Neopatriarch Fails To Refute Cheryl

Some have wondered why “Chris” the complementarian stopped posting here. Apparently, he could not get his refutation of my work to stand in an interactive forum so he moved it over to a place where he could have the floor to himself

@fab1usger @Crystalisives @TabeStorm @MikeWingerii But how we interpret Paul is first by Paul's own words. Testing what he said against the OT is certainly important, but identifying what he said is t

@fab1usger @Crystalisives @TabeStorm @MikeWingerii The Greek is not giving a command for her to cut her hair short. It should be the imperative of permission, something that Dr. Daniel Wallace talks about in his book Beyond the Basics. If Numbers 6 ...

@fab1usger @Crystalisives @TabeStorm @MikeWingerii I'm using Paul's own words in

@fab1usger @Crystalisives @TabeStorm @MikeWingerii Our interpretations differ, but we are hopefully both looking to see whether our interpretations line up with scripture. At least I hope so. You note that the woman is called "helper" which is also ...

@ronhenzel “For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.” (1Co 15:22) Paul does not limit the “made alive” to the elect here. In context (1Co 15:23–24), he speaks of order and outcome, not limitation of scope. The resurrection o...

@KyleJezwinski Interesting. I appreciate it when someone takes the text seriously and tries to obey it. It’s refreshing. But at the same time being open to being possibly wrong about one’s interpretation is important. 1Co 11:1-16 is one of the most c...

@uncledando @FoundersMin @tomascol @GundenGraham @davemitz Except kephale (head)

@defense_of_fam @Ch_JesusChrist That is quite a wild misinterpretation of Malach

@EricMFriel @Truth_matters20 That would require everyone interpret the scripture

@Truth_matters20 Taken in context, Paul’s personal letter to Timothy was so that Timothy would remain in Ephesus to instruct certain people not to teach strange doctrines. Not wanting to name the deceived woman teaching heresy since she hadn’t been c...

@grok @quathamer @dalepartridge How did you decide between a specific woman and the anaphoric use of the article and a generic woman? How does your view tie the context together with Paul’s stated intent, writing specifically to Timothy to deal with ...

@grok @quathamer @dalepartridge You are not doing exegesis. Repeating talking po

@grok @quathamer @dalepartridge Ah, I see. So as long as women instruct men during the other 167 hours during the week and be unofficial about it…like at Bible studies or any context outside of that 1 hour. That’s what God wants. Clearly you know not...

@grok @WalterKissus @dalepartridge I need to know @Grok, are you getting your response purely from the text alone and its context and grammar or are you integrating ideas from commentaries and things others have written from a complementarian and/or ...

@grok @WalterKissus @dalepartridge Again, all you are doing is copying and pasting from typical complementarian and patriarchal talking points. You are not dealing with the text itself in its context. Your arguments fail when taken without your compl...

@grok @WalterKissus @dalepartridge Sorry, @Grok, you are going to have to do better. Summarizing what commentaries say is not how we interpret the Bible. Stick to just the text, the grammar and the context or you will mess this one up every time. The...

@DanielleMc24097 @ThokGrararah @dalepartridge Since you are now trying to argue

@DanielleMc24097 @ThokGrararah @dalepartridge No it doesn’t Sherlock. The contex

@ThokGrararah @DanielleMc24097 @dalepartridge That’s correct. Paul’s context of 1Tim which is a personal letter to Timothy is that he wanted Timothy to remain in Ephesus to instruct certain people to stop teaching strange doctrines, not to stop anyon...

@UncutDomination @dalepartridge You might do well to learn in silence since you

@TheGermanicist Yes, of course scripture is true, including Jn 5:19. However, this verse does not mean that Jesus lacks power or ability apart from the Father. The Greek construction (“οὐ δύναται… ποιεῖν ἀφ’ ἑαυτοῦ”) expresses moral impossibility, no...

@LatterdayNosh “We call this event the First Vision because it was the first time God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, appeared to a person in modern times.” — Gospel Topics: First Vision. However, it would seem that LDS teachings today interpre...

@deafwatchman58 @smashbaals I don’t know if you usually read the KJV, but the English wording here is misleading. The phrase “obedient to their own husbands” in Titus 2:5 (KJV) translates the Greek ὑποτασσομένας τοῖς ἰδίοις ἀνδράσιν (hypotassomenas ...

@BishopJaxi @jimexploring Was jesting since anyone knows almost every opinion is

@rfl3tcher @Toneskeee If context is key, then how can you ignore that Paul was writing about false teachers? And Paul speaks about women (pl) in 2:9-10 and then uses the singular in 2:11-12. He doesn’t say “women are not to teach…men” but refers to ‘...

@Toneskeee @SuzanneLucy78 As for 1Ti 3:11-15, you have to read this passage in context. Paul wanted Timothy to remain in Ephesus to instruct certain people to stop teaching false doctrines, not to stop anyone from teaching anyone else the truth. That...

@Contains_NaCl @LaughingBrook @Toneskeee That is also being misinterpreted as obviously the Bible isn’t teaching that universally all women can be deceived and men can’t or even that all women are more easily deceived than men. Paul uses Adam and Ev...

@parabellum7711 @DoulosDean68 This issue is not a matter of heresy. Heresy has t

@LaughingBrook @Toneskeee Only if you read it completely out of context, miss that Paul was writing this in a personal letter to Timothy, miss his grammatical cues showing he was referring to a specific deceived wife teaching heresy and don’t know wh...

@MarkAnthonyNel4 @rightresponsem As for “right at the door,” It’s like saying, “You can hear the knock; the arrival is certain and close.” In Hebrew thought, “at the door” often marks a decisive point as in Gen 4:7 (“sin is crouching at the door”) or...

@ronhenzel @sola_chad The law of noncontradiction applies within a defined system of premises, but the real question is whether your theological system actually reflects what Scripture teaches. Claiming other interpretations are inconsistent simply ...

@REFINED_DIRT @sola_chad So you read Romans 3 and thought that there is no one who did good and didn’t wonder whether that idea would mean Paul was quoting Ps 14 out of context? Was your pastor or those you were listening to (aka the commentaries) n...

@ronhenzel @sola_chad So you can say with a completely straight face that there

This is faulty interpretation. Paul is quoting from the Corinthians: “Now concer

@JanZizkasburner @rightresponsem Well, Heb 11:32 settles the question: “And what more shall I say? For time will fail me if I tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets…” Barak is listed among those who “through f...

@BeRegener8ed @rightresponsem Strange, that’s not how the author to the Hebrews

@JohnRayKite @TheLaurenChen Finding an interpretation that makes sense of all the details in the context, the grammar and the rest of scripture is not looking for loopholes. I prefer the scripture over man’s infallible interpretation. If you want to...

@JohnRayKite @TheLaurenChen You are using a similar argument to what I am except I am combining the clear reading “I do not permit a woman to teach” with the context about stopping false teaching and drawing the only reasonable logical conclusion. I...

@JohnRayKite @TheLaurenChen As I already explained, Paul is describing a deceive

@notabreadliner @TheRealJamieKay @waltercool11 @TheLaurenChen That's the most misquoted and most abused out of context passage in the entire Bible. How about reading it in context? Paul's stated purpose is for Timothy to instruct certain people to st...

@MattTravisBlog @ronhenzel @ManofGod20253 So now you've expanded the discussion to what...the whole letter to the Romans? Um, ok. But I've got to get to sleep as I fly out of Korea early tomorrow. But again, your comment "They refuse to let Paul int...
