Accidentally matching this morning with the oldest and fearless sibling @abbeycappa. Heading back to Nashville. Such a fun week in Carpentaria with the fam. @ Carpinteria, California https://t.co/bXW4kL9CUP
As I passed "Cleopatra's Needle" in Central Park yesterday, I remembered that it was made in Heliopolis, Egypt fifteen centuries before the birth of Christ. The young prince Moses almost certainly knew of it. God is the God of history, and plays the long game. Rejoice.
May this bring us all relief, cause fear and trembling, provoke courage, and batten us down to the sturdy deck of Christ’s ship no matter what storm any of us may be weathering. (2/2)
We are only allowed to wage warfare with one weapon and instrument. The Sword of the Spirit, the Word of God. Every other piece of that great heavenly armor is meant to protect, guard, and perhaps even restrain our vulnerabilities and fleshly inclinations… (1/2)
When the prophet Samuel spoke, not one word fell to the ground. The preacher’s prayer is not that his words are enjoyed but that they find their mark. That prayer answered, some may be blessed and some infuriated but none are left untouched.
It’s official. I’m running for the United States Senate. Watch my announcement video and click here to help our campaign! >> https://t.co/k0guHubVAG
The Gospel isn’t something we just believe, it’s something we behave. The world is sick to death of paperback theology. It wants to see the Church of the Living God on the march, and it’s time we were roused.
@DavidDzimianski @GregoryGay17 And his conclusion is black and white: Women ought to have a covering which is a symbol of authority over her head, which communicates as it did then, that her head is man and mans head is God. Read the whole passage, brother. You’re twisting scripture for the sake of your claim.
@DavidDzimianski @GregoryGay17 If you read it literally (that verse alone and not contextually) then sure. If you read it in the context of verses 7-9 (the Reason, expansion, contrast, and finally reason of Paul’s argument) then you would see verse 10 is the effect of what Paul has argued.
@DavidDzimianski @GregoryGay17 Based off whatever Greek manuscript you are referencing, is your conclusion then that “her own authority” is referring to herself, God, or her husband as that covering and authority?
@DavidDzimianski @GregoryGay17 In fact, male headship is upheld, endorsed, and praised with the agreement that man and women ought to submit to one another in the Fear of the Lord.
@DavidDzimianski @GregoryGay17 It’s more accurate to put emphasis on what Paul is actually getting at— coverings, which he defines as “a symbol of authority on her head” (1 Cor. 11:10). Paul says it is right according to nature as well as the creation account. Male headship then is not under attack.
