@thatwit45 @InfinitelyManic @AF_Tugboater @LilaGraceRose He didn’t deny that He Himself was good. The man saw Jesus merely as a human teacher and Jesus’ question pressed him on his views.

@carol66944 @ymmotrojam @MattSmethurst So then if this is nothing more than the other times in the chapter where Paul tells the other to be silent, if a woman has a prophecy or scripture or song or…, can she speak? Because I haven’t yet gone to a ch...

@robotcop1984 @sola_chad Well, the epistles don’t forbid women from serving as elders or teaching truth to anyone. I asked the question b/c of the claim that the NT doesn’t list any F pastors so clearly they weren’t allowed. My response was there ar...

@carol66944 @KennethOrtiz @BronWen727104 @Paula_333 If everyone is expected to learn, then that means questions may be asked. I don’t know about you, but I don’t learn unless I ask questions. Asking questions is not the same as prophecy, etc., but t...

@carol66944 @KennethOrtiz @BronWen727104 @Paula_333 Carolyn, how is v34-35 for our benefit? How is it for the benefit of married women who have questions? 14:34-35 differs significantly from v26-31, and in fact, conflicts with it. V31 is clear: “For ...

@carol66944 @KennethOrtiz @BronWen727104 @Paula_333 So you think the law is: “If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church” (14:35)? Where does the law ...

@carol66944 @KennethOrtiz @BronWen727104 @Paula_333 Since the purpose of the gathering is for mutual edification, why silence questions, and second why silence only questions from married women? Paul also says “For you can all speak” but just 1 at a ...

@autocorrect2_0 @BronWen727104 Ah, that’s what you were getting at. Submission doesn’t mean unquestioning obedience. It also doesn’t mean you are supposed to subject yourself to physical abuse. It just means to serve his best interests. I serve my wi...
