@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 What, you can’t read Gen 3:16 either? Why don’t you answer my questions then? Why didn’t God tell Adam he should rule the woman? Why were his words to Eve future not present? I don’t advocate for women forcin...

@BogdanOancea77 Again, I don't believe Paul is constrained ONLY to answer questions. He is correcting their misunderstandings and statements. I don't see "your women" in v34, but "the women" (nominative, not genitive as I think would be used for "y...

@ekkiet @ChrisHohnholz Ugh...I just spent 20 minutes answering this and the response disappeared! Ok, one more time...going to copy it elsewhere just in case! Ok, you are missing some things here which prove that "the woman" in v14 cannot refer to ...

@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...

@The_Idol_Killer All false teaching has some impact and every church has some. No one is perfect. It’s important to also not isolate yourself thinking you’ve got everything perfect too. The key is to be open to hearing rebuttals and not be divisiv...

@ChrisHohnholz Except 1 Tim 2:11 says "a woman" not "women" and verse 15 says "she (singular) will be saved through the (definite) childbearing (noun) if they (the wife and husband that Paul was referring to)". One would expect verse 14 to say "but ...

@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...

@rightresponsem @ChrisHohnholz Paul links the order of first creation with deception. Males can clearly be deceived too, so this isn't a comment about gender differences but relates to the specific creation order of Adam and Eve. Because Adam was c...

@Hansronsdorf @BogdanOancea77 The problem with this view is that vv34-35 are in every manuscript. They also fit well before verse 36 which uses the disjunctive “what?” And asks rhetorical questions to show that those who wrote the things in vv34-35 ...

@ronhenzel @YouHaveFought Does Deut 30:6 not apply to the people in the time of Moses who were commanded to love and obey God or else He would judge them? I believe it does. This is how we see those like Caleb of which scripture says "But as for My...

@Kdubtru You are just showing there’s a spectrum of male priority in leadership. If patriarchy seems too extreme you can be complementarian. If you don’t believe women speaking in church is shameful you can still believe that she is meant to not ju...

@YouHaveFought @ronhenzel Wow…he won’t baptize you until you believe in Calvinism? That doesn’t sound very healthy. I also spoke to pastors of two churches who wouldn’t allow me to be a leader because I’m not a Calvinist, but they certainly would a...
