@StevenG57428175 But then don't you have to interpret the Catechism? So then your priest is the only one who can interpret that. So basically, the Bible is not written for the believer who Jesus said

@Meritocrating @_Nosoup4you__ @FavaAnthony @_NoSoup4You_ That's not his teaching. The only place you find this is in 1Ti 2:12 and it is in a personal letter address to Timothy with the purpose of stopping strange doctrines (1Ti 1:3). Paul's purpose f...

@Forms_Respecter You cannot attach ordaining someone who is ostensibly living in sinful life with a woman who's only sin is that she is teaching truth as an elder. Yes, someone who says Paul meant its only men and then ignores it is in dangerous sit...

@JonByers186054 Just because priests were all men in the old covenant doesn't mean that women were forbidden to teach God's ordinances to God's people. Where are you getting that from? Why would God forbid anyone from teaching someone the truth? They...

@JonByers186054 Wait, hang on, where is it in God's law that a woman cannot be an elder or leader? How is it that God chose Deborah to be the judge of all Israel and its prophet? Leading others to teach truth and lead others into the truth⎯regardles...

@Tako1Fall Wait, how is obeying Mt 28:18-20 good but then if you teach truth and

@_Nosoup4you__ @FavaAnthony Excellent point. If God is no repertory of persons then why is whether they are female a problem? If women will judge angels too one day (1Co 6:2-3), then why is serving an elder in this life a sin for someone especially i...

@FavaAnthony You cannot make up what sin is. In no sense is someone who is teaching the truth but doing so as an elder or pastor sinning merely because of their position or title. Titles are not sins when applied to certain persons and positions are ...

@My_Lord_Grant @smashbaals The command is for certain people to stop teaching *false* doctrines. This has nothing to do with the stopping of the truth being taught by anyone. The great commission tells every believer to teach all nations whatever Je...

@JamesGi27467089 1 Timothy is a personal letter telling Timothy how to deal with

My view differs from claim 4—I believe Paul wants this woman to stop teaching until she learns the truth. Her being silent is about her not teaching, which Winger would agree with. The difference is Winger sees it as a general rule, not a situation-s...

@TheAwokeSlayer @rightresponsem @grok A woman who teaches the truth is to be listened to simply because of the truth she speaks. This has absolutely nothing to do with whether a male or female. A book is neither male nor female—yet di you only read b...

@RenewedReformed @BronWen727104 @sola_chad Paul wrote Timothy to deal with specific people teaching strange doctrines. Paul’s instruction was never to stop someone from teaching truth to anyone. And certainly he isn’t making up a new sin of a woman t...

@ronhenzel @WonderingBashir @HwsEleutheroi Men does not equal man, but if it did, my point would stand from another angle. Because then the definite man would necessitate the definite woman (in v11-12). Paul wants strange doctrines to not be taught ...

@graceforprize @ComeBack_Yeshua @Rattle_Resists @michael_ronning The narrow way is not by refusing to teach truth to people unless they are females or children under the age of 18. Whether Laura agrees with you or me doesn’t matter as this is second...

@graceforprize @ComeBack_Yeshua @Rattle_Resists @michael_ronning This is X! Are you not an advocate of free speech? If you want to respond to Laura only that’s up to you. But if what you are saying is truth then you shouldn’t need to fear someone cor...

@UndeadOrlan @Keith83361 @smashbaals Thanks for your response. What’s so unique about a congregational setting? Does truth change when the congregation meets? Can a male override the scripture because he speaks authoritatively in the congregation? If...

@Keith83361 @UndeadOrlan @smashbaals Not twisting anything. Actually, I’m just untwisting what others have pretzeled in their heads. Paul never forbade anyone from teaching truth to anyone. Scripture is authoritative, not the 2x2 box in the middle o...
