@Osirisassad Yessss. Not someone who only uses Gods word to spread hate. Someone who never opens the Bible but claims they know more than you. Someone who actually pursues a relationship with God and doesn’t weaponize his words to prove you wrong

[OSIRIS ASSAD @Osirisassad]

Marry someone who will worship God with you and pray.

[justisforall @IwillJAByou]

@imisyoou Where is God in that equation?

You can tell who reads Scripture to get to know the character of Christ and who reads it to win arguments.

Because the moment you use the Bible to tell a woman to go make a sandwich you’ve already revealed which one you are.

The verse:

“Let a woman learn in silence with all submissiveness. I permit no woman to teach or to have authority over men; she is to keep silent.” 1 Timothy 2:11-12

And the application according to a man made in a public theological debate, after losing the argument was: stick to making dinner for your husband.

Let’s ask the only question that matters.

Did Christ ever do that? Once? Anywhere?

The woman at the well had five husbands and a complicated history. Jesus sat down, engaged her theology seriously, and revealed He was the Messiah to her first. Not to Peter. Not to the disciples. To her. Then He let her go tell an entire city. John 4.

Mary sat at His feet in the posture of a disciple while Martha asked Jesus to send her back to the kitchen. He refused. He said she chose the better thing and it would not be taken from her. Luke 10.

Mary Magdalene was the first person to see the risen Christ. He didn’t appear to Peter. He didn’t appear to the eleven. He appeared to her and He said go tell them. John 20.

The bent-over woman He healed on the Sabbath over religious objection. He dignified her publicly in front of the men trying to shut Him down. Luke 13.

He engaged women’s theological questions seriously. Publicly. Deliberately. Jesus did it constantly and never apologized once.

Not once did Jesus use Scripture to silence a woman.

Not once did He redirect a woman’s theological engagement back to her domestic duties.

Not once in all of Scripture.

So why does 1 Timothy 2 exist.

Because context is everything.

Paul is writing to a church in Ephesus and the home of the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world.

The entire city’s religious culture was built around a female deity with female-dominated priesthood.
New converts were dragging those frameworks straight into the church.

The heresy being spread there was that Eve was the enlightened one. The serpent was the hero.

This is why Paul addresses Eve directly in verses 13-14. He’s not making a universal claim about female nature. He’s refuting a live heresy corrupting a specific congregation in a specific city.

This was a situational correction. Not a timeless universal command.
Because the same Paul called Phoebe a deacon. Named Junia a prominent apostle. Praised Priscilla for correcting a man’s theology and wrote Galatians 3:28.

The character of Christ is the lens everything runs through. Every verse. Every doctrine. Every application.

And the Christ of Scripture knelt in the dirt to protect a woman. Chose a woman to announce His resurrection. Refused to send a woman back to the kitchen.

So when someone uses His word to tell a woman to go make dinner, they are not representing His character.

They are using His character to do something He himself would never do.

@xCountessX7 Girl how do you know they didn’t talk about this? He changed her for the better and apparently that’s not allowed here.

[justisforall @IwillJAByou]

I don’t think that means he justified judging other women who didn’t follow this thought process. He never said “don’t date a woman who has already had sex”

It’s called advice for a reason. Some times women learn the hard way that saving yourself for marriage is the best option. People are allowed to change for the better.
