@KaeleyT @pauldirks Paul, I think that’s the first time someone said that I’m deeply impacted by Marxist ideologies! I’m a bit concerned that if I didn’t answer this you would somehow conclude I’m a Marxist… 🧐 The authority structures that God has ...

@Manda2364333130 @Brian_Sauve Not so. Gen 3:16 was spoken to the woman, not the man, and it wasn’t an imperative and the tense allows for future fulfillment (a prophecy). We have been told so many times that God ordained males to lead that we think...

@Brian_Sauve @Manda2364333130 I see. You need to do some more study and reflect

“Lords: They rule well.” - Gen 1:28 is a plural imperative commanding both men and women to "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion…”. Are you encouraging women to violate God’s command? “Husbandmen: They shep...

@KaeleyT I’m as frustrated as you by this response. But it is a sure sign that your opponent doesn’t have a strong Biblical response if they lead with pejoratives. I take it as a complement of job well done and move on to someone who actually cares...

@EtAbundatGratia @JayMuratore @MikeWingerii It is eisegesis or confirmation bias to read into Gen 3:16 that she desires to rule her husband. Gen 4:7 is a different context. Sin is not a person, but metaphorically, if sin wants Cain perhaps like a w...

@JayMuratore @MikeWingerii But how do you know what her desire is from that? Perhaps what God is saying is that despite her mistreatment, she will still desire her husband. This is played out time and time again with abusive husbands. You wonder w...

@M_Jensen23 @smashbaals I’m not going to disagree with you there. The more I’m digging into this ‘apostle’ and her testimony the more the concerns are growing. If this is all she is doing, it is not a church. I was reacting to the statement that i...

@Sentinel_VA @smashbaals @TheJaredian Yes, the laws related to clean and unclean foods do not apply to believers after the resurrection of Jesus. However, Paul took a Nazarite vow in the New Testament (Acts 18:18; 21:23-26). He did this post-resurr...

@raydon02 @smashbaals Paul here is saying that there was no custom of head cover

Does nature teach you that it is a shame for men to have long hair (1 Cor 11:14)

@smashbaals How does “nature” teach you that long hair is a shame for men when if they didn’t cut it, it would grow just as long as women’s hair? Was Sampson a shame because he never cut his hair? Anyone who takes a Nazarite vow—or is a Nazarite fo...
