@JonByers186054 “Only a man can divorce” is not Jesus’ point. In Mk 10:12, Jesus

@JonByers186054 “Only a man can divorce” is not Jesus’ point. In Mk 10:12, Jesus says: “and if she herself divorces her husband and marries another, she is committing adultery.” That completely oblit

@LovesSardine The Greek is "one woman man" or "one wife husband" but being married cannot be a requirement or Paul himself would be disqualified and his encouraging everyone to be single like him (1Cor 7) would mean there would be no leaders if every...

@Meritocrating @_Nosoup4you__ @FavaAnthony @_NoSoup4You_ The prophecy portion was that Eve would desire her husband. There are things God said would change. Increasing her rate of conception is not a judgment. That she would toil because of how many ...

@Meritocrating @_Nosoup4you__ @FavaAnthony @_NoSoup4You_ God didn't say that He cursed Eve in Gen 3:16. Her conception rate would increase (a good thing to populate the planet), and her toil would increase (same word used for Adam) and her desire wou...

@JonByers186054 1Ti 3:2 says "one woman man" or "one wife husband"⎯the male form is clear. I never said Paul wasn't using the male form of this idiom. But it doesn't mean male only is what I'm saying. Just like it doesn't mean married. Unless Paul is...

@StandAndKnox Paul simply connected this wife who was deceived and her husband (

@Meritocrating @_Nosoup4you__ @FavaAnthony @_NoSoup4You_ First, Eve's rate of conception would increase so that the world would be populated since they would die. Second, Eve wouldn't divorce her husband but would desire him (it doesn't say desire to...

@JamesGi27467089 @carol66944 @MikeWingerii 'a woman' and 'a man' can also be 'a wife' and 'a husband'⎯and because of 'the woman' in 1Ti 2:14 which cannot refer to Eve because of 'she will be saved' in v15 which cannot apply to Eve who is dead⎯this is...

@BytePhantom42 @haymes_joshua Paul is not requiring one to be a husband or else he is himself disqualified! And the fact that he advocates for people to be single in 1Co 7 would have to have had a clear note that this makes one disqualified for leade...

I'm just curious... what commands does the husband tell the wife that she has to

The fact is that gyne means either woman or wife and we have to determine which

Since I see Paul addressing a specific situation of a deceived wife teaching heresy and her knowledgeable husband keeping silent, and since Paul links the situation with what happened in Eden connecting creation order with deception, this context str...

The grammar and context suggest that Paul is not banning all women from teaching

@texashodler2021 @Eric_Conn Who does her husband work for? Another man?

@LordFerguson09 @outcatching @danitreweek If “must be the husband of one wife” and “keeping his children (plural) under control” is what is literally required then every elder has to be married only once and must have 2 or more believing children. Th...

@Dankrightanon @LordFerguson09 No, a woman cannot be a husband. The idiom is in the male form as a generic characteristic that can apply to anyone regardless of gender. Else it requires one to be married and have 2 or more children and Paul was neith...

@LordFerguson09 @Dankrightanon Thanks for being honest. I agree that the husband is head *of* his wife. Your use of over presumes it means boss or authority. Eve was made from Adam's flesh and bone⎯thus he is the source of his wife. And marriage sy...

@HeGTiSunesis Part of the difficulty with Paul’s comments is that he doesn’t explicitly state woman as also the glory of God and with Christ also as her head—one is left to deduce this as Paul seems to be noting something that a wife uniquely has as ...

@ronhenzel @WonderingBashir @HwsEleutheroi Ron, I think this is just confusing. The best way to make everything fit together is to understand a specific woman teaching heresy and Paul linking the situation between this woman and her husband to the f...

@graceforprize @ComeBack_Yeshua @Rattle_Resists @michael_ronning Paul’s teaching in 1Ti 2:11-15 are specific to a wife teaching false doctrine and a husband who is informed but silent—likely an elder who refuses to stop the false teaching b/c it’s hi...

@JacksonTarwater @EstablishingMan @Eric_Conn How are you a husband but not marri

@EstablishingMan @Eric_Conn The first qualification is being a man? 1Ti 3:1 uses τὶς (anyone, someone) which is not clearly male only. 1Ti 3:2 does say “one wife husband” but seems to be clearly used as an idiom as even Paul himself wasn’t married. N...

@blazefranco_ @smashbaals No, that's not what 1Ti 2:11-12 says. "A" woman is not all women, and Paul's clear and stated purpose is to stop false teaching not true teaching from anyone. There's a specific couple⎯a wife teaching heresy and her husband ...

@EManFleming While it is true that man is the glory of God, the woman is also the glory of God since she is the same flesh as man. But the woman (ie. Eve) is also the glory of man (ie. Adam). Marriage always maps back to the first marriage, so we say...

@EManFleming Yes, I’m serious. Gen 1-2 is God’s design. Gen 3 is the fall and its consequences. Gen 3:16-19 has no imperatives, and the man and woman are not cursed. God prophesies that the husband will rule over his wife. If this was ideal, wouldn’t...

@StothersRyan @Peacemaker811 No one should be the ruler or authority over their spouse period. And the husband is the head of the wife because marriage goes back to Eden where Adam’s flesh and bone is the source of his wife. Our marriage simply maps ...

@RonaldTill13475 @KaeleyT @WayneShaff60221 What does equal treatment of women have to do with not having a husband? No one here is saying wives shouldn’t submit to and serve their husbands. Just that husbands should do the same Are men so proud in y...

@RonaldTill13475 @KaeleyT @WayneShaff60221 What are you taking about? Saying that a husband is not the authority over his wife and that women can lead along with men in the church destroys their lives?? Our family believes this and we are married and...

@seditiouslibel2 @rightresponsem So God’s will involves violating His created order? Wouldn’t God be aware of His own created order and follow it? Who says a woman is the head of her husband? I’m certainly not. But I don’t believe head means authori...

@StothersRyan @M_Jensen23 Where do they say “authority of husbands over wives”?

@Grump_Old_Man @Peacemaker811 Because Paul’s description of how there’s a wife teaching false doctrine and a knowledgeable husband who is sitting silent and not doing anything is a situation that parallels what happened in Eden. That was sufficient f...

@TheRednartso @HolyHomebody Head is not being used in the sense of “the righteous boss over someone.” You are importing your modern notions of this term and how we use it into the text. Jesus is God but there is no notion of the husband being the “r...

@TheRednartso @HolyHomebody You assume ‘head’ means authority or boss, but in Scripture, it often means ‘source.’ Christ is the source of His body’s life. The husband is head of his wife as marriage reflects Adam and Eve in Eden and Adam’s flesh an...
