Steve - none of the postings actually give a complete answer or discussion... do you have any insight on the topic? I'd like to know how to rightfully discern that the words in 1 Tim 2:12 are actually God's revealed will or just Paul's humble and culturaly biased opinion... | ||||||

Hello HISROSEBUD15, I have a multi-part response. Peter said: 2 Peter 1:19-21 (ESV) And we have something more sure, the prophetic word, to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts, [20] knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone's own interpretation. [21] For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. So all Scripture is from God Himself. Paul said: 2 Tim. 3:16-17 (ESV) All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righ teousness, [17] that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work. So all Scripture is authoritative. Then Peter said: 2 Peter 3:15-16 (ESV) And count the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given him, [16] as he does in all his letters when he speaks in them of these matters. There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures. Where Peter calls Paul's writing Scripture. Therefore, we must consider the verse(s) in question as God's revealed will. Steve |

5 | So, what's your final answer? | 1 Tim 2:12 | HISROSEBUD15 | 123541 | ||
Ok, Steve (thanks for responding btw) So then no woman should be in a position to speak "over" (i.e. teach) ANY man? My mom is a Pastor, and while I love her and believe that she wholeheartedly believes that God has called her to be a Pastor, so many people take issue with it that I want to hear what others have to say and why. I myself have wholeheartedly believed things that I later learned (through the Holy Spirit or just from life experience) were not true. So I want us both to be in line with God s Word and His will. I just want to be right. My mom has been ordained by a wise and sweet man of God...is he too misinformed? There are men in my family who have been saved through my ministry and my mom s. I have been called by the Holy Spirit to be an Evangelist. I sing, I dance, I teach young boys and girls God s Word and His ways... At what age will I no longer be authorized to teach my male students? I will leave the question of the seemingly successful ministries of Joyce Meyers, Paula White and the like for another discussion... Could it be that IDEALLY, in a world where everyone complied with and acted out God s will, that God would want only adult male Pastors? Is it limited to just Pastors...or does 1 Tim 2:12 also eliminate the offices of Deaconness and Co-Pastor as well? Bottom line, I have on my heart to facilitate a new series of discussions, workshops and fellowship services for the Pastors in my hometown, who seem to have much less in common than fellow believers ought to. I believe the division of the leadership in our local churches has contributed profoundly to our local churches inability to effect true, lasting change for our community...we would be so much further ahead. |

Titus 2:3-4 says that women are to teach women only no matter the age. | ||||||
