We enjoy our freedoms and a safer country thanks to the service and sacrifice of our fallen heroes and their loved ones. Never forget—on this Memorial Day or any other. 🇺🇸

@TPostMillennial Gaaaaaah. Noah prob never spent one night in a holiday inn express either.

Noah Wyle: "Cancer isn't partisan, heart disease isn't partisan, so healthcare policy shouldn't be partisan either."

@thehill Completely false

@TPostMillennial Wait we were told Dart would reap the whirlwind and be reprimanded. 😂 (Hashtag jersey sales)

@dhpn495910 @MBurtwrites @RevKimWChafee I venture there is more data on the inner workings of the early church outside of scripture than within it. Many scenarios are likely present across the early centuries. Fascinating to think how we evolved into formulaic bodies of worship following the same weekly template.

@MBurtwrites @RevKimWChafee @PowersLee30 Junia is known among the apostles, not known AS an apostle. And Titus did not appoint female elders. You stretch and flex the Word of God to fit your sensibilities. God made men and women for different things, its wisdom to embrace that.

How does this not make people at least begin to question if this is all based on man-made rules? At some point this just reads like fear of women.

@dhpn495910 @MBurtwrites @RevKimWChafee And remember this all in response to making sure a woman can’t speak on a church podcast. HOW UTTERLY SILLY that it’s even a thing.

@dhpn495910 @MBurtwrites @RevKimWChafee I think most of the flexing is happening on the patriarchal side. Such determination to limit women exercising their spiritual gifting.

@Fulfilled70 @dhpn495910 @MBurtwrites I’d actually love for the Apostle Paul to be able to visit several 2026 churches. Pretty sure he’d be astonished and not impressed by those who have made an idol out of how women can and cannot serve.

@dhpn495910 @PowersLee30 @MBurtwrites Yes and we are a new creation in Christ, ALL things have passed away including the first, second order. It's covenantal, but you don't understand that so you are pointing back to something that no longer exists.

@bryan_johnson @_katetolo This image disturbs me.

Examining Kate’s 1% She has suspected endometriosis. This affects at least 1 in 10 women, likely more. Here she’s getting an ultrasound. Historically you needed surgery just to diagnose it (incisions are made in the abdomen). We're doing a non-invasive route. Typically women live with endometriosis for 7-10 years before being diagnosed. It’s the leading reason women aged 30 to 34 get hysterectomies (permanent surgery to entirely remove the uterus). This condition is where endometrial-like tissue starts growing outside the uterus, in ovaries, bowel, bladder, even the diaphragm. This tissue inflames, scars, and glues organs together. Our first step is to find out if @_katetolo has it. Initial measurements we’re doing: + trans vaginal ultrasound + pelvic MRI w and w/o contrast + hormonal labs All during the early part of her cycle to get the clearest picture. During her ultrasound, a slim probe, about the width of two fingers, 10-12 inches long (although only a small portion is inserted) is covered with a protective sheath and lubricant and gently inserted into the vagina (patient has to empty their bladder first). This creates real-time images of the uterus, ovaries, and surrounding pelvic structures. While inserted, the probe is turned 90 degrees to evaluate all the various structures, angles and views. There is no radiation exposure. The technician is looking for scarring, ovarian cysts, adhesions, and for organs that are fused together with tissue. This ultrasound can confirm endometriosis but it cannot rule it out. What endo does to the body: + 90% report pelvic pain + 50% report severe fatigue + 26% report infertility. However many sources cite 30 to 50 percent. + 50% experience pain during sex. + Many have pain with ovulation, bowel movements, and urination + Severe bloating called “endo belly” where the abdomen visibly distends There are a handful of theories about why endometriosis develops but the honest answer is no one is quite sure. We’ll keep you posted on her results.

@hrkahrig Not “commands.” Polity as prescribed by Paul to one church. Where it has evolved over 2,000 years is totally manmade and man-centric. None of this is even salvation essential. It’s such a ridiculous hill to die on.

No one is scared of women. We are scared of God who told women to learn in silence and submissiveness. We believe those commands mean something.

@GarySweeten2 🎯

Brother Alneeds to be in a house church near a college for a few years to experience a first century church meeting. Operating in modern buildings, pews, microphones, and educated professors has distorted what a real church was 2000 years ago.

@dhpn495910 @MBurtwrites So what? Your go to I Timothy passage says “hold authority over men.” Would Paul say Deborah shouldn’t have led in battle? This gets down to word play and interpretation. If Deborah or Phoebe or any women of faith today are not allowed on a silly podcast, where do the rules end?

@PowersLee30 @MBurtwrites None of those are pastors.

@Hyperbaly @nypost Then EVERYONE should shut up about their politics. Not just Trump supporters. It’s absolutely ridiculous that people can’t live their lives and think what they want and support who they want. What a culture of babies.

@dhpn495910 @MBurtwrites I can’t get from a letter to Ephesus to Gods universal design when there are also examples of women who led armies and ran businesses and and spread the gospel and were deacons. That’s why.

@PowersLee30 @MBurtwrites Right. Why is he telling that church that? How do you know that he is not telling them that because that is the universal design in the church?

@dhpn495910 @MBurtwrites Already said my opinion on context. He’s telling “that” church that “he” would not permit….he’s not even giving THEM a direct command, much less us. I frankly can’t see how anyone thinks it is.

@PowersLee30 @MBurtwrites What context makes you sure 1 Tim 2:12-13 does not apply to us?

@dhpn495910 @MBurtwrites I believe everything ever written is contextual. Every author has a motivation for what they write that may or may not be spelled out in the text. Culture & history play a part also. And though I believe scripture is the inspired word of God, I’m not so sure our translations are.

@PowersLee30 @MBurtwrites I never said it was salvation essential. Are all of the Epistles entirely contextual? Should we never read or apply them?

@dhpn495910 @MBurtwrites * Paul is writing to one church who needed that word. * He says “I do not permit women to teach,” not “you must not permit.” That’s the proof. There is room for different interpretations. And NONE of this is salvation essential.

@PowersLee30 @MBurtwrites The burden of proof is on you for arguing why it does not apply to us. You can't just say "maybe it was contextually just for them." Context is important, but the context Paul gives in that verse is creation order, not local Ephesian issues.

Please please don’t back down. Release every word.

@dhpn495910 @MBurtwrites More importantly, I really doubt we’re going to sit at the feet of Jesus in eternity and talk about this issue at all.

@PowersLee30 @MBurtwrites What is the context and why does Paul mention creation order rather than the context?
