Anybody watch the debate between DT and Biden? Did it change your mind? Were you surprise by either man? Who won? Will it make an impact on the election? peace to you

First, it is not MY prohibition against women in leadership roles over men in the church, it is Paul’s and it is based on scripture. Second, you are confusing a woman doing secular work (tent making) with leadership in the church. If you had read my other posts in this thread, you would have...

Ok, could be, I guess. If you look at other passages with multiple births (Jacob and Esau) it clearly states they were twins. Interesting thought, thanks for sharing peace to you

Wasn’t “Be fruitful and multiply” the first commandment? I get the point though. Take your shoes off when you come in the house. peace to you

“Evil” in this context most likely refers to “bad things happening”, such as drought, floods, locust swarms, crop failures etc I don’t think it means God causes mankind to do evil deeds. peace to you

Again, for about the 5th time, Paul’s REASONS for the prohibition are based on scripture, specifically that Adam was formed first and Eve was deceived. The reason is not based on cultural attitudes toward women. Paul never argues women are not capable, or not intelligent enough, or not good...

I have asked you to address the passage in 1 Timothy concerning Paul’s reason to exclude women from leadership positions over men. Paul’s reasons are based on scripture, not culture, which you are advocating. This fact directly addresses the point you are making in the 2nd paragraph, but you...

Once again, instead of addressing Paul’s reasons for the prohibition against female leadership in the church given in 1 Timothy, which are biblical not cultural, you use your post to claim victimhood because the ramifications of your beliefs are exposed. …go figure…. peace to you

Will you address Paul’s reason for the prohibition against women teaching or having authority over men? He states it very clearly in the context. The rest of what you posted is useful information and doesn’t change the prohibition given by Paul against female leadership within the church. I...

Got it! You believe there is absolutely no difference between male and female. Both groups have the same DNA. Both groups have the same biology. Both groups can birth babies. Both groups have the same level of upper body strength. Right! The LtGBQ+ community totally agrees with you. That’s why...

I see you are running away from what the passage of 1Timothy says and instead of attempting to understand the prohibition according to Paul’s reasoning (based on scripture), you are substituting a secular understanding that dismisses the prohibition as “cultural” and then you attempt to use...

I see your point. It seems likely Ham witnessed something Canaan was doing with Noah or his wife, and told his brothers. The reference to the “youngest son” certainly refers to Canaan, since he was cursed. It may simply mean the youngest of Noah’s descendants. Interesting. Thanks for sharing...

What scriptural evidence is there they were triplets? peace to you

Why not just follow Paul’s explanation in 1 Timothy? Paul lays a biblical foundation for the restriction, not a cultural foundation. Now, when Paul states it is shameful for a woman to cut her hair (I Corinthians?) you could make an argument for cultural restrictions, but not 1 Timothy. FTR...

You believe it is a cultural construct because you don’t understand scripture. Paul gives a biblical explanation for his statement. Adam was formed first, Eve second… Eve was deceived. That is a biblical foundation. This admonition against female leadership in the church comes from God, not...

It is not a cultural construct since Paul lays a biblical foundation for this teaching.. in the creation of Adam and Eve. It only applies to leadership in the church. It goes beyond the biblical record to claim the admonition applies outside of the church Women owned their own businesses...

I am. No, the convention is not a church No, the leader is not considered to be a pastor/elder in the convention. No, eldership is not required. Historically, all have been men and all (perhaps) have been former pastors. Paul’s instructions in 1 Timothy are to the local church and nothing...

Again, you are unable (unwilling?) to accurately quote the passage. It does not say “set apart in Christ” it says sanctified (set apart) by the Spirit. You are literally reading your theology into the passage and changing the words to support your view. And you claim any other view to be...

With a little luck, all the energy producers in NY will declare bankruptcy, shut their doors and cease production of energy. Then the state legislature can provide electricity with their “good intentions”. peace to you

You misrepresented what 2 Thessalonians 2:13 says by leaving out “chosen for salvation through sanctification of the Spirit” and replacing this truth with “chosen for salvation through belief…” You are unable to reconcile what the passage says with your beliefs, so you change it to fit your...
