is mutual—and it is. The husband and wife are established by the first marriage where Adam was the source of Eve (she came from his flesh and bon...

@carlaskaufel I would agree that marriage is *not* about authority, but if the wife is the only one who submits, then that is the very definition of a hierarchy of authority, is it not? A husband loving and giving himself up is great. Is this not so...

@Richard89885354 Ok, here's my response to your first "argument"... 🦴Richard's Argument 1⃣: male authority in the church and headship in marriage is by "Creative design" (1 Tim 2:13; 1 Cor 11:9) 🍗Response (to 1 Tim 2:13): Paul is using Adam and Eve...

@2samuel12 @_anandacaseyy The idea of the husband being the head of the wife is often misunderstood. I believe it is a mapping back to the first marriage which serves as the foundation for all marriages where Adam was literally the source of Eve bei...

@DST_QA @sympatheticNPC I became egalitarian after about 13 years of marriage and it helped save my marriage. Paul and Peter are addressing particular issues and not saying wives are not to love and give their lives like Jesus not husbands not to su...

@DST_QA @sympatheticNPC @ich1ban123456 @ymmotrojam With an egalitarian marriage, the couple comes to mutual decisions. Many times one bends to the desires of the other, so there is a give and take. One person always getting their way in a conflict ...

@DST_QA @sympatheticNPC I don’t think you understand. I believe we both have the mandate to lay down our lives. All believers are to emulate Jesus, not just husbands. In an egalitarian marriage, both partners are equally valued and respected. In a...

@pauldirks @KaeleyT @DeeGoingsGirl Kephale having the possible meaning of source (supported by how the word is being used in its context) is absolutely important to the egalitarian view of these supposed gender hierarchy passages. Everything goes ba...

@pauldirks @KaeleyT @DeeGoingsGirl While I am egalitarian, I also disagree with Keener on his insistence that Peter is suggesting that Christian marriages should comply with every human institution including husbands being the lord over their wives. ...

@pauldirks @DeeGoingsGirl @KaeleyT Sarah's calling Abraham lord is similar to how we use the term "sir" or "mister" today. The husband and the wife are the leaders of the home and work together as a team. The Biblical statement of the husband as th...

@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...

@pastherandie @Pathfinder4545 @ChristVictorous @Brian_Sauve Yes! And from Adam’s own flesh making her literally part of his own body (which is why marriage is considered a one flesh union). The reason Paul refers to the creation order is not becaus...
