1 | Is God so shortsighted? | 1 Tim 2:11 | EdB | 9537 | ||
Tim, we must read this passage in context, the context being "conduct in public worship". In that light Paul is not giving instructions on women in ministry but women in public worship. Paul never shut them out of ministry nor did he shut them out of public worship. He just said that women should not be teaching doctrine in public worship. Should we base our doctrine on this one passage? No. However if we read all through Paul’s teachings he referenced and addressed men in the position of church leadership not women. No one can deny that is the slant of his writing. In giving the qualifications of a Bishop, elder or deacons Paul again infers it being a man. It is true Paul never said it can’t be a woman, but I think it reasonable to say Paul writings definitely never intended a woman to be a Pastor. Can God use a woman in as Pastor? Absolutely God can do whatever He wants (this kid is not going to attempt to put God in any box). However before a woman does make that step she has to weigh her perceived call against the Bible’s teaching on this subject and what she has in her spirit. I do not think she should make her decision discounting any passage (like this that give direction) because someone said it was written for a particular situation and does not pertain to today. |

2 | Is God so shortsighted? | 1 Tim 2:11 | Morant61 | 9543 | ||
Greetings EdB! Like I said in my previous post, there are just som many unanswered questions about this verse that I'm not sure exactly how to take it. I really haven't seen any interpretation of it that answers all my questions. I'm going to be off of work at the beginning of the week, so I'm hoping to have time to do a little more research on the question. I'll try to get back to you on it! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
