1 | women preachers not pastors? | 1 Tim 2:12 | justme | 161045 | ||
Devon: The verse you refer to does not ask or answer the question you pose. However, few would argue that some "women" have been gifted with the ability to teach, and yes even preach. But, we tend to cover over this by saying in front of women only. Well friend many a man has listened and been blessed from these women teacher/preachers by listening totapes or CD's made when they spoke. I have heard many women on Dr. James Dobson's radio programs. Some women have been better than some of the men guest speakers. I think Scripture was written at a time when the majority of women were considered low, and even personal property, which we do not consider this now. I do not think the position of Pastor is a position for a woman, but not because they could'nt do the job, but rather is it really the call of God? But any other position is open for women, and they deserve recognitation and ordination. I hope this presents a wider scope of understanding for you. justme |

2 | justme, Does time change the Bible? | 1 Tim 2:12 | Searcher56 | 161065 | ||
While Scripture was written at a time when the majority of women were considered low, and even personal property, which we do not consider this now. Does this change what the Bible says about the role of women in the church? I recently reposted an old post (127994) on this subject? | ||||||

The women were "out of control" in the church at the time of this writing, were they not? I do not believe it had anything to do with the way women, in general, were considered. I believe it was because, in particlar, the women in the church were "carrying on" so to speak. Am I wrong? | ||||||

Dear Joy, The principles of Scripture are transcultural. To let cultural considerations dictate interpretation is a slippery slope! The Scriptures exist for believers in all time, which is the work of the Holy Spirit. Furthermore, if women were "carrying on" back then, I doubt we've grown out of the problem. Men certainly fail to lead the way they are called to do. In Him, Doc |
