I consider myself a soft complimentarian, who has so much respect for egalitarian work. I have been searching for a way to understand the usual passages: 1st Corinthians 14 and 1st Timothy 2/3 - ones I can't read past. But you are absolutely correct that in this space, women can be overlooked to the point they are not loved, not seen as fellow heirs, and certainly not respected or listened too. Thank you for this exhortation.
I’m glad it resonated, Alexander. I have an article coming soon on 1 Timothy 2:11-15. There’s a way of reading it that makes the whole thing very coherent - including the strange part about women saved through childbirth!
i love the space u made for community disagreement. “yes u may be right and i may be wrong” and vice versa. but also, we are brothers under one messiah. u didn’t try to make specific claims about hermeneutics as much as u called out to the *body,* both of christ and as individuals. bc one cant go without the other, and i thats what i could feel u speaking to. not just my brain, but my heart. idk exactly how we’re defining complementarianism versus egalitarianism, and as a progressive christian, i fall much further to the latter, but i was able to maintain connection with the other side thru ur writing ❤️ thank u

Thank you for this 🙏
wonderful
And I think this article also deserves a hearty, "Amen!"
I’m grateful for you, my friend. Thanks for pushing me.
Thanks Alli! I’m also curious where Sprinkle will land in that one. Thanks for your kind words!
