2 | Whats a womens place in the Church? | 1 Tim 2:12 | Preachingirl | 487 | ||
My answer would be this A woman should not be anything that God has not called her to be. If He calls her to be an Elder, then let he be an Elder. If He calls her to be a mother, then let her be a mother, a teacher or whatever He chooses. If He calls her to be both and her life provvides fruit worthy of that calling, let her minister. After all He knows the interpretation of Scripture and the heart of every man or woman better than we all do. | ||||||

4 | Calling, contrary to scripture? | 1 Tim 2:12 | kalos | 901 | ||
"Women are not to assume the office of teacher in the church (see 1 Cor 14:34). Women may teach as long as they do not usurp the place of leadership and authority of men in the church. The injunction is based on the relationship of man and woman in the original creation (Gen. 2:18; 3:6)." (Ryrie Study Bible, 1976, 1978) | ||||||
5 | Calling, contrary to scripture? | 1 Tim 2:12 | djconklin | 27890 | ||
"The injunction is based on the relationship of man and woman in the original creation (Gen. 2:18; 3:6)." 1) God made woman from the rib of a man, not the head that she should lord over him nor from the foot that she should be trodden on. 2) The same word that is used for woman ("helpmeet") is also used of God. One of the keys to proper interpretation of the Bible is to consider the whole and not just selected snippets. For example, the traditionalists will typically point to Gen 2:18 and 3:16 and yet completely ignore Gal. 3:28. |
