@Solomon_Buchi There’s a verse that explicitly calls the man to also submit to his wife: "The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does; and likewise the husband also does not have authority over his own body, but the wife...

@conscious_emma @JohannSchultz7 @musicbykwiz @CaudilloNuclear This is close. But I think the only way to make sense of all the details is if Paul was quoting from the letter from the Corinthians (see 1 Cor 7:1) and then refuting those men who were t...

@giantshitcomin1 @godlywomanhood Or maybe you are reading this out of context? Most people can sense that just by reading the whole chapter where Paul speaks inclusively of all. Here Paul quotes from the letter the Corinthians wrote and refuted tho...

@thunk_huda Yes. Paul is quoting from the letter the Corinthians wrote to him (s

@randyjswife Really? Could people just be reading Paul wrong? 1 Cor 14:34-35–P

@MAINMAN171 ⁉️ That’s the reaction most people should have as they are reading chapter 14 and encounter these verses! Paul was quoting from the letter the Corinthians wrote to him (see 1 Cor 7:1) and refuting those men that were trying to silence h...

@Hallucinator33 @DinosaurLes @Richard56245924 @churchofengland Yes, I’m not claiming Paul’s writings are not scripture. But Peter also notes that Paul writes some things that are hard to understand (2 Pet 3:16) and Peter is a contemporary of Paul. ...

@Dionysu06200560 @DBrimzim @smashbaals Paul is responding to a number of things that the Corinthians wrote in their prior letter to him (1 Cor 7:1). His rhetoric is refuting their attempt to silence half the body of Christ. He is very clear in the ...

@Converted84 @ThomasReeseSJ @NCRonline @HeidiSchlumpf @dearmisskate Jesus is serving as our high priest. His human ‘replacement’ is His body, the church which includes all its members. Why are you calling my church sodomitical? Why are you asking ...

@CivicNatalist @jchasedavis Right, not everyone is a leader. There is considerable variation in complementarian circles. The point being that dividing churches because women occupy a pastoral or elder or overseer role harms the body of Christ. It ...

@JustinPetersMin I object because the SBC disfellowshipped them on the basis of something that should have never been listed in any statement of faith. This is Jesus’ body, not the SBC’s private kingdom!! They don’t have to agree with egalitarians,...

@jchasedavis Then there are others who after studying the scriptures more carefu

@AaronOKelley @bartbarber Whether or not women are ordained or not is not an essential of the faith! Why is this so hard to understand? You don’t need to agree with egalitarians. **However, you NEED to work with them.** This is Jesus’ body, not y...

@megbasham @bartbarber Rather, @bartbarber ⎯ please justify why you are dividing Jesus’ body based on something that is not the basis of our faith and is not listed in a list of sins in scripture. You don’t have to agree with egalitarians. **But yo...

@NateSchlomann It is the SBC who has gone too far and made a secondary issue into a primary issue to divide over. It should never have been done. The church is Jesus’ body and Jesus cares about unity. When you carelessly divide His body, you cause...

@megbasham The SBC adding secondary matters into its statement of faith (even though done years ago) is causing harm to the body of Christ. The church belongs to Jesus and Jesus cares about unity in His body. When we divide over matters that are no...

@JasonSm32486931 @ortrails @goteamcarr When I began to investigate Paul more carefully, Paul became so much better to me. What I once thought was either confusing or at worst made Christianity look bad, I know understand as the wisdom of God. Why a...

@godlywomanhood 1 Cor 7:4–6 (NIV): “The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife. Do not deprive each other except p...

@PubliusJosephus @DickSaban1 @njbemont It’s not about teaching “authority” but a

@aleciajonesnow @fat_brownie @goteamcarr The vast majority of those who go to seminary don't know what this means: "Where two or three are gathered, there I am in their midst." No one is said to "authentein" anyone. Is a man supposed to be an autho...

@DST_QA Frequently masculine is used for a mixed audience, so you have to determine these things by context. In this case, it would be certain men who are restricting half of the body from speaking in the assembly, so Paul would be addressing those ...

@TakTik227f1 @Genichiro42069 @KaitlynSchiess No, that's not what is going on here. Equal treatment is not the same as modern feminism. I am upholding God's word, not the doctrines of men which hold back half of the body of Christ from participating...

@CrankyKat @DeniedTitan @RevJacquiLewis There’s a soft side to this complementarian view that is certainly appealing, but it still misses some things about these passages and inserts authority and hierarchy and gender based roles that are not what th...

@Rach4Patriarchy There are certainly a lot of problems in the protestant church (well, most churches), but it would seem that your main issue is with egalitarian views on gender. Treating this as a major issue and not a secondary matter is serious. ...

@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...

@pauldirks @KaeleyT Wives submitting to their husbands is in the context of the

@danitreweek It's genuinely heartening to hear about your experience with complementarians who demonstrated such respect and equality. Indeed, the very best complementarians are those who, in practice, embody an egalitarian approach. =) The challeng...

@TimHami97610674 @BogdanOancea77 I didn’t see this somehow. Sorry for the delay! Yes I absolutely believe that God gifts irrespective of biological sex, ethnicity and social status in the body for the benefit of all! A gifted and qualified woman w...

@blitziod @muddymothball @godlywomanhood Also, 1 Cor 7:3-4 says the wife has authority over the husband’s body. How does that work when you have two wives? One has to sleep alone for half of their married lives? How does she feel hearing her husba...

@JohnMoo26668690 @WillEhrendreich @ElizabethOstli1 So you agree that the husband

@WillEhrendreich @JohnMoo26668690 @ElizabethOstli1 Think about this for a second…If the man doesn’t have authority over his own body…then what makes you think he has authority over his wife? I’m simply finding an example where the husband is said he...

@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...

@YouHaveFought @ronhenzel Hard to find a good church nowadays. I’d say the restrictions in your current church are not good though. Not being allowed communion? Communion is to be taken by all by Jesus’ command. Restricting that treats you like y...

@Ken_FiveSolas Well, why would Paul not want women to speak when he encouraged A

@ronhenzel Except that the Bible doesn’t say it’s permanent. It is always conditioned on you remaining in him and continuing in the faith. 1 Cor 9:27 “No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I my...

@BogdanOancea77 Where does the text say that it is disgraceful for the men? It is the men who are calling it disgraceful and shameful. It is the men who Paul is refuting. The point is not "why do these men need to be taught by women?" but "why do ...

@BogdanOancea77 Upon what basis can you claim that God doesn't call women to preach and teach for the benefit of all? Why would God gift a women for the benefit of only half of the body? To me, this seems like a limitation on the men. Men are not ...

@ianfranklin @MikeWingerii The only scripture related to authority over either husband and wife is the following: “The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. The wife does not have authority over h...

@Tomasdearc @Moralco61898803 @William_E_Wolfe @RickWarren So let me see if I get this straight….Jesus wants His body to be divided by gender? And someone who reads his Bible and is convinced that women in his local church can be pastors is unfriendl...

@Tomasdearc @Moralco61898803 @William_E_Wolfe @RickWarren So the SBC isn’t Jesus

@Mcnerd8 @William_E_Wolfe @sbcamendment @9Marks We are not to unnecessarily divide the body. It doesn’t mean that we cannot believe different things. For example, as an egal, I can submit to comp leadership but I know 3 churches where I asked the p...
