@StothersRyan @M_Jensen23 Ultimately context is king and so we have to consider

@PubliusJosephus @MWWatHome Well, I’ve most certainly considered the context and it seems Paul explicitly tells us that it was for Timothy to stop “certain ones from teaching strange doctrines” (1Ti 1:3) not to stop half the body from teaching the ot...

@IemSparticus @harmonizedgrace If we consider master/slave dynamics, slaves obey their masters as long as they are being watched and often with minimal effort. If wives see themselves as house slaves, they may not be serving their husbands out of gen...

@IemSparticus @harmonizedgrace Egalitarians argue against male headship b/c ‘headship’ = ruler/authority today, but Paul doesn’t use it that way for church or M/F rels. I cited 1Co 7:4 as the only positive mention of authority in M/F rels, besides 1...

@tattered_bible Many women avoid submission, seeing it as negative, and likely because patriarchal men see it as one sided. But understanding marriage as mutual submission all of the sudden doesn't seem so dangerous or wrong. I think most of these w...

@RealDavidReece 1Ti 3:4 speaks of "one who rules their own household well"⎯there are no male pronouns. The term proistamenon (προϊστάμενον) in 1Ti 3:4 comes from the Greek verb proistēmi (προΐστημι), which means “to manage,” “to lead,” “to preside o...
