There’s a bit of fun “exegesis” happening on Twitter. What is exegesis?
It started when my East Coast gal pal blogger, Dee, posted a link to an article on John Piper:
John Piper is speaking *ex cathedra* here because nothing in the Bible that proves his point. He does not want women to be police officers so bear that n mind. "John Piper Says 'Gender Roles' Apply Beyond Marriage: 'It's Relevant for All Our Relationships" https://t.co/pa17tMl0MP
Oh my (chuckling)
Part of that answer’s clearly going to depend on what kind of gesis we’re dealing with here . . . .
If this gesis, for example, is calling her to engage in abusive acts willingly – group sex, or something really weird, bizarre, harmful, that clearly would be sin. Then the way she submits – and I really think this is possible, it’s kind of paradoxical. She’s not going to go there. I’m saying no, she’s not going to do what Jesus would disapprove, even though the gesis is asking her to do it.
These are brilliant and I wish I’d been clever enough to add to them.
