From Bobbed Hair Bossy Wives And Women Preachers To Woman Be Free

I am very pleased that Stan Gundry has given me permission to post his story about how he changed his view from a staunch complementarian to an egalitarian. I would also request that if you have a story about your own journey from prejudice to freedom in Christ regarding women in ministry that you e

@MarqueStuddock @smashbaals If the levite males led simply because they slaughtered the idolators, then what about Jael who drove a tent peg through Sisera’s head? I’ll read your article and respond separately but you still haven’t shown me where in...

@zie95776 @BahBahBased @MikeWingerii It is from God so that you would see that being a woman in authority is not a sin. What Deborah said applied to Jael who put a tent peg through Sisera’s temple, n

@TentSpike @jsrrayburn @deadtosin610 @TentSpike decided to take a spike to my temple (aka blocked me) for asking questions. I guess she is allowed to take authority over me like that. Bye bye Jael…😔

Barak's refusal to go without Deborah and his rebuke — 'the Lord will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman.'

The Barak-Deborah exchange in Judges 4:8-10

Judges 4:8-10 Deborah Barak Sisera
Mike Winger idea 2022-03-28

The question: is Barak being rebuked for not stepping up as a man? Is God reminding us even with a female judge that a man should have been leading?

Interpretive question about the Barak passage

Judges 5 Barak Jael Judges 5
Mike Winger idea 2022-03-28

The biblical context shows glory/credit goes to Jael (not God instead of Barak) — Barak gets one verse while Jael gets a whole section in Judges 5.

Proving the shame element is about Barak vs. Jael, not Barak vs. God

Judges 5:12 Judges 5:6 Judges 5:24-27 Barak Jael Judges 5:12
Mike Winger idea 2022-03-28

In their culture it was embarrassing that a woman beat Sisera — glory to Jael, shame to Barak — but this is not God's commentary against women leaders.

Interpreting the shame in the Barak-Jael narrative

Mike presents a detailed analysis of Deborah as judge.

Judges 2:16 Judges 2:18 Judges 4-5 Deborah Barak Judges 2:16
