Similarly, the seven churches in Revelation (Rev 2-3) show unique struggles—lukewarmness, immorality, and even false teaching. Yet, these issues didn’t divide believers into factions. Jesus addresse

@immrbloo @BeardedPresby If I thought what I believed was unbiblical, I’d change my mind in a heartbeat. I am thoroughly convinced what I believe is Biblical which is why I also teach it. I appreciate your concern, but let’s be clear that how God sa...

@Chad4328 Where does scripture say that God chose specific individuals from the foundation of the world to have the faith to be saved? Also, John 15 is clear that we must abide in Him. What does this mean that He cuts off everyone who doesn’t abide ...

@Antifaucist722 @Tailfeathers_WA @dalepartridge About battles... Barak followed Deborah into battle and a woman killed Sisera. And he was commended for his faith because Deborah was the voice of God to him. At any rate, this isn't about the military...

Is the rejection of "Male Headship" what opens the church to every cultural lie?

@equipping_faith @Eric_Conn I don't understand where you are getting some submitting to others. ἀλλήλοις is a dative reciprocal pronoun meaning "one another" or "each other." This is clearly a mutual or reciprocal action. It cannot mean a one-sided ...

@pauldirks Faith is an admission of inability and trusting someone who is able instead of oneself. You don't need to be regenerate to call out for help. The scripture states clearly that salvation is by faith. Salvation is not by election but throug...

@pauldirks If the atonement is unlimited in value and applies to all (as Shedd says), but the application is limited to the elect, then this amounts to God deciding to die for someone but not give them the benefit due to God's 'passing over them.' Ra...

@MikeWingerii @SKokenos You say that the man is continually being unfaithful to his wives by his polygamous marriage. Your answer? Any/all of the wives have a right to divorce, but the husband doesn't. But if what you are saying is true, then the h...

@garlicmofongo @MikeWingerii @FlipperTGibbit Nice to see that Mike responded to this already. Thanks for the link. So to summarize, Mike’s first response is similar to my current view, but his appended response is that the husband is being unfaithfu...

@Methodios007 Listen, I recognize that if you recognize that the EO hierarchy and bishops and priests are not required, this is a fundamental shift for you and will be hard to accept and admit. That's ok. So long as you and I agree on the fundamental...

@peace_got @Protestia 1. How do you know my personal desires? I alone know them and they are to be faithful to the intent of the text. 2. I spend most of my time explaining Paul’s letters to Timothy and Titus. What are you talking about? 3. It is d...

@SKokenos @spencer_newell @MikeWingerii Sam, that’s how the English reads, but the Greek has no male pronouns, uses the generic τὶς (someone/anyone), and doesn’t explicitly exclude women. The idiom you underlined in 1Ti 3:2 means monogamous and faith...

@kowloonsunday This passage is part of a larger segment (1Pe 2:13-25) that discusses submission to authorities, both civil and within the household structure, so as to live in such a way that even if accused or persecuted, one’s conduct would be a te...

@StevenMKestner @carol66944 @JoelWBerry Paul is advocating for singleness as he himself is in 1Co 7:7-8,32-34,38 and suggesting it is better. Yet translations all have 1Ti 3:2 as saying husband or “faithful to his wife.” The text is clear—it is refe...

@BaldwinOfJ @samuel_costner @WokePreacherTV Thankfully you don't have the authority to proclaim anyone is outside of the faith unless what you claim agrees with what the scripture says about this. Does the scripture say that anyone who believes godl...

@PastorMark "But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever." (1Ti 5:8). The Greek word used here is "τις" (tis), which is a gender-neutral term ...

@JollyStine How is Paul contrasting quiet, peaceful lives with asceticism? I was envisioning protesting or perhaps running from persecution due to rulers coming against Christians. In other words, pray for kings and those in authority so you can go a...

@KaeleyT "But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever." (1Ti 5:8) Is Paul referring to widows or their children or both? The following verses describ...

@ryancduff You may be thinking about this from the perspective of forbidding what God doesn’t forbid and therefore dividing the body of Christ. Paul refers to this as “doctrines of demons.” “Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some wil...

@Twinjeremiah @BenZeisloft The Greek is μιᾶς γυναικὸς ἄνδρα or literally "one wife husband." This phrase is stated twice, once in v2 for elders and once in v12 for deacons. The NIV translates as "faithful to his wife" but I'm asserting that this is a...
