Mike writes: “I think a man should equally not place himself under the authority of a woman’s teaching. I would agree that this would be equally going against Scripture.” To accommodate the varying...

Welcome Ramona, You said > however, when the instructions for the Garden were given, she was not yet created The very first time that the instructions were given what they could eat is found in Gen...

Tarun, Again, welcome and thanks for posting. > You said: I was not trying to imply that the Husband “is” the Saviour/Lord and God of his wife.That is a role that only Christ can fulfill. However ev...

Ramon, Your interpretation would exclude widowed men from being church leaders. On the contrary, Paul says that being single enables some believers to serve God better (1 Corinthians 7:32-35). “I co...

@Ramon The only time that the word “man” is used in 1 Timothy 3:1-7 and Titus 1:6-9 is in the phrase “a one woman man”. This is often translated into English as “the husband of one wife”. While this ...

@Mark Here is EVERY instance where Paul uses the word diakonos (sg) or diakonoi (pl) in all the grammatical cases that are used in his New Testament letters: Romans 13:4 twice (civil ministers/lead...

@Kristen 86 Thank you so much for your excellent link regarding “a one woman man” typically translated as “the husband of one wife”! I love it! Here is an excerpt: “Two of the most prominent comp...

Hi Mark, You said “The shift to ‘gyne’ in verse 11 is obvious that the previous discussion therefore has not been applied to them. This is simple logic!” I asked a related question a few weeks a...

Mark said: “I am still interested to know why you think ’one woman man’ is generic (and thus includes female overseers) and yet why Paul needs to single out ’gyne’ in verse 11 since in your own admi...

@ Mark “As I understand [1 Tim 2:8-15](logos4:///Bible/1Ti 2.8-15), the teaching restricted is that linked with authority in the public congregational setting. That is, the preaching from the pulpit s...

@ Mark 119 I do not think that the apostle Paul, or anyone, should be above learning or being helped by another person. So I don’t have a problem with Paul’s comment that Phoebe had been a patroness...

Mark @ 129 “Now considering ‘teach’ must be positive to be consistent with the rest of the NT, authentein must also be. This is the only possible syntactical possibility.” I am genuinely aghast that ...

Dave, “Now, in regards to the use of the word “teach” and “authentein”, how can it be positive in this context? Paul is saying he does not permit it. Nowhere has Paul suggested that it is ok for anyo...

Mark @138 You quoted Kostenberger as saying: “. . . for 1 Tim 2:12 is . . . there are only two acceptable ways of rendering that passage: (1) “I do not permit a woman to teach (error) or to domineer ...

Ron, All of Eve’s children have the sin nature except for Jesus because all of Eve’s offspring (except again for Jesus) have a human father. Eve did not deliberately sin but scripture says she â€...

jbs, This is not a justification of sin at all. It is allowing God to judge the heart motivation along with the action. A heart motive of rebellion is called sinning with a “high hand”.  There were...

Good day Kerryn (that’s Canadian for gidday!) Great questions. You said: > The verses you use to make your point regarding Adam being a ‘man’ use the word anthropos, ([Romans 5:12,19](logos4:/...

Thank you Rusty for your comments! Two things I would like to comment back on. In 1 Cor. 11:3 although the NASB says the man is the head of the woman, the understanding in commentaries is always that ...

Why have you set things up on this blog so that biblical references are automatically linked to the website of ESV, a version which (as documented at [the Better Bibles Blog](http://englishbibles.blog...

Well, I didn’t say I could understand the Bergen book, only that I have it! But I have worked on a translation of the Hebrew Bible, as well as the Greek NT, and so I do know a little Hebrew. I now un...
