@KurodaSenpai @smashbaals Smash said "it is unbiblical" meaning if you do it you are going against the Bible. Rather he should have said, there is no Biblical restriction on women joining the military, though it would seem preferable that men should...

@DST_QA @sympatheticNPC Ok, I understand what you are trying to say. We don't follow the example of generals and the military because this doesn't necessarily reflect scripture. We are not fighting a physical war which requires physical strength, b...

@DST_QA @sympatheticNPC No, I don't think that this is required only of the husband. It depends on the circumstances. In a war, why would one send the physically weaker partner to carry a gun and slog in the mud and trenches? If I need a kidney tr...

@DST_QA @sympatheticNPC Sure, I understand you are not only responding to the few who are interacting. If you think of submitting as a matter of authority over the will of another, I think this may be why it is repulsive to you. We are not "command...

@DST_QA @sympatheticNPC Why do you need a quora post to summarize what you said quite well in 2 sentences? I never said that we are to treat God like a genie, or that he will do something that is not aligned with his will, but that he submits to doi...

@DST_QA @sympatheticNPC Yes, authority needs to be given. We need to deal with the text and not add things in that are not there when authority is given in this very context to both Adam and Eve. God gave dominion to humans as an imperative in Gen ...

@sympatheticNPC Here’s the result of debating with GPT just now: In the context of Genesis 3:17, the phrase "listened to the voice of his wife" indeed presents a nuanced situation. Since the text does not record a direct verbal exchange between Eve ...

@sympatheticNPC Yes! God included specific details in this text for those earnestly seeking truth. Is there ever an end to these gems? 😅 This passage isn't about Eve undermining Adam’s authority, but rather highlights Adam's responsibility for hi...

@pauldirks @DeeGoingsGirl @KaeleyT Then by that you are sanctified by your wife

@DeeGoingsGirl @pauldirks @KaeleyT Yes, and your willingness to do what you believe is right is commendable. For the record, as an egalitarian I don’t believe in forcing oneself into positions just because you believe you have the right to. Even as...

@BibleBashed Women are not looking to avoid doing things for others, they just want to be allowed to serve in the capacity of their gifting and desire. Housework can be shared or taken by either the husband or the wife or ideally the whole family. ...

@DeeGoingsGirl @pauldirks @KaeleyT “But many who are first will be last; and the last, first.” (Matt 19:30) The fact that people make Gal 3:26-29 about eternity only is unjustified. What we are doing now is preparing us for eternity. And those who...

@pauldirks @DeeGoingsGirl @KaeleyT This shows that you think Christ changes a woman **through** the husband. Paul—as respectfully as I can say it, this is a recipe for disaster. If it seems to be working for you, that is by the grace of God or perh...

@pauldirks @KaeleyT @DeeGoingsGirl On the contrary, when the church is complementarian-ized, the uniqueness of the work of Christ is taken away. - Where do we have a human being told to sanctify another human being? - Where are the methods the man i...

@pauldirks @DeeGoingsGirl @KaeleyT Well, I didn't say it should be done without telling the elders, but that the elders are not the church. It would be probably wise to tell the elders first. However, my prior church added the elders as the third a...

@kelcy_lowry @JeremyMBauman @hamillaaron @MarkGrote Thanks, I appreciate this response. I pray first that while many of us disagree, we can appreciate those who are doing their best to try to follow scripture and obey Jesus’ instructions and not bre...

@kelcy_lowry @JeremyMBauman @hamillaaron @MarkGrote You are free to share your opinions without substantiating them if you choose, but the fact that we disagree is already on the table. Also, treating women as equal in that those of godly character ...

@DeeGoingsGirl @pauldirks @KaeleyT Matt 18:15-20 and church discipline doesn’t even say “if he refuses to listen to the 1 or 2 (additional) witnesses, then take it to the elders”—no, it says “take it to the church” and that doesn’t mean to the “staff...

@BibleBashed @sympatheticNPC BDAG interprets this to mean to behave in a courageous way. This doesn’t mean a woman can physically overpower a man just like David couldn’t physically overpower Goliath. But the more the power differential, the more c...

@BibleBashed @sympatheticNPC So your entire argument is that men can do more because they have more physical strength? And yet the entire Israel army of skilled fighting men was bested by a mere boy who threw rocks at a giant. God uses the weak to ...

@BibleBashed Being strong and having courage does not mean physical strength or growing a pair of male gonads. It appears that you are the one who doesn't know what courage means. “Then he said to me, 'This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel, sa...

@BibleBashed @sympatheticNPC Women in that time were not usually the ones who trained for war, men did. So to "be like women" is simply a pejorative stereotype showing how these Egyptian men will cower before the Lord. BTW, if men can act like wome...

@BibleBashed Egalitarianism is nonsense to Patriarchalists. Tell me something I didn’t already know. Courage has nothing to do with strength. In fact, the less strength you have the more courage it takes! Take your head out of the patriarchy sand....
