@pauldirks @take_me_jesus @KaeleyT @CatholicABear Yes, I’m also fine with that.

@pauldirks @take_me_jesus @KaeleyT @CatholicABear Yes, I’m also fine with that. But how do you get from this that women cannot lead? Also there are single women and widows who don’t have family obli

@pauldirks @KaeleyT @CatholicABear The way you are phrasing your question—and what I know you believe about gender role linkages—leads me to believe you are asking whether men can replace a mother in child-rearing. I don’t think they can ever replac...

@j_bryan_price @GrandmaD62 @TaylorRMarshall @smashbaals Language has limitations and can be misinterpreted, but this does not mean that the meaning of its author is lost and requires someone else to tell you what it means. Everything and everyone is...

@gary_groyper @moniemon84 @MillerStream @JonnyRoot_ Well, I think you misunderstand this passage. Paul was stopping false teaching, not women. There was a particular deceived woman who was teaching false doctrine and her husband who wasn’t deceived...

@faithwillsaveu @AlfredDolan1 @smashbaals That verse does not restrict all women

@Jose287631 @igarglewithfire I appreciate your tone. “This is the brass tacks,

@godlywomanhood That’s not true. 1 Tim 2:11-15 is referring to a specific deceived woman teaching in the church at Ephesus. Her husband is not deceived and saying nothing—and so this couple is just like the prototypes in Genesis 3. Paul is deali...

@masonmennenga I have to agree with you here. Paul even said: “I wish that all

@cwierzbicki9 Thanks for quoting the passage. The context is the entire letter,

@AntGrayLiving @skolvikings @KPalms21 @farmingandJesus Many people and cults can say that about many passages. The only way to know whether my interpretation is correct is to test it against the scripture. I’ve worked to take all details in the rel...

@randyadkins1689 @DST_QA @YourCalvinist The NT is in Greek and sometimes the English hides the specificity of the original text and smooths it out according to one interpretation. What do you suppose Peter might have been thinking of in Paul’s writi...

@kimberley_7_ @GillesPaling @BogdanOancea77 I don’t believe the Biblical text—when carefully considered—teaches there are gender restrictions on leadership. I’m also questioning what is meant by “authority over men.” The word used in 1 Tim 2 is aut...

@MargMowczko Since Paul was responding to the letter from the Corinthians (see 1 Cor 7:1) and since we don't have quotation marks and have to infer them by the context, wouldn't it make sense that Paul was quoting from their letter which was from Jud...

@RenOfMen @Rach4Patriarchy @KnowlandKnows Scripture is not explicit about pastors being male only. Paul is dealing with a specific situation in Ephesus that he and Timothy whom he wrote his letter to would know about. It was not someone to name yet...

@Buzzsaws1990 @Rach4Patriarchy That point in BDAG is refuting that the Hebrew passages listed do NOT establish the meaning cousin. The Hebrew is used loosely in isolated cases, but this is the Greek and the context doesn't make sense of cousin. The...

@AdamJKrejci @Rach4Patriarchy We must go back to scripture on these things. Yes

@Rach4Patriarchy “Theotokos, the Holy Mother of God” - Mary is the mother of the body of Jesus. Yes Jesus is God but to say that Mary is the Mother of God who has no beginning is misleading. And the Bible never refers to her this way. “is the embo...

@DST_QA The NASB has "submit" in italics because this is how the translators have decided to indicate that a word is not present in the Greek. κεφαλὴ (kephalē) can mean the head part of the body, the source of a stream like the headwaters, the corne...

@Rach4Patriarchy @ABDada Well, every Christian is called to be subservient ("Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ" Eph 5:21 NIV). And keeping home and raising children is a commendable job. I think we forget that you can do a business ...

@pkh7276_pkh @MarkGrote @OperHealAmerica Those verses in 1 Cor 14:34-35 are not referring to source or origin. However, whenever you see the Greek “kephale” it can mean source or origin depending on the context. Is it proper for anyone to have auth...

@pkh7276_pkh @MarkGrote @OperHealAmerica What does that mean “have authority over men”? You mean any man in the church, or even the pastor, can just tell you what to do? If it is due to order of creation, then the animals should rule over people as...

@DST_QA First, here’s a thread on 1 Tim 2:11-15. Paul is not stopping qualified

@lesbian_gran @storyofndblake @5Solas2 Paul’s not restricting qualified and gift

@trapatonzi @UGOOTWEETS Start with the one you quoted. “A woman…a man…” why does Paul use the singular here? He used plural for all people, for all males and for all women in the prior verses. Why wouldn’t he say “women are not allowed to teach…”?...

@trapatonzi @UGOOTWEETS I agree…stick to what it says. Don’t prevent qualified,

@trapatonzi @UGOOTWEETS But what is the scripture saying? What about qualified

@5Solas2 The Bible doesn’t restrict qualified women from preaching true doctrine

@pauldirks @KaeleyT In this same lecture you also assert that women are relational and men are protective and this results in a division of labor. However, that the man helps protect does not give him primacy in leadership. That the woman is relati...

@pauldirks @KaeleyT You also refer to men being created first, that this is not like a grocery list (this first then that) but male PRIMACY. You referenced 1 Tim 2:13, but if you would review my post on this (below), you may understand that being cr...
