@JamesDa10599361 @BradyJBush @Stephen_Angliss In this passage, it is a noun preceded by the definite article, or "the childbearing." So its not a verb, but since Paul was referring to Eve earlier, I

@Jamrocker4ever @MAClark85 Well, in the first appearance in Acts, it wasn't to reach unreached cultures or to reveal new revelations meant to be written down in the Bible, but to speak to God⎯and as a sign. It is also used by Paul privately, so that...

@IiiPaulus @TheMcGloneCode @smashbaals It’s the only thing that makes sense in the context. It agrees with what is said in 1 Cor 11:11-12. Head can also mean prominent or first, like the one who steps out first. Being first however doesn’t make yo...

@sisi_siki_ Many feel that 1 Tim 3 and Titus 1 teach that elders or overseers must be men because it says “husband of one wife.” However, this is an idiom for faithful if married. It is clear Paul didn’t require marriage just as he didn’t require h...

@MAClark85 I don’t think you understand the point of tongues and prophecy. I don’t think people were madly recording everything everyone said in the Corinthian church to put in into a collection of prophecies in the Bible. Prophecy is also explaini...

@BraunHB0 @BrotherRasheed The first verse is Paul explaining the reasons for the tradition to NOT wear head coverings (except that the woman has other considerations). He says that Christ is the source (not authority over) every man—males don’t have...

@BradWilcoxIFS @pauldirks @pearlythingz I think she is simply focusing on a systemic problem where women have an avenue to abuse their husbands and saying “caveat emptor”, buyer beware. However, discouraging marriage is a far bigger concern. Rather...

@DDinho555 @Fahim_4real @Sa_Gwang Women preaching true doctrine or pastoring (making disciples according to Matt 28:18-20) is heresy?? I realize you believe it is wrong but heresy is usually reserved for things that make someone outside of the faith...

@RoxyWright0 @Holistic_Voyeur @Bellisima_2004 The fact that your grandmother was not allowed to speak at all pains me and reminds me that the misinterpretation and misapplication of these tough passages is very real and needs to be addressed widely a...

@DDinho555 @Sa_Gwang That’s ridiculous! We have Jesus directly commanding all believers to baptize with the backing of all authority in heaven and earth! You are way off side! Matthew 28:18–20 (NASB 2020): “And Jesus came up and spoke to them, say...

@DickSaban1 @smashbaals You don’t need to agree with me on the egalitarian view

@ryancduff @cbankston7 @ManuelMencia11 @CherylSchatz I told my Calvinist pastor friend that we preach the same gospel, neither of us knows who is going to be saved or persevere, just that the Calvinist thinks that God determines this behind the scene...

@Based_Byzantine @HabitualLinest @Booksbyjess__ @smashbaals BTW, if you have access to search the Greek text, just look these works up yourself and you will see how episkopos and presbyteros are used interchangeably and poimen is assumed (as no one i...

@Based_Byzantine @HabitualLinest @Booksbyjess__ @smashbaals I agree Paul is saying that a woman, a specific deceived woman, is not to “authentein” over a man, her husband. Paul uses Adam and Eve as prototypes of this couple in Ephesus. The husband ...

@Based_Byzantine @HabitualLinest @Booksbyjess__ @smashbaals So you want me to scour everything that was stated in the patristics to find things that they taught that are not found in scripture? I certainly could, though I have other things to do and...

@HabitualLinest @Based_Byzantine @Booksbyjess__ @smashbaals It says that all scripture is sufficient for every good work. There is nothing else required. It’s like all the things a soldier needs to do his job completely and fully, not just the gun....

@HabitualLinest @Based_Byzantine @Booksbyjess__ @smashbaals Believe what you want. I'm just quoting the passage. "All *scripture*...so that the servant of God may be *thoroughly equipped* for **every** good work." (NIV) Thoroughly equipped means f...

@HabitualLinest @Based_Byzantine @Booksbyjess__ @smashbaals The teachings passed on by word of mouth or letter are the same teachings. Not everyone had access to a copy of the letter. What evidence do you have that these refer to teachings that are...

@HabitualLinest @Based_Byzantine @Booksbyjess__ @smashbaals 1 Cor 11:2 - “Now I praise you because you remember me in everything and hold firmly to the traditions, just as I handed them down to you.” Where does it say that they were handed down oral...

@OkieLibSherry @nakedpastor In this particular instance scripture says 7 men were chosen and gives their names. However, we have little details on specific people who are called deacons or elders in the New Testament. Only two (Peter and John) self...

@AEQEA @blackmamba_btc @nakedpastor I laughed at that one! Another keeper I’m going to save! Yeah, I have long tweets…sorry, it takes time to explain these things because people are so steeped in traditions. Jesus talks about the teachings of man ...

@blackmamba_btc @AEQEA @nakedpastor The reason the husband is said to be the kehpale of the wife is because of Adam and Eve ⎯ Eve was created from Adam as her source. Adam was created first. But authority doesn’t come from being created first or el...

@blackmamba_btc @AEQEA @BrotherBoaz @nakedpastor The reason here is because there is a woman who is deceived who is teaching false doctrine and committing spiritual murder over her husband who is not deceived by is silent. Paul uses Adam an Eve as p...

@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...

@HDialector @pauldirks @Eric_Conn Do I know everything they are doing at uni? No. They would 100% tell me…? Yes. They wouldn’t hide it from me? No. Because I’m understanding? Well, I am forgiving. Because I’d have no problem with it? No, I’d ...

@herschelmiller7 @DBrimzim @smashbaals The only rainbow I recognize is the one God gave to Noah. How is treating women as fully human and not a subspecies of males flying the pride flag? I believe in the full inspiration of scripture and back up my...

@ronhenzel The Bible doesn’t teach that we are unable to respond to the gospel, just that we cannot save ourselves. Calling for help is not saving yourself! Notice how Calvinists have to resort to reformed systematics to support their theology? I ...

@Mockinglogos @DBrimzim @smashbaals It’s an idiom for monogomy. The same thing is said about deacons where we have women mentioned and Phoebe is a deaconness. If it means must be married, then Paul is disqualified given he is single and he wishes e...

@Based_Byzantine @Booksbyjess__ @smashbaals I’m not advocating for tradition but for the Apostolic instructions in scripture. 2 Tim 3:16–17 (NIV): “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righte...

@Fair_and_Biased @Strangeland_Elf The answer is in 1 Cor 6:3⎯ "Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more matters of this life?" Paul praised the Corinthians for holding firmly to the traditions just as he handed them down to them (1 C...

@AmericanAccolon @BonifaceOption History of the mainline churches is not what determines proper interpretation on these matters. However, the Waldensians (late 12th century) believed in Salvation by Faith alone (pre Luther) and believed in the pries...

@eXLMPrince100 @PstrAThomas @RSBNetwork @DonnieDarkened That’s not even in a church… So women are not allowed to pray anywhere? How about another take? Paul is actually quoting from the Corinthian’s own letter and refuting those who are silencing w...

@PerinDana @pauldirks I think that if women were to call their husband’s “lord”

@pauldirks @PerinDana If all you want is an acknowledgement that there are differences between the genders, hasn’t that been stated already? If that’s all you wanted to achieve here, then I guess we’re done. I spent the time to exegete 1 Pet 3 in...

Peter seems to be reinforcing Patriarchal aspects seen in the Old Testament into his New Testament guidance. However, this is not what’s going on in 1 Peter 3. In the following, I respond to this issue showing from the context of Peter’s letter wha...

@The_Lilion @HeidiSchlumpf Well, that’s another thing I guess…all believers are saints. I don’t believe we were discussing whether women could participate openly in church alongside of men. And no one is saying that women participate “as men”—it se...

@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...

@MarksSara72430 @pauldirks @KaeleyT Yes, that’s exactly right. The danger is what lurks in the heart. A woman is not dangerous just because of her beauty. Further, attraction is also in the eye of the one observing, so not everyone responds equall...
