@Austingenius93@AdekunleFlamezz@BlessedGirl001 I appreciate your answer with the added context, however, I didn't ask if marital sex was sin. I asked if sex was sin but having it maritally makes it holy. I believe answering this question will help us understand our relationship with the Holy spirit.
That argument collapses under its own weight once you actually read the biblical text in context, in Greek, and across the whole narrative of Scripture rather than cherry-picking isolated verses to justify contempt for women. /1
But the leap from:
“roles may differ”
to:
“women should shut up because equality is satanic”
is not careful theology.
It’s anger looking for verses.
Selah
Jesus never behaved like women were intellectually or spiritually beneath men.
The Gospels simply do not present that version of Jesus.
You can argue: for complementarian marriage, male eldership,
distinct roles in church structure.
Christians have debated that for centuries. /30
10. The deepest irony in the entire rant
The people most harshly rebuked by Jesus were not women.
They were arrogant religious men.
Especially men who:
weaponized Scripture,
loved hierarchy,
crushed people spiritually,
obsessed over status and control.
9. “Jesus arrested Paul himself”
That’s not even biblically accurate language.
Paul encountered the risen Christ on the Damascus road.
In the conversion of Paul the Apostle, nothing there supports misogyny or women's inferiority. /28
Also, Paul writes into a specific Ephesian context full of false teaching problems.
You can argue for complementarianism from these texts. Many sincere Christians do.
But using them to say:
“women are inferior” or “be quiet woman”
goes way beyond the text. /27
Now semantically:
1 Timothy 2:12
The Greek verb: αὐθεντεῖν (authentein) is unusual and rare. It does NOT simply mean ordinary healthy leadership. It can carry meanings closer to: domineering, usurp, exercise abusive authority. /26
women hosted churches, women taught alongside men.
Examples:
Priscilla helped teach Apollos.
Phoebe is called a diakonos.
Junia is called "outstanding among the apostles" by many translators and early church readers. /25
8. "Women must be silent in church" Now we get to the hard passages. 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 and 1 Timothy 2:12. These are debated passages even among conservative scholars because Paul elsewhere allows women to pray and prophesy publicly (1 Cor 11:5), women served as deacons /24
Likewise, even complementarian theologians historically distinguished: role from human value.
The rant you posted erases that distinction entirely and slides into outright contempt.
That's the real problem. /23
Philippians 2:6
The Greek word used: μορφή θεού (morphe theou) means existing in the form/nature of God.
Orthodox Christianity has ALWAYS affirmed Christ's full equality in divinity with the Father.
Subordination in mission is not inferiority in being. /22
7. "There is no equality between Jesus, and the God the father" Christian theology distinguishes: equality of essence and distinction of role.
The Son is fully divine.
John 1:1
"The Word was God." /21
