@a_muqadashaql_i @SingAtTheGates @DavidEdgington Yes, the Bible is crystal clear. Paul wrote to Timothy to exhort him to instruct certain persons to stop teaching strange doctrines, not to stop the teaching of truth by anyone to anyone. Yep, I'm read...

@carol66944 @KennethOrtiz @BronWen727104 @Paula_333 The entire of 1Cor 14 is talking about doing everything for the edification of everyone. So public speaking in tongues should stop unless there is an interpreter. Speaking all at the same time shoul...

@Truth_matters20 @David_wthebeard Yes, Mt 11:27 teaches that no one can know the Father unless the Son reveals Him. But that doesn’t mean the Son only reveals the Father to a pre-selected group with no regard to our response. Scripture is clear that...

“For God so loved the elect that He gave His only Son, so that the elect will believe and not perish…for God did not send His Son to judge the elect, but so that the elect might be saved through Him.” (Jn 3:16-17, Calvin Version) Is that how your Bi...

@StothersRyan @Svigel Now, does this mean that if the pastor suggested we go outside to pray, would I ignore him? Not unless I had a good reason. One time I had an elder try to do Lectio Divina in an adult Sunday school. He told everyone to close the...

@StothersRyan @Svigel Who said that the church has to do one thing given the church constitutes many parts? If a person feels led to minister to those in prison and leads a group of 3 to assist, why is that in conflict? Elders who pray and confirm th...

@carol66944 @OrinRomine That’s not how Greek works. The 3rd person singular σωθήσεται in v15 cannot refer back to Adam—he’s not the subject of v14, and v15 says “she will be saved if they continue.” Adam is male and singular; the plural “they” exclud...

@SonofCisco @5pur5y @swainslake @DBryanRhodes @TexasPreacher The OP invites speculation because it isn’t just addressing a purist focus on the ministry but on the idea that no woman should be allowed to prepare for serving in that way. And one wonder...

@SonofCisco @5pur5y @swainslake @DBryanRhodes @TexasPreacher So those preparing for full time pastoral ministry don’t want to have to study together with people who are not? Is it because the class has to listen to “irrelevant” discussions that don’t...

@Paula_333 @BronWen727104 That’s what a deacon is… a supportive role. They organize teams, host, weight on tables, distribute donations, etc. Not a single person in the NT aside from Christ is named as a pastor. Only two are named as elder, Peter an...

@Paula_333 @BronWen727104 That's correct. I guess we agree on something :-) But

@Emotionscoach @igarglewithfire @MikeWingerii Yes, absolutely. And Titus 3:10 "Reject a divisive person after a first and second warning" applies to what he is doing by calling people to repent of teaching secondary differences and calling people to ...

@Kamalamaison @iamtheguardians @tmsilverman @legaltweetz Yes, wives are subject to their own husbands in everything. However, given that all are to be subject reciprocally to one another out of a fear of Christ (Eph 5:21), then whatever Paul means in...

@Kamalamaison @iamtheguardians @tmsilverman @legaltweetz 1. Paul is dealing with a specific deceived woman teaching false doctrine and bringing her undeceived husband down with her (like Eve did with Adam). 2. Head doesn’t mean authority over but so...

@Reneechop Note that Paul also says that an entire church consisting of men and women can be deceived like Eve. Yes, men can be deceived too. What causes one to be deceived and another not to? Paul tells us the reason in 1Ti 2:13⎯ ”For it was Adam...

@Ryan_Adair_A Hi Ryan! From one Ryan to another, great name 😉 I see both as negative since Paul's purpose in writing this personal letter to Timothy is to exhort him to remain in Ephesus to stop the spread of strange doctrines (ie. false teaching). ...

@BronWen727104 @lagracelaverite That’s right! μονογαμικός (monogamikos) is a modern Greek term that didn’t exist in NT times. Paul wasn’t describing a married person but one who promoted monogamy and if married was faithful to one wife. Kind of an i...

@jerryfourroux That’s actually the direction Bruce Ware took, the author of CBMW stuff and the following: One God in Three Persons: Unity of Essence, Distinction of Persons, Implications for Life (2015). It became known as Eternal Functional Subord...

@cgore @smashbaals Well, since this was a personal letter to Timothy whom Paul spent years with at Ephesus, all that matters is that Timothy understood who Paul was referring to. Paul writes in ch 1 that some are deceived and are shown mercy (1:13,16...

@DwightsWordOTD Is Charles Johnson inspired? Why do you think his claim is true? The great commission entailing teaching the nations to obey everything Jesus commanded His disciples is given to women too. The Bible is not written only for males. Wh...

@SonOfManXY @smashbaals In a marriage, man is the head of his wife and Christ is the head of His church, both are one flesh relationships and the basis for marriage had Eve made from Adam’s flesh and bone and Jesus provide life to His church. But he...

@Gates_of_Derry @colinsmo This statement is only in a single verse in a personal letter to Timothy with the purpose of stopping false teaching not the purpose of stopping anyone from teaching truth to anyone. Notice Paul shifts from the plural in v9...

@colinsmo Don’t you think your time would be better spent dealing with actually false teaching rather than chasing after which vessel is doing the teaching? So long as a person is of godly and exemplary character and sound in the faith and gifted to ...

@LionofJudah444 @FNANVG @oliverburdick It is not even just husbands to wives and wives to husbands but each person in the body of Christ to each other person. To hypotasso means to work for the best of another which means not always doing what you wa...

@biblemarriages @yallbenonsense @MikeWingerii The law didn’t explicitly specify or regulate a woman divorcing her husband nor did it forbid her. Silence doesn’t mean that she doesn’t also have the right to divorce an unfaithful husband. Do you belie...

@truth_john_14_6 @smashbaals You are taking 1Ti 2:11-12 out of context. Paul’s purpose in writing his personal letter to Timothy was for Timothy to deal with the false teaching not the stopping of anyone teaching the truth to anyone. That conclusion ...

@truth_john_14_6 @smashbaals What matters is not what specific body that God gifts and enables to serve Him, but that this person is of godly character and has the ability to teach and teaches the truth. That one is male or female is itself not the p...

@biblemarriages @yallbenonsense @MikeWingerii This is a good question. I'm not sure I have all the answers on this one, but here is my thinking. One reason may be because many wives were much younger (sometimes teenagers) when married to older men. ...
