@fab1usger @Crystalisives @TabeStorm @MikeWingerii Whether it comes from NRSVUE or NASB or any translation doesn't matter as it is absent from the Greek manuscripts. Another question on v10 then: why

@ronhenzel “For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.” (1Co 15:22) Paul does not limit the “made alive” to the elect here. In context (1Co 15:23–24), he speaks of order and outcome, not limitation of scope. The resurrection o...

@KyleJezwinski @dalepartridge I merely repeated Paul’s statement at the end of the section concerning head coverings. What else do you want to talk about? That a woman has authority over her own head (to decide whether to cover or not)—because of the...

@ronhenzel The church is the people of God consisting of Israel and the Gentile

@madd_the_sane @defense_of_fam That the gospel Paul preached was not made up by Him. He received it from Christ, but he also confirmed that it was the same as the apostles. “The gospel which was preached by me is not of human invention… I received i...

@BeardedPresby @FoundersMin @tomascol @GundenGraham @davemitz Well that’s the thing⎯ Paul didn’t say women are not to teach truth to men. In Paul’s personal letter to Timothy he wanted him to remain in Ephesus to instruct certain ones not to teach s...

@AbrahamMbaja @dalepartridge Paul instructs Timothy to remain in Ephesus to stop certain people from teaching false doctrine, not to stop anyone from teaching truth to anyone else. A certain deceived wife who was teaching heresy (whose husband was n...

@Truth_matters20 Taken in context, Paul’s personal letter to Timothy was so that Timothy would remain in Ephesus to instruct certain people not to teach strange doctrines. Not wanting to name the deceived woman teaching heresy since she hadn’t been c...

@Truth_matters20 MacArthur was wrong on 1Cor 14:34-35. Paul is clearly quoting f

@grok @quathamer @dalepartridge First, you have to admit possibilities in the text and not treat it in a wooden literal way. Paul may in fact be using Eden as a prototype of a couple in Ephesus and not as grounding for universal restriction. Presumin...

@grok @quathamer @dalepartridge So you don’t learn you just adapt your emphasis? Paul isn’t grounding his comments in creation order as there was no creation order—just a time sequence which resulted in one gaining more experience and understanding t...

@grok @quathamer @dalepartridge Did Paul not teach mutual edification and that a

@grok @quathamer @dalepartridge No, there you go again. Just repeating what others said like a parrot. Can you not think on your own? Paul repeating speaks in an inclusive way…all can prophesy, so all can be edified and all can learn. If you can’t as...

@grok @quathamer @dalepartridge LOL. So only Pauline uses imperatives? Wow. Think @grok. Can you do it? I’m losing hope. Why is it stated that women are to keep silent?—because it is SHAMEFUL for a WOMAN to speak in the assembly. Really? So men makin...

@grok @quathamer @dalepartridge I’ll let you stew on what I said for a while…maybe you’ll figure it out. You seem to be softening your stance somewhat as if you don’t you really do seem thick headed. As for your comment on 1Cor 14:34-35, do you ackn...

@grok @quathamer @dalepartridge Paul’s appeal to the time sequence order of creation is only in relation to why one was deceived and why one wasn’t. You are overstepping to assume this establishes any sort of requirement especially in worship! It’s q...

@grok @quathamer @dalepartridge Notice how Paul says “I do not permit” showing t

@grok @quathamer @dalepartridge How did you decide between a specific woman and the anaphoric use of the article and a generic woman? How does your view tie the context together with Paul’s stated intent, writing specifically to Timothy to deal with ...

@grok @quathamer @dalepartridge First, I’m not being creative, Paul is. And he has to in order to make this couple clear to Timothy without naming them. Why does it matter what most exegetes think? Desiring God and Crossway are committed to the comp...

@grok @quathamer @dalepartridge Not so. The Adam and Eve reference is using them as prototypes of this couple in Ephesus. Why else would Paul use “the woman” if he meant Eve, but like Eve the woman from 2:11-12 is also deceived and in need of salvati...

@grok @quathamer @dalepartridge Ok, so if I’m following you now, womenkind is guaranteed to be saved through the sovereignly promised messiah, so Paul creates a motivational bridge by using a conditional statement to exhort women to keep themselves f...

@grok @quathamer @dalepartridge Ok, but it’s not speaking about the salvation of

@grok @quathamer @dalepartridge Didaskein does not mean authoritative teaching! There’s no ‘or’ in the text. Authentein doesn’t mean dominion. You made women and men both plural. The grammar demands no such thing. Clearly Paul in his personal letter ...

@grok @WalterKissus @dalepartridge 1Tim 3 and Titus 1 don’t even have explicit male pronouns let alone a prohibition against women. For the way you are treating this, Paul ought to have said it clearly, “an elder must not be a woman.” Rather you have...

@grok @WalterKissus @dalepartridge LOL…silence on women pastors? Good grief, @grok, how many individuals are called pastor in the New Testament? Surely you jest. Paul doesn’t ground his “I do not permit” in Adam’s precedence but in the fact that he ...

@grok @WalterKissus @dalepartridge Listen, Paul simply relates the time sequence order of creation to why Adam wasn’t deceived but Eve was. This was not an order of hierarchy but an explanation for why only Eve was deceived. Look at Gen 2 yourself. A...

@grok @WalterKissus @dalepartridge First, you are wrong. Paul’s comments in 1Ti 2:13-14 are using the fact of the time sequence of creation and the fact that only Eve was deceived to relate to a married couple who were going through a similar thing i...

@grok @WalterKissus @dalepartridge Sorry, @Grok, you are going to have to do better. Summarizing what commentaries say is not how we interpret the Bible. Stick to just the text, the grammar and the context or you will mess this one up every time. The...

@DanielleMc24097 @ThokGrararah @dalepartridge Peter admits some things Paul writes are hard to understand: “And regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; just as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you, as a...

@elderthorkell @schism What specifically in the theology is far better? God tells us that in heaven there is no marriage and Paul says our marriage vows are until death and not past that (Rom 7:1-2). So you just want to believe something else? Why ...

@J0nMormont @BlondeTemplar @dalepartridge 1Tim 3:12 doesn’t require a male just like it also doesn’t require a pastor is married and has multiple children able to and who believe (Paul himself was single and childless…unless you think Paul was disqua...

@DanielleMc24097 @ThokGrararah @dalepartridge Oh my goodness. That is not logical whatsoever. You think all women are more easily deceived? Why then does Paul say that he’s concerned that an entire church might be deceived like Eve (2Co 11:3)? You re...

@ThokGrararah @DanielleMc24097 @dalepartridge That’s correct. Paul’s context of 1Tim which is a personal letter to Timothy is that he wanted Timothy to remain in Ephesus to instruct certain people to stop teaching strange doctrines, not to stop anyon...

@prayandfast2 Paul, the other apostles and Jesus (!) believed what I wrote… is that not enough for you? Remember what Paul said: “I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; and from among your own sel...

@Here_s_Hoping “Please trust us”… He seems like a nice man, but this is not why you follow someone. Even the apostle Paul never said such things and appealed to his volunteer hours as the basis of trust. “But even if we, or an angel from heaven, sh...

@Adminosaurus @schism There’s zero record of any New Testament or early post-apostolic church performing proxy baptisms. Early writers like Tertullian and Chrysostom explicitly condemned the idea as a heretical misunderstanding of Paul’s words. They ...

@Adminosaurus @schism First, if only Paul preached it, then how would the Bereans check his teaching against the other scriptures since this is nowhere else found in scripture? Second, Paul is not teaching baptism for the dead but is refuting the Co...

@jayrugman @BotanicalGalaxy The fact that you acknowledge that LDS “do not get [their] theology from the Bible” shows that LDS do not believe scripture is sufficient as the apostle Paul proclaimed. And by examining LDS teaching it is clear it disagre...

@Nate_Dawg_64 @Toneskeee If you want to argue from authority in marriage, there is nothing but mutual authority described in 1Co 7:3-4,10-16. Paul says the same thing to both spouses. There is no hierarchy in marriage. Having authority over one’s bod...

Was Adam responsible for Eve’s sin because he was her head? No, it was because h

@ElifNull @Vizini7 @smashbaals Paul is not changing who Israel is but distinguishing believing Israelites from unbelieving Israelites. The next verses prove it: “Nor are they all children because they are Abraham’s descendants… but ‘through Isaac yo...

@ElifNull @Vizini7 @smashbaals Yes, a Jew must be one “inwardly”. But Paul is speaking about individual salvation, not the abolition of Israel’s ethnic distinction. If “Israel” no longer meant ethnic Jews according to the flesh, then Ro 9:3-4 (“my k...

@ElifNull @smashbaals In Ro 11, Paul explicitly contrasts Israel and Gentiles throughout: “I am speaking to you who are Gentiles…” (Ro 11:13) “A partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in” (Ro 11:25) If...

@annelikok @smashbaals As for marriage, there is teaching from Paul on authority
