1 | Biblical - women preachers/teachers??? | 1 Tim 2:12 | EdB | 123616 | ||
Tim Thanks for your input I was trying to learn if something in Greek suggested an involvement level. I agree the “they” implies they worked together, but unless there is something that implies something different, as a helpmate Priscilla's function could have been anything from very minimal to very active. As for Pricilla being mentioned first when I was taught English I was told to always state the feminine before the masculine. For instance if I was talking about your wife and you. I would state “Tim’s wife and Tim did thus and such.” I have always assumed that was language etiquette. So when I saw Pricilla mentioned first I once again assumed it was nothing more than what I was taught. I will have to ponder that somemore. You may be very right Pricilla may have been the more dominate than Aquilla in their ministry together. However since scripture is silent on this to place her in a such a position is speculation is it not? Again I know many preachers use this verse as proof of the validity of women teaching men in spiritual things today and I guess I question their motive. Is it conviction or something else. EdB |

2 | Biblical - women preachers/teachers??? | 1 Tim 2:12 | Morant61 | 123620 | ||
Greetings EdB! I'm not aware of any rule in Greek that mandates mentioning the female first. The only 'rule' seems to be that the more prominent person is mentioned first. For instance, early in Paul's ministry, Barnabas is always mentioned first, but later Paul is mentioned first as he takes more prominence. As far as the 'they' is concerned, 'they' is actually part of the verb 'explained' so she had to have been actively involved in the explaning. If you would like to do more reading on this side of the issue, I would highly recommend Walter Kaiser, Jr.'s book on Paul's difficult passages. While I understand that there is a long history for the traditional view, I also understand that cultural bias can also be a factor for it just as much as PC can be a factor in the newer view! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Greetings EdB! No problem my friend! There is a whole series of books on difficult sayings in the Old Testament, of Paul, and of Jesus. While I don't always agree with the proposed solutions, they usually are well thought out. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
