@ronhenzel A creative way of getting around the text. Why is this not an option for married women? Should half the church (if all single women) all line up one by one to speak with an elder after? How inefficient is that? What if the question she ask...

@ronhenzel Is Paul’s reference to the Berean believers and how they tested his words spoken only to the elders? Are only the elders to examine and test? If a non elder finds an inconsistency, should they be silenced simply because they are not servin...

@ronhenzel Women in general or just married women (since they alone have husbands to ask at home)? You must make sense of what the text specifically states. Rather than holding back the spirit, Paul encourages speaking and even interrupting another ...

@ronhenzel @thecrazypastor In the following I clearly mark Paul’s usage of the contrastive ‘or’ (Greek: ἢ) in 1 Cor: 1Co 1:13 - "Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? *ἢ* were you baptized in the name of Paul?" 1Co 4:21 - "What do you wish...

@ronhenzel @thecrazypastor Here's the list of verses where Paul uses rhetorical questions and contrastive statements to address or correct ideas and behaviors within the early Christian communities showing that this is also a way of identifying forei...

@ronhenzel @thecrazypastor While it is true that Paul often introduces quotations or topics from the Corinthians with “Περὶ δὲ” (Peri de, “Now concerning…”), he also employs rhetorical questions and contrastive arguments to distinguish his views from...

@thecrazypastor @ronhenzel This is especially since Paul clearly instructed that

@thecrazypastor @ronhenzel The only view that makes sense of this text is Paul quoting from the letter from the Corinthians (see 1Co 7:1)⎯this is for the reasons you noted. There is no such law which could ever be reasonably interpreted to suggest th...

@ronhenzel Gen 1-3 doesn't teach women subjecting themselves in the congregation

@ymmotrojam The 144,000 are also Jewish male virgins: “They sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth. These are those w...

@FreeAme19691836 Hi Russell, I am using X to address specific issues, and at this time, the forbidding of women as elders and pastors is on the forefront for me. Your assumption that I care little for the salvation of others is misjudged. I ask the...

Terran Williams in his article on Gen 1-3 writes: "The meaning of the word ‘mashal’ in 3:16 is...‘rule’. ...some complementarian scholars argue that it means ‘oppress’ or ‘rule harshly’. Rather, in its 81 occurrences in the Old Testament, it means r...

@ronhenzel BTW, those bishops became very angry at the insistence that God booby trapped humanity in order that they would fall so that they would be dependent on Him to rescue them. But this is exactly the setup they created. LDS teaching requires...

@ronhenzel As I told the LDS bishops, this would be like God placing a trap, pointing it out (so they would be tempted to go near it), so that when they got trapped, He could be their saviour and get them out of it. How would you perceive a human fa...

@ronhenzel Ron, God predestining the fall—that is that He ordained that man should fall means that God desired man to fall. That God preferred man to sin. That He booby-trapped him so that he would commit sin. That is very different than foreseeing ...

@CaidenHooks @carol66944 @MikeWingerii I am not a liberal and I’m not smuggling anything. Where does the text clearly forbid women? If “one wife husband” doesn’t forbid single males then it isn’t meant to specify marriage or maleness. Paul is intent...

@ymmotrojam @th3muse Deacons are administrative assistants, but this does not mean that they cannot teach or preach as Stephen demonstrated (and Phillip doing evangelistic preaching and miracles in Samaria). There are no hard and fast rules that a d...

@ymmotrojam @CherylSchatz @th3muse Of course you have to say this if you don’t accept females as deacons. The facts are: - Paul uses the feminine διάκονον - Paul is commending her to the church she is moving to as a leader - She is to be received as...

@MikeWingerii @kjvchurches How can you say the feminine form diakonon wasn’t available when Paul uses the feminine in Rom 16:1 for Phoebe? Your comment makes absolutely no sense. I reviewed your notes on episode 4 where you state “The Greek word dia...

@David_Timothy17 @MikeWingerii Then why is he calling those who spread egalitarian teaching to repent? Why is he recommending female pastors to resign? Why is he advising his followers who go to egalitarian churches to leave loudly and take others wi...

@MikeJGreiner @ryancduff @MikeWingerii What makes you think Paul meant that God created Adam as the first ranking commanding officer over any future created human? Paul’s point was simply that Adam was created chronologically before Eve. This had an...

@CurtisKack @MikeWingerii @th3muse Interesting read of Mike’ comment. I think you may be right as he doesn’t want to respond to criticism of his position on female elders despite others like Terran Williams and Andrew Bartlett taking the time to revi...
