@ravensfoodblog @MikeWingerii What God spoke, He spoke to the man and the woman. He didn't say that "all males that come after you will rule their wives." I don't rule my wife. Do you?

@ravensfoodblog @MikeWingerii Adam is the head of Eve, but not in the sense of her authority or ruler (at least pre-fall). He is the source of Eve as she was taken from his flesh and bone.

@ravensfoodblog @MikeWingerii Does your pastor rule over you? Please explain to

@benedict_usman @EH_Esq Jesus invites believers who overcome to rule with him on

@avyargo Part of what it means to be made in God’s image is that women also rule

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

Eve and Adam were both given rule over the earth. Her authority to judge and rul

@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...

Mike has a unique kind of complementarianism which sees a requirement for males

I find this statement from @MikeWingerii revealing. When someone says a woman cannot be a man I think of immutable differences not eldership. How do comps see the command for both to rule and women made in God’s image as limiting on women from autho...

@Unashamed_Chuck I believe that Paul’s use of the Greek word kephale is not about authority or leadership but has to do with the source relationship between the husband and the wife coming from Eden where Eve was made from and for Adam. Both were com...

@ReformaBro @JoInAthensGa @smugbuster88 @BenZeisloft Paul said that deception has to do with the time sequence in the creation order. Adam was not deceived because he was the ruler of Eve. Adam experiences God’s creative acts including the making of ...

@smugbuster88 @BenZeisloft Both Adam and Eve were commanded using an imperative to rule in Ge 1:28. Both women and men are commanded to make disciples by Jesus' own authority in Mat 28:18-20. To refuse to allow them simply because they are women is...

@AVER735 Gen 4:7 has nothing to do with Eve and is a completely different context. Song of Solomon 7:10 is the relevant sense: “I am my beloved’s, and his desire is for me.” So you agree that the ground is cursed, not Adam or Eve? God never comman...

Yikes! Gen 3 doesn’t curse the man and woman; it curses the serpent and the ground. The woman’s increased toil in childbirth and her desire for her husband suggest a continued affection and bond to him, not dominance. Adam’s blaming Eve is the reas...

@Theo_Chilton That verse is: - not a curse - God speaking to Eve (not Adam) - stating that the man ruling the woman is not in the imperative (not a command) - a prophecy that despite her toil in childbearing, she will still desire her husband (want t...

@landjax @Charb_izard No one is to authentein anyone. Men are not to “exercise authority over” other believers. Where are you getting that from? "Jesus called them together and said, 'You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and t...

@pastherandie @B_Christs_Amb @MikeWingerii @JohnPiper @waynegrudem I would say the authority for the man to rule over the woman wasn’t given by God, but both are equally commanded to rule. The problem with using head in English is we see it meaning ...

@SindlandOz34748 Scripture cannot contradict if it is inspired. Who then is this referring to? "To the one who is victorious and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations—that one ‘will rule them with an iron scepter and will d...

@subq Ok, great. 👍 I think some think that authority is only for males forever. Glad you don’t believe that. "To the one who is victorious and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations—that one ‘will rule them with an iron scep...

@sethhezekiah So “that one” who overcomes will have authority over the nations, right? "To the one who is victorious and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations—that one ‘will rule them with an iron scepter and will dash them...

@Robert_S_Morley @Grump_Old_Man @ronhenzel @smashbaals “He will rule over you” isn’t a curse though. It’s a prophecy. God didn’t say, “I will make sure that he rules over you” nor did He say to Adam “you must rule over your wife” to show He gave Adam...

@Grump_Old_Man @BahBahBased @MikeWingerii Yes but it’s referring to a specific wife who needs first to learn the truth before she teaches. Paul cannot meet his own qualifications. You think that’s the correct interpretation? “If a man” is “if anyon...

@3GNRTX Ep 5:21 says “Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.” The “be subject” verb shown in the English you quoted from v22 is not in the Greek as it comes from v21. What does this mean? It means that whatever v22 and following are sayin...

@coramdeo1 I’m not ignoring the literary structure of Gen 1-3. That the man is created first, the woman is created from the man and she is created for the man does not imply or require that she is to be ruled by the man. Authority is given to both t...

This quote is a complete misrepresentation of scripture. The husband is like God
