@IssaDegen @smashbaals It's Greek words, not Hebrew. The point is who the 'she' and 'they' are referring to in 1 Tim 2:15? If we can find the answer to that and make it make sense in the context and the rest of the grammar, we can understand what P...

@CameronGunn1863 @twigsally @smashbaals This is a strange argument for someone supposedly wanting everyone to follow the Bible. Does one's opinions matter based on where they are from or based on scr

@pastherandie @Pathfinder4545 @ChristVictorous @Brian_Sauve The question is what does the text mean by head, because Paul sees Adam as the head of Eve. Kephale has a range of meaning and the meaning intended is understood by the context. In this, t...

@pastherandie @lastadolphin @Brian_Sauve This is actually the one instance where authority over the spouse is even mentioned! (I know of no other reference) "The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does; and likewise the...

@GlennDavies @KaeleyT @PrestonSprinkle Thanks for the feedback. I don't know you except that we've had a few conversations, we live in the same area and I also know nothing of how you run your church. So you have to take my comments as responding t...

@GlennDavies @KaeleyT @PrestonSprinkle I actually don’t think that the complementarian view leads to oppression of women *necessarily.* I have been part of several complementarian churches and they typically just reserved the lead pastoral role for a...

@smashbaals Men can literally: - Engage in unprotected sex, often avoiding its consequences - Consume porn, fueling the objectification of women - Claim authority over women, yet shirk responsibility for societal outcomes And when called to the car...

@IvanIvez440026 @lastadolphin @Brian_Sauve Let's test this theory out, shall we?

@Lovecraftian12 @smashbaals Where does the great commission exclude women from obeying all the commands Christ gave His apostles? Also⎯suggesting someone has to communicate without speaking was a way to see what your problem is with women. Then lik...

@ronhenzel I did see this before, but after re-reading it, I see that these study notes do catch that salvation from deception due to the false teaching is mentioned. This is good. He does point out the reference back to Gen 3:15, the seed of the w...

@ronhenzel @HwsEleutheroi However, in this case we have two anarthrous, "a woman" and "Eve" and one arthrous "the woman"⎯we have to determine who fits. They are both close and there is no hard and fast rule how close. Paul's context and grammar wil...

@ronhenzel @HwsEleutheroi So what you are essentially admitting though is that it could be either way? How then would Paul differentiate from "a woman" and "Eve" in the context of this passage? We have other reasons to believe that Eve cannot be "t...

@ChristVictorous @Brian_Sauve I actually don't think this, but many complementarians see this as the role of the "head" of the marriage and church. For context, I am an engineer and both lead and serve an individual contributor role on projects at a...

@GlennDavies @PrestonSprinkle Hi Glenn! I’m looking forward to the day we can meet. It’s always enriching to connect with fellow pastors in our area. Your comment about the failures of various prominent pastors caught my attention. While these insta...

@KaeleyT @GlennDavies @PrestonSprinkle I think Kaeley’s point cannot be ignored. We cannot lump all moral failings onto one side. I think its important to recognize that there are some who see the fact of women leading in scripture (albeit not as m...

@lastadolphin @Brian_Sauve Interesting. I think men need to lead more, but I don't think that means they need to be in authority over their wives and break every tie in decision making. Egalitarianism is not Matriarchy; it is equality, mutuality an...

@haymes_joshua Here's a comment I shared with a pastor friend of mine that you may find helpful. I don't deny male headship, I just use the context to show that the word doesn't mean authority but source. The only place authority between the husban...

@WeakGameForever @NeilShenvi @MikeWingerii But Paul says "a woman" not "all women." And then this would also mean you are saying "All women will be saved through childbearing if all women continue in faith..." Which makes one wonder how men are sav...

@Brian_Sauve This is extremely divisive. You are blaming apostasy on women? Cultural decline due to “unchecked feminine sensibilities”? Because the husband fails to take control over his wife and make all the decisions? Doesn’t it occur to you th...

@j_bambrick @MikeWingerii But Mike didn’t represent the best egalitarian arguments. Further, he doesn’t know what the “she” and “they” of verse 15 actually refer to. At least he acknowledges that women are to learn and not fundamentally defective, ...

@WWUTTcom Did you not look at my chart carefully? Paul uses particular grammar and if he wanted to say all women or plural women, he certainly knew how to do that. We also forget that the same word for woman is the same as wife and man the same as ...

@DST_QA I don't make this a "hill to die on" as I have attended complementarian churches and am able to work within their restrictions. However, I find that most comp churches won't allow those who are convinced egalitarians into leadership, so it h...

@DST_QA I've believed this since around 2009 but didn't make it a big issue until the last 5 years. I was in a complementarian church (Calvary Chapel), then non-denom (egalitarian), then Baptist (mostly complementarian but shifting). In the Baptist...

@ronhenzel Most people have never heard of this term, so to the average person...it's complicated. You have extensive training in Greek and years of teaching it, so for you this is a yawner. But yes, this is not unique to Greek. I'm glad you agree...

@ronhenzel Next time you talk to someone and mention your wife’s name, follow it up with “the woman” and then ask your wife what she thinks of that. Is this how we normally speak? “Tamara is coming…but the woman will be late”?? Ah, but we have ano...

@ronhenzel However, this is the case of a noun being repeated twice, not a prono

In 1 Tim 2:15, who are the “she” and the “they” referring to? Options: 1. A generic woman / all women 2. Eve / all women 3. Women* / all women 4. A specific woman / her and her husband 5. Something else? *Note: some translations change the singula...

@ymmotrojam Need I remind you that 1 Cor 14:34-35 comes *after* 1 Cor 11:5? If your interpretation is correct, Paul would have to say in chapter 11 that the women were doing something that they weren’t supposed to because it assumes they were doing ...

@MikeWingerii I go through my explanation of 1 Tim 2:11-15 without referring to

@ronhenzel @ortrails @goteamcarr This commentator has no idea who the "she" and "they" are, misses Paul's reference to the 'seed of the woman, Eve' (ie. the childbearing⎯definite singular noun), and is hypothesizing about home roles. Paul is writing...

Here is an explanation by Dr. James White explaining how the anaphoric use works. It's a bit complicated, so I hope that this clip helps you understand how I arrived at this in my exegesis of 1 Tim 2:11-15. This is how I inferred that the anaphoric...
