Why Let Women Lead Bible Studies

CBMW (Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood) has set itself up as a go-to organization for those complementarians who have not been able to figure out from the Bible which things are allowable for women and which things are not. But does their counsel exceed the Bible

Semigalitariansim And Feminist Air

When does explaining God’s Word make one an enemy of the church. According to Mike Seaver, a woman who is allowed to teach the Word of God to men, even if she is under the authority of her husband and even if she has received authority from her pastor to teach the Bible (and assuming her pastor is m

Was 1 Timothy 2 Written To The Church

Complementarians claim that 1 Timothy 2:12 is universally applicable because they say it was written for the church to know how to behave. According to John MacArthur, in God’s High Calling for Women part 1 , 1 Timothy was written to “set the church in order”

Semi Egalitarians

USA Today has an editorial written by David P Gushee in which Mr. Gushee challenges complementarians that they are actually semi-egalitarians and they should be willing to openly acknowledge this

Ministry Produces Fear

Women Ministry Sins

While there has been some genuine, respectful dialog between complementarian and egalitarian scholars, more often than not, the emotions that are brought into the dialog have brought less than respectful debate. The body of Christ is meant to fight the enemy together but when some turn their weapons

Women Teaching Mens Prejudice And Gods Glory

Many complementarians have been so used to hearing what women are not allowed to do in the body of Christ rather than what scripture says women should do as followers of Christ, that the focus has become automatically set to see restrictions when the subject of women in ministry is discussed. With t

Debating Women In Ministry Round 2

On Wednesday September 26, 2007 I will be having round number 2 with Matt Slick on the issue of women in ministry. We will be dealing with 1 Timothy 2 and the issues of whether “a woman” is a specific woman in Ephesus or whether Paul is prohibiting all Christian women from teaching men (or some vari

Are Gods Gifts Segregated

Should Cbmw Fight Egalitarians

This week CBMW (the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood) released two audio tapes from the February 2007 “Different by Design” Conference held in Minneapolis Minnesota.

Slavery Still An Issue Today So Says The Wilderness Crier

I came across an excellent post written very tongue-in-cheek about the issue of slavery using all of the standard arguments against women teaching the bible to men. It is worth the read and the link is here

@smashbaals Smash needs to re-read 1Tim 2:12 in context. Paul wasn’t stopping anyone from teaching the truth. 1Ti 2:12 isn’t a universal ban on women teaching. Paul addresses a specific wife who was deceived and teaching error, and her husband who r...

@rofbethany @BrandonGra53760 There is no command that only men rule. Women teaching truth to others including men is not listed in any list of sins. I’m afraid you are mistaken.

@XianPatriot @Darrin_Caudill @smashbaals @danielsilliman Did Paul suddenly forget how to use the plural for all women if he meant it? If it was an established law of God, why did he say “I do not permit”? Why is this law not repeated elsewhere? Why d...

@cjohnsonn0311 @slow_down_Jess @_AndrewHale Not it isn’t. S3xual sin is clearly indicated as sin. Godly women teaching men the truth is nowhere stated to be sin.
