@StevenMKestner @carol66944 @JoelWBerry Paul is advocating for singleness as he himself is in 1Co 7:7-8,32-34,38 and suggesting it is better. Yet translations all have 1Ti 3:2 as saying husband or “faithful to his wife.” The text is clear—it is refe...

@BaldwinOfJ @samuel_costner @WokePreacherTV I'm not lying about anything. How am I a false shepherd? In what way does encouraging a godly woman who God gifts to teach and shepherd into the truth damnable? You really need to stop, take a deep breath ...

@ronhenzel And the witnesses don't need to be elders. And this is not a gang up of those who don't like the person. “I solemnly exhort you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of His chosen angels, to maintain these principles without bias...

@Pastor_Gabe @JoelWBerry It's not a women's Bible study. And yes, the format was made for a video and not in front of a live audience. Do you really need me to show you one where she's in front of a live audience? What makes a pastor? Is it a label ...

@Pastor_Gabe @JoelWBerry That’s not true.

@MargMowczko @KaeleyT The use of 'the woman' in Genesis is before she was named Eve. It is yet another tie back to her ignorance. Your comment that Eve was never referred to as 'a woman' is odd as she not a generic woman. In 1Ti 2:14, we see the an...

@PastorMark Maybe you remember the Proverbs 31 woman?

@The11Hour_1776 Oh that’s cute—I don’t know what egalitarianism is? Certainly we might disagree on what it means, but I know what it means. Treating women like they are eternal children rather than as capable of decision making and leading is a prob...

@PastorMark "But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever." (1Ti 5:8). The Greek word used here is "τις" (tis), which is a gender-neutral term ...

@PastorMark Well, not that getting married is bad. It’s good. But then Paul advocated for singleness. "I wish that all were as I myself am." (1Co 7:7) "To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is good for them to remain single as I am." (1Co 7...

@EH_Esq God never intended gender hierarchies of authority. Both were commanded

@HebronC777 It seems you and those perhaps you have interacted with don’t know what egalitarian teaching is. It is mutual subjection one to another without any gender-based hierarchy. Egalitarians (or a better term ‘mutualists’) treat others as more...

@MargMowczko @KaeleyT For sure people have had—and continue to have—faulty views

@MargMowczko @KaeleyT Paul’s intent in this letter is to encourage and instruct Timothy in stopping false teachers. His noting of how he was ignorant in 1Ti 1:13 and how Hymanaeus and Alexander whom he names blaspheme with knowledge in 1Ti 1:19-20 su...

@_jonbowlin I think that Paul is listing people that these Christians may have a hard time praying for. The kings were often the ones that persecuted Christians. Christians may not well warm and fuzzy feelings about them, but they are not to be exclu...

@JollyStine @JayMallow3 If Christians didn’t participate with Roman customs they could be seen as problematic, but the point appears to be that Christians who practice freedom (what Paul is advocating for) would not have issues here. But all Christia...

@JollyStine How is Paul contrasting quiet, peaceful lives with asceticism? I was envisioning protesting or perhaps running from persecution due to rulers coming against Christians. In other words, pray for kings and those in authority so you can go a...

@MargMowczko @KaeleyT “Marg went shopping. The woman bought shoes.” This is strange speech. We either repeat the name or use the pronoun she; ‘the woman’ is awkward. Granted, what Paul said sounds like it could be Eve, “but she was deceived and bec...

@avyargo @neecygrace @MikeWingerii You really need me to answer them? Ok. There's no woman called "pastor" in the Bible. Neither is there any man called "pastor." What are you trying to prove? There's no Biblical book which claims to be written by ...

@avyargo Actually, I rarely go to 'who wrote Hebrews' as I spend most of my time explaining Ge1-3, 1Co 14:34-36, 1Co 11:1-16, 1Ti 2-3, Tit 1, Eph 5, etc. You are mischaracterizing how we got there. Did you forget this? And then I responded with the...
