@William_E_Wolfe Isn’t it a sin to be unbiblically partial in your confession to exclude egalitarians? In the same way you claim to not be partial based on ethnicity should equally apply to gender. W

@MikeWingerii Were you thinking of Occam’s Razor? “the problem-solving principle that recommends searching for explanations constructed with the smallest possible set of elements.” This is good wisdom. In the case of 1 Tim 2:11-15, however, we are...

@_JustWriting @TomBuck @DaveSmith2019 Paul writes “I do not permit a woman to teach or have authority over a man…”. Some questions: - Why does Paul say “I do not” instead of “God doesn’t”? - When Paul clearly knows how to use the plural of women in v...

@Thygar @AngelaGraceLOU @L_T_Pearson @JustinPetersMin You are listing Aquila first, but scripture list Prisca first. Anyways, if they had to educate Apollos, wouldn't it make more sense to hypothesize the ones who educated him are more likely candid...

@L_T_Pearson @JustinPetersMin 2. Prisca (or some say Priscilla) and Aquila were not "disciples" of Paul. 3. Prisca is known to the churches of Asia. It appears obvious that they would have been known by the apostles. Prisca is known to Luke as he wr...

@L_T_Pearson @JustinPetersMin There were counterfeit letters from Paul so he frequently identified himself even writing at the end to show it was him (as his eyes were bad, so he wrote large letters). You are hypothesizing of course, which we have t...

@L_T_Pearson @RupertP46422908 @JustinPetersMin After giving the requirements for elders and deacons (with no male pronouns, but using the male gender), Paul says “women likewise” or in the same way or identically. He then says another point about de...

@scottspeig @rsbarrington @TomBuck 1. “Women likewise…” or in the same way (1Tim3:11) 2. 1Cor14:34-35 is Paul quoting from the Corinthians letter are refuting it (v36), see 1Cor7:1. 3. In 1Tim2:11-15, Paul refers to an ignorant woman teaching false d...

@RupertP46422908 @JustinPetersMin I don’t know about your kids, but I teach mine to read in context. Paul was quoting from the letter from the Corinthians 1Cor7:1. 1Cor14:36 refutes the quote by saying, “What? Came the word of God out from you [men...

@MikeWingerii @iheartJ37 But there are no male pronouns in this passage. There’s no “must not be a woman” or “must be a man.” “One woman man” has to be one way or the other and the default would be male. This requirement is repeated for deacons an...

@PaineInTheNeck @foxes_on_fire @AmReformer The qualifications in Titus 1 are very similar to 1 Tim 3. Faithfulness to one's spouse (if they have one) is a character quality. Paul doesn't make ethnicity, socioeconomic status or gender a qualificatio...

@m_a_nilles @southernpresby @5pointsMckinley @AnnaGraceWood You do realize there is no marriage or giving in marriage in the next age, right? It is time for women to mature and take their place of shared responsibility to prepare them for the next a...

@PaineInTheNeck @foxes_on_fire @AmReformer I am not denying Paul uses the words “husband” and “wife” yet you seem to understand that it doesn’t require marriage. You probably also agree that an elder doesn’t have to have children even though that is...

@PaineInTheNeck @foxes_on_fire @AmReformer 1 Tim 3:1—If τις (anyone/someone) aspires to the office of ἐπισκοπῆς (overseer, feminine). Then we get a list of requirements followed by "women likewise". μιᾶς γυναικὸς ἄνδρα means monogamous. Nowhere is...

@ball_dummy @zechariah1680 @thebereanmillen So only husbands can teach? You know you are sawing off the branch you are standing on…Paul wasn’t married. In 1 Cor 7:1 Paul indicates he is responding to things they wrote him. 1 Cor 14:34-35 are a quo...

@ball_dummy @zechariah1680 @thebereanmillen What explicit instruction says "An elder must not be a woman"? In 1 Tim 3 you have "one wife husband" but this is simply monogamous. Paul wasn't married and surely he met his own requirements. Then later...
