Matthew 18:20 "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them." This verse is often quoted to convey Jesus' presence in any gathering of believers. Often pastors want to encourage people to not forsake gathering together, but we hav...

@nevermindlind @smashbaals Paul is quoting from the letter the Corinthians wrote (1 Cor 7:1). In this case, he is refuting what the Corinthians wrote. “What? came the word of God out from you [men]? or came it unto you [men] only?” (1 Cor 14:36 KJV...

@nevermindlind @smashbaals You are assuming the conclusion. The great commission is to make disciples and the early churches were not mega church buildings with special pulpits but house churches. In what sense is a woman who has the requisite char...

@tiermakeracco17 @ADRoblesMedia @smashbaals Yes, that unfortunately does happen too. So where’s the correct path? It’s neither Replacement Theology / Supercessionism nor the Hebrew Roots Movement. When I visited the wailing wall it was to watch wh...

@PogromsRComing Seriously? You really think I’m Jewish? You don’t even know me… Your antisemitism is really problematic though. Paul, whom you claim to listen to says this: "I say then, God has not rejected His people, has He? Far from it! For I...

@PogromsRComing @smashbaals Well that ramped up rather quickly. You do realize that Jesus and the 12 apostles were all Jews, don’t you? Would you talk like this to the apostle Paul? And Paul most likely would be agreeing with the death of Jesus wh...

@Presbyterianon There are actually multiple promises, but this one in Gen 12:3 was spoken to Abraham and doesn’t mention his seed. Here are the relevant passages concerning the seed (or offspring, singular) of Abraham: 1. Genesis 12:7 - “Then the ...

@RepentTherefor @Yeshua__Meg @itsvalarieann No. The Sabbath is the 7th day. The church met on the first day to celebrate the resurrection. But the day we meet is not most important. Acts 20:7 - “On the first day of the week we came together to br...

@JoshuaB21642937 @Rach4Patriarchy Yes, Jesus quoted the OT as scripture. And yes, in war you may need to take up arms. If you are a police officer, you should have a gun and you may need to use it. However, even in the Old Testament, you couldn’t...

@The_Wry_Griot @haymes_joshua What makes you believe pastors are hammers? Proverbs 15:1 - "A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” Colossians 4:6 - "Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may...

@DavidAlWilliams @hallelujahtwit @smashbaals Paul spent extended time at several churches during his missionary journeys. Not only did he spend considerable time guiding, teaching, preaching and overseeing at these churches, but he continued to foll...

@eltrucker87 @wbigs2001 @smashbaals We were taking about elders/overseers/bishops/pastors not apostles. But you said Paul was an apostle and not an elder. I showed you scripture that an apostle can be both an apostle and an elder. The text literal...

@eltrucker87 @wbigs2001 @smashbaals 1 Peter 5:1 (NASB 2020): “Therefore, I urge elders among you, as your fellow elder…” If Peter was both an apostle and elder, then we have a documented case of one being both. Paul was very obviously an overseer o...

@The_Wry_Griot @SadieMills19 @smashbaals Do you realize how silly that sounds?

@Mockinglogos @DickSaban1 Actually, ἑνὸς ἀνδρὸς γυνή translates to 'the wife of one man,' and μιᾶς γυναικὸς ἄνδρα to 'the husband of one woman.' The phrases are equivalent in meaning but use the genitive case differently to indicate possession. It j...

@m_james76997 @wbigs2001 @smashbaals It's a great question. Maybe the next question you ought to ask is why He only chose Jews as apostles. Are we only to have Jewish pastors and elders? What do you mean by "How does it work if she's married"? It...

@SadieMills19 @The_Wry_Griot @smashbaals Regarding the part from the commentary you provided regarding the law reference. Genesis 3:16 is not a commandment ("shall rule" is not in the imperative), it was spoken to the woman (so God wasn't giving Ada...

@The_Wry_Griot @smashbaals Which scripture is he citing? All I see is a claim.

@Protestia Wow, this is not exegetical, nor does it take into consideration the stated purpose of this letter from Paul, his grammar and the context and references he uses. She appears to be a deceived woman whom is similar to the one Paul spoke abo...

@Rach4Patriarchy I’m not sure I’m a great debater and debates can sometimes seem more about rhetoric than actually looking at the facts. I’d be more than happy to respond to arguments you make here. But I’m curious… in your theology are you even al...

@Mosleya62Mosley @dannolane @Rach4Patriarchy Usually leaders are those who serve all and lead by example. They are mature, lead exemplary lives, are humble, Biblically faithful, and elders/overseers/pastors must be able to teach and correct false te...

@reformedstateom @LordRanglican @William_E_Wolfe @G3Conference @ScottAniol What Biblical duty? Are you aware of what the Bible says about cowards? It is not cowardly to be willing to die. Jesus did it. The apostles did it. Revelation 21:8 (NASB ...

@Ashwin_Vengayil @tj7688 1—I don’t likely agree with the way he is using scripture. His intent is not to “wipe out” innocent civilians in Gaza. You are swallowing the pill Hamas delivered and it seems to be working. Won’t be long and you will want...

@Zari_Thustra @GavinMclnnes @onefootpicaday @marinasmigielsk This isn’t about feelings, but about consistency of the scriptures. These passages as frequently interpreted stand out in contrast to things that suggest otherwise. My only purpose was to...

@TonySmith7MD Before this event, the disciples had been granted authority by Jesus to perform various miracles as part of their ministry. In Mark 6:7-13, for example, Jesus sends them out two by two, giving them authority over impure spirits. The acc...

@Urist1689 @smashbaals There are certainly instances where the Father submits to the Son or where His willingness to do whatever the Son requests is evident. 1. In John 17, Jesus prays for his own glorification, as well as for his disciples and all ...
