@DST_QA That is my point. We don’t take it literally. To think it would apply to sneezing is a little absurd though. There’s nothing in 1 Cor 14:34-35 that says it’s about a woman being a pastor. “If they [wives] want to inquire about anything th...

@DST_QA Concerning prophesy in the church, this is presupposed in 1 Cor 11:5. On what basis would the church be gathered and all men be excluded? Often the pastor will call someone to read the morni

@trapatonzi @UGOOTWEETS Start with the one you quoted. “A woman…a man…” why does Paul use the singular here? He used plural for all people, for all males and for all women in the prior verses. Why wouldn’t he say “women are not allowed to teach…”?...

@pauldirks @KaeleyT As you can see in my post, I said “no one is said to ‘authentein’ anyone”—that word is only used once and not used positively in scripture. The details I provided from Belleville are very convincing about the meaning of Authentei...

@TimHami97610674 @ronhenzel @triplett_mark Of course I could be wrong! But you’ll have to demonstrate it from the text and not by using later commentators as helpful as they can sometimes be. What do you mean by “a Judas apologist”? I have a teach...

@Jon82Mac I appreciate your demeanour. I really try not to get offended even if people get heated, but I appreciate your sincere questions. I don’t see Paul meaning that the husband is in a hierarchical position over, or the authority over, or the ...

@pauldirks @KaeleyT I appreciate your distancing yourself from some patriarchalists. I don’t believe biblically that anyone is to have “authentein” over anyone, so the statement in 1 Tim 2:11-12 has a specific understanding in the context of somethi...
