@AJG797 @TomBuck I understand the importance of Paul's reference to this prototypical couple in this personal letter to Timothy as he writes of a situation which is known to both himself and Timothy. Men are deceived all the time. But why was Adam ...

@ekkiet @ChrisHohnholz That’s correct. The idea being that she is deceived and so Paul is preserving her dignity until Timothy has a chance to deal with her. It’s a personal letter from Paul to Timothy so Timothy would know. This interpretation ma...

@uncledando @ChristChurchTe1 @TomBuck Without the limitation of having men rule

@rightresponsem I think your view is one of many that complementarians have to navigate as the Bible doesn’t give guidance and when, where and how a woman can teach, what to do if men are present, how an overseer oversees without violating these rule...

@TomBuck Amen to that! Best thing we could do is show people how to rightly div

@anahnemoo @William_E_Wolfe This is divisive!! Since when is allowing women to preach true doctrine or lead based on God’s gifting a gospel issue?! In some ways it is because of Gal 3:28 and you can be certain women were saved just like men in the ...

@TomBuck Gal 3:26-28 shows that there is a change for those in the church (in Ch

@TheLone73479323 @RenOfMen @ZacharyGarris @jerr_rrej To say that it is worshippi

@RenOfMen @ZacharyGarris You are right that it is dangerous to say that you don't like what the Bible says and then come up with your own way. But what if we've been reading these passages on women wrong in the first place and one can be faithful to...

@BogdanOancea77 @Hansronsdorf Hans may have a different viewpoint, but I would think there was some disagreement. There's a quote something like this: "You put three Jews in a room you get four opinions." At any rate, Paul refers to Judiazers that ...

@reformedrandy @thatssocheeky @lagracelaverite Take another look. Here's a cons

@ChrisHohnholz Except 1 Tim 2:11 says "a woman" not "women" and verse 15 says "she (singular) will be saved through the (definite) childbearing (noun) if they (the wife and husband that Paul was referring to)". One would expect verse 14 to say "but ...

@ChrisHohnholz You make good points here. And clearly men can be deceived and women can rebel against what they know. However, there is no evidence of authority or leadership in the original creation. Yes, God's sovereign will was to create the ma...

@rightresponsem @ChrisHohnholz Paul links the order of first creation with deception. Males can clearly be deceived too, so this isn't a comment about gender differences but relates to the specific creation order of Adam and Eve. Because Adam was c...

@RebelDissent @KaeleyT @William_E_Wolfe Where is this law that silences women in

@Wbtesq @William_E_Wolfe Just because some misuse, take texts out of context and

@William_E_Wolfe This all seems to hinge on what this law is and where it comes

@transvangelical @masonmennenga Thanks for the civil conversation and sharing your views. 1. I'm not sure why you think I'm privileged. People increasingly hate Christians and in my country (Canada), even reading my Bible can be considered a hate c...

@masonmennenga @peterben_mn @blanchardJRB Yeah, I'm not a Calvinist and I am pat

@masonmennenga @peterben_mn @blanchardJRB No, that is up to the person deciding

@Kdubtru You are just showing there’s a spectrum of male priority in leadership. If patriarchy seems too extreme you can be complementarian. If you don’t believe women speaking in church is shameful you can still believe that she is meant to not ju...

@YouHaveFought @ronhenzel But then they are treating Calvinism as the gospel and not believing it as meaning you are not a Christian. I shudder to think what Jesus will say to such pastors… 1 Cor 11:29 says “those who eat and drink WITHOUT DISCERNIN...

@Guitardo7 @ronhenzel @mainakcounselor Even Hollywood folks know Judas wasn't there? Hollywood?? Ignoring all of what scripture says on the atonement? The atonement is universal but just as a gift certificate which is fully paid is useless unless ...

@Schweinzig @HwsEleutheroi I realize we disagree…but even most complementarians

@OccamsBraiser @iheartJ37 @MikeWingerii Are you a woman? I’m always curious how some of my biggest detractors are women attempting to correct and teach me that they are not allowed to teach. Just seems odd. Sometimes what seems like nonsense to s...

@OccamsBraiser @iheartJ37 @MikeWingerii You may have helped me find a better explanation in the lexicons so not only am I not embarrassed, I’m elated! I am able to read the Bible in context so I can understand it but sometimes these lexical resource...

@OccamsBraiser @iheartJ37 @MikeWingerii “You really ought to be embarrassed.” Is this really necessary? Thayer’s may have interpretively selected the wrong application here. This isn’t an “A or B” construction though some may think it is. I took ...

@n5iln @KristanHawkins Except Paul was refuting that statement from the Corinthi

@OccamsBraiser @iheartJ37 @MikeWingerii That some quotes aren’t introduced means that it is possible. Therefore, we need to read in context to determine whether or not this is a quote. Paul says to eagerly desire to prophesy, not that everyone will...

@OccamsBraiser @iheartJ37 @MikeWingerii What stands is Paul’s statements in the beginning of chapter 14 up to verses 34-35 and Paul’s questions in verse 36 that contradict verses 34 &amp; 35. My sources were the Exegetical Dictionary of the New Test...

@DilbeckPhd @TheGayPastorTom @RupZip @RickWarren But this statement causes unnec

@OccamsBraiser @iheartJ37 @MikeWingerii - yes, women speaking is gender specific. But why only women? Why is their speech shameful, base, filthy? - the only ones who have to learn at home are wives. But Paul says: "For you can all prophesy one by...

@OccamsBraiser @iheartJ37 @MikeWingerii - Not shameful to interrupt (as that wouldn’t be gender specific). - What makes married women specifically out of order for speaking? - what about single women who cannot ask their husbands? What about younger...

@Tim_Tripod @ofispeaks @pastordmack @RickWarren The key to 1 Cor 14:34-35 is 1 Cor 7:1 "Now for the matters you wrote about..." As for 1 Tim 3 and Titus 1... The Bible is written in Greek, not English. There are no male pronouns there and the refere...

@bjoropeza1 Wouldn't it be a problem if anyone (male or female) was interrupting? What about unmarried women that don't have a husband to teach them? Didn't Paul say that "all could learn"? Why would he stop women? The key is 1 Cor 7:1 "Now for t...

@chadlyrose @Snuggernaut1 @sovereignbrah Not sure where you got that from. “though I myself have reasons for such confidence. If someone else thinks they have reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more: circumcised on the eighth day, of the ...

@HammadAcc2 @AmyMek @jihadwatchRS Some of these are quite difficult passages. Here's an explanation for 1 Tim 2:11-15 that makes sense of this passage, the grammar, the nature of the letter and its context (stopping false teaching), the back referen...

@Snuggernaut1 @chadlyrose @sovereignbrah You need to read this passage in context and make sense of the grammar. Paul's difficult grammar is because of what he tells Timothy in the first chapter. And the reference to Adam and Eve is not about hiera...

@coramdeo1 @mbird12 @ivpacademic I doubt this passage has anything to do with Artemis. Well, at least Paul doesn't explain what the false teaching is. But he also doesn't tell Timothy to stop women from teaching true doctrine. The grammar is also ...

@TheBerean777 @EllaFlash @Maranatha7774 1 Tim 2:11-15 has been taken out of context. I don't blame people, but if you carefully consider the grammar, the purpose of this personal letter to Timothy and the reference to Genesis 1-2, it will make much ...
