@DelaKram75 @LipchakH I don’t believe it was because Eve was deceived first, but Eve was deceived because she was created last (according to 1 Tim 2:13-14). Reading Genesis 2 closely, we see that Adam saw God create animals, garden plants and trees ...

@Omniisnotbussin @MarkGrote Do you have a Jewish male pastor, or are Gentiles allowed? By the same reasoning, women also are not excluded. Regarding 1 Tim 2:12, Paul left Timothy behind in Ephesus to stop false teaching not to stop females from t...

@sympatheticNPC Here’s the result of debating with GPT just now: In the context of Genesis 3:17, the phrase "listened to the voice of his wife" indeed presents a nuanced situation. Since the text does not record a direct verbal exchange between Eve ...

@igarglewithfire And his underwear should say “property of my wife.”

@igarglewithfire 🤨 I respectfully disagree 😂 But then I’m egalitarian.

@JeremyMBauman @MarkGrote @kelcy_lowry @hamillaaron @MikeWingerii Unfortunately he didn’t steelman the view that there was a particular deceived woman in Ephesus teaching false doctrine whose husband (likely an elder or respected person) was being si...

@dougponder They avoid the term shepherding? But shepherding isn’t in Titus 2:6-8 regarding men either. But what each is doing is shepherding. No doubt women have a role to shepherd younger women just as men should shepherd younger men. The latte...

@sparkobuzzer @DriverXag @ZacharyGarris This passage is such a strong corrective of the complementarian position because if women are also sons then why do they treat them as though they are not going to rule and reign with Christ one day? Are they ...

@sparkobuzzer @DriverXag @ZacharyGarris Most complementarians I have interacted

@DriverXag @sparkobuzzer @ZacharyGarris Gal 3:26 is not dealing with physical land, but the inheritance given to Jesus. It’s about salvation and everything else. This includes the church. There’s nothing passed from male to male in terms of leader...

@Ripple_Train @ZacharyGarris You are correct that the Greek only says sons. It also says that all are sons, which you’ve also correctly noted. However, if all are sons and receive the inheritance of sons then that clearly indicates that there is no...

@ZacharyGarris This verse is a very strong correction to Patriarchalists and complementarians because all of us—men and women—are considered sons. The 2020 version is trying to point out that these sons include males and females (the NASB still show...

@ZacharyGarris I have your book—do you want me to refute it here? There is no where that says teaching men is a sin. That is not stated in 1 Tim 2:12 nor anywhere else. Teaching itself is not authoritative, the Word of God is the authority. The i...

@ZacharyGarris But an unrepentant, willful lifestyle of sin means you are outside of the faith. Again, where—and you must provide this—is a woman speaking, teaching, leading, overseeing, pastoring EVER stated to be a sin or listed in any list of sin...

@ZacharyGarris Let me know what creed says that women cannot occupy positions of leadership or serve as a pastor or preach or teach truth. Next, you can take a look at any list of sin in scripture and you won’t find women speaking, teaching, leading...

@ZacharyGarris Firstly, I absolutely do not deny the authority of the Bible! Be

@IIIIIJOSHIIIII @smashbaals That response is getting tired. “The woman” is NOT Eve, but Eve is a prototype in that she was deceived while Adam was not. The situation in Ephesus mirrors that in the garden where a wife who is deceived and has left th...

@igarglewithfire You are right about how ignorant people are to use a verse like this to stop you from saying anything anywhere. That’s clearly over the top. Yet even the idea that in the church you need to keep silent violates God’s commands in ...

@SimonReye @hashim_warren @Duke456521 @MikeWingerii The reason I don't prefer "domineer" or "master" is because of how Paul uses the example of Adam and Eve and I don't think this was what was going on in the garden of Eden. I think he's tying the f...

@ZacharyGarris @JohnnyABenson I am an egalitarian. I believe in mutual submission one to another in the body of Christ (which means wives to husbands and husbands to wives, congregants to pastors and pastors to congregants). Women are not restricte...

@ZacharyGarris @monokitsune_x3 Can you please list where “role” is stated in the

@ronhenzel @ZacharyGarris Where do we find any statement of women speaking in church or teaching from the pulpit listed as a SIN? The word SIN is never used. If you think that sin is defined by disobeying a command, then consider the following comm...

@ronhenzel @Allbald2 @ZacharyGarris Ephesians 5:21 (NASB) and be subject to one another in the fear of Christ. “To one another” is a reciprocal pronoun. See the Greek grammar below: The "reciprocal pronoun" is as follows: The New Testament, partic...

@ymmotrojam The Amplified Bible says that anyone who doesn’t recognize the Lord’s commandments (throughout chapter 14) is to be disregarded and not recognized. The ISV says "he should be ignored." Those who refuse to acknowledge that it is the comm...

@ZacharyGarris This is not true. After considerable study and reflection, I believe I am following the scripture accurately by being egalitarian. I’m telling Christians how I believe the scripture is consistent with this view and how one is not vio...

@No_Sugar_m8 @smashbaals Why would you say that Jewish believers held contempt for Paul? Paul was accepted by the leaders and members of the Jerusalem church. There were letters circulating supposedly from him but which were forgeries, so he has re...

@ZacharyGarris I wonder if Chrysostom would have praised Junia as outstanding among the apostles and also called her “weak and fickle”? And that while she was outstanding, would he also she really ought to have kept to her place at home and be silen...

@ronhenzel @ZacharyGarris These things being true⎯and you won't be able to refute them, the only other anarthrous is "a woman" in vs 11-12. This fits as she is there in the church at Ephesus. She is deceived and unsaved but her husband is not decei...

@ronhenzel @ZacharyGarris While you are working hard on that question, you'll also want to consider that "the woman’s" transgression that happened because she was deceived was a past action, but the continuing results of the transgression are a prese...

@AJRigney @ZacharyGarris I don’t know if you have tried to instruct someone who is objecting constantly, but objections are frequent with false teachers because it seems they disagree on every point you make so you can’t get far. Often it takes quie...

@AJRigney @ZacharyGarris There’s nothing in this verse that suggests the issue is interruptions. The context is dealing with false teachers, and so the most natural explanation is that there is a deceived woman teaching false doctrine whose non-dece...

@ronhenzel @ZacharyGarris Hi Ron! So “She will be saved” applies to Eve? Isn’t

@ZacharyGarris @wintrwizrd That verse is not speaking generically of all women.

@ZacharyGarris Now, I haven’t reviewed what this lady is teaching, but godly women should not be prevented from teaching correct doctrine whether it’s to women or men. 1 Tim 2:11-15 is typically used to restrict women. However, in context and with ...
