@deadtosin610 @JollyStine Since when does Paul care so much what the other apostles think of someone? He is clearly telling his opinion.

@JollyStine @deadtosin610 It seems Priscilla and Aquila functioned as apostles traveling to help support the church at Ephesus as it was established, though they weren't explicitly called this.

@deadtosin610 @JollyStine No women priests? That was in the Old Testament. Only Jews were priests too. The 12 apostles were all Jews. But now you don't have only Jewish pastors. Same thing for women.

@LynnCDell2 @ronhenzel No person whether male or female is considered one of the 12 foundational Apostles upon which the church is built. Apostles after the 12 were those sent out to plant churches like Barnabas. An elder is just a deacon who serve...

@LynnCDell2 @ronhenzel Whatever the case, if the teaching is Biblical, then all⎯including the men, including the apostles⎯all must submit. If it unbiblical, then no matter what authority the person thinks they have, you are not required to submit (ie...

@LynnCDell2 @ronhenzel There we go again—judicial authority. This is all about authority of one gender over the others or hierarchy of authority within the church which is what Jesus spoke against clearly to his apostles. And curiously you say that w...

@LynnCDell2 @ronhenzel Jesus also came as a Jew. All His apostles were Jewish. Yet we don’t have only Jewish male pastors and elders. Remember how they were confused on that in the early church too and how God had to show them that the Gentiles were ...

@ronhenzel So the 12 apostles think these two are really great and Paul’s pointing this out to lend credence to them because his opinion is not important? His appeal isn’t to their work or ministry but how well a select 12 think of them? It would b...

@ronhenzel The other apostles?

@ronhenzel You are right, it doesn't settle the argument. We need context and ev

@ronhenzel The question is why does Paul seem to care that certain ones are well

@ronhenzel And just as I thought, David Garland actually argues against Ron's interpretation... “Paul’s ambivalence about the value of being esteemed by the apostles (Gal. 2:6), however, makes this interpretation of the phrase questionable.” ⎯Garlan...

@ronhenzel Is Paul in the habit of deferring to what the other apostles think of

@ronhenzel Precisely. Because it is how PAUL uses this phrasing, not how other Ancient Greek literature used it in other contexts and by other authors. Authorial intent and context are what we need to pay attention to. Was Paul deferring to how the...

@ronhenzel Yes, we don't know except to understand how Paul is using these words

@ronhenzel Since when does Paul defer to how the apostles esteem certain individuals? “But from those who were of considerable repute [ie. the other apostles] (what they were makes no difference to me; God shows no favoritism)—well, those who were o...

@jold_92 @BasedTorba @AmandaTylerBJC What? We know from scripture that the church is built on the Old Testament and the testimony of the 12 apostles. Peter writes that Paul’s writing is scripture, so we have internal witness that they believed they w...

@jold_92 @BasedTorba @AmandaTylerBJC Ah, I see. Apostolic authority means the 12 apostles. Paul was chosen by Jesus, so we might argue 12+1 since the apostles chose someone to replace Judas. All that happened with the books included in the canon was...

@JamesGi27467089 @ronhenzel I’ll grant you that the word used is aner (for men). It does seem that the apostles certainly thought that Judas’ replacement should be a man. Though it is a replacing of one of the original apostles which was before the c...

@ScottCross_8 Yes, another good point. Or given things started with the Jews (th

@JamesGi27467089 @ronhenzel Second question: why didn’t they consider replacing Judas with a woman? The apostles based their criteria on being with Jesus from the beginning and witnessing the resurrection. They didn’t specify “must be male.” As it tu...

@FranklinShell0 @CatherineMcNiel @ronhenzel These women all played significant roles. 1. Phoebe - a deaconess of the church at Cenchreae. (Rom 16:1-2) 2. Priscilla (Prisca) - taught Apollos and worked alongside Paul; had a church in her home(Act 18:...

@ronhenzel @johnnylately Ok, so in the churches Paul and the apostles oversaw, women were teaching and pastoring along with men, then there were 19 centuries of suppression of women, and we have finally now realized our error and are correcting back ...

@freedom4alltime Ok, it’s not like it cannot work either way. But the ones who still to gendered roles should not consider the ones who don’t to be in sin or weak or rebellious. That’s all. And I’d prefer to go back to the Apostles’ teaching and not ...

@TheMuppetPastor After this we are told fierce wolves will come so trusting in future church patterns and teaching is not wise. Everything goes back to the apostles’ teaching. Acts 20:29-30: "I know that after my departure fierce wolves will come i...

@RisingDisciples What does God’s wrath have to do with persecution from men? The West hasn’t seen real persecution in a long time, but I’m fully aware what happened to all the apostles and many, many, many over the years who were tortured. I can re...

@bannedby Yes! The great commission is Jesus commanding everyone of us to teach

@graceforprize @sympatheticNPC The doctrine that came out of this was set out by the Apostles⎯James, Paul, Peter, but it was also agreed to by the WHOLE church. James was the leader in this judgment but in verse 22 it was the whole church which inclu...
