@WagnerJere47288 @humanvideogamer @RenOfMen The mystery is that Christ and His church are one body and receive the same inheritance (which is crazy if you really think about it). If Paul meant ruler,

@ravensfoodblog @MikeWingerii In the example you give, you seem to be saying that if a group of leaders all agree on something (whether right or wrong), you have to listen and only if you can find a bishop or governing body over the leaders can you a...

@RenOfMen The scriptures teach mutual submission for all in the body of Christ (Eph 5:21, Php 2:3-4). While egalitarian can sound like each is supposed to assert their rights, I think 'mutualist' is a better term and conveys the idea that each is sub...

@ravensfoodblog @MikeWingerii An elder has a special function and gifting in the body, but all in the body have the same authority to make disciples and to teach them to obey everything Jesus commanded to his disciples. Function—such as oversight—is ...

@chris_z_123 @ryancduff "It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, ***to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up*** until we...

@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...

@Tibbetburritoo @harduppp @TxPlainZoomer @LaMonteMom @IAmNOTALao @WomnOfValor Paul is quoting from the letter the Corinthians wrote to him (see 1Co 7:1). He refutes these men who are trying to silence half the body to bring order; Paul’s solution is ...

@JollyStine @AVER735 @BenZeisloft 1Co 7 definitely speaks of mutual authority over each other’s body and not abstaining for too long. But I honestly don’t see knowing what the specific false teaching in Ephesus was important or Paul would have mentio...

@Grump_Old_Man @DBryanRhodes @ronhenzel @Gates_of_Derry @CalebDixonSmith I love the scripture and what it means. I don’t like when people misrepresent it. “…and he is the saviour of the body” This statement is what qualifies what kephale (translate...

@DBryanRhodes @ronhenzel @Gates_of_Derry @CalebDixonSmith Paul is using that term in a specific way to refer to His being the source or origin of the church which is His body. This isn’t about authority or hierarchy so the English word isn’t the best...

@BrandonGra53760 @kodysamnanveth @rofbethany Where does Christ exercise authority over His bride the church? He has all authority FOR the church, that is for our benefit. "And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over ev...

@FDMurphy1635 @avyargo Ok. Why can’t women teach or have authority over men in t

@CalebDixonSmith @opreterista That sounds eerily close to “what is a woman?” You mean “what kind of body?” The passage you are referring to is actually from Paul, not Jesus. It is found in 1 Corinthians 15:35-44: "But someone will ask, 'How are th...

@Grump_Old_Man @Robert_S_Morley @ronhenzel @smashbaals Oh boy, Grumpy. Are you suggesting that as Jesus is the Lord and master that the husband is the lord and master over his wife? Because that's not Paul's argument here. Paul's argument is to agai...

@MythosMayhem @CherylSchatz @_KyleBerry Allegory is certainly used in scripture and many things that were done became like symbolic prophecy such as the exodus from Egypt having to be repeated by the Messiah. But Jesus didn’t lose His flesh. Where d...

@j_robert_kirk @MolderAnna26649 @Reformed_Zoomer @Brian_Sauve That’s the “great mystery” that Paul speaks of in Eph 5:32. One flesh means equal. We don’t deserve this at all. But look at how we are treated. We are co-heirs with Christ and share His...

@ChristMount777 @JoWiKi Unity of the body is also very important. More important than you getting your way in everything or your own personal comfort. Your church may have only male leaders but cooperating with others that have female leaders means t...

The main issue I have with membership is that it is different from membership in the body of Christ. When you treat the church as having two classes of people by adding secondary requirements in addition to Jesus’ requirements, churches are being nee...

@KillmanBuck @JoInAthensGa @Eric_Conn I don’t think you read the passage. "The woman who is unmarried…is concerned about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but one who is married is concerned **about the things of ...

Keep reading, @BenZeisloft 👉 "The woman who is unmarried, and the virgin, is concerned about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but one who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how she may please h...

@Robert_S_Morley @ronhenzel @5cd5945b24ec495 @GarOHoff @StanfieldBrent1 @Idolkiller Rather Jesus chose not to submit Himself to the Father’s will and initiative. He copied the acts of the Father. It wasn’t that the Father did the acts through Jesus’ ...

@MackDonahue @MikeWingerii Mack, when he says that the egalitarian view is a secondary issues, but then treats it like it is a sin to propagate it, this does harm to the body of Christ. If he is so concerned about harm done to the body, then why doe...

@PastorRobMonroe @KaeleyT @megbasham Jesus’ body was from God. The Father is not the source of the eternal uncreated Son but of His body. Eve’s body was created from Adam’s flesh and bone. Your comment that the doctrine was never questioned until…I...

@Unashamed_Chuck That’s right—not *all* are teachers. But we are told to earnestly desire the greater gifts. "Now you are Christ’s body, and individually parts of it. And God has appointed in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teache...

@ymmotrojam @ronhenzel @CherylSchatz @JollyStine @pastherandie @peace_got @MikeWingerii Where does scripture say that elders are to rule? Oversight, guidance, serving the body by teaching and preaching, gently correcting and guiding are not ruling. R...

@ronhenzel @pastherandie @ymmotrojam @kriesese @smashbaals There is an authority to serve the body by teaching, but it is not a hierarchy of authority over the body, but an authority of service. The elders are at the bottom⎯serving and pouring out th...

Here’s a complementarian stating that my explanation for 1Co 14:34-35 is the *perfect solution* for a Biblically faithful egalitarian. ❤️ (Except I’m not looking to suck out Paul’s authority; on the contrary, Paul uses his authority to stop those si...

@pastherandie @ymmotrojam @ronhenzel @kriesese @smashbaals Not referring to Tom or Ron, but there sure have been a lot of people coming out of the woodwork and breathing fire on egalitarians. I had a guy tell me he would not block me over his dead b...

@SupermomShayla My initial reaction to what you said was because the women are not intimate with each other. However, it does seem that each wife is one flesh with the husband. "Or do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute becomes one bo...

@Joshbambino If the wife is a member of one and the same body as the husband, th

@carol66944 Interesting. I still think that Paul’s reference to “the childbearing” as a definite noun is a pointer back to the seed of the woman since Eve was mentioned in the context. But look at this passage: “Now you are the body of Christ, and ...

@RBM7211 @MikeWingerii @TerranWilliams4 Just read the article. There's no authority to appeal to. But Mike won't listen to a nobody like me. He seems to only want to consider those who are published. Well, here's two published authors who carefully a...

@pastherandie @bezalelplace @peace_got @MikeWingerii Here’s where Mike’s actions are particularly problematic. He is advocating for treating his egalitarian brothers and sisters as rebels against God. Is that not going to needlessly divide Jesus’ bod...

@Torncurtainorg @AWoytuik @MikeWingerii Eph 5:21 covers that. It’s mutual…check the Greek. 1 Cor 7:4 shows the husband doesn’t have authority over his own body, the only instance of gender authority and it’s …equal: "The wife does not have authority...

@Revelation_14_7 @TomWarlord @baste_goblin @EchoToaster_ @Eric_Conn Indentured servitude is not wrong. We are all willing slaves of Christ and all are to serve one another in the body. But there should not be roles or relationships in the church whe...
