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

Is the rejection of "Male Headship" what opens the church to every cultural lie? It depends. If a church rejects a doctrine it sees as scripturally clear, it’s serious. But rejecting a doctrine to b

@joosedotson @kristenmcknight 1Co 6:2-3 says that saints will one day judge the world and angels. This supports the idea that all humans should work on their ability to discern and judge matters. In fact, in 1Co 11:10 Paul says that women should have...

@alhakim120000 @squidgy201 @OldPhilos @UniqueBeing2024 @smashbaals No, that’s you reading into the text. Headship is origin or priority not authority. God gave Adam more experience as he saw God creating things and so God prepared him to not be decei...

@alhakim120000 @squidgy201 @OldPhilos @UniqueBeing2024 @smashbaals Being the head can mean being first or given priority. It doesn’t therefore mean authority over like a master/slave. “To the Jew first then the Gentile” means the Jew is the head. Tha...

@alhakim120000 @squidgy201 @OldPhilos @UniqueBeing2024 @smashbaals That the husband is the “head” of the wife has nothing to do with authority but the fact that rush always goes back to the first instance where the husband’s flesh and bone was the so...

@LM4819962872993 @Rattle_Resists @michael_ronning Also, head (kephale in Greek) doesn’t mean “authority over”—that meaning is being inferred as we use the word head in that way. But it could simply mean prominent, first, source or origin. Regarding m...

@LM4819962872993 @Rattle_Resists @michael_ronning Well, yes, I think the English translation here is misleading. The English isn’t inspired and translators can have bias. No man is the head of the church except Christ—and this is because by His deat...

@Tailfeathers_WA @RebekahRutt Head is a part of the body. You are interpreting it as authority because it contains the brain. But the head includes eyes, nose, mouth, ears, etc. A man is not the brain of his wife…because she has her own brain. If it...

@JohnWil71685113 @howertonjosh I’m always curious why people understand that men are not to cover their heads but women are. I cover 1Co 11:3 in the attached post. The problem is that we read head and understand it to mean authority over. If Paul me...

@howertonjosh Josh continues… “Ladies, you have a higher calling than neck. Prov 12:4, a wife of Nobel character is not his neck but his crown. …You will either be the crown on his head or you will be the cancer in his bones.” [32:33] He is not wron...

@howertonjosh [31:14] “There’s a line in the movie [My Big Fat Greek Wedding] where one of the ladies says ‘the husband is the head, but the wife is the neck. She can turn him any way she wants.’ Now, kinda funny, but also kind of demonic, little dem...

@JamMom89 @firegirl2510 @Chad4328 The Bible says what? Jesus is the kephale of every man, meaning every human. As for 1Co 14:34, Paul is quoting the Judiazers who wrote in the letter *from* the Corinthians which he responds with: "What? came the wo...

@JamMom89 @firegirl2510 @Chad4328 Kephale doesn’t mean authority or ruler over. God made Eve from Adam’s flesh and bone: he was her source. Every husband and wife after this are patterned after the first one-flesh couple. The woman isn’t inherently ...
