The second edition of my book, A Biblical Case for Women Pastors, Elders, and Deacons, is now on sale.

     

After discovering a textual variant in early Greek manuscripts, which were supported by early Greek scripture quotations from the early church fathers, I realized this variant reading provides the important context which reverses how many are currently understanding Paul's apparent prohibition of women teaching in the pastoral epistles. The discovery of this variant completely changed my thinking and prompted a thorough study of the topic.

Setting cultural arguments aside and relying solely on the text of Scripture, this book answers the critical question: Do these passages prevent women from being pastors, elders, and/or deacons? After an in-depth study, I have concluded that there is zero biblical evidence based on the original text of Scripture to support prohibiting women from holding leadership positions of pastor, elder, or deacon in the church.

Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms.

- 1 Peter 4:10 (NIV)

I had a conversation with someone who didn't believe in the Trinity. Part of his argument was that God was a spirit, based on John 4:24. I looked at the Greek of the passage and replied that I thought the verse was possibly mistranslated. I suggested a better translation could be "The Spirit is God." Read more...

It always surprises me how many Christian's believe narratives in the Bible must always be strictly chronological. One pastor I knew thought Eve was created after the seventh day. Read more...

I was recently reminded of how much the Latin Vulgate influenced the King James Version. The topic of the sermon was giving to the poor, and after reading the Greek of 1 Corinthians 13:3, I realized the equivalent of "to feed the poor" was missing. Read more...
