@restoredkgdm @rightresponsem I’m not questioning scripture. I’m questioning your insistence that mercy is not a consideration. Why wasn’t the woman caught in the act of adultery stoned? Why didn’t J

@DanielT46640724 @BishopJaxi Well, the fact is that the church is the body of Christ, not a wafer (properly bread that is broken) which is symbolic of his body broken for us. We eat in remembrance of Him, not to have Him inside us. He doesn’t leave u...

@grok @ThomasLinge24 @TheOfficeCalvin @VirgilWalkerOMA Paul is known for his creative use of Greek. BDAG doesn’t take that into consideration here. But if this means authority, it is not used elsewhere in scripture positively. And Jesus explicitly te...

@VirgilWalkerOMA The singular could be generic (all women) or specific. Since Paul just used the plural, a shift to the singular stands out if he means any individual woman. His use of the woman with the article in 2:14 means we must at least conside...

@residentreformr @David_wthebeard Rom 3:11 is quoting from Ps 14 and Ps 53. Do you think Paul is taking those passages out of context which clearly refer to “all those fools who say there is no God”? Look at the rest of Ps 14. Can you find any who d...

@StothersRyan @Svigel Now, does this mean that if the pastor suggested we go outside to pray, would I ignore him? Not unless I had a good reason. One time I had an elder try to do Lectio Divina in an adult Sunday school. He told everyone to close the...

@StothersRyan @Svigel Your comment “…in his authority, had us go outside and pray.” This is not the Biblical model. It is not the job of the pastor or elders to command the people to do this or that thing or use their authority to get everyone to co...

@OSRDwarf2 @DrCalumMiller Eve allowed the serpent to whisper? Wasn't it Adam who was told to guard the garden? He was right there beside her the whole time. So then it was Adam who allowed the serpent to speak. But don't forget that Paul shows even ...

@Paula_333 @BronWen727104 That’s what a deacon is… a supportive role. They organize teams, host, weight on tables, distribute donations, etc. Not a single person in the NT aside from Christ is named as a pastor. Only two are named as elder, Peter an...

Here are some relevant scriptures to consider. https://t.co/MhUu6cDgbm

@thebrighttunnel @Rach4Patriarchy I am not conflating anything. I never said women were stronger than men in general. And conserving the actual Biblical intention should be considered true conservatism. Tell me please: were women equally saved befor...

@BrandonABourg @PeterNDecker @sister_slay Not only that, but they constantly refer to it. In the teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Smith (2007), it features the statement: “God himself was once as we are now…” and discusses it as truth, ...

@PeterNDecker @BrandonABourg @sister_slay The fact that the LDS church doubles in size is immaterial. Growth is seen in Islam, does that make Islam true? Just because someone has a sense or feeling inside that what they believe is true doesn’t make i...

@Reneechop @Rattle_Resists @michael_ronning It’s ok if you disagree with me. You can even call it ‘terrible hermeneutics’. But you won’t convince me you are right unless you can show how all the details in the text fit. Consider the following questio...

@JoanBandy Any student sits quietly and listens. The context of this letter is that Timothy was asked to remain to stop false teaching. This particular false teacher was teaching things that put her outside the Christian faith. She needed to stop tea...

@MutamboHangford @Pastor_Gabe On the other hand, a text taken out of context can be a pretext for a proof text. Paul is clearly responding to a prior letter from the Corinthians (see 1Cor 7:1). He is quoting from it in other areas, so you need to co...

@DannySlavich James wasn’t just referring to the poor and the rich. He could have just as well been referring to egalitarians and complementarians—some of the latter who are not even content to have the former sit in their own churches but have to re...

@SOPincorporated I must admit, Heiser is reaching far and wide to find something outside of the text to explain this. If her hair is inherently sexual because of some idea of semen traveling through hair, then why does Paul say that her hair is given...

@jsrrayburn @MikeWingerii Have you read Rom 14? There are things that are not sin unless you believe they are. So I guess you should keep listening to only men. The rest of us don’t have that conviction. And I have scripture to back me up. Sinning u...

@DefiantLs 5. He turned His gaze to the establishment and said “F* you Pontius Pilate.” FALSE. Jesus told Pilate that His kingdom was not of this world. Jesus encouraged Pilate that if he was on the side of truth he would listen to Him. Jesus said ...
