@BibleBashed Every woman you refer to as damaged goods was damaged by a man. Which is worse? The damaged or the one doing the damage?

@pauldirks @KaeleyT Respectfully, I think calling Kaeley’s comments “vitriol” is over the top. I know you actually agreed with her objection and are nuanced on this and a sincere complementarian, but perhaps you might have a different perspective if...

@ArmoryOC @Brian_Sauve You don’t seem very open. I deal with every one of these

@ArmoryOC @Brian_Sauve “A woman” not “all women.” Paul was dealing with a specific situation of a deceived woman who was ignorant but who was no longer in the faith. She was teaching heresy and her husband who wasn’t deceived was not speaking up. ...

@ArmoryOC @Brian_Sauve Not every woman had a husband or perhaps even a living fa

@ArmoryOC @Brian_Sauve There’s nothing in the Biblical law that says that women should be silent in the assembly. That is from the Talmud, the oral Jewish traditions because they were trying to prevent males from lusting after women by hearing their...

@ArmoryOC @Brian_Sauve The forefathers are the apostles whom the church is built upon. They did not require only men to be pastors. I respect the Holy Spirit who inspired the scriptures and conveyed that they are sufficient to be fully capable and ...

@40tons70mph @Brian_Sauve @CovenantReform2 That’s not true. The church at large is not always correct. I’m not sure whether you are a Roman Catholic or not, but if you are protestant, Luther opposed the tradition of the church and protestants belie...

@NijayKGupta Nijay, your book is great and its a wonderful start to the conversation. However, we still need to work together as there were still some things that we could improve on like how we explain the tough passages, such as 1 Tim 2:11-15. I ...

@VinhasTJ @Brian_Sauve I guess you didn’t read my post I linked. The Greek orders “one” in front so the emphasis is on oneness or fidelity to one’s spouse. But Paul wasn’t married. Would Jesus even be qualified as an overseer? I don’t think Paul ...

@Brian_Sauve The purpose of learning theology is to teach others everything Jesus taught his disciples. “In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You nee...

@playoncrutches @hfjohnsen @votemichelleppc You may think it’s stupid, but kids are like sponges taking in as gospel truth whatever they are told by teachers. They also respond to encouragement and peer pressure. Puberty is also a confusing time; i...

@Brian_Sauve @CovenantReform2 Just because you found a passage instructing about behaviour doesn’t mean that women are forbidden to teach theologically. In the great commission, all believers are commanded to make disciples of all peoples. There is...

@BibleBashed I’m shocked that over 50% of respondents so far think women need to have children to be saved‼️ "She [singular] will be saved [future, so cannot be Eve] through the childbearing [definite article + noun, NOT a verb, a reference back to ...

@YouMayCallMeV1 @DickSaban1 @BibleBashed I never said that. I said there is more involved here than just the woman, but Dadbod is targeting women using a text that seems to implicate the man (likely due to the patriarchal nature of the culture at th...

@DickSaban1 @YouMayCallMeV1 @BibleBashed I don’t have liberal beliefs on abortio

@DickSaban1 @BibleBashed I never said preferential treatment for women in the case of abortion, I said “Where’s the man?” It takes two to create a baby. Is the father pleading for the life of his child? My egalitarian views are absolutely rooted i...

@Valholl_3 @RichardDawkins At the time I created this slide deck I didn’t respond to every one of his claims. I knew it would come back to bite me. You are right, I should respond to them all. One thing that surprises me about the God of the Bible...

@LadyDemosthenes @OPRisely @pgklee @mark_petereit It’s in the grammar of the passage. I went through it in detail in that thread I attached…which should take much less time than even half of one of Mike Winger’s videos!! Paul left Timothy to stop f...

@LadyDemosthenes @OPRisely @pgklee @mark_petereit That passage in Timothy—vs 11-15⎯ is addressing a specific deceived woman who is teaching false doctrine, and her husband who is not deceived but silent—just like their prototypes, Eve and Adam. I su...

@artdafinakenya Why are you quoting this verse? Even by your own interpretation it would apply only in church. How does this apply to social media? These verses were actually a quote from the Corinthian church in their letter to Paul. Paul rebuke...

@DickSaban1 @Peacemaker811 @PubliusJosephus Every baby is the result of two part

@DickSaban1 @Peacemaker811 @PubliusJosephus Christ submitted to die for the church. He did what was best for us not what was best for himself. He came to serve, not to be served. The leader is the one who serves everyone. We are all to follow his...

@DickSaban1 @Peacemaker811 @PubliusJosephus “For the husband is the source of the wife (since marriage is defined by the first couple and Eve came from Adam’s flesh and bone), as Christ also is the source of the church (how?) He Himself being the Sav...

@elizabethprata @Lily_Warrior @pastorpilgrim @aimeebyrdPYW @JJumping @ajjumping The reference to creation was to show that Adam and Eve were prototypes of this couple in Ephesus. The woman is deceived and ignorant and teaching false doctrine, but th...

@elizabethprata @pastorpilgrim @Lily_Warrior @aimeebyrdPYW @JJumping @ajjumping The creation order has to do with deception, not authority. Adam saw God in the act of creation of plants and animals…and likely Eve, but Eve herself was the last thing ...

@elizabethprata @the_punk_god Wow, where did you get that? Surely not from 1 Ti

@BogdanOancea77 BTW, one wonders how you can ever be convinced the way you are arguing on this. I suppose you could say the same to me. Look, if you want to remain a complementarian, by all means⎯please do so. You need to follow your convictions. ...

@bishopofhippos @montananmark @JohnPiper Often Bible studies don't involve all aspects of a service, but they are far more participatory than the one-way sermon setting of most churches. Mine provides time for the congregation to share in response t...

@aflawedmanofGod @tatmia1 @M_Jensen23 @ortrails @goteamcarr No one failed me. I'm looking to Jesus who did not use any advantages he had to his own advantage, but instead to serve others, even the lowliest...even Judas whom Jesus stated was a devil....

@aflawedmanofGod @M_Jensen23 @ortrails @goteamcarr Genesis 2 is pretty clear that the man was made before the woman with a sufficient span of time to observe God in the act of creating both in relation to the plants and garden as well as likely the f...

@M_Jensen23 @aflawedmanofGod @ortrails @goteamcarr There is a certain patriarchal structure that seems to be inherent in the Old Testament and the law that is different from the man ruling over the woman. I believe the patriarchy we see was a result...

@IdorenyinEtuk5 @Drprincessjanet @Solomon_Buchi Yes, one should not pay attention to myths. In 1 Tim 1:3-4, Paul instructs Timothy to tell the Ephesian believers not to occupy themselves with myths and endless genealogies which promote controversies...

@PastorSJCamp Thanks for sharing those reflections! Without seeing the film, I was thinking maybe they meant that there was no new revelation, as in adding to scripture. But it seems that they don't understand valid prophecy and tongues, which is p...

@BogdanOancea77 My focus at this time is on showing that there are not limitations in roles prescribed in scripture. This is because of the allegation that egalitarians are not being faithful to scripture or are even in high handed sin. If I was pr...

@BogdanOancea77 Does proverbs 31 prescribe that women’s roles should be restricted to managing their homes? Not at all. Here are some reasons why I don’t believe this passage is prescriptive. Proverbs 31 doesn't necessarily prescribe these roles a...

@haymes_joshua I always appreciate when I hear a pastor admitting they had something wrong. It takes a lot of guts to admit when you confidently asserted something that you later recognized was unbiblical. However—these passages on women are hard p...

@aflawedmanofGod @tatmia1 @M_Jensen23 @ortrails @goteamcarr I'm gunning for the top, so I'm aiming for the bottom 😏 "But Jesus called them to Himself and said, “'You know that the rulers of the Gentiles domineer over them, and those in high position...
