1 | Evidence that women's role has changed? | Matt 28:10 | srbaegon | 39972 | ||
Hello erika, I have read through the responses you have received thus far. Mine will differ. While Scripture is written within a cultural perspective, the truths stated reach beyond that culture. Since the question is from 1 Corinthians, let's look at it. 1) To whom is the book written? 1 Cor. 1:2 (ESV) To the church of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints together with all those who in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ... There is a purposeful universality to the book by appealing to all who call on Christ. What he had was not just for the church in Corinth. 2) 1 Cor 11 speaks of women's roles. What is the intent there? 1 Cor. 11:3 (ESV) But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God. 1 Cor 11:3 (NASB) But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ. Was there any apostolic teaching to change this? If not, there must definitive roles for men and women. 3) Is there a past practice to consider? 1 Cor. 14:34 (ESV) The women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says. Paul appeals to the past practice of the Law, not the practice of the culture. 4) What is the authority of Paul's writing in 1 Cor 14? 1 Cor. 14:37-38 (ESV) If anyone thinks that he is a prophet, or spiritual, he should acknowledge that the things I am writing to you are a command of the Lord. [38] If anyone does not recognize this, he is not recognized. It's the Lord's command. That should be enough. 5) General question: Why is it only women's roles are under this scrutiny? There is more Scripture on this subject than on baptism, but I don't hear anyone questioning that. Feel free to disagree. Most do. Steve |

I'm not held back by your legalistic thoughts or critical thoughts, my statement stands, and my statements do not contradict scripture. I refuse to be put down by people who do not understand what I speak is Holy. |

I am not being legalistic or critical, unless it is not Biblical. Just be careful. | ||||||
