@BiffSport @JJacobs63985241 @WomnOfValor Explaining what Paul himself wrote using the context, grammar, audience—no detail left unmapped—and you call that twisting?? Why? Because I love truth! Look, if you think as a male you have primacy, then ac...

@Peacemaker811 @Eric_Conn Gen 2 is not a contradiction of Gen 1! Genesis is zoomed in showing us the perspective of details on day 6 related to the man and woman. It actually details that Adam experiences God in the act of creating plants and tre...

@smashbaals Curious…but my reading of Genesis 2:24 sounds counter cultural to the complementarian view: "For this reason **a man shall leave** his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh." (Gen 2:24) The ma...

@The_SergeMG @smashbaals No, that is incorrect. It is contested as it appears to contradict what Paul writes elsewhere in 1 Cor 14 to start. When your interpretation has Paul contradicting himself then you should revisit your interpretation. Paul ...

@smashbaals Women are unqualified by an immutable characteristic? This sounds like going back to slavery to the law… "It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery." (Gal 5...

@smashbaals Maybe you are having trouble reading the Bible in context. No scholar would take one of the most contested passages and call it “clear.” Think about this: why do women need to be silent in church? Is it to protect vulnerable, weak men ...

@revjeffvox @William_E_Wolfe I don’t think these zones cover me… - I’m with zone 1 on social Justice, but not militant - I’m with Zone 3a in regards to grounding egalitarian views in the Bible and being cooperative with complementarians since it’s a ...

@MrRoyMcAvoy @kelcy_lowry @The_Wry_Griot @JonnyRoot_ Are you suggesting I’m a false convert because I demonstrate a scriptural basis for godly women teaching true doctrine and pastoring? This is not a fundamental of the Christian faith. Can you poi...

@holytension @holytensionhub I don’t disagree with you. I find a lot of reference to Greek for what appears to be for little reason other than to sound sophisticated like one knows what he is taking about. Ultimately, specifying what a Greek word c...

@3HillsMinor @graceforprize @Rattle_Resists @Kdubtru @michael_ronning Paul says “a woman” or “a wife” (which it is has to be determined by the context) and later says “the woman” in verse 14. This is an anaphoric use of the article back to “a woman”...

@3HillsMinor @Rattle_Resists @Kdubtru @michael_ronning I am exegeting and using reasoning—please show me where I’m twisting scripture. You shouldn’t falsely accuse someone of “twisting” scripture. There’s nothing wrong with men leading, but somethi...

@DelaKram75 @LipchakH I don’t believe it was because Eve was deceived first, but Eve was deceived because she was created last (according to 1 Tim 2:13-14). Reading Genesis 2 closely, we see that Adam saw God create animals, garden plants and trees ...

@MrRoyMcAvoy @The_Wry_Griot @JonnyRoot_ Well, Paul's Greek leads me to my conclusions. He chooses not to use male pronouns but rather τις which means "anyone" or "someone." Further, he doesn't exclude women but says "women likewise..." Forbidding ...

@kelcy_lowry @MrRoyMcAvoy @The_Wry_Griot @JonnyRoot_ You have not once “contended” with me. You only say I’m wrong and comment on my character and motives. Maybe if you actually contended with me we would get somewhere? Ah, but you are not allowed...

@AmyCoco81767596 @bibleradioapp @BenZeisloft I agree with everything you said.

@DefendTheSheep God doesn’t want sin in the relationship between the husband and wife. If a wife is physically or feels emotionally abused she may use separation as a tool to help her husband to repent, but I don’t see this as grounds for divorce. ...

@TheChileabSon @MalcangiSarah It’s the idea that you say it’s Biblically required that’s concerning. It’s as if you think that my wife is sinning or doing something wrong if she also manages the home, why does 1 Tim 5:14 say women manage the househo...

@Chad4328 @MalcangiSarah That’s interesting. I’ve never heard anyone say that.

@Prodigerli @MalcangiSarah 1 Tim 2:13-14 and the reference to Adam and Eve is descriptive of why one was deceived and one wasn't. It has to do with the timeline of creation. Adam was formed first, and a careful reading of Gen 2 reveals that Adam sa...

@2samuel12 @_anandacaseyy The idea of the husband being the head of the wife is often misunderstood. I believe it is a mapping back to the first marriage which serves as the foundation for all marriages where Adam was literally the source of Eve bei...

@MarkGrote Education plays a part as elders need to be able to teach and to correct those who contradict the Word, but none of the 12 disciples were educated. What was important was that they spent time with Jesus and were discipled. What changed i...

@DST_QA @sympatheticNPC @ich1ban123456 @ymmotrojam I like how you described this. Jesus didn’t consider equality with God something to be grasped, or held into, but makes himself a servant. This is the statements of the text. He should be worshipp...
