Mike Winger idea 2022-03-07

Mike's personal journey: he wanted to become egalitarian, prioritized egalitarian scholarship, read Philip Payne and Linda Belleville, but did not change his mind.

Mike's personal stance and research journey

soft complementarianism Philip Payne Linda Belleville
Mike Winger idea 2022-03-14

Linda Belleville's argument: Genesis 2 speaks of order and source, not authority -- Mike's rebuttal: these aren't mutually exclusive; primogeniture is precisely about order implying authority.

Egalitarian counter-argument from Belleville

Margaret MacDonald's claim: Nympha was a key leader across the Lycus Valley churches

Mike traces Belleville's footnote source.

Wayne Meeks (The First Urban Christians) -- Belleville's own source refutes her position

Mike traces Belleville's scholarly source for the host-as-leader claim.

Keener's sources examined: 1 Maccabees 12:23 does not support letter-carrier-as-teacher

Mike examines Keener's footnoted sources one by one.

Mike critiques Belleville's overstatement about Phoebe.

Linda Belleville Two Views on Women in Ministry Phoebe
Mike Winger idea 2022-04-13

Belleville's footnote 61 sources examined: 1 Corinthians 16:15-18 -- no women deacons found

Mike Winger idea 2022-04-13

Philip Payne's claim: Phoebe was Paul's personal leader based on 'prostatis' in Romans 16:2

Mike examines an extraordinary claim about Phoebe's role.

Romans 16:2 Philip Payne Phoebe prostatis
Mike Winger idea 2022-04-13

LSJ vs. BDAG on prostatis: wrong lexicon used; BDAG says 'patron/benefactor,' not 'leader'

Mike identifies a significant lexical error in Payne's argument.

Mike Winger idea 2022-05-30

Mike Winger idea 2022-05-30

Acts 22:3 — Paul 'at the feet of Gamaliel' does not prove everyone who sat at a teacher's feet became a rabbi

Mike questions whether the phrase necessarily means rabbinical training for every person who used it.

Acts 22:3 Acts 22:3 sat at the feet Gamaliel
Mike Winger idea 2022-05-30
