1 | New Testament guidlines | 1 Tim 2:12 | Morant61 | 4470 | ||
May I throw out a question for debate? Should 1 Tim. 2:12 be taken as a commandment from God which is in force at all times and all cultures? Or, should 1 Tim. 2:12 be taken as Paul's practice in the time in which he lived? The reason I ask is the text specifically says, "I do not allow....." Is Paul giving us a universal principle or a cultural one? Are there any other passages that specifically say that God does not allow a woman to teach or preach? As you can probably tell from my question, I lean toward 1 Tim. 2:12 being a cultural principle. However, I am willing to keep an open mind! Tim Moran |

It is clear that Paul expected Timothy to follow his practice. By what authority then? If by the authory of Christ, how, then, can other church leaders ignore Paul's example. Was Paul following Christ, or doing his own thing? My answer to these questions lead me to believe that it is not cultural, and look at Paul's reasons in the context of that verse. That definitely makes it universal, doesn't it? |
