1 | Why can't women lead a church? | 1 Tim 2:12 | justme | 229607 | ||
Beja(:-( This forum has debated this subject many times over. The core tenets of the faith are solid, and we need to be ready to defend these. You and me, as mature Christians, can agree to disagree on this subject. With respect and brotherly love in Christ, as I stated I won't debate this subject. Blessings brother Beja. justme |

2 | Why can't women lead a church? | 1 Tim 2:12 | Beja | 229608 | ||
justme, I agree that it has been debated more than enough. I also have no desire to debate the issue. However, when a person 1.) discuses 1 Tim 2:12 while intentionally leaving of verses 13 and 14 which explicitely give the foundation of it, and 2.) goes on to discuss other possible foundations for Paul's command, which coincidentally lay the foundation for ignoring the command, 3.) and all to what appears to be a younger and perhaps unaware questioner who would not know that something crucial is being carefully left off... That I suppose will always prompt a response from myself. I have no thoughts of changing your mind. But I can't bring myself to remain silent in the face of that knowing that the continuation of Paul's thought is being edited out in order to make a speculation of what Paul would "think about women today." I would have to be removed from the forum first. I agree and am satisfied for you and I to disagree. However, you have made your decision in light of verses 14 and 15. I ask that you grant inquirers the same courtesy as to let them make up their mind in light of that crucial bit of scripture. That being said, I hope for a peaceful forum. But as in the church, peace bought at any price is wrong. But, having alerted the young lady to the remainder of Paul's statement, I am happy to drop the subject. In Christ, Beja |

Beja (:-( We disagree. So why do you keep this going? We show others our Love for Jesus by the way we treat one another. Please, I would rather get on to more serious issues. Be assured I have no hard feelings, I just happen to see it differently. Blessings. justme |

Justme, you asked, "We disagree. So why do you keep this going?" I only responded again in order to make clear that my objection with your post was not concerning a disagreement over the role of women (though I do disagree). For me to prolong a debate over such an issue is, I think, against the spirit of, and possibly even the letter of, the TOU. My objection and reason for posting was over your mishandling scripture. That is infact exactly the purpose of the forum. To discuss rightly exegeting passages. My objection to you is not: Women must not teach in churches. My objection to you is: When a statment is followed by a "For" plus a grounds of explination, we do not divorce the two when we teach or exegete the passage. On that issue, I hope we can find agreement. In Christ, Beja |
