@residentreformr @sola_chad So the church existed at the time of King David? Because back then—even as now—not all who were descended from Israel belong to Israel.

@MarinaRohr2012 @ExtraSaltedNuts @FoxWayward @rightresponsem Right…but justice is that Jesus took our shame and guilt on himself. So if someone comes to Christ, I don’t think that forgiveness and mercy is immediately followed by execution. Now you ma...

@restoredkgdm @rightresponsem Paul wasn’t referring to what Saul did to Christians before he believed. That’s my point. As a Christian you would know the change that comes by believing in Christ. Why would you want to put a new Christian to death fo...

@BKitten16 @ToupeeCostanza @rightresponsem Paul considered himself the h ce used of sinners because he was responsible for putting Christians to death and imprisonment. “Now Saul approved of putting him to death.” (Ac 8:1) As for the woman caught i...

@Gbackupx The Bible nowhere says that women shouldn’t preach. 1Ti 2:12 is in the context of Paul leaving Timothy in Ephesus to instruct certain people not to teach ‘strange doctrines’—but this has nothing to do with anyone preaching the truth to any...

@grok @CDDTReborn @autocorrect2_0 @alcadizzar19 Westfall seems to see the issue here being that the woman is forcefully taking over leadership; my view is that this is not about 'usurping authority' or anything of that sort, simply that those who kno...

@NowRope @4res44444444 @churchtalkative Your opinion is not backed up by 1Ti 2:12 because you failed to take this passage in its context. Paul is writing to Timothy so that he would remain in Ephesus to instruct certain people not to teach strange do...

@XiRuZhaJi @BishopJaxi Yes, I know this. But Jesus was speaking metaphorically.

@TruthBToldNow1 I appreciate you engaging and sharing where you disagree. I have no problem with you disagreeing! Why doesn’t Paul use Eve’s name? Why does Paul use “the woman”? You suggest that Paul is simply referring to what she was called pre-f...

@sl4Yahweh I understand this view. I just don’t see this anywhere in scripture.

@BronWen727104 @danitreweek The NIV translation of 1Co 11:10 is really close to the Greek. A woman should have authority *over her own* head (whether to cover/uncover, cut/shave, etc). The reason Paul gives is “because of the angels.” Now where do we...

@WellRedneck A quick response to your last statement, “…the man is the head”— I agree that the husband is the head of his wife. I just don’t believe this has anything to do with being the authority or boss or trump card holder. Now for your response...

@King_Brody @LukeBennerE On the latter, have you read the letter to Philemon? Paul doesn’t command Philemon as an apostle but appeals to him in love. His appeal is that, now that Onesimus is a brother in Christ, Philemon should treat him as he would ...

@Here4Now0829 Well said. What I find curious about Mike is that he says that an egalitarian view is harmful to marriages…but he makes decisions in his marriage based on consensus just like me. I wish I could corner him in a room and press him on thi...

@Here4Now0829 That’s totally fair. I wouldn’t ask any more than this. Further, if you remain a complementarian, that is fine by me. I’m here arguing my case, but you are free to disagree. That said, when complementarians treat egalitarians like they ...

@Here4Now0829 Right, ‘can be’ doesn’t mean it is. Meaning is governed by context. Again, Paul didn’t use explicit masculine pronouns (ie. autos, etc). Neither did he say clearly, “an elder must not be a woman.” When we are debating the details, we ca...

@Here4Now0829 Nice catch on Judas! Indeed the word used is the same as in 1Ti 3:1 and Tit 1:7, though this was before the church. However, from this you could infer that all of the 12 apostles were overseers (and thus elders). However, that you had ...

@Here4Now0829 I can understand that you may not be comfortable with a female pastor/elder, but the Bible doesn’t forbid women from serving in this way. And there should be multiple elders, qualified men and women. 1Ti 2:12 in context is Paul referri...

@ymmotrojam @5SolasMissy It surely includes at least those who do and will believe. However, 2Pe 2:3 talks about false teachers who “deny the Master who bought them” and later, “For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world by the kno...

@pjgurry @carol66944 Actually, since Paul clearly shows submission is mutual, for this reason we know that whatever he says after Eph 5:21 is not about authority or hierarchy. I recently responded to another thread involving Andy Stanley, Mike Winge...
