@TravLCox Well, there would be precedent:

2 Corinthians 11:13-14
“For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.”

@djneyoru I personally know hundreds of pro-lifers, and I don’t know a single one who would abort their unborn baby they knew would identify as LGBT+.

@MichelleDLesley I’m not saying I’m reading it right, I just never understood why modern Christians have assumed that 1 Cor 11 was a cultural thing that didnt apply anymore, but 1 Tim 2 wasn’t.

[Nathan Marth @NathanMarth]

@MichelleDLesley Yeah, I’m not pretending to know all context-wise about these passages, but basically, the way 1 Cor 11 reads to me, Paul seems to have stronger words about women needing to have head coverings than the way 1 Tim 2 reads to me about letting women teach or exercise authority. 🤷🏼‍♂️

@tophbrannen @tomascol So, following that line of reasoning, 1 Corinthians 7:27-31 got included in scripture, too. Do you feel that everybody staying single is a rule for faith and practice?

[Nathan Marth @NathanMarth]

@farmingandJesus Not wanting to argue, but how do you interpret Acts 8:12-17? Do you consider those who believed and were baptized under Philip’s ministry to have not been saved yet?

[Nathan Marth @NathanMarth]

@TruthCop1717 @Pastor_Gabe So judging Israel does not imply an authority role?

[Nathan Marth @NathanMarth]

@MichelleDLesley Is the argument here that Deborah did not “exercise authority” in Judges 4? (Cf. 1 Timothy 2:12)

[Nathan Marth @NathanMarth]

@brian_past61732 @alisa_childers Respectfully, none of this addresses my original question. I didn’t use the term “pastor” and neither did Paul in this passage. Did Deborah “exercise authority” over Israel?

[Nathan Marth @NathanMarth]

@TruthCop1717 @Pastor_Gabe So, was she in rebellion to God to judge Israel? (Judges 4:4-5) It’s worth noting we first hear of Barak only after Deborah “summoned” him. Judges 4:6 (NASB)

[Nathan Marth @NathanMarth]

@Chnge2Wrld @Pastor_Gabe So the argument is that she didn’t “exercise authority” in any of that? (So far, I haven’t said anything about “pastoring.”.)

[Nathan Marth @NathanMarth]

@Pastor_Gabe @JayHill53127 So, even if Deborah judging Israel was provisional, due to judgment on the people, does that make her authority illegitimate?

@megbasham Have you read into St. Augustine at all on Genesis 1?

[Nathan Marth @NathanMarth]

@emilykmay Top by state population or top by percentage of state population? The argument is that would-be purple states are turned bluer, but larger red states have enough conservative votes that the raw population ratio isn’t enough to flip the results.
