@YoungOneJosh1 @cheryl_hanks @rightresponsem You interpret something purely based on sentence structure? 🤔 If your see your wife as equivalent to sin, then I guess you must master her… Maybe that’s why men are so off base on this. Song 7:10 is the...

@brentprint @rashmoosten @brmorris One of the things that almost sucked me into a Cavinist worldview was the ability of RC Sproul to speak so convincingly. One really has to have their Bible open and actively be reading to not be easily taken in beca...

@JoelBlackford1 @shadowcrewtroll Thanks for sharing those details and the audio. I went to a pastor's conference decades ago where both John Piper and John MacArthur were speaking. After a talk by Piper, a lineup formed for Q&amp;A and as it moved fo...

@dixon_maso90190 Yes! Why would you ask? Calvinism is often found to be dividing churches. By dealing with Calvinism, this hits at one of the roots causing needless division. For example, one Calvinist pastor friend claims I'm semi-Pelagian, so desp...

@ThePastorBurris I agree…he is so extreme.

@mr_shiplet @BiblesForFree Calvinism is an interpretive framework…a system. And

@ThePastorBurris Is Ernie weeping because of the decline of Calvinism?

@robotcop1984 @sola_chad Trolling? Seriously? Why are you dismissing my arguments in this way? Maybe you are trolling, but that’s not what I’m doing. Paul continues describing deacons in the same way as elders using grammatically masculine forms as ...

@robotcop1984 @sola_chad “Women likewise…” “Likewise” (ὡσαύτως) connects these women to the previous category (i.e., overseers or deacons), just as 1Ti 3:8 uses the same word to transition to deacons. Paul highlights some special things for women bu...

@robotcop1984 @sola_chad An elder (pastor) doesn’t need to be married, but if so, then must be monogamous. If not, must advocate for monogamy. An elder doesn’t have to have children, but if so, the child/children should be obedient and believers. Th...

@robotcop1984 @sola_chad Paul says that a married person’s interests are divided, so why would he then require a person to be married to be an elder? Especially given he wasn’t married? “But I want you to be free from concern. One who is unmarried i...

@robotcop1984 @sola_chad Really? From one comment you think I told you everything I know about Paul? If Paul meant an elder must be married, then Paul was disqualified himself. Therefore, he clearly didn’t mean this. Further, since he commended ever...

@robotcop1984 @sola_chad Now if we look at 1Ti 3:1-7, we see: - Nothing forbidding women from serving, - Nothing forbidding singles or the childless, - There aren’t even any male pronouns. So I fail to understand why people forbid qualified, gifted ...

@robotcop1984 @sola_chad Well, the epistles don’t forbid women from serving as elders or teaching truth to anyone. I asked the question b/c of the claim that the NT doesn’t list any F pastors so clearly they weren’t allowed. My response was there ar...

@BronWen727104 Yes, I agree with that. But I don’t see a paid/unpaid distinction

@LoganRamseySDG @sola_chad Do you have a passage where they are called pastor?

@BronWen727104 “And He gave some as apostles, some as prophets, some as evangelists, some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the building up of the body of Christ…” (Eph 4:11–12) If all are equippe...

@ronhenzel First, I didn’t move the goalposts. I explained what I meant. So it only moved in your head. 2nd, my reason for noting that no one is called ‘pastor’ (as in their title) is to show that the argument that no woman is given this title holds...

@ronhenzel Ron, thanks for the reply. It’s been a while. I want to clarify what I meant: There is not one instance in the New Testament where an individual is directly called by the title pastor (ποιμήν). Eph 4:11 uses the noun ποιμένας (pastors) in...

@slyoung687 As I had mentioned in the past, he chooses to decide by consensus, just like how egalitarian marriages make decisions. So he is functionally egalitarian and “the authority” by label only…or so it would seem. Read the following and the po...

@BronWen727104 So someone serving by leading the kitchen crew or managing the distribution to the widows is a pastoring function? I don’t think we are looking at English wording but what terms and contexts the biblical authors used this word for. T...

@VirgilWalkerOMA If she is Eve, there is no sense in which Eve will be saved by the actions of those in the present. But we have a husband and wife in this passage. If she is the deceived wife and the they is her and her husband, then this makes sens...

@VirgilWalkerOMA Many think that authentein means the authority an elder has, yet why would Paul use such an obtuse hapax legomenon to refer to normal elder authority is quite strange. Linda Belleville shows that there was an Attic understanding this...

@VirgilWalkerOMA If indeed we have a deceived married woman teaching heresy and her undeceived husband (perhaps an elder) being silent (remind you of Eden?), then Timothy⎯a single man⎯would be interfering between a husband and wife, a sticky situatio...
