The Case Of The Battling Proof Texts Part One

Why Was Adams Sin More Serious Than The Sin Of Eve Part Two

While we have seen from part one that Adam’s sin was said to have been a deliberate transgression of the covenant and as a result it was a treacherous act against God (Hosea 6:7) where does that leave the seriousness of Eve’s sin

Does God Have One Unique Law Part One

If complementarians are right in their interpretation of 1 Timothy 2:12, then God must have one completely unique law. This “law” forbidding women from teaching the bible to men is not like any other law in the bible

What Is True Headship

With all of the talk on submission of a wife, we should at least grant that submission is not related to suppression of God’s gifts.
