@ronhenzel Eph 5:21 is clear: the subjecting is one to another (in a reciprocal manner) and includes all in the body. Phil 2:3—spoken to all including husbands—is very clear that you are to treat others, including your wife, as more important than y...

@ronhenzel Paul didn’t need to write this to husbands as he said it to everyone.

@ronhenzel Paul didn’t need to write this to husbands as he said it to everyone. Does Phil 2 not apply to you? How do you treat your wife as *more important* than yourself? Doesn’t this mean to submi

@ronhenzel T Wives submitting does not preclude husbands also submitting (Eph 5

@ronhenzel Yes, true, wives submit. No disagreement there. And now tell me why

@ThatSarahLynn @JamMom89 @Yeshua438849431 @firegirl2510 @Chad4328 I appreciate that your desire is to submit to the scriptures. That is an excellent attitude. But is it possible that you may be misunderstanding God's req's? I agree that gifts should ...

@ravensfoodblog @MikeWingerii I didn’t tell you the whole story, I just wanted t

@RenOfMen The scriptures teach mutual submission for all in the body of Christ (Eph 5:21, Php 2:3-4). While egalitarian can sound like each is supposed to assert their rights, I think 'mutualist' is a better term and conveys the idea that each is sub...

@RenOfMen Actually, it seems that patriarchalists refuse to submit themselves to

@RenOfMen Hmm. The women I know understand mutual submission. It seems it is rat

@ravensfoodblog @MikeWingerii Yes, not everyone is an elder. Gifting and proven

@ravensfoodblog @MikeWingerii An elder has a special function and gifting in the body, but all in the body have the same authority to make disciples and to teach them to obey everything Jesus commanded to his disciples. Function—such as oversight—is ...

@ravensfoodblog @MikeWingerii Do you submit to the authority of the “vast majority” of scholars? “A woman” is in vvs11-12 and “the woman” (who is not Eve) is in v14 and the subject of v15 and is the anaphoric use of the article to provide specificit...

@ravensfoodblog @MikeWingerii I submitted to him by not forcing myself into leadership, but he doesn’t have the right to forbid what Jesus did not forbid, so he is in the wrong. If I am living in unrepentant sin and refuse to listen “even to the chu...

@ravensfoodblog @MikeWingerii Well, we are all to submit to each other because God has distributed His gifts differently to individuals and we are to benefit from these gifts and give of those gifts to others for their benefit (Eph 5:21). When you s...

@ravensfoodblog @MikeWingerii Well, yes, there are commands, but these are not made up simply by authority inherent in Paul himself such that he could tell you to sit or stand and you would have to obey or be struck with lightning. There are also a ...

@MikeWingerii Please let me know what church is obeying the following scriptures—I’d like to go there: "What is the outcome then, brothers and sisters? When you assemble, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an i...

@samuel_costner @WokePreacherTV Yeah, you seem to also struggle with reading letters in the Bible in context. Don’t forget this is a personal letter to Timothy instructing him to stop false teaching, not to stop anyone from teaching the truth to anyo...

I don’t always agree with Stanley, and I certainly think there are many who feel that the Bible requires male-only pastors (so I don’t think that his framing of ‘politics over mission’ is accurate), but the problem is about dividing over debatable ma...

@mikeproverbs10 @severegrace @smashbaals The context is stopping false teaching

@Whatsinaname41 @AVER735 Exactly! But he’s going to then use "Eph 5:24: 'Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.'" Yet he takes this in isolation forgetting the context of mutual submission a...

@slow_down_Jess @cjohnsonn0311 @_AndrewHale Well, again, Eph 5:21 says that the submission or subjection is reciprocal for all in the fear of Christ. If it is reciprocal, then no matter how you cache out the remainder of the chapter, it cannot then ...

The following comment is so over the top! If a woman being a pastor is grasping for what even Jesus didn't go after, then what are all the men who call themselves pastors doing??🤔 He thinks that we are to model one way submission, yet the Trinity i...

@landjax Let's rephrase. What authority does the elder have over me? Let's say I'm following scripture. Can they tell me to not follow scripture and I have to obey? So then, what authority do they have? We submit to them as they are serving to help t...
