@JosephGeis92207 @Protestia Ok, I would agree if you mean this person (male or female) should not be teaching heresy like this. Most see it as speaking about all women not allowed to pastor.

@iheartJ37 @JoeAdrian256 @dalepartridge @ostrachan I don’t get why it’s so hard to see this. I think that once you realize head doesn’t mean authority but is speaking about source or origin or prominence you can’t unsee that and everything changes. ...

@SocietyOfStChad @RayAwesomer @BertinMbokish @BishopJaxi Eusebius disputed James, Jude, 2 Peter, 2–3 John, Revelation (he personally doubted Revelation). Even Luther disputed James, Jude, Hebrews and Revelation. That people kept disputing certain b...

@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 Thanks for sharing some examples. However, I’d argue that your definition of submission (ie. always deferring even when you think the other person is wrong) creates serious problems. Blind deference is exactly what has allowed corrupt g...

@McMuffin11111 @BahBahBased @Eric_Conn @iliketopreach Marriage is not like the army and the husband is not the superior officer. BTW, why is it that in the only place in the NT that talks about authority between a husband and his wife, the authority ...

@CrackedSkull7 Paul’s context is not isolated platitudes but in the context of a purposeful directed personal letter of instruction to Timothy. Paul was clear about his purpose: that Timothy remain in Ephesus to instruct certain people to not teach s...

@CULTVR3 @Eric_Conn @iliketopreach Actually, it is this very same reasoning that Paul uses later in 1Co 11:10⎯ “A woman should have authority over her own head because of the angels.” Paul is arguing that since she will judge angels then surely she h...

@thatwit45 @AF_Tugboater @LilaGraceRose 1Co 11:3 refers to the head of ‘every man.’ The Greek word here is aner but I believe it is referring to everyone, male and female. Clearly, the head of every person is Jesus because Jesus is the creator of all...

@thatwit45 @AF_Tugboater @LilaGraceRose That translation doesn’t reflect the Greek. It should be “let her” not “she should.” This is referred to as permissive imperative. κειράσθω is a 3rd person singular present middle imperative, hence: “let her c...

@InfinitelyManic @thatwit45 @AF_Tugboater @LilaGraceRose “You are My Son, today I have fathered You.” (Heb 1:5 quoting Ps 2:7). How can Jesus be eternally begotten if scripture says “today” about the incarnation? All persons were uncaused. Further ...

@thatwit45 @InfinitelyManic @AF_Tugboater @LilaGraceRose No. God cannot cease to be God, but the second person added human nature to His nature as God. To become man He gave up His right to initiate. He had to depend on the Father. The scripture is ...

@NotALibertar1an @HakamYaaqub @sola_chad You’re right that Paul isn’t describing Jewish customs in 1Co 11. But it’s inaccurate to say he’s outlining 'roles.' Where are you seeing 'role' in this text? Paul's appeal to creation is about origins, not hi...

@imnotderrek @MikeWingerii As for your last point about the persons in the godhead having roles. Bruce Ware uses the idea that Jesus was sent by the Father to suggest that the Son is eternally subordinate to the Father. However, what we see from the ...

@YoungOneJosh1 @cheryl_hanks @rightresponsem You interpret something purely based on sentence structure? 🤔 If your see your wife as equivalent to sin, then I guess you must master her… Maybe that’s why men are so off base on this. Song 7:10 is the...

@YoungOneJosh1 @cheryl_hanks @rightresponsem Yes, that is true. But the word is also used in Song of Solomon 7:10 Gen 4:7 – sin’s desire is for Cain Song 7:10 – woman says her beloved’s desire is for her Given that Gen 3:16 is regarding the relatio...

@wilson_mar11767 @AndyStanley That’s an interesting bit of information which may bias your examination of this issue! I agree with your concerns. And while you see a connection, I’m egalitarian and I’m telling you that these issues are not connecte...

@wilson_mar11767 @AndyStanley Like I said earlier, I don’t agree with everything Andy says and does. His views on parents obeying children changing gender or affirming gays do not follow from what I’m sharing from scripture. You are conflating these...

@wilson_mar11767 @AndyStanley Mark, even in the comp framework, submission has clear limits—wives shouldn’t submit to sin. So why assume mutual submission means parents obey their child’s confusion? Submission in Eph 5 isn’t blind obedience. It’s Ch...

@wilson_mar11767 @AndyStanley Mark, you said “God gives distinct, complementary roles…” and “Roles are not oppressive—they’re ordained.” Where are you getting “role” from? It’s not even in the New Testament Greek text. Also, roles are fungible in no...

@ronhenzel First, I didn’t move the goalposts. I explained what I meant. So it only moved in your head. 2nd, my reason for noting that no one is called ‘pastor’ (as in their title) is to show that the argument that no woman is given this title holds...

@Mischakatja @3AngelsWatchman No, it says “Adam was NOT deceived”—nowhere in scripture is Adam described as being deceived. And the reason has to do with the time sequence order in which they were created. I cover this in the following thread startin...

@VirgilWalkerOMA I believe Paul is pulling on an older Attic meaning (kind of like using a KJV word today) as it connects what this deceived woman is doing by teaching heresy with her husband sitting silent⎯just like when Eve reasoned the fruit was g...

@VirgilWalkerOMA Paul writes this personal letter to Timothy to exhort him to remain in Ephesus to instruct certain individuals not to teach strange doctrines. Paul's purpose is not to stop anyone from teaching the truth. In fact, in Php 1:8, Paul re...
