1 | Can women teach in the church | 1 Tim 2:12 | Finder | 221729 | ||
Hello, I have seen women working as pastors and conference speakers. Joyce Meyer, who has a ministry which covers two thirds of the world is one of them. Actually, I think she is excellent. But now I don't know how to understand the situation. For me, the only explanation is that God has blessed her. But how can I understand 1 Timothy 2:12? Thank you, Finder |

2 | Can women teach in the church | 1 Tim 2:12 | Beja | 221730 | ||
Finder, Just as a general hermeneutic, you need to change your order. Read scripture, then look at what is happening through the lens of scripture. We don't look at something, say, "That seems to look good to me, now how do I understand scripture passages given that experience tells me this is already a good thing." So, given that scripture says that a woman is not permitted to teach or hold authority over a man (in a church.) How do we then interpret what this lady is doing? Just fyi, I do not know Joyce Meyers or anything of her ministry, so I'm not judging her, simply giving the means to evaluate it. A good example of getting it right, imo, is Beth Moore. I'm not a huge fan personally, but when I see some of her video's its clear that God has gifted this woman to preach, and to preach well. But she uses that gift scripturally. She uses it to minister to women. In Christ, Beja |
