1 | Are women allowed to teach/preach? | 1 Tim 2:12 | frogg197 | 15002 | ||
In 1 Timothy 1:9-15, "Instructions are given on proper dress and conduct for women in the church." I am especially interested in verse 12. It says, "I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent." What exactly does this mean? A person my husband works with says women should not be allowed to preach or teach in church. Is this true? Is there reference in the bible that states otherwise? I have been wanting to teach and I have listened to sermons given by women and have been very moved and felt the Holy Spirit working through them. Please let me know your thoughts. Thankyou! | ||||||
2 | Are women allowed to teach/preach? | 1 Tim 2:12 | jlpangilinan | 15003 | ||
First the verse that you mentioned is 1 Timothy 2:12-13 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. The way I understand it that woman is not allowed to be the HEAD OF THE CHURCH but they can teach and the same time they can preach. Please read this verse I quoted: Matthew 28:19-20 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. IN THE VERSE 20 JESUS MENTIONED THAT "Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:" WHAT IS IT THAT WE ARE GOING TO OBSERVE "ALL THINGS WHATSOEVER I HAVE COMMANDED YOU" AND IM SURE TEACHING IS INCLUDING TO "ALL WHATSOEVER I HAVE COMMANDED TO YOU" because Jesus Christ commanded His disciple to "teach" and when He "stated all nations" its include men and women. I hope you find my explaination helful Johnny |
