@baste_goblin The Greek is not a translation…it’s the manuscript that all translations are based on. If the original (well the copies of the original) have the definite article, then you can’t just ignore it. Also, childbearing is a noun not a verb...

Exposition of 1 Cor 11:3. Paul explains that the "head" of every man is Christ, the man is the "head" of a woman and God is the "head" of Christ. "Head" in this context means source or origin, as this is confirmed in vs 12: "For as the woman origina...

@LifeWithoutLack @smashbaals Married women have two heads: Christ and their husb

@LifeWithoutLack @smashbaals Married women have two heads: Christ and their husband. In this sense, head means source or origin not authority.

@Bro58Tg @smashbaals I have no interest in being accepted by the world. However, it is a patriarchal system that has infected the church. Take off your patriarchy lenses and re-read these texts, studying the details of the context and the original ...

@smashbaals This does not mean the authority over. Since marriage is defined by going back to the first marriage in Eden where the wife Eve was taken from the flesh and bone of her husband Adam, the husband is said to be the source or origin of the...

@MariusM38610501 @MikeWingerii I agree, yet he doesn’t explicitly identify what the source of the issues are or tie them to Artemis cult activities somehow getting into the church. What we see in 1 Timothy is: 1. Myths and Endless Genealogies (1:4)...

@MichaelBerg888 This assumes that He didn’t have other reasons for choosing only male apostles in the original 12. Just as God originally chose the Jews, we as Gentiles are now grafted into one. I argue that in the same way God has broken down the ...

@M_Jensen23 @smashbaals Even Jesus speaks of those who call him “Lord, Lord” and cast out many demons and do many works in HIs name and He says that He never knew them. Casting out demons is not proof one is a Christian, but also is certainly not pr...

@elizabethprata @pastorpilgrim @Lily_Warrior @aimeebyrdPYW @JJumping @ajjumping God is also a helper and that doesn’t mean He is underneath our authority. The creation order has to do with deception, not authority. There is no hierarchy displayed i...

@Solomon_Buchi Headship here doesn’t refer to authority over but to origin or so

@blackmamba_btc @AEQEA @nakedpastor Why are you laughing? The only thing that matters is the Greek. We haven’t lost that. The NASB is pretty good at getting to the original, but if you want the word by word, here it is. “They…explained” (plural)....

@blackmamba_btc @AEQEA @BrotherBoaz @nakedpastor Paul here is quoting from the letter from the Corinthians—go back to 1 Cor 7:1 to see where he starts this. There’s no quotes in the original manuscripts so you have to infer quotes from the context. ...

@AEQEA @blackmamba_btc @BrotherBoaz @nakedpastor Paul wasn’t advocating for a hierarchy of authority. He was talking about Jesus being the source or origin of His church and Adam being the source or origin of Eve thus giving the grounding for marria...

@KaeleyT @pauldirks @PerinDana Yes. Both are not God’s original intention for humanity nor His intention for His church. That said, there is patriarchy seen in the Old Testament. To what extent it matches what some believe Patriarchy to be all abo...

@CovenantReform2 @GingerSnapKid Adam is the source of Eve since she was made from his bone and flesh, and so every marriage after this refers back to this original marriage and the husband is called the source of his wife. Paul is not talking about ...

@CovenantReform2 @ReyannaRice @lynna_listens All people are saved the same way and all become “sons” and receive the inheritance of sons. Man is not the ruler over the woman in the church, though, going back to the original marriage, is referred to ...

@CovenantReform2 @ReyannaRice @BogdanOancea77 @lynna_listens 1 Cor 11:3 is referring to the origin of marriage in that the man (ie. Adam) was the source of Eve. Every marriage goes back to the source of the first marriage for its foundation, and so ...

@randyadkins1689 @DST_QA @YourCalvinist The NT is in Greek and sometimes the English hides the specificity of the original text and smooths it out according to one interpretation. What do you suppose Peter might have been thinking of in Paul’s writi...

@pkh7276_pkh @MarkGrote @OperHealAmerica Those verses in 1 Cor 14:34-35 are not referring to source or origin. However, whenever you see the Greek “kephale” it can mean source or origin depending on the context. Is it proper for anyone to have auth...

@pkh7276_pkh @MarkGrote @OperHealAmerica It doesn’t need to say that here. If everyone submits to everyone, then we know that Eph 5 cannot be encouraging one to rule over the other or a gender hierarchy. Everything goes back to Genesis, and there w...

@pkh7276_pkh @MarkGrote @OperHealAmerica Man is not the authority over or the ruler over the wife, but the “source” or “origin” of the wife. Christ is also the source of His church which is a bride but made up of both males and females. Jesus is sa...

@blitziod @muddymothball @godlywomanhood So if a man divorces his wife and marries another (not another man’s wife, but any other woman) he commits adultery. However, according to you, he doesn’t commit adultery as long as he marries another while s...

@uncledando @ChristChurchTe1 @TomBuck The sun represents God and we reflect light like the earth and moon (we don’t originate it). I’m not sure what your point is here. “…before you start dismantling what He’s done.” - Another baseless allegation. ...

@uncledando @ChristChurchTe1 @TomBuck You are right in that the husband is the kephale of his wife (since marriage always refers back to the first marriage). The problem is that you presume kephale means authority over or rule over. It means source...

@uncledando @ChristChurchTe1 @TomBuck Men and women both form the bride of Christ. Just like Adam was the origin of Eve (she came from his flesh and bone), so also the Christ is the origin of the church (our life comes from Him). Jesus is said to r...

@uncledando @ChristChurchTe1 @TomBuck I’m simply looking at the text and taking it for what it is: a prophecy from God to the woman about what will happen as a consequence of the fall. If you understand head as “source” or “origin” the church origin...

@ChrisHohnholz You make good points here. And clearly men can be deceived and women can rebel against what they know. However, there is no evidence of authority or leadership in the original creation. Yes, God's sovereign will was to create the ma...

@BogdanOancea77 I am not performing mental gymnastics nor am I ignoring anything! I'm taking the text as fully inspired in its original context. That is in no way rebelling against the Bible and God! This is the sort of attitude that needs to stop...

@BogdanOancea77 @BarakWatson @justasbefuddled @MikeWingerii When we are debating these issues, you cannot just quote the Bible, you have to explain it. What does head mean in this context? Is Paul referring to authority and hierarchy to explain the...

@TravelerChurch I think source fits with the description in Eph 5:22-25. As I was studying this, I noticed that the NASB showed “submit” as in “Wives, submit…” in italics, which means it wasn’t in the original. I looked at the NET (New English Tran...

@DeannaR00467515 @AnnaGraceWood Paul says in 1 Tim 2 that the creation order was the reason for either being deceived or not deceived. The reason is clear in a careful reading of Gen 2: God created in front of Adam, so he was aware of the origin of ...

@ymmotrojam @brmorris @CherylSchatz Paul is trying to show the REASON for removing the head coverings and why a woman CAN choose to wear one or not. This is why he has to explain both the original created source relationships and our mutual interdep...

@ymmotrojam @brmorris @CherylSchatz Since marriage is always based on its its inauguration in Genesis, we always go back to that. This is not to say that the wife literally comes from her husband today (that’s what vs 11-12 are pointing out). We ar...

Kephale in v23 means source, grounding marriage in Gen 2 as symbolic definition, not asserting a modern husband is the ontological origin of his wife.
